The Dalles healthcare
A 49-bed local hospital, community clinic, five pharmacies, and 30 selected specialists support a practical care network
The prepared catalog lists one nearby major hospital, five pharmacies, and 30 selected Medicare specialists. The hospital entry uses Mid-Columbia Medical Center and lists 49 beds, Level III trauma, and one mile; Oregon Health Authority identifies the current name as Adventist Health Columbia Gorge. One Community Health lists a The Dalles clinic with primary care, pharmacy, behavioral health, dental care, fitness programs, diabetes care, and an express clinic. The prepared fields provide a much stronger local starting point than a city with no mapped hospital, but the exact provider relationship still needs confirmation.
Call Adventist Health Columbia Gorge, One Community Health, all five pharmacy options, selected specialists, insurers, rehabilitation, behavioral health, home support, and Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue. Ask about new patients, referrals, Medicare participation, prescription supply, imaging, surgery, oncology, cardiology, orthopedics, urology, therapy, home health, appointment timing, parking, ambulance destinations, and services that require travel outside The Dalles.

The Dalles in everyday life
Could The Dalles work for you?
What may work well
- Adventist Health Columbia Gorge is a prepared one-mile, 49-bed hospital entry, while One Community Health adds primary care, pharmacy, behavioral health, dental, fitness, diabetes, and express-clinic services.
- Five pharmacies and 30 selected specialists give prospective residents a concrete list of calls before moving.
What to think about
- The older hospital label in the prepared entry needs to be reconciled with Oregon Health Authority's current Adventist Health Columbia Gorge name.
- A hospital, pharmacy, or specialist count does not answer appointment access, clinician fit, coverage, capacity, prescription supply, or travel for a particular service.
- Heat, smoke, wind, ice, traffic, road grade, parking, and family support can matter as much as the facility names.
