About the Organization
Multnomah County Health Department is a large urban community health center serving the needs of uninsured, low income and underserved residents in Portland, Oregon. Since 1977, the County has been a direct grantee of the Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC). The County is Oregons largest community health center, with over 1000 employees providing services through school based health centers (12 sites), primary care (6 sites), dental (4 sites) and correctional facilities. We take a leadership role in many local, state, and regional safety net initiatives. Our long range strategic plan includes strategies that seek to increase coordination and minimize redundancy within our clinical systems while continuing to maintain and strengthen our community connections and partnerships.
