In Oregon, five hospital systems plus CareOregon invested in a $21.5 million project last year to build nearly 400 units for homeless people.

Oregon Health Authority officials said at a news briefing Tuesday that hospitals should not be vaccinating all employees but instead should be focused on staff who could become infected.

Hospitals are reaping the benefits of the Affordable Care Act, seeing sharply increasing profits and plummeting costs of charity care. OHSU witnessed a whopping 61 percent decline while Legacy Emanuel was not far behind with a 50 percent savings.
