Monitors the plan’s progress and implementation. Evaluates the plan’s effectiveness. Works with other disability service programs to improve coordination between different services, making them more useful to people with disabilities.

In-person meetings are usually in Salem 3 times per year. The 4<sup>th</sup> meeting may be where a Center for Independent Living can be visited. Virtual options are available when travel is not possible. Respond to emails and other Council communications in a timely manner. Engage in the work of the Council. This may include a committee or project work group. Time involvement for committees or work groups differs by the group, but is often at least two hours per month. Contribute, as able, to SILC tasks.

Baynum Jr. has been creating photo narratives for many years. Severe flooding in the early 2000’s left him without a home and many irreplaceable belongings were ruined including his cameras and professional equipment. Fortunately, R.J. was able to salvage a number of slides which he kept safe in the homes of friends. The photos in this exhibit date prior to 2004 and show a world of abundance and beauty where human presence is limited yet keenly felt.<br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;font-weight:normal'>Bio narrative:</span></strong><br>I wandered to my Beloved, Corvallis from Wilmington, Delaware many years ago. These photos are from my Portfolio which I kept safe after 3 floods and bad mistakes during 30 years of traveling and living in and around… this Country. I am a retired Physically Disabled Army Vet living on SSDI in recovery who plays Blues Harmonica passionately while hanging with my friends at Blues Jams. I also take Nature and Fine Art Photographs. I am active in charity and community events and volunteer as a Blues Rock DJ at KORC 105.9 FM and I am also an active Homeless Advocate. <br>R.J.

More than 45 million confirmed coronavirus infections have been reported in the U.S. and more than half of COVID-19 patients experienced long COVID, called Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), six months after recovery. Long COVID conditions such as pain, difficulty breathing, hypertension, and fatigue can be debilitating. Living with long COVID has upended daily life for millions of Americans and it can be difficult to get support and care for symptoms. Vaccination against COVID-19 can reduce the likelihood of developing long COVID and can even help people with long COVID feel better. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>This webinar from The National Institute for Health Care Management will bring together experts to discuss the latest research on long COVID and strategies to support individuals with the conditions.</span></b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'> Speakers will discuss:</span><o:p></o:p></p><ul type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>The national effort to understand, treat, and prevent the long-term effects of COVID-19 </span><o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>New and emerging data on long COVID in different populations broken down by demographic factors </span><o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Strategies to address the impact of long COVID on the health care system through federal policy recommendations and payment models</span><o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=gmail-msonospacing style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Symbol'>·</span><span style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'> </span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>A health plan’s efforts to connect individuals suffering from long COVID to care and other resources.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=gmail-msonospacing><em><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;font-style:normal'>An ASL interpreter will be available!</span></em><o:p></o:p></p><p class=gmail-msonospacing><em><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;font-style:normal'>You can register here: <a href="https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1061012646777013775?utm_source=NIHCM+Foundation&utm_campaign=88c632c8ec-LongCOVID_Webinar_Day_Of&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6f88de9846-88c632c8ec-167743148">https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1061012646777013775?utm_source=NIHCM+Foundation&utm_campaign=88c632c8ec-LongCOVID_Webinar_Day_Of&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6f88de9846-88c632c8ec-167743148</a></span></em><i><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'> </span></i><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
