🏕️🌲 Learning, Connection & Community in the Great Outdoors! 🌲🏕️

Our rural residency team recently gathered for a memorable retreat at Klamath Outdoor School, nestled along the beautiful Wood River, just down the road from Crater Lake National Park! 🌿⛰️

Beyond the camping, fresh air, and stunning surroundings, our retreat provided meaningful opportunities for learning, reflection, and strengthening our team.

📚 We were honored to learn from Perry Chocktoot, Klamath Tribal member and former Director of Culture and Heritage for the Klamath Tribes, who led an important discussion on the Klamath Termination Act of 1954. His insights provided valuable historical and cultural context, deepening our understanding of the region and the Indigenous communities we serve.

🤝 Between educational workshops, team-building activities, and time spent connecting around camp, we strengthened relationships, shared experiences, and celebrated what makes our residency community special.

At the heart of rural family medicine is a commitment to lifelong learning, collaboration, and the communities we serve. Retreats like these remind us that becoming better physicians also means becoming better teammates, listeners, and community partners. ❤️

Grateful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and connect in such a beautiful place!

🌎✨ Learning, connecting, and bringing it home.

Last week, a small group from our team had the incredible opportunity to attend the 22nd Annual International Street Medicine Symposium (ISMS) in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. 🇨🇦

ISMS is the world’s largest educational gathering dedicated to the health and well-being of people experiencing homelessness, including those who are unsheltered and sleeping rough. We were honored to connect with street medicine teams from around the world, build relationships both near and far, and strengthen the framework of our own street and mobile health programs.

We’re excited to bring what we learned back to our home community and continue building innovative, compassionate ways to meet people where they are. ❤️

A special thank you to the incredible folks at North End Community Health Centre for sharing their work with us and welcoming us into their community. We also loved learning about the rich history and culture of this beautiful Atlantic province.

We love our mountains, lakes, and wilderness back home—but it was pretty special to spend a few days on the coast, watching the surf roll in and maple leaves drift into the next season. 🍁🌊

Until next year, ISMS! ✈️❤️

Officially saying goodbye to summertime! Photos from a beloved community tradition: Third Thursday. A FREE street festival held during the summer months in Klamath Falls. A place to enjoy sweet treats, to see live music and dancing, to gaze at original artwork, and to bask in warm evenings with beautiful sunsets; and of course to spend time with friends! See you next summer! ☀️👋😎

International Wilderness Life Support 🌲
An annual elective course that introduces medical professionals to the basic frameworks of providing care in remote settings - at least 60 minutes from definitive care.

This past week, participants from across Oregon, and from all avenues of healthcare, came together to engage in the learning! Activities ranged from skills such as knot tying, to scenario-based learning centered on triage | stabilization | rescue.

Additional highlights included the long-held tradition of floating the Wood River 🛶 AND celebrating a birthday, Dr. DeFreese, PGY2 🎂

🏕️ HUGE thank you to the Klamath Outdoor Science School, for hosting this awesome course. We are so lucky!

❄️☃️ Stay tuned for the Winter Wilderness Medicine elective, which takes place Jan / Feb 2027

✨🏰 Once Upon a Back-to-School Season! 📚🎒

Our annual Back-to-School Well-Child & Sports Physical Clinic was a magical success this year with a Disney/Pixar theme! 🌟 From well-child visits and sports physicals to smiles, crafts, and plenty of fun, we loved helping our families get ready for a healthy and successful school year. ❤️

We are especially grateful for our amazing community partners who joined us to make the day even more special:

📚 Klamath County Library — bringing creativity and fun with crafts for the kids!
🦷 Dental Connect — providing fluoride treatments and valuable oral hygiene education.
🥕 Produce Connection — helping families take home fresh, healthy produce.

It truly takes a community to support healthy kids, and we are so thankful for everyone who helped make this event possible! 💙

Here’s to a healthy, happy, and magical school year! ✨🍎📚
