Estacada, Oregon, October 29, 2026, Orchid Health's Wade Creek Clinic has achieved Tier 5 verification, the highest recognition tier in the Oregon Health Authority's Patient-Centered Primary Care Home (PCPCH) program. The clinic also earned the OHA's Health Equity designation, a separate recognition available to qualifying PCPCH practices.
Wade Creek Clinic, which provides primary care services to children and adults in Estacada, has been recognized for its commitment to delivering comprehensive and patient-centered care. The PCPCH program establishes standards for how primary care practices organize and deliver care, covering areas such as access, accountability, comprehensive services, continuity, coordination, and patient- and family-centered care. Practices receive recognition based on the program standards they meet, including required measures and additional measures that determine their tier.
The Health Equity designation is a separate recognition available to qualifying PCPCH practices at any tier. Under OHA's current standards, clinics must meet at least 15 of 20 equity-focused measures and undergo verification. These measures address areas such as language access, health-related social needs, and patients' experiences of care.
Orion Falvey, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Orchid Health, expressed pride in the clinic's achievements.
