The new Fernhill Health Center in NE Portland is officially open to the community!
Co-located within Portland Community College’s new Opportunity Center at 42nd Ave, the clinic was designed in collaboration with local citizens to reflect the values, voices, and priorities of the community. From its use of mass timber to its soft, welcoming forms and calming Northwest-inspired color palette, the space was envisioned as a healthy, supportive environment—especially for those who have experienced trauma or adversity.
“Fernhill is a testimony to our ability to dream together alongside and with the Cully neighborhood for a healthier, brighter future,” said Susheela Jayapal, Multnomah County Commissioner.
