North by Northeast Community Health Center

North by Northeast Community Health Center North by Northeast Community Health Center is an organization that was created in response to Hurricane Katrina.

A pastor and a Jewish doctor began a clinic that was rooted in partnership based in faith, friendship, and a passion for community service. African American residents of Multnomah County suffer from health disparities which place them and their families at risk. When high blood pressure and diabetes are left untreated, complications such as heart disease and stroke can devastate families and cause a downward economic spiral. We believe these health inequities can - and must - be eliminated. North by Northeast is a safe and welcoming place, one where people find medical care that meets their needs in a culturally respectful way.

Did you know that 1 in 3 Black blood donors can help people with sickle cell disease? Sickle cell is the most common inherited blood disease in the U.S. and mostly affects people of African descent. Many patients need regular blood transfusions to prevent pain, strokes, and organ damage. Because Black donors often have rare blood types that match better, their donations are very important to help save and improve lives.

While NxNE won't be there, we would like to share this event with you all!

This carnival-style event will have many kid projects, games, and prizes that will keep the children entertained. At the same time, adults will also enjoy themselves by participating in a Healthy Living Symposium panel, food demonstrations, blood pressure checks, and much more! We'll be there, rain or shine!

We are excited to share a new initiative our incredible Master Recyclers are working on right now. Over the past few months, Alberta Street has seen an increase in graffiti tagging on buildings, and with a passion for our community, our amazing Master Recyclers are stepping up to help! They are going around the neighborhood to paint over graffiti and help us keep our neighborhood looking great.

If you are a business on Alberta between Martin Luther King Blvd and 15th Avenue, we would love to offer support in cleaning up graffiti on your building. If you're interested in this free assistance, please contact us at graffiti@nxneclinic.org.

Our impact not only happens within the clinic walls, but also in our parking lot! This summer, we handed out over 400 boxes of fresh produce to patients and community members, thanks to our partners Mudbone and CareOregon, along with our dedicated Patient Wellness Council members.

Also, don't forget we have a sharps disposal box in our parking lot too! Many community members and patients stop by daily to safely dispose of their sharps, and we encourage you to do the same!

Our Story

We are the only medical clinic in Oregon devoted to African American health. Why is this so important to us? African American residents of Multnomah County suffer from health disparities which place them and their families at risk. When high blood pressure and diabetes are left untreated, complications such as heart disease and stroke can devastate families and cause a downward economic spiral. We believe these health inequities can - and must - be eliminated. North by Northeast is a safe and welcoming place, one where people find medical care that meets their needs in a culturally respectful way.
