Deschutes County sets grand opening for its new North County Campus in Redmond

REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Deschutes County will open its new North County campus in Redmond on Friday, Jan. 12. The campus, which is located at 236 and 244 Kingwood Avenue, will house a variety of Deschutes County services, including Behavioral Health, Public Health and Veterans’ Services.

County services will be offered alongside co-located primary care services provided by Mosaic Community Health.

“Our new North County Campus will provide a hub for residents to access vital services in a convenient location,” said County Administrator Nick Lelack. “We’re excited to have the opportunity to provide streamlined service to our North County residents.”

Community partners and County staff will gather for a grand opening ceremony on Friday, Jan. 12, at 10 a.m. to celebrate the opening of the new campus and offer public tours. One of the buildings on the campus opened in the fall of 2023.

The County’s decision to invest in a new North County campus came as a direct response to the growing population and needs of the Redmond and surrounding community. It also provides much-needed space for many Health Services programs that were outgrowing the space they previously occupied.

Community members can access the following services at the County’s new North County Campus:
