About Us

Delivering whole health

At Cascadia Health, care begins with you. We offer mental health, addiction recovery, primary care, housing, crisis intervention, wellness services, and more – all connected to treat the whole you (mind, body, and daily life) – because it all matters.

Whether you come to us for one or many services, you’re in the right place. Our teams connect services around you – not the other way around.

We’re rooted in community. Our programs are local and on-the-ground, shaped by the people we serve. We show up where healing happens – in clinics, at home, and in neighborhoods.

For 45 years, we’ve walked alongside our communities, showing up with compassion, connection, and commitment. We meet people where they are – with care that’s grounded in trust and shaped by those we serve.

Cascadia was formed when Multnomah County’s quadrant of mental health service providers merged over time (among other smaller organizations). Since the 1980s, Multnomah County’s quadrant of mental health providers has provided needed care to the community. These organizations were the North-Northeast Community Health Center, Mental Health Services West, Mt. Hood Community Mental Health Center, and Southeast Mental Health Network.

In the early 2000s, Mt. Hood and Southeast merged, introducing the name Cascadia. A year later, West and North-Northeast (which had previously merged to form an organization called Unity) also joined Cascadia.

As both a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) and Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike (FQHC-LAL), Cascadia Health believes that an integrated approach to care is the best way to serve our community. This includes providing integrated mental health, addiction treatment, primary care, crisis intervention, peer wellness, skills training, housing support, and more to individuals and families, regardless of their ability to pay.

In achieving and maintaining CCBHC and FQHC Look-Alike status, Cascadia has access to necessary supports to continue and expand needed services, especially to individuals living with serious mental illness.
