Siletz Tribe Opens Medical Clinic

The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians announce that Dan’Chaa‑May‑Yvlh‑Srii‑Dvn, which translates to the North Doctor Place, is now open to all residents and is accepting new patients for medical and behavioral health services. The clinic opened its doors in

September 2025, bringing high‑quality, person‑centered care directly to the Oregon Coast. Dedicated to offering broad community access, the facility offers comprehensive billing options including Medicare, Medicaid, and most major private insurance.

North Doctor Place was established to reduce the long travel times that many families faced when accessing care in Siletz. By situating services in Lincoln City, the clinic makes it easier for residents throughout the county both tribal and non‑tribal, to seek timely and reliable healthcare. “Bringing care closer to where our people live and work” was the guiding goal behind the project, according to Tribal leadership.

North Doctor Place is modeled on the Siletz Community Health Clinic’s commitment to

high‑quality, person‑centered care, emphasizing respect, dignity, and individualized treatment. Patients receive integrated support for physical, behavioral and recovery needs, ensuring a holistic approach to health and well‑being.

The clinic provides a wide range of services that are built for the health and well-being of our patients. Some of these services include primary care, general medicine, preventative and chronic care as well as management. The clinic also offers behavioral health services, including assessments, outpatient counseling, and Medication‑Assisted Treatment (MAT) for alcohol and drug use up to ASAM Level 2.1.

Dental services are scheduled to be added as staffing continues to expand.

Community members may receive care at the clinic and will be responsible for insurance‑based costs according to SCHC policy. To become a patient at the clinic you can find them at 1831 SW Highway 101, Lincoln City, OR 97367. North Place Doctor is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. (closed 12:30–1p.m.), and Wednesday: 1 p.m. – 6 p.m. Patients already registered with the Siletz Community Health Clinic do not need to reregister.

New patients can begin care by completing a brief registration packet through North Doctor Place. The opening of North Doctor Place marks a significant milestone for the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians and the broader coastal community. By offering wide patient access and a comprehensive range of services, the clinic stands as a testament to the Siletz Tribe’s ongoing commitment to community health, accessibility and culturally centered care.
