The Gladys McCoy Health Department Headquarters building for the Multnomah County Health Department provides accessible, equitable and high-quality healthcare for Portland and the neighboring cities in Multnomah County.

The new nine-story, 158,000 square foot facility consolidates approximately 500 healthcare professionals across a broad spectrum of disciplines. The building includes a central laboratory, ground floor pharmacy, administrative offices, communicable disease services and clinic space to serve the public.
