Community Benefit

Adventist Health’s mission statement of Living God’s love by inspiring health, wholeness and hope is coupled with a vision to transform the health experience of our communities through collaborative programs, community investments and community outreach. We are inspired by the healing ministry as represented by the life of Jesus Christ and believe we are called to live out our mission intentionally in the communities we serve. In the small towns, suburbs and inner cities we serve, we continue our journey to provide quality health care until every person made in God’s image has experienced the best health today, hope for tomorrow, and God’s love that endures forever.

Healthy Columbia Willamette Collaborative

Our Adventist Health Portland community well-being team is part of the Healthy Columbia Willamette Collaborative, a unique public-private partnership of 12 organizations in Clark, Washington, Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties. The collaborative is dedicated to advancing health equity in the quad-county region through collaborative health improvement plans and activities that leverage collective resource.
