The Portland Clinic

What The Portland Clinic does

The Portland Clinic is a private, physician-owned multi-specialty medical group founded in 1921 and headquartered in Portland, Oregon. Following the January 2025 closure of its Downtown office, the group operates five clinical locations and one administrative site in the Portland metropolitan area, employing 501–1,000 staff including more than 130 physicians across 25+ areas of medical and surgical practice. It serves more than 90,000 patients annually, functioning as a legacy independent provider in a Portland market where hospital systems and payer-aligned groups have consolidated primary care and specialty capacity over the past two decades.

Care delivery is supported by the Epic MyChart platform for electronic health records and patient portal functionality, and the group launched telemedicine services in 2020 to extend access beyond physical visits. The clinic operates two principal subsidiaries: Alberty Surgical Center (acquired 2008), which provides ambulatory surgical capacity, and The Portland Clinic Foundation (established 2016), a charitable arm. Strategic partnerships with NW Permanente/Kaiser Permanente (since 2011), the Portland Coordinated Care Association (since 2013), Oregon Anesthesiology Group, and MediCopy extend clinical and operational capacity without full ownership integration.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service and contract-based reimbursement across commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay patient populations, supplemented by ancillary income from in-house imaging, laboratory, and ambulatory surgical services. As a private physician-owned entity, operating surplus is reinvested into facilities, technology, and physician compensation rather than distributed to external shareholders. The clinic has entered an active restructuring phase, marked by the 2024 reduction of Urgent Care Saturday hours, the 2025 Downtown closure, and the appointment of Amy Mulcaster as CEO.
