Community Health Centers of Lane County (CHCLC) began, as most important projects do, as a vision. A community of concerned individuals, agencies, public entities, schools and private businesses determined to help our neighbors who have limited or no access to health care. Their dreams were realized in 2004 when CHCLC’s doors opened.

Community Health Centers of Lane County was one of four programs operated by the Human Services Commission (HSC), a regional health and human services organization located in Eugene, Oregon. Since its inception in 1972, HSC has maintained a mission to serve those who have limited or no access to basic health care and other life impacting needs.

In 2008 CHCLC became its own division under Health & Human Services.
