"At Scandals I saw Multnomah County-provided information about preventing the spread of MPV, recognizing symptoms, and getting tested, with bartenders and owners briefed on protections for customers and staff. I learned the county is also developing a train-the-trainer program to create community ambassadors who can share accurate medical information without implying exclusivity, and that relying on familiar queer establishments makes messaging more personal and trusted within the community." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
