As healthcare providers, our mission is to transform lives across the Pacific Northwest by delivering world-class care with kindness and empathy. Every day, we witness the many ways healthcare extends beyond our clinic walls—social, mental, and physical support needs vital to every person.
From 2016-2024 The Oregon Clinic operated as a Benefit Company, a corporate structure that formalized our commitment to supporting our staff, patients, and community. To do even more for our community, we created The Oregon Clinic Foundation to provide grants to small local non-profits, and we will continue community volunteering and drives through our Community Benefit Committee.
The Oregon Clinic Foundation launched in December 2024 to create equitable access to essential resources by partnering with local non-profits dedicated to advancing health and equity. The Foundation allows anyone—patients, families, friends, and colleagues—to join us in support of this effort. Learn more about the Foundation here.
Since 2016, we make donations and support our community through a variety of activities organized by our Community Benefit Committee: 
- Annual hygiene supply kit drive that collects a large volume of supplies from team members for clients of Artist Mentorship Program (AMP), Central City Concern, Gather:Make:Shelter, p:ear, Portland Street Medicine, and Rahab’s Sisters. The Oregon Clinic is Central City Concern’s largest supplier of hygiene products by far.
- Funded and assembled welcome baskets for residents of Central City Concern’s Recuperative Care Program at Evergreen Crossing, a new development that delivers health care, housing, and respite care for individuals who would otherwise be discharged from hospitals to homelessness.
- Partnered with local non-profits AMP, Oregon Food Bank, Schoolhouse Supplies, SOLVE, and With Love Oregon at volunteer events for team members, friends, and family in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a recognized holiday at The Oregon Clinic.
- Organized toy drives supporting Kinship House, Northwest Children’s Outreach, and With Love Oregon, receiving hundreds of donations from team members.
- Sponsored a Rebuilding Together project to upgrade the house of an elder in NE Portland and coordinated staff volunteers for a packed day of renovations.
- Hosted volunteer nights at the Oregon Food Bank for team members, their friends, and family.
PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL CARE IN THE PORTLAND AREA FOR OVER 30 YEARS
Over thirty years ago, a small group of private practice physicians had a bold idea: collaborate to build their own specialty medical practice, run and owned by physicians.
The physicians at these six specialty practices all valued giving their patients personalized care and wanted to retain their independence and autonomy in their work. They also saw the benefit in collaborating on business logistics and services such as medical billing, IT support, marketing, benefits management, and more. By joining together to create a large multi-specialty practice, they could reduce time spent on administrative work and gain more time for patient visits, research work, and medical leadership. In 1994, they formed The Oregon Clinic.
What started as a group of 40 physicians has grown into a comprehensive and thriving physician-owned practice with over 30 specialties, including primary care. We see patients in modern, convenient offices throughout the Portland Metro area including Beaverton, Clackamas, Gresham, Happy Valley, Hillsboro, Newberg, Oregon City, Portland, and Tualatin.
The Oregon Clinic continues to honor our founding physicians’ vision of an independent, physician-led practice dedicated to individualized patient care.
