Since opening a year ago, Cascade Health Solutions has helped hundreds of individuals and families gain access to affordable primary health care, preventative services and mental health services. Recently, the nonprofit Primary Care Clinic began to focus on helping employers provide this benefit to their employees.

“When you have asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure or other chronic health conditions, you need regular check-ups,” says Carol Crocker, family nurse practitioner at Cascade Health Solutions Primary Care Clinic. “When you treat the symptoms of these types of conditions, you’ll find that people miss less work, are more productive, and much happier on the job.”

This low-cost primary health care option fills a gap for employees who don’t have health insurance but earn too much to qualify for other low-cost health care programs. The cost is $40 to 45 per month, with a $20 fee per office visit. Another 12 months of age or older may be covered, if the individual is not eligible for or covered by Medicare. Employers can call (541) 228-3123 to learn more about this affordable solution to providing health care for employees.
