The Wellness Center

The expansion of our La Pine campus will include a new, 3-story, 27,000 square foot building—more than doubling our current space—plus a much-needed remodel of our current building and 63 additional parking stalls. Here is a snapshot of what is envisioned for the new space which will be located at 51615 Bluewood Avenue, La Pine, OR 97739:

• Thousands of additional patients will gain access to services close to home; overcoming transportation barriers to care especially during inclement weather.
• Addition of a dental clinic for our patients will result in better preventative oral care and treatments for the whole family.
• New imaging center will encourage more people to receive regular mammograms, CT scans, and ultrasound imaging. This will result in earlier detection of cancers and other serious medical conditions and will relieve stress on the Bend market as capacity increases in south County.
• Over 5,000 sq ft of space devoted to providing a myriad of mental health services that are currently available in limited capacity in the south County area will result in more timely care for behavioral health issues and warm handoffs from primary care providers where needs are often first identified.
• Addition of a childcare center for the children of LCHC staff will allow staff to touch base with their children during work hours, improve employee retention and work-life balance, and save cost on private daycare.
• A large conference room with remote conferencing technology will enhance our community education programs, staff training, and interaction with outside groups and individuals.
• By moving administrative support staff to offices in the Wellness Center, four additional primary care providers can be added to the clinical team bringing the total to fourteen providers and increasing the primary care capacity by 45%. This will accommodate our growing population and reduce wait times for an appointment.
