History and Mission

WMC was founded in 1984 by Dr. James Reuler, a physician with the Veteran's Administration, and made possible by a bequest from local businessman, Edwin B. Wallace. Based on a mission and belief that everyone deserves quality health care, The Wallace Medical Concern is a volunteer organization providing neighborhood-based, urgent health care services and assistance to Portland and Gresham residents who face barriers to care. We also play an increasingly critical role as a gateway to the larger health care system.

Our ability to provide them with access to medical services is reliant on your generosity, and the commitment of our volunteers who donate their time, money and expertise. This support enabled us to provide over 4,000 patient visits this past year and the demand only continues to grow.
