Services We Provide

Medical Services

As a Federally Qualified Health Center, Outside In provides 28,000 medical visits a year to the most vulnerable members of our community. Our two clinics, located in downtown Portland and the Rosewood Neighborhood in East Multnomah County provide comprehensive and accessible medical and mental health services. For those who are unable to come to us, we have two medical outreach vans to provide care right where they are, before medical problems escalate and they end up in the emergency room.

In our School-Based Health Center at Milwaukie High School in Clackamas County, we reach out to at-risk youth and families in the surrounding communities providing accessible health care, health literacy education, and health resources that establish positive relationships between students and health care.

If you do not have health insurance, our friendly and knowledgeable staff can help you sign up for Oregon Health Plan.

Quality Primary Health Care

Poverty, homelessness, and inadequate access to health care prevent people from achieving full health and well-being. With our client-centered approach, Outside In specializes in providing care that overcomes barriers and helps our patients reach their health goals. We work in partnership with all our patients to find a path towards greater health and wellness.

Other Health Services

We are committed to providing the health services that are needed by our community. These include Drug Users Health Services, Tattoo Removal, Transgender and Gender Non-conforming care, and an onsite Pharmacy.

Partnership

Outside In is a teaching site for Oregon Health & Science University and the National College of Natural Medicine. These partnerships extend our reach.

Multidisciplinary Care

A coalition of medical doctors, naturopathic doctors, behavioral health counselors, Medication Assisted Treatment providers, medical assistants, and nurse case managers join together to provide relationship-based primary care.
