Grand Ronde Healthcare clinic

The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde will open a new public health building Friday in Grand Ronde to provide medical and dental care, vaccinations, health education and cultural services to members of the community.

The idea for the building was born from challenges during the pandemic, trying to provide continuing health care services while meeting the demand for COVID-19 testing and vaccinations.

A priority in designing the building was ensuring space for a culturally informed health and wellness program. Wellness education will be held in the large community room, and videos on nutrition will be created to reach tribal members where ever they live.
