Financial Solutions for Healthcare

When you're involved in a business that helps people get better and stay healthy, patients are not the only "clients." We understand that whether you are a physician in private practice, a clinic administrator or a hospital CFO, you have multiple demands on your time -- from employees and vendors to insurers to shareholders and partners. You have to make decisions about technology, investments, human resources and finances. We can help you with some of those decisions.

First Independent is a healthcare financial partner for dozens of individuals and healthcare organizations in SW Washington and Oregon. We have recruited seasoned professionals and developed comprehensive solutions to meet the needs of solo and partnership practices, clinics and hospitals.

Exceptional Personal Service

Every First Independent healthcare client, whether an individual, a private practice, a clinic or a hospital has their own relationship manager -- one professional that you can direct all your questions, concerns and requests to -- someone who will make sure that you are always working with just the right financial expert to ensure your individual and professional success. There is one direct number that connects you to your relationship manager. No passing the buck. No electronic runaround. Just a real, personal financial relationship. It's what we call exceptional client service. You be the judge.

The Local Advantage

As a privately-held, locally-owned and managed institution, we have spent almost 100 years serving as a financial partner to healthcare professionals and organizations. Our mission is to help our clients create, grow and manage their wealth; and to help our community be healthy and vital as well. As a result, we have committed our time and our philanthropic dollars to support healthcare.

Over the past five years, First Independent and the Firstenburg family have committed more than $17 million to healthcare and healthcare-related endeavors. From a gift to SW Washington Medical Center Foundation to help fund the national award-winning Firstenburg Tower and scholarships for healthcare personnel at Legacy Salmon Creek and SW Washington Medical Center, to a two-year corporate sponsorship for the Free Clinic starting in 2008, we are working to improve healthcare in our region. We have staff and management members who serve on the boards of the Skyline Foundation, SW Medical Center and its Foundation, OHSU's Center for Women's Health, and the Free Clinic, to name a few.
