Welches, OR – Orchid Health is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its new Hoodland Clinic in Welches, set to officially open its doors on October 15, 2024. To celebrate this milestone, Orchid Health will host an open house on November 7, 2024, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, inviting the community to explore the new facility, meet the team, and learn more about the comprehensive healthcare services available at the clinic.
In addition to the clinic’s opening, Orchid Health proudly welcomes Dr. Douglas Lyon, MD, a family physician and epidemiologist, to the Hoodland team. A long-time resident of the area with a cabin in the community for nearly three decades, Dr. Lyon brings a deep understanding of local needs along with his extensive medical expertise.
Dr. Lyon’s career spans over 25 years of experience working both locally and internationally with organizations such as Doctors Without Borders, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, WHO, and the UN High Commission for Refugees.
“We are at our best when we are able to provide consistent long-term care beyond the presenting problem; where we are able to provide care to the whole patient, care to their family, and care for the community,” said Dr. Lyon. “Joining Orchid Health is an exciting opportunity to connect with my neighbors and provide the kind of compassionate, relationship-based care that makes a real difference.”
Orchid Health’s Hoodland Clinic will offer a range of services, including primary care, same-day appointments, chronic disease management, behavioral health, pediatrics, and wellness visits, all delivered with a focus on building strong patient-provider relationships.
The open house on November 7th will provide an opportunity for community members to tour the clinic, meet Dr. Lyon and the rest of the Hoodland team, and learn more about the patient-centered approach that defines Orchid Health. Attendees will enjoy light refreshments and can enter raffles for prizes.
Orchid Health is committed to revolutionizing healthcare in rural communities by ensuring accessible, high-quality, and compassionate care for all. The Hoodland Clinic is the latest addition to the Orchid Health family, which now includes locations across Estacada, Oakridge, McKenzie River, Sandy, and Elmira.
