Whole-Person Care Across the Lifespan

At Adventist Health Portland, your clinical practice will center around delivering compassionate, comprehensive care to patients across the lifespan—from newborns to seniors—within a thoughtfully designed, outpatient-only setting. You will work alongside a diverse and mission-driven team that embraces collaborative care, supported by advanced tools and a shared commitment to whole-person health.

You can expect to see 16 to 22 patients per day, with time-protected appointments that promote quality interactions and a focus on preventive medicine. Whether you're treating chronic conditions, providing pediatric wellness visits, or counseling patients on lifestyle changes, your work will reflect a personalized approach to healthcare in a community that deeply values its providers.

The clinic environment is both modern and efficient, equipped with the Epic EMR system and Dragon dictation software to streamline your documentation and minimize after-hours charting. You'll have dedicated support from your own Medical Assistant, and you'll work in tandem with a strong clinical team that includes experienced nurse practitioners and physician assistants. On-site services such as imaging, lab work, and digital X-rays create a seamless patient experience and allow you to focus more on care and less on logistics.

For those with specific interests, the practice allows flexibility to build niche areas such as chronic disease management, preventive care, or women's health. There's also the opportunity to serve as a preceptor or mentor, or to oversee Advanced Practice Providers, contributing to the clinic's team-based culture and talent development.
