BEAT THE FLU 2019-2020!!!

Oregon SB488 requires Oregon Department of Corrections to offer flu vaccine to all AIC on an opt-out basis; meaning everyone will sign a consent form accepting or declining flu vaccine beginning flu

season 2019-2020.

Why get YOUR flu shot?

◆ It decreases the chance of you getting flu and flu-related complications!

◆ It decreases your chance of getting FUTURE flu due to your immune sys-tems ‘memory’

of the vaccine!

◆ It decreases the chance you will give the flu to someone!

Look for YOUR chance to manage YOUR health soon! Flu vaccine programs will begin in most institutions 10/1/19 and YOUR part will be needed to succeed to Beat the flu in

2019-2020!!

Common Myth

Myth: Vaccines are bad for you, they cause things like Autism.

Fact: There are no studies showing the causal nature of vaccines-in-and-of-themselves to cause any chronic or debilitating conditions.

Oregon Department of Corrections Notice

In an effort to provide healthier meals for AIC’s, the Oregon Department of Corrections is doing their part to lower the sodium in the AIC meals. ODOC has already transitioned from margarine, cheese and spices to a lower sodium product and we are working on other alternatives to lunch meat, which is known to be high in sodium.

PRCF has removed salt shakers from the tables in the dining room. The next step is to remove table salt entirely from the chow hall. Until that time, salt will available at the end of the serving line for those that would like to add extra salt to their meals. Please use the salt shakers as you walk thru the line and leave the shakers for others to use.

INCLEMENT WEATHER HAZARDS

Please help us ensure our facility remains as safe as possible from ice and snow build up due to the inclement weather conditions. Report safety concerns for areas that are not being addressed by shoveling or ice melt and keep the sidewalks free of slipping hazards. The sudden melting of snow and ice is causing lots of water from the gutters onto the sidewalks so be careful.

Watch for slick areas as you walk. Snowy and icy areas may not be obvious. Floors may need mopped more frequently, and so may be wet. Floors may be dry, but your shoes may be wet. Don’t hurry under these conditions.

Please be mindful of snow and ice hazards on walkways. Be careful and walk like a duck:

➢ SLOW DOWN ➢ BEND YOUR KNEES ➢ POINT YOUR TOES OUTWARD ➢ TAKE SMALLER STEPS

Newsletter Submission 1.13.2020

Do you want to get a jump start on

your future?

Well…come join us at GP Outreach

and learn what the AIP can do for you! It’s

never too late to sign up and never too late

to plan for your future.

Be on the look out for the next round of G.P. Outreach sign up sheets on your unit. If you miss the sign- up sheet, please send a communication to

Ms. Bigler to be added to the list.

Here’s what a GP Outreach Committee Member has to say:

My name is Dewitt Rhodes I’m 35 years old. I’ve been involved

in a life of drugs and crime since the age of eleven. Things for me

were hard considering I moved around a lot. So, adjusting to new

environments was something I got used to. It all tied into my

criminality and drug use, because I knew before too long, I’d move

to a new place so I would just leave a bad impression and not care.

I joined the AIP program to give myself a chance at finally having

some stability. Giving my family the man, they deserve. It has been

a real eye-opening experience by making me identify my thinking

and it being the real cause of all things criminal/addict, that I have

ever been involved in not my circumstance.

I just want to say if I wouldn’t have had this opportunity, I would

never be able to stop my old ways and habits so in all actuality I’m

saying thank you to staff and my peers hopefully my words will

inspire the next person to give himself a chance at success.
