About Health in Morrow County, Oregon

Below Oregon's health outcomes
At 76.5 years, Morrow County's life expectancy trails Oregon's state average of 77.0 years. The county also faces a higher poor/fair health rate (24.1%) compared to most Oregon peers, placing it among the state's lower-performing counties on this measure.
Eastern Oregon's health challenge
Morrow County's 76.5-year life expectancy is similar to neighboring Umatilla County (75.9 years) and Union County (76.5 years), reflecting shared rural health pressures across eastern Oregon. The county's 24.1% poor/fair health rate significantly exceeds its neighbors' rates, indicating distinct health burdens in Morrow County.
Primary care access is limited
With just 41 primary care providers per 100,000 residents, Morrow County has far fewer doctors than the state average and faces real challenges scheduling appointments. The 10.7% uninsured rate—higher than Oregon's 8.1% average—means many residents delay or skip care due to cost.
