Employee Spotlight: Meet Jackie! For the past twenty years, Jackie has been an integral part of our Northwest location maintaining our patient's electronic medical records. She values the people she works with most: "This group of doctors, management, and staff are very knowledgeable, helpful, and reasonable." Outside of work, Jackie is an accomplished musician with a BM in flute performance. She performs with multiple bands and musical societies. At home, she looks after her 101-year-old father. They enjoy the company of two dogs and their newest furry friend, an 8-month-old kitten named Lea, who was rescued from our EHN Northwest parking lot. (Lea is short for Eylea, the injections we use to treat macular degeneration). Thank you, Jackie, for your dedication and passion both at work and in your musical pursuits! #employeespotlight #eyehealthnw

We are celebrating 70 years of caring for our Portland communities! Starting in 1954 at a small community eye care center in Oregon City, we’ve evolved over the decades through mergers with East Portland Eyecare, Oregon Medical Eye Clinic in 1997 and Oregon Eye Specialists in 2022, to become the largest doctor-owned eye clinic in the Northwest. Now, with over 500 dedicated employees, 18 convenient locations, and 2 state-of-the-art surgery centers, we remain steadfast in our commitment to expert care and preserving a lifetime of vision for our patients. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of our amazing team members and the trust of our wonderful patients. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey! Here's to many more years of serving the Portland community with excellence. #eyehealthnw #wearehiring #70yearsstrong
