New Health Ctr. Planned For MVHS

BEND, OR -- Mosaic Medical plans to develop a new School-Based Health Center (SBHC) at Mountain View High in Bend. Mosaic manages five other SBHCs in Central Oregon: Bend High, Madras High, Redmond High, Lynch Elementary in Redmond and Crook County Kids Clinic in Prineville. Centers provide physical, behavioral and preventive healthcare for anyone 18 or younger, regardless of ability to pay. Almost 30% of MVHS qualify for reduced lunch and the Oregon Health Plan. 

Much of the money for the project comes from donations from Bend Foundation, Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation and First Interstate Bank. Mosaic officials say the nonprofit health system is less than $100,000 away from the $200,000 fundraising goal.  

The MVHS health center is expected to open in spring, through a partnership with Bend-La Pine Schools and Deschutes County Health Services.
