Heat-related illness can happen inside or outside in as little as 10 to 15 minutes.

It’s important to know the difference between heat exhaustion, which is treatable by finding a cooler location and drinking water, and heat stroke, which requires a call to 911 for emergency medical attention.

We’re so glad to officially introduce new staff member, Kayte, RN 💛
Kayte brings experience in allergy care, mental health, and family birth to her role on staff at Clackamas Free Clinic, along with a deep belief in service and compassion. Having received support during a pivotal time in her own life, she’s motivated by a desire to give back and uplift others.

We're excited about partnering with CCC's nursing students on this vaccine initiative!
Please consider a making a gift at https://give.clackamas.edu/vaccines

The CCC nursing program — in partnership with Clackamas Free Clinic - Volunteers in Medicine — is raising funds to host a FREE community flu vaccine clinic in October 2026. This clinic will offer hands-on experience for our students while expanding access to preventative care for the community.

To provide this service, they need to raise $3,000 by June in order to purchase the vaccines.

A donation of $20 provides one shot, and $100 donation provides five. We invite you to help support our nursing students, and the health of our community by donating!

Did you know March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month? Screening for colorectal cancer is recommended annually for adults 45+.

If you are above the age of 45, uninsured or underinsured, and are due for a screening for colorectal cancer, give us a call at 503-722-4400 to schedule an appointment with one of our volunteer providers and get a screening test you can do at home.

When should you get screened for colorectal cancer? If you are 45 or older, talk with your healthcare provider about getting screened.

Some people may need screening or other tests if they are having symptoms of colorectal cancer. If you have any of these symptoms, talk with your doctor or healthcare provider right away. If you don’t have a provider, call 211 for assistance.
