Mosaic Community Health launched the public phase of its Conners Campus capital campaign on Tuesday, inviting neighbors, businesses and community members to help build a new primary hub for comprehensive health services on Bend’s east side.
The launch event, held at the construction site at 2790 NE Conners Ave., brought together state legislators and Mosaic leaders to mark the milestone. Speakers included state Sen. Anthony Broadman, state Rep. Emerson Levy and Mosaic CEO Megan Haase, FNP. Mosaic Board Member Kristina Arnold shared a letter of support from U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden and ceremoniously affixed the first exterior siding panel to the building.
“Our community has rallied around a shared vision for the Conners Campus—a place that will allow Mosaic to care for more people, expand access to essential health services and meet the needs of a growing Central Oregon for generations to come,” said Haase.
The $47 million Conners Campus will double Mosaic’s capacity in Bend, centralizing services currently spread across multiple locations. The 42,000-square-foot building is expected to serve about 20,000 patients a year. The campaign aims to raise $6.1 million in community philanthropy for the project. The remainder of the budget includes $36.9 million in Mosaic financing and investment and $4 million in secured state lottery bond funding.
“Access to healthcare shouldn’t depend on where you live or what you earn. The state’s investment in the Conners Campus reflects a belief that Central Oregon families deserve care close to home, and I’m proud to have advocated for it,” said Levy. “Now it’s the community’s turn to help carry this project across the finish line.”
The campaign is now in the home stretch of its $6.1 million community philanthropy phase. Mosaic needs to raise the final $900,000 in community gifts to complete a Tykeson Family Foundation matching challenge and reach the goal.
“Your gift can help us get there,” Haase said. “Together, we can bring the full vision for the Conners Campus to life and create greater access to care for thousands of our neighbors.”
What the Conners Campus will mean for the community
Mosaic serves more than 37,000 patients, roughly 1 in 8 people in Central Oregon, through health centers in Bend, Redmond, Madras, Prineville and Sisters and through mobile clinics. The Conners Campus will bring together services including:
- Medical, dental and pharmacy care
- Pediatric and family practice care
- Behavioral health and substance use disorder services, including Medication Assisted Treatment
- Oregon Health Plan enrollment and other patient support services
- Classes and community meeting space
When complete, the campus will increase Mosaic’s capacity in Bend by 50%, including a 75% increase for pediatric health services, a 35% increase for pharmacy services and a doubling of dental capacity. It will also expand same-day primary care access for Bend and surrounding communities.
The campus sits on Bend’s east side, home to many residents living at or below the poverty level. It is co-located with affordable senior and family housing developed by HousingWorks, the regional housing authority. Centralizing care in one location with easy access to public transportation will reduce logistical barriers for low-income, uninsured and underinsured patients.
The building is designed with patient and staff well-being in mind, using mass timber construction, Trauma Informed Design principles, Universal Design features and healthy materials that avoid vinyl, PFAS and other harmful chemicals. Skanska USA Building Inc. is the contractor, and Hacker Architects is the architect.
Construction began in early 2026, and Mosaic plans to celebrate the Conners Campus grand opening in summer 2027.
“A project of this scale illustrates what I call the ‘Oregon Way’ bringing federal, state, local and private partners together around a shared table to tackle our biggest challenges,” Wyden wrote. “Expanding the Conners Campus is a powerful testament to what we can accomplish when public investment in health infrastructure joins hand-in-hand with local philanthropic leadership. Investing in modern, flexible, and integrated health facilities not only keeps working families healthy, but it also relieves pressure on local emergency rooms and builds a more resilient regional economy.”
