Is healthcare access getting better or worse in your area?

Mosaic Community Health held a launch event for the Conners Campus at 2790 NE Conners Ave. in Bend on October 13, 2026, as the 42,000-square-foot project moves into its public fundraising phase.

Why it matters

The campus is designed as a primary hub for comprehensive health services on Bend's east side, co-located with affordable family and senior housing and public transportation. Mosaic says the facility aims to make healthcare accessible to everyone who needs it.

Mosaic has committed $36.9 million toward the $47 million project, with $4 million in secured state lottery bond funding. The campaign still needs to raise $6.1 million in community philanthropy, including the final $900,000 required for a Tykeson Family Foundation matching challenge.

The details

Board Member Kristina Arnold affixed the first exterior siding panel to the building to symbolically begin the next phase of development. Mosaic expects the facility to serve about 20,000 patients a year and to increase its Bend capacity by 50 percent, with 75 percent growth in pediatric services and 35 percent growth in pharmacy services.

Early 2026: Construction began on the Conners Campus.

Summer 2027: Mosaic plans to hold the Conners Campus grand opening.

Market Landscape

The project illustrates how Oregon community health centers combine state lottery bond funding with private philanthropy to finance major facilities. Its co-location with affordable housing and transit reflects a broader push to link health access with the other services patients need.

Bend residents on the east side will gain a consolidated site for medical, dental, behavioral and pharmacy care when the campus opens. Donors can help close the remaining $900,000 gap that unlocks the Tykeson Family Foundation match.

The takeaway

Community donations can directly unlock larger public and foundation funding, so local giving has leverage beyond the dollar amount. Residents interested in supporting access to care can watch the campaign's progress toward its final match.

What happens next

Mosaic plans to hold the Conners Campus grand opening in summer 2027, and the community fundraising effort continues toward the remaining $900,000 match.
