Making the news in Portland, Oregon
Landmark was featured in two stories today in our Portland, OR market.
Both talk about the growing demand for home-based medical care, or house calls. Our current healthcare system cannot keep up with the demands of our most complex patients, those with multiple chronic health conditions. Take a look at the stories below to learn more.

Article: Local seniors get in-home care from Landmark Health
This article in The Times (serving Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood), discusses the benefits of high-touch medical care for patients where they reside and when they need it. Whether Landmark patients are in a living facility or home, our providers bring medical care, along with social and behavioral care, to them, even urgent visits. This care can help prevent avoidable visits to the ER or urgent care, as discussed in the article. Read the story.
