EDS Healthcare in Oregon
OHSU in Portland has an EDS referral process and cardiac programs that serve connective tissue disorder patients. Yellow Brick Clinic near Seattle, Washington is the nearest EDS Society Center of Excellence. Oregon has expanded EPSDT (Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment) coverage for genetic services, which benefits younger patients on Medicaid.
Portland-area patients have reasonable access to OHSU and can reach Seattle programs within 3 hours. Rural eastern Oregon is extremely isolated, with very limited specialist access. The Cascade Range effectively divides the state, leaving eastern communities far from major medical centers.
Finding Movement / Exercise for EDS
Look for instructors with specific hypermobility training who modify exercises to build strength within safe joint range rather than pushing flexibility.
