Aviva Health Glide Clinic Location Reopens

ROSEBURG, Ore. – Effective immediately, Aviva Health’s Glide location is again open for regular business hours after a 50-day closure due to the COVID-19 emergency. The clinic operates Monday through Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

As a precautionary measure related to COVID-19, walk-in patients are not yet allowed. Anyone wishing to be seen must call the clinic in advance at (541) 496-3504 to make an appointment.

All patients showing up for an appointment are encouraged to wear a mask and staff continues to adhere to all PPE recommendations of local, state and federal health officials.

“This is a careful balance,” says Aviva Health CEO KC Bolton. “We want to make sure we are providing our patients the care they need while ensuring their safety and the safety of our staff and larger community.”

While its medical clinics in Myrtle Creek, Sutherlin, North County and Roseburg never closed, Aviva Health’s majority of patient visits at this juncture are virtual.

“We continue to monitor the situation in Douglas County and are paying close attention to the governor’s decisions around a phased reopening of the economy,” Bolton says. “We, like so many Oregonians, are eager to return to some semblance of normal, but our top priority remains and always will be the health and safety of our patients, staff and community. For that reason, we’ll continue to follow the recommendations of our local public health authority and state and federal health officials.”

Tosha Agee, Aviva Health’s Glide Clinic manager, says staff is eager to once again deliver care to the community.

“Our clinic staff is excited to return to serving the people of Glide,” she says. “It’s our mission to provide access to high-quality, affordable medical care to people who wouldn’t otherwise have it, and this reopening is a great representation of that.”
