Central City Concern

Central City Concern is a Portland, Oregon-based nonprofit organization that integrates healthcare, substance use recovery services, mental health care, supportive housing, pharmacy, and employment services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Founded in 1979, the organization operates a community-based, whole-person care model that combines primary care, addiction treatment, behavioral health, and housing support. Its healthcare services include primary care, on-site pharmacy, medication-supported addiction treatment including Suboxone, mental health services, acupuncture, Hepatitis C testing and treatment, and recuperative care. Unlike a biotech or pharmaceutical developer, Central City Concern is a service-delivery organization rather than a drug discovery company, with its offerings already in active community use. The organization appears to be active and mission-driven, focused on homelessness, recovery, and population health in the Portland metro area.
