Family Health Center

Our family health center, staffed by volunteer physicians and nurses, is another program that is an integral part of our services at PACS. In Oregon today, over 1 in 9 families live without health benefits. Due to lay-offs, temporary hiring and low-wage jobs, many find themselves without access to health insurance.

Free medical help is available to those without medical insurance. This clinic is run by two employees (one full-time, one part-time) and volunteer health care professionals including doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners pharmacists and medical assistants. In 2008, 999 people made use of this service. Primary care accounts for the bulk of the services provided.

All laboratory, radiology, and emergency services are facilitated by Adventist Medical Center in Portland. Many physicians from a wide range of specialties are willing to treat our patients on a referral basis. The clinic works closely with the Walla Walla College School of Nursing, Adventist Medical Center, and other area organizations and specialists to provide primary medical care to persons of restricted income with no access to health insurance.

As a member of the Coalition of Community Health Clinics we link with other agencies to give our clients complete care.
