About your visit

To help protect patients, visitors, and staff, NHC has established a maximum capacity for each of our clinic lobbies. Signs will be posted in each clinic lobby stating the maximum capacity for that location. If maximum capacity is reached, you may be asked to wait outside or in your car. The receptionist will ask for your phone number and call or text you when your provider is ready to see you.

If you are experiencing respiratory symptoms or have questions about your appointment, please call 503-848-5861 to speak with a member of our care team.

Oregon is currently under a travel advisory that urges visitors entering Oregon and residents returning from out of state travel to self-quarantine for 14 days.

If you have recently traveled outside of Oregon and need to move your scheduled appointment to comply with this advisory, please contact our clinic to reschedule.

How can I stay healthy?

COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person. It’s important to remember that some people without symptoms may be able to spread the virus. Here are steps you can take to prevent spread of the coronavirus:

• Wear a mask or face covering, when you are in public settings. Masks should not be placed on young children under the age of 2, or anyone who has trouble breathing or is otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
• Put 6 feet of distance between you and others, who don’t live in your household.
• Wash hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home while you are sick and avoid close contact with others.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or sleeve when coughing or sneezing.
