How to read these listings

Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 405 reviews

Redmond Health Center, in Redmond, carries federal qualification that obligates it to offer sliding-scale fees tied to household income: meaning STI screening for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia is priced according to what patients actually earn, with no appointment required to be seen.

Deschutes County Health Services

No ratings yet

Deschutes County Health Services in Redmond delivers STI testing (rapid and conventional HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis A, B, and C) through a county public health infrastructure where appointments are required, bacterial infections are treated same visit, and every service carries no fee.

Zero-Cost Care Across Every Service Line

Every service at Deschutes County Health Services (testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling, condom distribution) is provided at no cost. That blanket applies regardless of insurance status, so sliding-scale calculation and coverage gaps both become irrelevant before the appointment begins.

Spanish and Interpretation Services On Hand

Spanish is spoken directly at Deschutes County Health Services, and interpretation services extend access across other languages: meaning test results, treatment instructions, and counseling all reach patients in full rather than in summary.

Hepatitis A, B, and C Added to the Panel

Deschutes County Health Services tests for hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the core bacterial and HIV screen, which means a single appointment can surface chronic infections that often go undetected without a deliberate reason to look.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 44 reviews

Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette in Bend runs the full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis C, and rapid HIV) on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections; appointments required, with Spanish and interpretation services available.

Read full overview Show less

Spanish Spoken, Interpretation Ready Beyond That

Plenty of clinics list a language access line as their entire multilingual offering. Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette carries Spanish-language care directly, plus interpretation services for other languages, so a conversation about symptoms, prevention options, or treatment doesn't depend on a workaround.

Title X Covers Minors With Legal Confidentiality

Many clinics that accept Title X funding don't make explicit what that means for younger patients: Title X mandates legally confidential family planning and STI services for minors. Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette operates under that designation, so a minor's visit and results are protected by federal law, not clinic policy.

DoxyPEP Alongside PrEP and PEP

Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette prescribes all three current biomedical prevention tools: PrEP for ongoing HIV risk reduction, PEP for post-exposure HIV management, and DoxyPEP, doxycycline taken after exposure to reduce bacterial STI transmission, giving providers a full pharmacological toolkit rather than a single-option prevention conversation.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 16 reviews

Deschutes County Health Services-Public Health in Bend tests for HIV, hepatitis C, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. All at no charge, on a sliding scale for any additional services. Appointments are required, and bacterial STIs are treated the same visit.

Read full overview Show less

Every Test and Visit Billed at Zero

The no-fee structure here isn't a waiver program or a one-time grant: it's the standing operating model of a county public health department, where HIV testing, hepatitis C testing, and the full STI panel are funded at the public level so the charge to the individual is zero regardless of income or insurance status.

Spanish Spoken Directly, Not Routed Around

Spanish-language services are available directly at Deschutes County Health Services-Public Health, and interpretation is available for other languages as well: meaning clinical conversations about test results, treatment plans, and prevention options happen in the language of the appointment, not summarized through a separate channel afterward.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Where Prevention Starts

Prevention prescriptions often require a separate primary care relationship that many people don't have: Deschutes County Health Services-Public Health offers both PrEP and PEP on-site, with coverage for uninsured patients built into the clinic's fee structure, so the medication conversation and access happen in the same place as the test.

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.

Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Deschutes County tests for syphilis.

Data & references

About Eagle Crest, OR

Vista Rim and the surrounding stretches along OR 126 carry the feel of a community that has largely settled in: most households here are owner-occupied, and the majority of adults are married, living in smaller two-person homes that reflect a quieter chapter of life rather than a transient one. That stability shapes the health landscape in ways worth naming: with well under half the population actively in the workforce and unemployment nearly absent, Eagle Crest skews toward an established, later-career demographic. The slice of residents in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI transmission rates run highest, is comparatively small, but that doesn't mean their access needs are minor.

What does complicate things here is the physical reality. Rent in Eagle Crest runs meaningfully high for Oregon, and in a community where a strong share of households earn above six figures, cost barriers may feel invisible, but they aren't uniform, and younger adults navigating entry-level budgets feel the difference between a $0 visit and one that isn't. Desert Sky and Highland Park residents alike sit the same distance from that single listed clinic, so building the drive into an existing errand along the highway corridor is often the most practical path forward.

Confidentiality & consent in Oregon

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Oregon law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Oregon, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Oregon permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.

Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
