Founded by clinical and operational leaders in alternative community response, WVCC is working to bring mobile integrated health community responder services back to Eugene. Until April of this year, integrated mobile health services brought trauma-informed, zero-barrier, consent based care 24 hours a day, seven days a week to Eugene. WVCC is ready to bring these services back.​

 

Dozens of people spoke at the Eugene budget hearings and hundreds more wrote emails in support of getting mobile integrated health community responder services back in the Eugene budget. We won and we couldn’t have done it without you. Eugene City Council approved a half a million dollars now to investigate where to find $2.2 million annually. We’re grateful for our national partners and advocates around the country and globe who’ve been inspired by this model and have supported our efforts to return mobile integrated health community responder services to the very community where they were conceived, evolved, and integrated into public safety for over 35 years. 

 

Since this win, Willamette Valley Crisis Care has been awarded 501c3 recognition, formed a board of value-aligned, visionary humans, applied for four grants (awarded one for $10,000 from Oregon Community Foundation). Additionally at WVCC, we’ve developed our mission, vision, and strategic plan, and articulated the integrity of our work to decision-makers, stakeholders, and supporters like you. We’re thrilled to take the next steps to bring services back to Eugene.
