Posted on FlashAlert: December 19th, 2022 4:09 PM

LANE COUNTY, OR—Lane County Public Health (LCPH) is discontinuing the Community Access Center at the Valley River Center Mall effective December 30, 2022. LCPH has been offering a number of vaccinations at the center since June, but after careful review of the utilization data has decided to focus resources on mobile services.
“Our goal through these services is to equitably expand access to basic preventative health services throughout Lane County,” said Lane County Community Response Program Supervisor, Elizabeth Miglioretto. “After a careful review of the utilization data, we have decided that the best way to accomplish that goal is to focus available resources on vaccination and testing services that have the ability to relocate and move throughout Lane County.”

The center will maintain normal business hours (Wednesday-Saturday, 1pm-7pm) through December 30th with the exception of December 24th (open from 1-6 pm) December 25th (closed) and December 31st (open 1-6 pm).
