While DC politicians slash funding for rural healthcare, Heather Buch opened the doors to a new health clinic for our community. Heather led the effort to open the new South Lane Clinic in Cottage Grove, which has already served more than 3,800 patients with primary care, dental care, and mental health services close to home.

Heather also secured $14.5 million in state funding for a new Mental Health Stabilization Center in Lane County. The Center will help people in mental health crisis and connect them to long-term care, getting them back on their feet — and making our communities safer.
