Community Dinner for Black Health
N/NE Community
Health Center sets
fundraiser
North by Northeast Commu-
nity Health Center has been sup-
porting a healthier Portland com-
munity since 2006 when it was
founded by the late Pastor Mary
Overstreet, a beloved black minis-
ter, and Dr. Jill Ginsberg, a fami-
ly medical doctor and the current
medical director. In addition to
offering primary care services, the
health center partners with neigh-
borhood barbershops to fight high
blood pressure and heart disease.
Last year, the clinic partnered with
Champions Barbering Institute to
establish a scholarship as well as a
community health curriculum for
student barbers.
North by Northeast is the only
medical clinic in Oregon devoted
to black health and has become
a trusted community resource. In
2016 they expanded and relocated
to Northeast Seventh and Alberta
in the old Coast Janitorial build-
ing.
To celebrate their success and
community support, the clinic is
holding their annual Communi-
ty Supper on Saturday, May 18
at the Jantzen Beach Red Lion
from 5:30-9:30 pm. Everyone is
invited! Join emcee Jamaal Lane,
Alonzo Chadwick, Andrew Clay
and Just Friends, and North by
Northeast staff, board and Patient
Wellness Council members for a
night of music, dancing, commu-
nity, and raising money for a great
cause.
This year’s Community Supper
will feature the winners of a com-
munity-wide art contest to repre-
sent Black Health Matters. The
artwork will be raffled off at the
event. There will also be a chance
to bid on concert tickets for Boyz
II Men, Bruno Mars and Lionel
Richie. Lots more fun awaits,
along with some surprises – don’t
miss this great party!
