COAST COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER RESCINDS CLOSURE NOTICE
KQEN News Radio

On January 15th, Coast Community Health Center issued a notice regarding the closure of its operations.
A release from Adapt Integrated Health Care said since issuing that notice, Coast has experienced a groundswell of public and private support to keep its resources open and available to the community. Among other things, Coast has received a commitment for sufficient initial support to continue its operations going forward and is making plans to secure the clinic’s long-term future. As a result, the closure notice has been rescinded.
The release said Coast is working closely with local health care payers, providers and regulators to bring their services under new management. Currently, Coast is working with Adapt Integrated Health Care on an arrangement intended to transition the operation of Coast’s medical clinics to Adapt.
Adapt provides comprehensive behavioral health services in the four most southwestern Oregon counties, including Coos and Curry, and operates two 5-star Patient Centered Care Homes in Douglas County. Adapt has been in operation for over 50 years.
Adapt’s CEO Dr. Greg Brigham said, “Adapt is committed to working with Coast Community Health Center to find a solution that will keep its vital services available to the Coos and Curry County communities they serve”.
Coast’s CEO, Kendra Newbold said, “We are grateful to our community for the outpouring of support we have received, and we are committed to do everything we can to avoid a closure and secure these resources for the future. While it will take time to restore the clinic’s full capacity, our goal is for the clinics to emerge from this difficult time stronger and more committed to the community than ever”.
The release said Coast will provide additional updates on the clinic’s future as they become available.
ROSEBURG WARNING CENTER CALLS FOR COMMUNITY SUPORT AMID RISING DEMAND
As Roseburg faces some of its coldest temperatures this winter, a local warming center is reaching out to the community for help. Located at St. George Episcopal Church in downtown Roseburg, the center opens its doors from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on days when temperatures drop below freezing. Since its launch in early January, the center has become a vital resource for individuals seeking warmth, supplies, and support without requiring an overnight stay away from their homes or encampments.
The center has already operated for 10 days this year, serving a total of 251 people. Initially, the number of visitors varied, but recently, the center has seen a significant increase, with over 50 people arriving daily. "Some days there are just a couple of visitors, and other days it’s incredibly busy," shared an anonymous volunteer. "I’ve only been here a few days, but it’s been one extreme to the other. I think it’s wonderful that our church can help the homeless and underprivileged—it’s exactly what a church should do."
Courtney Greenwalt, one of the center’s organizers, emphasized the critical need for the service. "Many of the people we serve are living outdoors—under bridges, in tents, in camps, or even in RVs. Some have no shelter at all. We’ve been able to provide tents and supplies, but these individuals are fully exposed to the extreme cold, which is unusual for our area and has lasted much longer than expected."
Despite limited resources, Greenwalt is committed to keeping the center open during freezing weather. However, the team is in urgent need of supplies such as hand warmers, emergency blankets, flashlights, and first-aid kits. They are also seeking volunteers to help stock supplies, maintain cleanliness, and assist with visitor check-ins during operating hours.

Reflecting on the impact of the center, Greenwalt shared, "We had no idea how great the need would be. It’s been overwhelming but incredibly rewarding. Seeing someone walk in without a coat and leave warm, fed, and prepared—it makes a huge difference."
As the winter chill persists, the warming center’s call for community support highlights the importance of collective effort in addressing the challenges faced by those most vulnerable to the cold. Donations of supplies and volunteer time are crucial to ensuring the center can continue its mission of providing warmth and hope during these harsh winter months.
