On March 23, 2021, The Children’s Clinic has been awarded 5 Star designation by the state of Oregon’s Patient Center Primary Care Home Program. This is the highest level that can be awarded to a clinic. This designation shows our commitment to our patients and families to offer high quality care. We provide patient-centered, comprehensive, team-based care focusing on quality care of our patients. We strive to encourage strong relationships between patients, families, staff, and providers to better care for patients and whole families.
