The mission of the Community Health Education Center (CHEC) is to inform and empower patients, families, community members, and hospital staff by providing current, evidence-based health information. Visiting the CHEC can be an important step in accessing health education, wellness programs, and services in our community.

CHEC services are available to anyone in our community, regardless of whether they are currently a patient at Salem Health.

The CHEC is open Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and can be reached by phone at 503-814-2432 or by email at CHEC@salemhealth.org

Scholarships: Financial assistance is available to those who need help to attend our programs. We may be able to offer a discount and/or waive registration costs depending on the situation. Please call our staff if you need assistance. (Court Mandated Classes are not eligible for scholarships)

Refund & Registration Transfer Policy: Refund requests must be submitted at least seven days prior to the first class session. Refund requests submitted within seven days of the first class session may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed. Registration transfers to another class date must be requested at least two hours prior to the first class session. Transferred registrations are not eligible for refunds. Refunds and transfers are not permitted once a program has begun. If a program is cancelled by the CHEC, refunds will automatically be issued.
