I just know that I read consistently in Clackamas Review and other publications about available social services in communities south of Portland. Gladstone has just opened a new low-cost/free medical clinic, for example. Perhaps there is a significant difference in need for services between east and west of the Willamette. West including Lake O and West Linn. East including Gladstone and all the way out to Sandy/Barlow.
