What does it really take to build a healthier community in Central Oregon?
In this BendBeat episode, Brian sits down with Megan Haase, CEO of Mosaic Community Health, to unpack the vital role Mosaic plays across Bend, Redmond, Prineville, Madras, and Sisters—and why their work impacts nearly one out of every eight Central Oregonians.
They explore: ⦁ What "whole-person care" actually means in practice ⦁ How Mosaic evolved from a single modular clinic to serving over 36,000 patients ⦁ Why community health centers are essential to prevention, not just crisis care ⦁ Mosaic's work with Medicaid, uninsured patients, and fixed-income families ⦁ School-based health centers and youth mental health access ⦁ Mobile and outreach medicine serving unhoused neighbors in forests and rural areas ⦁ The real consequences of losing insurance coverage and rising healthcare costs ⦁ Why affordability, access, and collaboration are the future of healthcare
This conversation offers a clear, human look at how healthcare systems either strengthen or strain a community, and why Mosaic's model matters now more than ever.
