TILLAMOOK COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS CELEBRATES NATIONAL HEALTH
CENTER WEEK AND 30 YEARS AS FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER

TILLAMOOK, Ore. — The 2025 National Health Center Week (August 3-9) theme of celebrating the past, present and future aligns perfectly as the Tillamook County Community Health Centers celebrates nearly a century of providing healthcare services to the community including 30 years as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC).

The Tillamook County Health Department, known as the Tillamook County Community Health Centers (TCCHC), received the FQHC designation in 1995. As an FQHC, TCCHC is selected by the federal government to receive special funding to provide comprehensive, high-quality, accessible care including medical, behavioral, and dental health, to anyone who needs it regardless of ability to pay.

The Tillamook County Community Health Centers is both a Federally Qualified Health Center and the Health and Human Services Department for Tillamook County providing integrated clinical and public health services as the Local Public Health Authority.

While services have expanded significantly since the 1980s, there is a much more extensive history dating back to the early 1900s. See a historical timeline infographic here and learn more about the history and progress of the Tillamook County Community Health Centers here.

From our humble beginnings in the county courthouse basement to a modern network of clinics and services including six primary health care providers, eight dental professionals, five behavioral health providers, and traditional public health services, the Tillamook County Community Health Centers strives to promote and protect the health of all people in Tillamook County.
