Healthy Living Community

Our Mission is to provide community driven healthcare that is affirming, integrative, and accessible.

Our Vision is a future of healthcare where everyone has access to the resources, knowledge, and support needed for their health and wellbeing. At Healthy Living Family Medicine, our mission is to help promote wellness in our patients and their families. Our belief is that your body has a natural ability to create and sustain health. We provide patient centered care that benefits the entire person. We want to find the root cause of symptoms, not only to alleviate them. We work with our patients to come up with a plan that is both realistic and effective. Thus, our patient care integrates medications with diet and exercise, as well as referrals to massage, acupuncture, naturopathic medicine and various other modalities. Our goal is to do this in a compassionate, cost-effective, and earth friendly manner.

We have some exciting news…
HLC launched a Satellite Clinic at .sisters !

We’re thrilled to share a big step forward in offering more community-based and accessible care: Healthy Living Community is partnering with Rahab’s Sisters, a day shelter and community center in East Portland that has long provided a safer, welcoming space for women and gender-diverse individuals navigating houselessness, poverty, addiction, and survival work. We are bringing affirming primary care and urgent care directly to this beloved community to enhance accessible healthcare.

Each Thursday, Health Days at Rahab’s Sisters will be staffed by Dr. Ermac and Maya from HLC, Rahab’s Sisters peer health navigators, and bodywork/cosmetology services from Bridging Gaps. This model centers healthcare in a trusted space, where hospitality, connection, and critical services meet.

If you or someone you know is needing support with housing resources, food access, and various wrap-around services please check out some of Rahab’s Sisters services! They are beyond amazing.

We partner with a lovely local family farm, who offers us some amazing boxes of veggies throughout the year. Our members get to grab some delicious food before or after their visits. We went to their farm the other day and it was incredible to see all of the labor of love they put into their land -- no pesticides or herbicides, just a whole lot of knowledge and intentional planting.

Visit this lovely farm table and meet J***y and Alyssa at the on Saturday morning to get even more goodies and tell them Healthy Living Community said hi!
