News Briefs: We've Added an East Side Office!
What's new at The Portland Clinic.
Introducing The Portland Clinic - Columbia!
On May 1, Columbia Family Medical Associates, an independent, physician owned organization in practice for more than 20 years, joined The Portland Clinic as our fifth office, and our first on the east side. Newly named as The Portland Clinic - Columbia, the office is located at NE 122nd and Airport Way.
The collaboration will allow the team at Columbia to expand services to their existing patients, while also allowing The Portland Clinic to offer more convenient access to patients on Portland's east side. "The location and loyal following of Columbia Family Medical Associates, paired with multispecialty expertise and strong technical support from The Portland Clinic, makes sense for our mutual patients," says Mike Schwab, CEO for The Portland Clinic.
All four health care providers from Columbia will continue to serve patients in the new collaborative practice. We are pleased to introduce them:
