Neighborhood Health Center
Comprehensive medical, dental, behavioral, and reproductive healthcare for patients of all ages.
Purpose
Neighborhood Health Center (NHC) is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit that serves the underserved and at-risk patients in Washington and Clackamas Counties around Portland. An FQHC is a reimbursement designation from the Bureau of Primary Health Care and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. This designation is significant for several health programs funded under the Health Center Consolidation Act (Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act).
Vision
Neighborhood Health Center’s patient-centered approach to health care honors the unique needs and circumstances of each individual patient. NHC sees people, not problems, and recognizes that the time spent as a patient in a doctor’s office is only one factor in a person’s overall health. Our leading edge, integrated clinical teams work in partnership with patients, their families, and the communities we serve to provide whole-person care, prevention, and ongoing support. As a result, NHC is our neighbors’ first choice for health and wellness.
Mission
Building healthy communities – one neighbor at a time – through patient-centered health care, regardless of income or current state of wellness.
Additional Culture Details
NHC is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, supportive, and informed space for both our patients and our staff. As an FQHC, we’re proud to serve a wide and diverse range of patient populations, many of whom may experience marginalization based on their identities or lived experiences.
We’re also proud to have a diverse staff population whose demographics mirror our patients. At NHC, we understand that our differences are our strengths, and that diversity in our staff provides us with a full range of perspectives that help us better support our patients. We also recognize that diversity is earned by having an organization that supports, celebrates, and uplifts our staff so that every member of the NHC team can comfortably bring their whole self to work.
