Douglas County residents and visitors are invited to save the date for a special evening of connection, community, and celebration!

The 3rd Annual Longest Table will take place on September 13, 2026, bringing together neighbors, family, and friends to celebrate our collective community spirit.

The location is nearly confirmed, so stay tuned for more details!

Last year’s event sponsor was Umpqua Health. Here is what they had to say last year:

“At Umpqua Health Alliance, we believe in the power of community and connection. The Longest Table event in Douglas County exemplifies this spirit, bringing together diverse voices and fostering unity around a shared table. It is moments like these that remind us of the strength we gain from coming together and the collective impact we can make.”– Nancy Rickenbach, COO of Umpqua Health Alliance.

Talk to a nurse anytime. ☎️

The 24/7 Nurse Hotline connects you with a registered nurse who can answer questions about symptoms, medications, and next steps.

This can help you decide if you need care now or if it can wait.

Fresh food access and nutrition can play an important role in overall health and chronic disease management.

Thank you to Thrive Umpqua for sharing more about the VeggieRx program and its work connecting community members with fresh produce and local resources across Douglas County.

Surrounded by fresh produce and healthy options at the Umpqua Valley Farmer’s Market, we are reminded how true it is that food is medicine!

In fact, hundreds of participants have expressed benefits of VeggieRx, a simple and effective program that connects the medical system and the food sector. By creating a relationship between clinic staff, their patients, local farmers and family-owned stores, Thrive Umpqua is making the healthy choice the easy choice.

The VeggieRx program is designed to address food insecurity and chronic illness by increasing the accessibility to, and consumption of, fresh fruits and vegetables. The program empowers health care providers to ‘prescribe’ produce to community members who screen positive for food insecurity and/or chronic illness.

Participants then ‘fill’ their prescriptions at participating sites, coming home with more fresh produce to supplement their diet.

If you have any questions about this growing program, feel free to reach out to [email protected]
