COUNTY
ISenior Citizens Council of Clackamas County
n the month of February, all MWNW stores will be asking for donations to support the Senior Citizens Council of Clackamas County. This nonprofit has served seniors of Clackamas County for 50 years and counting!
Why is this nonprofit so important? Their services provide critical support to at-risk seniors and adults with disabilities who are in danger of abuse, neglect and exploitation. The highly skilled and professional staff protect the seniors’ finances, oversee bill-paying needs, and when necessary, find them a safe, clean place to live. Their staff then continue to regularly check on each client for as long as they are needed.
On average, their staff serves 750 new clients annually. 75 percent of their clients are women and 70 percent are at or below the federal poverty level. Seniors above 85 years old are the fastest growing population and are also the most in need of services. It is estimated that 1 in 6 seniors will be a victim of financial exploitation and 1 in 10 will be abused or neglected. Please help us raise funds by donating online or visiting one of our local stores.
Family-owned and -operated, dedicated to providing their customers the best products at the best prices, all while donating to and participating in their local communities, Mattress World Northwest exemplifies the best of what retail businesses have to offer. This proves that not all mattress stores are created equal.
Get a better night’s sleep and help support your local community at the nearest Mattress World Northwest store. They are open every day or you can order online at mattressworldnorthwest.com.

The dream of creating a private practice centered on patient care inspired the opening of Smile Oswego Dental. Dr. Marcus Uchida and Dr. Fadi Ibsies, close friends and seasoned professionals with thirty-two years of combined experience, opened Smile Oswego Dental in January 2020. They envisioned a safe and friendly environment where patients could experience exceptional dental care and feel genuinely valued. This vision became the foundation for Smile Oswego Dental’s philosophy.
At Smile Oswego Dental, building trust and fostering strong relationships with patients is at the heart of everything they do. The team listens attentively to patients’ concerns, encourages open communication and uses photos and X-rays to provide clear explanations of oral health needs. This transparent approach empowers patients to make confident, informed decisions about their care. Every interaction reflects a patientfirst philosophy, and each individual is treated with the care and respect of a family member.
Creating a welcoming environment for patients of all ages is essential. Jennifer, the office manager, sets a positive tone with her warm greetings, and the clinical team ensures patients
Smile Oswego Dental combines this personal touch with modern technology. The intraoral camera, for example, provides patients with clear visual insights into their oral health to enhance understanding and confidence in treatment decisions. They offer a full range of services, including restorative dentistry, root canal therapy, dental implant restorations and emergency care.
The staff at Smile Oswego Dental finds deep fulfillment in serving the Lake Oswego community. The team takes pride in being a trusted part of the community’s health and seeing the joy and confidence that restored smiles bring their patients.
Looking ahead, Smile Oswego Dental aims to grow while maintaining its patient-centered philosophy. By continuing to deliver exceptional care in a supportive environment, the practice remains dedicated to improving lives and fostering trust, one smile at a time.
