In 2014, Orion Falvey co-founded Orchid Health, a network of clinics in Oakridge, Estacada and Blue River. Falvey says the clinics address major shortages in primary preventative medical care for rural Oregonians. In November, Falvey received the 2020 Oregon Rural Health Hero of the Year Award from the Oregon Office of Rural Health. We talk with Falvey about how Orchid Health has increased access to rural healthcare.
