Donnie Conn

September Employee of the Month

Please join the us in congratulating Donnie Conn as the September employee of the month. 

Donnie joined Waterfall back in February of 2018 and has been a key example of living out our mission every day.  Not only does he provide many, many skills to the clinic that used to require us to outsource to contractors, I consider Donnie to be an extra member of the social health team. He is often the first to recognize a need and doesn't hesitate to go grab a pair of shoes or a tarp or a sandwich for our patients (and staff, for that matter). 

He has taken on the construction of the new playground head-on and his compassion and love for kids is evident in all he does.  Congratulations, Donnie!

Diversity

Waterfall's Diversity and Equity Statement

Waterfall Community Health Center’s mission is to promote access to quality integrated health services that meet the needs of individuals with barriers to care on the Southern Oregon Coast. We believe all individuals should be cared for with respect and dignity while recognizing that racism and discrimination within the US healthcare system are complex barriers to equitable treatment. 

Waterfall embraces a broad definition of diversity, including the recognition that diversity is not limited to gender, race, and ethnicity, but must also include age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious commitment, physical ability and other varied backgrounds and life experiences. We respect and affirm the unique identities of every community member in Coos and Curry Counties.

Waterfall fosters inclusion by extending an invitation to those who have not historically been at the decision-making table and by ensuring that all voices are heard, respected, and valued. We practice equity by considering patients’ individual circumstances when providing care and by valuing staff member’s strengths and intersecting identities.

Waterfall Community Health Center denounces discrimination for any and all reasons. Our role is to provide quality care to all individuals in every community on Oregon’s Southern Coast. In the effort to seek health equity in the care we provide, Waterfall is committed to humility, continued learning, and increasing efforts to create and sustain an inclusive and equitable environment to both provide and receive care. 

The Waterfall Clinic

We are a safety-net clinic in North Bend / Coos Bay serving the people of Coos, Curry and Douglas counties on the Southern Oregon Coast. We accept patients with Medicare, Oregon Health Plan/Medicaid, Private Insurance and patients without health insurance. We have a sliding fee scale for patients without health insurance, which is based on family size and income. The Waterfall Community Health Center is a Patient Centered Medical Home.

Waterfall Community Health Center is a Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) deemed health center, whereby it has medical malpractice liability protection through the FTCA. Under this Act, Federally-Qualified Health Centers, like Waterfall Clinic, are considered Federal employees with the Federal government acting as their primary insurer.
