Mission: Established in 1972, the charitable mission of rogue community health is to promote the health of low income, working uninsured, and other vulnerable children and adults in jackson county, oregon.
Programs: Rogue community health fulfills its mission by providing core services that consist of a sliding-fee-schedule, patient-centered primary, preventative, and prenatal health care, and by offering such complementary services such as integrated mental health care, preventative dental services, and prescription medication assistance. The services of rogue community health are made available at practice locations in ashland, medford, white city, butte falls, and through school and community based activity sites. Services are provided for all individuals and families with a focus on care for vulnerable persons who live at or below 200% of the federal poverty level who are uninsured and underinsured, and to persons who experience geographic, linguistic, and cultural barriers to care. Rogue community health is uniquely situated to leverage a wide array of community resources, and annually receives donated medical laboratory and radiologic services from the community's two largest hospitals, as well as in-kind and voluntary services of 250 community physicians who practice in medical specialty areas and agree to accept the agency's referrals at no direct cost to the patient. No fewer than 14 physician volunteers regularly staff monthly (or more frequent) medical specialty clinics at rogue community health's facilities. In the current year, 10,705 individuals benefited from 33,284 face-to-face visits.
