North by Northeast Community Health Center

Mission

North by Northeast Community Health Center is the first and only independent medical clinic in Oregon devoted to African American/Black health. We exist to improve health outcomes and advance health equity by offering primary care services and health education and promotion focused on the African American/Black community.

Bottom Line

For 20 years we have championed health equity by providing culturally-specific, responsive and high quality healthcare for our community. Our work matters to Portland because Black Portlanders and their health matter. Despite decades of healthcare transformation in Oregon, including the expansion of Medicaid, our Black neighbors still face racism, discrimination, and untrustworthy practices when seeking healthcare. When Black adults walk through our doors, they know immediately that our organization is for them, from the makeup of our staff to the artwork on our walls and music we play, to the events we show up at in the community. 

Quote

Everyone at North by Northeast goes out of their way to make sure I’m taken care of. They treat me with respect and explain things in terms I can understand. And they care about the whole person, like handing out food boxes and laptops. Now that I’ve been here, I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
