South Central Oregon

Oregon encompasses 97,000 square miles and has a population of 4.2 million. While over 70 percent of these people live in a narrow strip in the western part of the state, the remaining 30 percent live in rural, often very remote areas with limited access to medical care. Klamath Falls is culturally and economically linked to these small rural communities in Oregon. We serve a 10,000 square-mile area in south central Oregon and northern California which has a catchment population of around 100,000 people.
