Media invited to virtual press conference at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 24

During a virtual press conference today at 1:30 p.m., St. Charles CEO Joe Sluka will be joined by local leaders to share that the Central Oregon region is at a critical turning point in the COVID-19 crisis and that the outcome will depend on whether the public heeds the directive to stay home.

To view the press conference, media members are invited to register in advance for a limited number of spaces using this Zoom link. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the press conference.

Community members can watch the conference live on the Central Oregon Emergency Information Network Facebook page

Bend Mayor Sally Russell, Oregon Rep. Cheri Helt, and Dr. George Conway, Health Services Director for Deschutes County, will join Sluka in calling for action on the part of Central Oregonians to stay home and save lives during this critical time.

Sluka will share projection models that demonstrate how COVID-19 will increase the need for hospital beds and supplies, how behavior will drive that demand, and how the actions that Central Oregonians take today can save lives. 

“To say that we are facing unprecedented times is putting it mildly,” said Sluka. “The time to act is right now.”

Sluka, Helt, Russell, and Conway will be available for questions from media at the conclusion of the press conference. Members of the media can use the chat function to ask questions.
