Cascadia Health

What Cascadia Health does

Cascadia Health is a Portland, Oregon-based nonprofit and the largest community-based behavioral health and substance use treatment services organization in the state, founded in 1981 with 817 employees serving over 20,000 Oregonians annually. The organization operates four primary health centers (Cascadia Plaza in SE Portland, Cascadia Garlington in NE Portland, Cascadia Talbert in Clackamas, and Cascadia Woodland Park) plus a corporate office at Lloyd Corporate Plaza, offering integrated mental health treatment, addiction recovery services (including substance use and problem gambling), primary care, housing supports, peer-delivered services, and 24/7 crisis intervention through its Project Respond mobile crisis team and urgent walk-in clinic. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service clinical care reimbursed under its Certified Community Behavioral Health Center (CCBHC) and Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) federal designations, sliding-fee-scale self-pay arrangements for uninsured patients, and a supplementary donations and corporate fundraising program that includes an annual Culture of Caring Gala.

The underlying technology stack is deliberately limited: patient-facing functionality runs through the third-party MyChart (OCHIN) patient portal for appointment management, video telehealth counseling, and provider messaging, while email outreach is handled through Constant Contact. Distribution is entirely direct-to-patient and field-based — walk-in crisis care, scheduled outpatient appointments, mobile crisis response for Multnomah County, street and housing outreach teams — with regional scope confined to the Portland metropolitan area and broader Pacific Northwest Oregon market. Service differentiation centers on the whole-person care model that combines clinical, housing, and recovery supports within one organizational system, a 45-year operating history, peer-delivered services staffed by individuals with lived experience, and federal regulatory designations that create reimbursement and contracting advantages for the populations it serves.
