Big Pinkie is Coming to Life!

We’re renovating the old Sis-Q Motel in Medford to expand our capacity to serve the community. Inside our team, we call it “Big Pinkie” for its unique exterior color.

Since we’re making some noise with this transformation, it felt fitting to mention another famous Big Pink—the one that inspired The Band’s debut album Music From Big Pink, a classic that made its own kind of beautiful noise.

We believe our Big Pinkie will make a different kind of music—one of hope, healing, and second chances—thanks to our incredible team and the new Emergency Lodging this building will provide for those at risk.

Yesterday, members of our Board of Directors joined us for a special walk-through of the Cobblestone Village construction site—soon to become our Family Treatment Campus, a one-of-a-kind space dedicated to healing, hope, and keeping families together through recovery.

We’re so grateful to the board members who took the time to tour the site and see firsthand the transformation in progress. Your commitment to our mission and to the families we serve is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when leadership and compassion come together.

Thank you for believing in this vision—and for championing the future of behavioral health and recovery in our community. 💚

Saborear y Sanar: Un Encuentro entre Líderes Latinos

Anoche compartimos un espacio verdaderamente significativo junto a líderes latinos de nuestra comunidad. No fue una reunión de trabajo, sino un momento para hacer una pausa, reconectarnos y compartir desde el corazón. ❤️

Gracias a todas las personas que nos acompañaron y reflexionaron sobre lo que está funcionando en nuestras organizaciones y comunidades, los cambios que estamos viviendo, y cómo podemos seguir apoyándonos mutuamente. Estos espacios fortalecen nuestro liderazgo y nuestra voz colectiva.

Un agradecimiento muy especial a Nancy Castillo McKinnis de The Ford Family Foundation, Salvador Amezola de Bestcare Latino Services, y Josh Guerrero de OnTrack Rogue Valley por hacer posible este encuentro. Y muchas gracias a Oregon Community Foundation por brindarnos un espacio cálido y acogedor. Su liderazgo y apoyo crearon un ambiente significativo de conexión y sanación.

Summer vibes + serious fun = a perfect staff celebration! 🎉

Last Wednesday, our amazing team came together at Twin Creeks Park in Central Point for our All Staff Summer Event—and let’s just say, the competition was fierce and the laughter was LOUD! 😄

From tic-tac-toe showdowns and flying chickens 🐔 to giant Connect 4 battles and bouncy ball chaos—we brought our A-game and our appetite for some seriously delicious food!

It was a day filled with sunshine, connection, and a reminder of how lucky we are to work alongside such incredible people. 💚

OnTrack Strengthens the Continuum of Care With New Sis-Q Emergency Lodging

At OnTrack Rogue Valley, we believe that creating opportunities for recovery starts by meeting people where they are—and providing a safe place to heal.

We’re proud to announce the transformation of the former Sis-Q Motel into our newest Emergency Lodging facility. This site will offer 12 private bedrooms, ADA accessibility, and on-site case management and peer support, helping individuals stabilize while they wait for treatment.

Renovations are currently underway, and we expect the site to open by late fall 2025.

Why this matters:
✅ 67% of guests in our Emergency Lodging programs have successfully transitioned into treatment
✅ 250–300 individuals expected to be served annually at the Sis-Q site
✅ Partnerships with Jackson County Oregon USA and Jackson Care Connect are making this vision a reality

This Emergency Lodging site is more than a place to stay. It’s a vital part of OnTrack’s full continuum of care, providing individuals with the stability and support they need to break the cycle of substance use and homelessness.

Together, we’re bridging gaps, renewing hope, and strengthening the path to recovery.💙
