Our Primary Care Practitioners provide high quality, comprehensive medical care and treatment to a diverse safety-net patient population in a patient-centered, team-based model with an emphasis on the prevention of disease, promotion of health, and management of chronic disease. The clinical team includes certified medical assistants, RN care coordinators, clinical pharmacists, health navigators, and behavioral health consultants.
To allow the time to deliver high quality care to patients with complex needs, our practitioners manage panels between 700 and 1,200 patients and see about 14 patients per day. After-hours calls are shared among the full primary care group and supported by a nurse triage line that manages the vast majority of after-hours requests. Our providers have the option to teach medical residents from several organizations as well as medical students from the local medical school.

Voters elect three County Commissioners and a Sheriff to four-year terms. The District Attorney is also elected to a four-year term and is a state official. The County Commissioners are assisted in their administrative responsibilities by the County Administrator, who is responsible for implementing County policy, managing operations, budget, and supervising Department Directors. With a ’23-’25 adopted budget of approximately $485.9 million and 604 employees, Benton County provides a breadth of services through its departments of Assessment, Board of Commissioners, Community Development, District Attorney, Fairgrounds, Records and Elections, Financial Services, Health Centers, Health Department, Human Resources, Information Technology, Juvenile, Natural Areas and Parks, Public Works, and the Sheriff’s Office.
In addition to Oregon State University and local entrepreneurship, Benton County’s economy is driven by the tech and health industries and regional agriculture. Traditionally, county Ag has focused on grass seed, Christmas trees, wine grapes, seed crops, organic produce, lumber, sheep, cattle and dairy, but recent years have seen large upswing in hazelnuts and marijuana. The community’s passion for supporting a thriving local economy allow the county to boast chefs, restaurateurs, winemakers, brewmasters and distilleries committed to locally grown ingredients with a strong focus on sustainability.
