Downtown Compassion is focused on offering free health care and other service resources to the uninsured, underinsured and homeless community of Portland.
It is our mission to bring healing and transformation though compassionate service to the community. We believe that we are able to address the needs of the whole person and work to build lasting relationships with our guests attending the clinic through genuinely reflecting the love of God to those whom we serve - our guests and our community.
The Downtown Compassion clinic has been made possible by the generosity of the local churches, volunteers, social service organizations, and community organizations all of which donate their time, resources, and professional skills and talents.
