Wallowa Valley Center for Wellness (WVCW) is a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) and Oregon-registered nonprofit (Tax ID 93-1164505) that delivers integrated behavioral health services across Wallowa County, Oregon. Founded in 1994 as the county mental health clinic and headquartered in Enterprise, the organization operates six core service lines: Mental Health, Substance Use (including medication-assisted treatment), Youth & Family, Crisis Support (24/7 via the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), Developmental Disabilities, and Telehealth. Service delivery combines walk-in clinic access at three physical locations, mobile outreach (132,392 miles traveled in 2024), residential care homes, and virtual sessions to reach a rural population of approximately 7,600 residents.

Operationally, WVCW runs 16+ programs with a staff of 51-100 across clinical, administrative, and facilities functions, led by CEO Chantay Jett (since 2015), CFO Tammy Greer (since 2007), COO Bridget Brown, CCO Vanessa Lewis, and Medical Director/psychiatrist Dr. Josh Boverman. Technology infrastructure consists of standard EHR/EMR systems (MyChart via OCHIN), secure video conferencing for telehealth, DocuSign-based online enrollment, and standard HIPAA-compliant communications; no proprietary technology platform is disclosed.

WVCW's revenue model is built on a mix of insurance billing (Medicaid/Medicare), self-pay with a sliding fee scale, and state/federal grants flowing through the Oregon Health Authority CCBHC framework. The organization does not publicly disclose revenue figures. Services are delivered under a 'no one denied for inability to pay' policy, with clinical operations supplemented by residential programs, ACT (Assertive Community Treatment), peer support, veterans services, and a Director of Housing Solutions function, reflecting a whole-person care model.
