Mosaic Community Health held a launch event for its Conners Campus at 2790 NE Conners Ave. in Bend on October 13, 2026, a $47 million, 42,000-square-foot health hub on the city's east side. The project is co-located with family and senior affordable housing and public transportation, and Bend-area providers should watch its expanded capacity.
Why it matters
The campus is designed to increase Mosaic's capacity in Bend, with the organization projecting roughly 20,000 patients a year and gains of 50% in Bend capacity, 75% in pediatric services, and 35% in pharmacy services. For local health operators, a larger integrated provider on the east side changes referral patterns, staffing competition, and how comprehensive care is delivered alongside housing and transit.
The $47 million, 42,000-square-foot campus is backed by $36.9 million in Mosaic financing and investment, $4 million in state lottery bonds, and a $6.1 million philanthropy campaign with $900,000 still to be raised for a Tykeson Family Foundation match. Mosaic projects capacity gains of 50% in Bend, 75% in pediatric services, and 35% in pharmacy services, though the baseline for the projected 20,000 annual patients is not stated.
The players
Mosaic Community Health
A Central Oregon community health provider operating primary, pediatric, pharmacy, and integrated care services across the region.
Tykeson Family Foundation
A philanthropic foundation that has issued the matching challenge Mosaic must complete with $900,000 in community gifts.
The details
Mosaic is in the public phase of its fundraising campaign, which aims to raise $6.1 million in community philanthropy alongside its own financing. The first exterior siding panel was affixed by Mosaic Board Member Kristina Arnold to symbolically begin the next phase of development, which started construction in early 2026. Mosaic envisions the campus as an all-accessible medical facility, and the building is co-located with family and senior affordable housing and public transportation.

Mosaic plans to hold the Conners Campus grand opening in summer 2027.
Market Landscape
The campus follows a pattern of health providers pairing capital campaigns with state lottery bond financing and philanthropic matches to fund facilities. Its co-location with affordable housing and transit places it within the integrated-services model that community health organizations increasingly use to address access barriers.
Bend-area health operators should factor in new competition and referral flows from a larger integrated provider on the east side as the campus ramps up. Employers and recruiters in healthcare should expect added demand for clinical and pharmacy staff as capacity expands.
The takeaway
Track the campus's progress toward its $6.1 million philanthropy goal and its summer 2027 opening as signals of how quickly the projected capacity gains arrive. Operators in the Bend health sector should review referral and staffing plans ahead of the grand opening.
What happens next
Mosaic plans to hold the Conners Campus grand opening in summer 2027, when the facility's services are expected to open to patients.
