Mosaic Medical is grateful to partner with Jefferson County Public Health to expand our care and ensure that the most vulnerable individuals can continue to access essential health services, regardless of their current life circumstances.
A Shared Health and Wellness Campus
Jefferson County Public Health and Mosaic Medical will share a new building next to the St. Charles Medical Center in Madras.

About Mosaic: Working for a Healthy Future for ALL
Many of us take our health for granted or have confidence that we can access the healthcare we need if necessary. But for far too many in our community, this basic resource is not guaranteed.
Mosaic began in 2002 after a Prineville family without health insurance lost their infant to a preventable disease. They were unable to get their child the care they needed early on and by the time they made it to the hospital, it was too late. We never want this to happen again, so Mosaic intends to always:
- Meet our patients where they are, and partner with them on their path to optimal heath
- Prioritize cultural humility and equity in our care
- Provide our patients with innovative ways to connect with us and meet their needs
- Think outside the walls of traditional healthcare systems to support the overall well-being of our patients
“At present Mosaic Medical is one of the most effective and efficient social service and health service organizations in Central Oregon and their ability to go to where people are in need of service is one of their outstanding advantages.” - Respondent to recent community partner survey
Help Us Care for Our Community
In order to transform the healthcare landscape in Central Oregon – we need your help.
Just as we did nearly 20 years ago when Mosaic was founded, our communities must rally together to ensure that the most vulnerable individuals can continue to access care, regardless of their current life circumstances.
Please join us in building this new Madras Health Center which will provide a welcoming health home to those who need it most.
There are many opportunities to get involved. For more information, please contact Emily Boynton, Senior Development Officer at emily.boynton@mosaicmedical.org.
