Health Centers of Lane County provide affordable primary care for
the whole family – infants, children, adolescents, adults, and
seniors – as well as integrated behavioral health, alternative
services such as acupuncture, and preventative dental services. At
Community Health Centers, we focus on integrated care that values
the whole person. Our services encompass not only treatment and
prevention of illness, but also health education and behavioral
health services. At Lane County Community Health Centers we have
adopted a model of primary care called Patient Centered Medical
Home. Our services are organized around care teams who work
collaboratively to support our patients. Our integrated care teams
include primary care providers, nurses, medical assistants, patient
care coordinators and behavioral health specialists. This model of
primary care prioritizes the patient, who has increased access to
other services beyond general medical care at our clinics. Our care
teams also help patients reach their optimal health status by
addressing social determinants of health barriers to care such as
transportation, food insecurity, or housing. *While this position
is posted for a primary location it will require the ability to
float to our other clinics as needed to provide coverage, training
and support. * * Please note - travel between all of our clinic
locations will be required during on-boarding and training period
