About Care Partners
Care Partners provides exceptional care,
without exception
Our focus has always been on exceptional patient care. We want your loved one to feel comfortable and you to feel confident giving and receiving care during this important time.
-
We’ve been in operation since 1982, so we have the experience of helping thousands of individuals and families dealing with all types of serious illness diagnoses. Our Medical Director Gerald Gibbs, M.D. has been with us since then, managing a cancer treatment practice as well as caring for our patients.
-
Our employees consistently recognize us as one of the 100 best nonprofits to work for in Oregon. Knowing the importance we put on exceptional care makes them feel good about their work, so we benefit from one of the lowest staff turnover rates in our field.
-
We have deeply engaged volunteers who support us with over 2,000 hours every year. Whether out visiting families or helping in the office, their time makes life better for everyone on our service.
-
We also have interns from a variety of health disciplines working with us for up to a year. Their projects, like comparing the benefits of new medications, keep us up to date on the latest while they learn about the special needs of our population.
-
We collaborate with immigrant community organizations to build awareness of our services and help individuals in need – not just with medical care, but also with housing, food and other necessities.
