INTRODUCING Prism Health | Morris A second Prism Health facility opening on North Morris Street in Portland, OR in 2024.
ABOUT PRISM HEALTH We aim to deliver exceptional primary care, behavioral health, and pharmacy services to those who have faced barriers to accessing quality healthcare, including Black, Indigenous, and all other People of Color; LGBTQ+ people; and all those seeking compassionate care.
WHY CHOOSE PRISM? Cascade AIDS Project (CAP) is opening its newest Prism Health integrated healthcare clinic at 15 N. Morris Street in Portland. This new location in the Eliot neighborhood of Portland will offer residents a convenient way to access Prism Health’s unique, fully integrated behavioral health and primary care experience. Our providers specialize in gender-affirming care, substance use disorder treatment, and HIV care. Prism Health provides quality care to all people regardless of insurance status or income level.
The 15 N. Morris Street building has a rich legacy. It is there that Dr. Walter Reynolds, the first Black graduate of the University of Oregon Medical School (now Oregon Health & Science University), served the Black and African American community in the historically Black Eliot neighborhood. Later, the Native American Rehabilitation Association of the Northwest (NARA) opened their integrated health clinic in the building. We are committed to honoring the legacy of those that have come before us by providing exceptional healthcare services to Black, Indigenous, and all other People of Color, in addition to LGBTQ+ people and those who have intersectional identities. By choosing Prism Health, you are helping advance compassionate, whole-person care to cultivate a healthier, more vibrant community!

A message from Principal Kaveh (kpaksere@pps.net) of Boise-Eliot/Humboldt elementary:
Our first opportunity for families of incoming kindergarten students for next year to come and learn more about what Kindergarten looks like at BEH is this Thursday at 5:30 pm. If you know families that will be or are considering coming to BEH for kindergarten, let them know to come by. Additionally, we will have two more of these opportunities in May and August. I am also always open to catching families when it works for them as well, so feel free to have them reach out to the school directly if they want to schedule a time to come and connect this spring.
