This spring marks an important time for Housecall Providers. We hold deep gratitude for the support that has carried us this far, and a sense of anticipation for what lies ahead. As we move through some significant transitions, I want to take a moment to honor where we have been and to recognize the people and partnerships that have shaped our journey.

For the past nine years, CareOregon has been a steady source of guidance and strength for our organization. Long before we formally joined the CareOregon family, our shared mission and values created a natural foundation for collaboration. Together we advanced models of home-based primary and palliative care, strengthened our clinical infrastructure, and expanded access for some of the most medically complex members of our community. Their belief in our work allowed us to grow and innovate during times when the healthcare landscape was shifting around us. We remain deeply grateful for their partnership and for the stability they provided during a pivotal period of our history.

At the same time, we say a heartfelt goodbye to someone whose impact on Housecall Providers cannot be overstated. After 22 years of service, our Primary Care Medical Director JC Provost is returning to his home country of France. JC has been a teacher, a mentor, a clinician of exceptional compassion, a quiet architect of many of the systems and practices that define our model of care, and a caring coworker. His commitment to listening first and honoring the full humanity of each patient has touched thousands of lives and shaped many clinicians. His legacy will continue to guide us long after his departure.

These transitions remind us that the strength of Housecall Providers has always come from the people who give their hearts to this work and from the partners who stand with us. As we look toward affiliating with Chapters Health System, we do so with clarity and optimism. This partnership offers us new tools, resources and support that will help sustain our mission far into the future, allowing us to grow while staying rooted in the values that define who we are.

There is real hope in this moment. As we honor our past and the many hands that brought us here, we move forward with gratitude and the focus needed to serve our community well.
