About Us

Orchid Health is a rural health clinic organization that seeks to revolutionize healthcare from the ground up by designing and spreading a model of community health that is centered on positive relationships with our patients while creating the best possible place to work for our care teams.

Since our founding in 2014, with the belief that people in rural communities deserve a fair and just opportunity at living healthy lives, we have grown to a team of 43 employees across three clinic sites: Oakridge, Estacada, and McKenzie River. Our PCPs see 10-14 patients/day working with a robust care team that includes behaviorists, RNs, community health workers, and MAs. We are passionate about improving health upstream, in our communities, with compassion, and by challenging the status quo of our nation’s healthcare system.

Position Highlights

In collaboration with Orchid Leadership, the Associate Medical Director, and Provider Teams, the Director of Community Health will help execute the company’s strategy and help develop, implement, and evaluate the medical practice delivery model to support Orchid’s vision, mission, and four strategic pillars:

1. Creating a great place to work
2. Delivering an exceptional patient experience
3. Improving community health outcomes
4. Ensuring sustainable financial outcomes

• I am interested in redesigning primary care, guided by the following Core Values:

1. Showing Respect
