McKenzie River Clinic

McKenzie River Clinic is a rural primary care clinic in Blue River, Oregon that provides community-based healthcare services including prevention and wellness, assessment and treatment of acute and chronic conditions, immunizations, diagnostic testing, and behavioral health support. The clinic has historical roots as a nonprofit community clinic founded in 1977 and described as Oregon’s first Rural Health Clinic. Since 2019, the medical practice has been operated by Orchid Health, while the underlying community nonprofit changed its name to McKenzie Valley Wellness. After the original clinic was destroyed in the September 7, 2020 Holiday Farm Fire, a rebuilt clinic reopened on its original site in October 2024. The clinic serves a rural patient population and operates as a local care delivery site rather than a drug-development biotech or pharmaceutical company.
