Clark County residents cross the river for scarce specialty care

Clark County faces a growing shortage of specialists, forcing many residents to seek complex care in Portland. The healthcare workforce isn’t expanding fast enough to meet demand, leading to frustrating referrals and lengthy travel, though some say the care is worth the trek. The Association of American Medical Colleges projects a potential shortfall of up to 5,500 specialists by 2036, prompting calls for better local access and stronger collaboration between primary care providers and specialists to improve timely, coordinated care.

Gluesenkamp Perez Secures Second Term in Washington's 3rd District

Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez has secured a second term in the U.S. House of Representatives for Washington's 3rd Congressional District, defeating Republican Joe Kent with 51.55% of the vote. The race was closely watched, with Perez's lead growing slightly with each new batch of results. In other local elections, several races in Washington's 17th and 18th Districts remain tight, and a proposal to fund more police officers in Vancouver is failing. Former Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler lost her bid for Commissioner of Public Lands.
