New health worker at Orchid

BLUE RIVER: The Orchid Health McKenzie River Clinic in Rainbow has hired Daisy Cruz as its new Community Health Worker.

Daisy holds a master’s degree in business administration and technical management, along with ten years of experience in administrative work, customer service, and marketing with startup medical organizations.

Orchid says that as a Community Health Worker, “Daisy will provide individualized support to help patients beyond the walls of Orchid’s clinic. This includes outreach, transportation services, food care, and serving as a liaison between health and social services.”

“I’m most excited about helping people in our community,” Daisy says of starting her new role. “My family and I have lived in McKenzie Bridge for the past two years and am excited to be working locally.”

When Daisy is not working, she enjoys spending time outdoors, boating, hiking, foraging, camping, and off-roading in the Oregon Coast Sand Dunes with her family.
