Join Orchid Health

Interested in helping grow a healthcare model based on trusting relationships, joy in work, and health equity? Orchid Health might be just the place for you!

Orchid Health was founded over 10 years ago with the belief that the most effective way to improve the health of our communities is through integrated patient-centered care that takes the time to listen to and build trusting relationships with each patient. We currently see thousands of patients at our Oregon clinic locations, all supported by a talented, passionate, and dedicated staff.

Our mission is to advance a new model for community health to thrive based on relationships, joy in work, and health equity. We achieve this by leaning into our four pillars and core values:

Core Values:

• Challenge the Status Quo
• Cultivate Respect
• Courageously Vulnerable and Accountable

Four Pillars (in order of priority):

• Pillar 1: Employee Well-Being
• Pillar 2: Trusting Patient Relationships
• Pillar 3: Community Health
• Pillar 4: Financial Sustainability

Why work for Orchid Health?

At Orchid Health, we're moving away from traditional top-down management to something more human: self-management. Our teams work together to make most day-to-day decisions, without a clinic manager giving direction. Instead, team members take on shared responsibilities based on their strengths, hold each other accountable, and are supported by peers, coaches, and access to clear, timely information. This structure reduces bureaucracy, supports collaboration, and makes work more meaningful. We believe that the people doing the work are best positioned to lead it, and we've built our organization around that belief. Orchid's team members have abundant opportunities to expand their professional skills in a supportive environment, participate in community outreach efforts, and enjoy a robust benefits package.
