What Is Colorectal Cancer?

  • Colorectal Cancer, or CRC, is cancer of the large intestine and/or rectum. 
  • It is the second deadliest type of cancer in the United States.
  • It can impact anyone, but there are things you can do to help prevent it.
  • Early detection is an extremely important factor in treatment success for this disease.
  • Screening is recommended to begin at age 45.

How Do I Get Screened?

  • Talk to your provider about the best screening options for you.
  • Some options include stool sample testing (such as the FIT Kit) or colonoscopy.

March Employee of the Month

Please join us in congratulating Isaac Moore as our March Employee of the month.  

Isaac has been one of our resident experts in Suicide Prevention since he arrived and has expanded training and support groups for our community struggling in the wake of suicides in our community. He recently received certification as an ASIST trainer, which is a highly comprehensive version of suicide prevention training. One of Isaac's coworkers states, "Besides providing great care to his patients, Isaac is one of the first people to check in with staff to see how they are personally doing as well." 

Thanks, Isaac for being a great clinician and an attentive coworker who regularly goes above and beyond to meet our mission!

Tony Crane Highlight

Board Member Highlight!

Tony Crane joined the Waterfall Board of Directors at the end of 2020. He got associated with Waterfall because he was actually a patient here first. Tony worked in insurance and financial services, and then owned a small grocery store.

He loves the ocean and beaches, the river and lakes, the mountains and camping, photography, and bird watching. Tony’s wife is a teacher and serves on the state board of OEA, and is also very involved with the immunization clinics that Waterfall does in partnership with Coos Bay Schools. 

They love to garden and spend time outdoors with family.

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.
