“Where we get care matters,” said Derald Walker, PhD, President & CEO of Cascadia Health. “As we grow to meet the needs of our community, we want to ensure the spaces in which we provide care truly offer clients a sense of welcome and safety—where healing can flourish.”
In addition to Cascadia leadership, the event will include remarks from Jill Archer, Vice President of Behavioral Health for CareOregon and Dave Baden, Deputy Director of Programs and Policy for the Oregon Health Authority.
With a $1.8 million investment from CareOregon, Talbert Health Center embodies a trauma-informed design philosophy in line with Cascadia’s vision for clinical excellence. The health center offers additional staff workstations, designated family spaces, a resource room (including laundry facilities and a shower), additional group meeting and exam rooms, and more.
“We’re extremely grateful to our state and community partners, development team, and outstanding employees,” said Walker. “The vision, creativity, and dedication of these individuals and teams allow us to provide critical care in inviting spaces like Talbert Health Center.”
