What Central Oregon Pediatric Associates does

Central Oregon Pediatric Associates (COPA) is a private pediatric medical practice founded in 1976 by Dr. Mary Brown in Bend, Oregon, with Dr. John Chunn joining as a partner in the practice's first year. Operating as a physician-owned partnership with no external investment or holding structure, COPA runs four clinic locations across Bend (East Bend, West Bend/Northwest Crossing, South Bend) and Redmond, Oregon, serving as a Patient-Centered Primary Care Home for children from newborn through adolescence. The practice holds the Oregon Health Authority's highest 5-Star PCPCH certification and has been recognized as Best Pediatric Clinic in the region for six consecutive years (2020-2025).

COPA operates a multi-specialty pediatric platform combining core primary care services — well-baby, well-child, and well-teen exams, sick and injury care, immunizations, and 364-day same-day urgent visits — with on-site specialty services including pediatric allergy and immunology (with oral immunotherapy via a triple board-certified allergist), behavioral health, board-certified lactation consulting, registered dietitians, and visiting specialists from Portland children's hospitals. Patient-facing digital infrastructure includes the MyHealth patient portal (online appointment scheduling, lab reports, prescription refills, secure messaging, payment) and video-based virtual visits for behavioral health and nutrition. A 24/7 pediatric nurse triage line, bilingual staff and interpreter services, billing advocates, community health workers, and Oregon Medicaid (OHP) enrollment assistance round out the practice's wraparound services.

COPA generates fee-for-service revenue from commercial insurance billing, Oregon Medicaid/OHP (including Pacific Source Community Solutions, Eastern Oregon Coordinated Care Organization, and Medicaid Open Card), and patient payments. Distribution is purely regional across Central Oregon, with extended evening and weekend hours at the East Bend and Redmond locations providing same-day access 364 days per year. The practice relies on a sales-led motion combining community partnerships, organic search, content marketing (a Child Healthcare News blog), and word-of-mouth referrals rather than paid acquisition channels.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Circle Medical: Tech-enabled primary and pediatric care provider offering virtual and in-person visits in multiple states. Represents the telehealth-first competitive threat to COPA's lower-acuity visits.
• One Medical (pediatric / family practice arm): Tech-enabled primary care platform expanding into pediatrics and family care, with strong digital experience and capital. Represents the technology- and capital-rich model that well-funded entrants bring to compete with COPA.

Direct peers

• Metropolitan Pediatrics: Portland, Oregon-based independent pediatric group practice with multiple clinic locations serving the Pacific Northwest. Operates a similar primary-plus-specialty pediatric model in an adjacent Oregon market, making it a direct regional comparable.
• Pediatric Associates: Large multi-site pediatric group practice offering well/sick care, behavioral health, and specialty services across Florida, California, and other states. Closest analog to COPA at greater scale and a useful benchmark for multi-specialty pediatric group economics.
• Olson Pediatrics: Independent multi-provider pediatric practice in Bend, Oregon, directly competing with COPA for families in the same Central Oregon market. Strong direct competitor on local primary care pediatrics.
• Bend Memorial Clinic (Mosaic Medical - pediatric services): Community health-center based primary care in Central Oregon that serves pediatric patients, including OHP populations. Comparable to COPA's wraparound model and Medicaid-oriented service mix in the same geography.

Broad incumbents

• Children's Health of Atlanta (pediatric primary care network): Large pediatric health system that operates primary care practices alongside specialty and hospital services. Useful benchmark for how a vertically integrated pediatric system can outcompete independent groups like COPA over time.
• The Portland Clinic: Multi-specialty physician group in the Portland metro offering pediatrics among other specialties. Comparable as a Pacific Northwest multi-specialty group with a pediatric service line, though broader in scope than COPA.

Regional players

• ZoomCare: Pacific Northwest-based urgent care and primary care platform that offers pediatric visits. Operates in Oregon and competes with COPA for same-day pediatric visits, particularly in the Bend-to-Portland corridor.
• Northwest Pediatrics (Portland area): Independent pediatric group practice serving the Portland metro with a similar primary and limited specialty care model. Comparable Pacific Northwest pediatric group with overlapping competitive dynamics but different geography.
