Samar itan F oundations

samhealt h.or g/Giving

Build community for patients with complex
health needs, including unhoused patients,
through the Care Hub. A team of social workers,
community health workers and home transition nurses
coordinate services for vulnerable patients in Linn, Ben-

ton and Lincoln counties to reduce medical and social
barriers to care. This innovative model of care supports
health equity and encourages alignment with Samar-
itan and community partners to address risk factors
associated with poor health outcomes and
connect at-risk individuals to the services they need. Examples include emergency
supplies for safe discharge, chronic condition management, assistance with housing
(respite and recuperative care, as well as long-term housing solutions), and remote
patient monitoring.

Improve access to care for people who suf-
fer from substance use disorder (SUD) at
Samaritan Treatment and Recovery Services.
Construction is underway for the Coastal Samaritan
Treatment and Recovery Services facility, the first resi-
dential and outpatient recovery center in Lincoln County.
With Oregon facing the nation’s second highest SUD
rate, it’s alarming that the state ranks dead last in terms of

access to treatment programs. This situation leaves those
determined to make positive changes with few alterna-
tives if they can get into residential treatment, compelling them to travel hours away from
loved ones. These additional hurdles on their path to recovery make it too difficult for
some to overcome. This new facility, located in Newport, aims to provide a supportive
environment close to home for 200 residential patients and 600 outpatients annually.
Generous supporters have helped to raise $10.2 million already, leaving just $1.3 million
more to complete the project. The critical funding being sought will go towards property

renovation, construction, furniture and equipment for the recovery center that is scheduled
to begin serving patients in late summer, 2024. You can help complete the project and
clear the path for individuals to access the care they need close to home.
