Compassion Center, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, was founded in 2001 by a group of community members concerned with the difficulty patients were having in receiving needed treatment under the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (OMMA) (implemented in 1999).

Many patients found that their physicians were either professionally restricted by their employers from recommending medical marijuana or were otherwise unwilling to consider marijuana as a treatment option. Compassion Center was created to address these barriers by helping patients meet with physicians who are willing to consider marijuana as a medical treatment option and discuss the risks and benefits of such treatment. Compassion Center has served over 3,000 patients since its inception.

We hold medical clinics, educate people regarding the OMMA and its provisions and provide support and networking opportunities.
