VA SORCC Services
Over the years the Southern Oregon Rehabilitation Center and Clinics (SORCC) resident milieu has evolved from a domiciliary to a more program-specific, Veteran-centric organization, emphasizing rehabilitation and community reintegration. Comprising 525 active residential rehabilitation beds, our efforts focus on returning the Veteran to a healthy, productive lifestyle. Integrated rehabilitation and therapeutic services include Case Management, Substance Abuse Treatment Program (SATP), Evidence-Based Psychotherapy, Neuropsychological Assessment, a Psychosocial Residential Rehabilitation Center (PRRC), a Mindful Action Group program that includes a Ropes Course, Recreation Therapy, Vocational Rehabilitation/Employment Services, OIF/OEF/OND program, Native American Veterans Program, and Psychiatry Service. These programs are augmented by additional programs including telehealth, care for homeless veterans, community residential homeless Veteran Grant Per Diem Program, physical rehabilitation, prosthetics, ambulatory care clinic, group visits and disease management, community reentry, blind Veteran computer training (VIST), dental services, 15-bed infirmary, chaplain services, and a range of patient wellness clinics focusing on preventive health such as smoking cessation, relapse prevention, tuberculosis, diabetes, hypertension, and nutrition. Coordinated Home Tele-health (CCHT), Home Based Primary Care (HBPC), Women Veterans Healthcare (including Women’s Mental Healthcare), and minority Veterans programs are also offered.
An expanding component of this treatment focus is in the presence of our outpatient programs, offering access to primary and mental health services at the main White City campus and in two CBOCs (Grants Pass and Klamath Falls). As VA’s only freestanding rehabilitation center, the SORCC is a significant resource, drawing Veterans from across the nation (approximately 84% from VISN 20 and 21; 16% from the rest of the nation). We proudly provide specialized programs for underserved Veteran populations experiencing homelessness, chronic mental illness, and substance abuse. We offer quality residential treatment in psychiatry; addictions; medicine; and bio-psychosocial, physical, and vocational rehabilitation.
We offer exemplary outpatient medical and mental health care to Veterans living in the southern Oregon and northern California region, comprising nearly 200,000 Veteran visits annually. Veteran outpatients in Southern Oregon, namely Jackson, Josephine, Klamath, and Lake Counties and Siskiyou, Del Norte and other counties in Northern California visit White City’s Outpatient Clinic. The outpatient service area includes well over 40,000 Veterans. To further complement our rural healthcare focus the Klamath Falls and Grants Pass Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) provide primary and mental health care, including telehealth services. An additional rural healthcare access point has been added to include an outreach clinic in Lakeview, Oregon.
Living in the Rogue Valley
Medford is the largest city within the proximity of the SORCC with smaller nearby communities of Grants Pass and Ashland comprising the majority of the population densities for the Rogue Valley. The climate is generally mild and sunny, with average high temperatures around 45 in the winter and 90 in the summer. Rainfall, averages around 20 inches per year. The climate and geography of Southern Oregon support year-round outdoor activities, including hiking, white-water rafting/kayaking, road and mountain biking, camping, and fishing. Given the proximity to Mt. Ashland (15-minute drive from Ashland), snow sports are readily available, including skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, winter camping, sledding, etc. Mt. Ashland (and the surrounding area) also supports the growth of Enduro-style mountain biking. The area is also known for its dense cultural recreational opportunities including theatre and music such as the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and the Britt Festival. The Rogue Valley has some of the best soil in the country, and vineyards abound in the area. Crater Lake National Park and the Oregon Caves National Monument are both less than a two-hour drive from Medford, and both have multiple campsites along the way. A little further from the city, one can take a day trip to the ocean (about 2.5 hours), which includes a drive through the famous redwood forests of Northern California.
Larger metropolitan cities are also accessible, with flight time to San Francisco less than two hours, driving time to Eugene around 2.5 hours, and driving time to Portland around 4 hours (1 hr flight).
