PORTLAND, Ore.—The Northwest Health Foundation is the newest client of EnviroMedia Social Marketing. The Foundation is a nonprofit that works to advance and promote the health of the people of Oregon and southwest Washington.

The agency has also expanded its team with two new hires and one transfer to its Portland-based office.
