For many individuals and families, accessing timely and compassionate health care — especially mental health services — can be a challenge. One Community Health works to close that gap by delivering inclusive, patient-centered care that meets people where they are, both literally and figuratively.
Rooted in dignity, empathy and respect, One Community Health believes that health care is more than treating illness; it is about building a healthier, more connected community where wellness is accessible to all. Through its mobile medical program and wrap-around support services, the organization brings critical care directly into Oregon and Washington communities in the Columbia River Gorge, helping remove barriers that too often prevent people from seeking or receiving care.
Providence’s $65,000 investment in One Community Health directly advances this mission. The funding strengthens access to mental health services and supports the organization’s mobile medical program, enabling care teams to deliver coordinated, whole-person care to individuals who might otherwise go without.
“With this support from Providence, we can continue to offer critical services to our community members,” said Alicia Swift, grant writer with One Community Health. “Often, programs that don’t bring in their own revenue get overlooked. Because of funders like Providence, we can continue to support One Community Health’s services that extend beyond clinic walls and provide resources that otherwise would be inaccessible to many.”
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to compassionate service. Like Providence, One Community Health is guided by the belief that health is deeply connected to community well-being. By supporting programs that emphasize inclusion, trust, and comprehensive support, Providence helps ensure that care reaches people in ways that are responsive to their real-life needs.
Together, Providence and One Community Health are helping build a community emboldened by access to care, strengthened by compassion, and supported in living full, rewarding lives.
