The Oregon Health Authority and Multnomah County Public Health have confirmed a measles case with potential exposure at Mt. Hood Community College’s Gresham Campus. Individuals present in the Academic Center (Building 17, main level) on Monday, April 13, between 10:00 a.m. and 1:50 p.m. should review official public health guidance immediately.


To protect the community, students and staff are urged to:

  • Verify Immunity: Check vaccination records or consult a provider.

  • Vaccinate: The MMR vaccine is highly effective and offers strong protection.

  • Monitor Health: Stay home if develop a fever, cough, or rash. Contact a doctor before visiting a clinic.

  • Cooperate: Follow all quarantine directions from health officials.


While the risk for vaccinated individuals is very low, measles is highly contagious. Prompt action helps ensure campus safety. Detailed notices are available in multiple languages on the Oregon Health Authority website.
