OHSU Opens Federally Qualified Health Center at Adventist Health Portland

Oregon Health & Science University held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday, March 1, 2024, to launch its new federally qualified health center on the southeast Portland campus of Adventist Health Portland. The center will begin seeing patients later this month.

“Thank you to OHSU for a beautiful partnership that helps us stay really focused on patients, especially the patients on the east side of Portland and also patients throughout the state,” said Kyle King, Adventist Health Portland president.

“This is so welcome in our community,” Metro councilor Duncan Hwang said during the event.

Multnomah County commissioner Julia Brim-Edwards echoed that sentiment. “This is a huge community asset for us,” she said. “A healthy community is a thriving community.”

Like its sister facility, the Richmond Clinic, the new health center will welcome and treat all southeast Portland residents, regardless of their ability to pay, insurance status, income, background and preferred language. The new health center will offer primary care, behavioral health, newborn screenings, addiction care, laboratory services, pharmacy and more.
