Baker County. Someone went warm and quiet on the drive in from Haines. I do not want a waiting room.
Where in Oregon are you, and how do they look?
In Baker City now. No trouble breathing. They are drinking water.
If this fits, a plan can go to a pharmacy in Oregon. If someone needs to be seen in person, I will say so before you pay.

Historic Baker City
The clock tower still stands over Main Street. The waiting room is not the day.

Baker City is the county seat, with a historic downtown of old brick and stone buildings and the Elkhorn Mountains to the west. Haines, Halfway, Huntington, and Sumpter are spread across a big county, and the next town can be a long drive. Text from where you are standing instead: it is a $59 visit, and meds go with you only if a prescription fits.
How a sick hour here shows up
Same $59 text. Still in Baker County.
On I-84
Someone turned warm and achy on the drive through the valley. Text the timeline before you give the afternoon to a waiting room.
In Baker City
A throat or a stomach that showed up downtown or at home. You are still there. A nurse practitioner can read the story by text if it is the simple pattern.
Out by Halfway
Warm, clingy, not themselves, a long way from the next town. Stay where you are and text. If this looks like more than a text visit, Chris will say so before you pay.
Flagstaff Hill
The wagons still sit on the hill. You do not have to leave the county.

The National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center sits on Flagstaff Hill, a few miles northeast of Baker City. People come to see where the wagons crossed this valley. If someone gets sick out here, text from the parking lot and keep the day: it is a $59 visit, and meds go with you only if a prescription fits.
If you are in Oregon right now
Keep the county. Skip the waiting room.
Someone is home in Baker City, or driving I-84 through the county, and then a person with them turns warm or hoarse. The drive to a walk-in and the wait after it would spend the rest of the day.
This is a $59 asynchronous text visit with a nurse practitioner, from home, the car, or wherever you are standing in Baker County. No video. You must be physically in Oregon. If a prescription fits, you pick it up at an Oregon pharmacy.
How it works
Three texts. A pharmacy in Oregon if it fits.
No app, no portal, no video. A prescription is not promised. You only pay if he can treat you.
1
Text the symptoms
Tap the button. Say you are in Oregon, in Baker County, and what started. A parent or guardian has to run the visit for a kid. No app. No camera.
2
Get a plan
Chris Woods, a nurse practitioner, reads it himself. Support it, treat it, or be seen in person.

An Oregon pharmacy when it fits
When a prescription is appropriate, it can go to a nearby Oregon pharmacy. A prescription is not promised. You only pay if he can treat you.
The honest line
When a text visit is the wrong fit
A child who looks seriously ill. A stiff neck with fever. Trouble keeping fluids down. Anything that needs a room, imaging, or eyes on a wound. This page is for the simple hour in Baker County, in Baker City, Haines, or Halfway, not the scare that belongs in an ER. He will send you in, and you are not charged for a visit he cannot do.
Not for emergencies
Chest pain, trouble breathing, or a severe allergic reaction: call 911 or go to the ER. Text-based telehealth is not emergency care.
