What is a Community Health Center?
The Health Center program was created in 1964 to ensure the sustainability of primary care services in underserved areas. Following an extensive application process, with deep involvement by our community Board of Directors, Winding Waters earned Health Center status in 2015. As a result, we have been able to expand services and meet primary care needs across Wallowa County.
Health Centers:
o Are community-based and patient-directed organizations
o Deliver comprehensive, high-quality primary care services
o Ensure access to care for medically underserved individuals and families
o Integrate access to pharmacy, behavioral health, substance use disorder, and oral health services
