Legacy-GoHealth Urgent Care in Oregon City accepts Medicaid and most insurance, with a standard fee for others, and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid HIV, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C. Walk-ins welcome, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
Legacy-GoHealth Urgent Care has interpretation services available for non-English languages, which means someone navigating STI care without strong English fluency can work through symptoms, results, and treatment options with the clinical staff directly. No gap between what's said and what's understood.
Legacy-GoHealth Urgent Care prescribes both PrEP and PEP, which means a single clinic handles the HIV prevention conversation, the testing required to start, and the prescription. Keeping the process consolidated for people who don't have a dedicated primary care provider.
For anyone without a regular provider who needs a thorough picture of their sexual health, Legacy-GoHealth's panel reaches beyond the basic four to include herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C testing, so gaps that often require a separate appointment get answered in the same visit.

Neighborhood Health Center in Oregon City runs on sliding-scale fees with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance accepted, covering the full panel: HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C. Appointments are required; bacterial infections are treated the same visit. Care is delivered in Spanish.
Leaving herpes or hepatitis B undetected means a separate facility, a separate fee, and a gap during which both can progress or be passed on. Neighborhood Health Center tests for herpes simplex and both hepatitis B and C alongside the standard four, so the picture is complete before you leave.
Neighborhood Health Center prescribes daily oral PrEP and carries out the required follow-up (the baseline HIV and kidney-function labs, the 90-day and then quarterly HIV testing, and the prescription renewals) all within the same practice. PEP is also available for prevention when the clinical situation calls for it.
When a patient can't describe symptoms precisely or ask follow-up questions in full, gaps open up. In the exam, in the treatment plan, in the decision about PrEP. At Neighborhood Health Center in Oregon City, STI care is conducted in Spanish, so nothing critical gets lost between the question and the answer.

Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette in Milwaukie runs on a sliding scale with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance accepted, and tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis C. Bacterial infections treated same visit. An appointment is required.
Clinical staff communicate directly in Spanish and Vietnamese, with interpretation available for additional languages, which means a patient's questions, concerns, and follow-up instructions land with full precision rather than getting compressed into a rushed exchange.
As a Title X family planning site, Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette provides legally confidential services to minors: meaning a young person's STI testing, treatment, and contraceptive care cannot be disclosed to a parent or guardian without their consent.
Prescribing only PrEP leaves a gap in bacterial STI prevention that most clinics don't close: Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette carries PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP, making post-exposure antibiotic prevention part of the same care relationship as HIV prevention.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Clackamas County, the county that includes Gladstone, compare with Oregon and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~25% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#18 of 36 Oregon counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 50% of the state
| Infection | Clackamas County | Oregon | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 248.1 1,050 cases ▼ 32% | 362.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 77.3 327 cases ▼ 34% | 117.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 18.2 77 cases ▼ 5% | 19.2 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6.6 28 cases ▼ 31% | 9.6 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 10.4 44 cases ▼ 47% | 19.7 | 29.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Clackamas County, chlamydia has fallen from 268.6 to 248.1 per 100,000 (8%), gonorrhea has fallen from 104.9 to 77.3 per 100,000 (26%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 10.2 to 18.2 per 100,000 (78%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Clackamas County.
Local HIV snapshot
Clackamas County HIV care continuum (2023)
Clackamas County recorded 4.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Clackamas County residents living with HIV, 88.4% are in care · 81.4% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
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 Clackamas County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Glen Echo's streets mix small rental homes with older owner-occupied bungalows, a split that shows up in the numbers too: roughly six in ten households here own, and the rest are working with a monthly rent that eats a real chunk of a paycheck. That kind of budget math tends to push health errands to the bottom of the list, especially for anyone renting near Jennings Lodge or out toward Park Place, where a spare hour is genuinely scarce.
With average households running larger than a single person or couple, a lot of daily life in Gladstone revolves around family logistics, school pickups, shared cars, overlapping work shifts. Add in that better than a third of the county's population sits in the early-adult years when new relationships and new living situations are common, and it's easy to see why a testing appointment can get squeezed out even when someone means to go. Unemployment here isn't negligible either, which means schedules can shift week to week, making a fixed daytime clinic slot harder to plan around.
None of that changes what the county's STI patterns suggest about timing: earlier testing catches more, and catches it before it spreads. Given how Gladstone sits along McLoughlin Boulevard, the most realistic move is picking a clinic with evening or weekend hours reachable off OR 99E and booking before the next shift schedule locks in.
Getting there
Gladstone scores 14.86/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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).
In Oregon, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
