Five nonprofit organizations based at the Jerry Bruce Community Campus will host their fourth annual Spring Fair on Saturday, May 2, offering free activities and meals for children in the parking lot at 150 NE Kenneth Ford Drive, according to a statement from organizers.

The fair runs from noon to 3 p.m. and is open to the public. Children who attend will receive a ticket for a free meal at a food truck of their choice while supplies last, a promotion funded by event sponsors. Food trucks will also sell snacks, meals, and drinks for other attendees. Last year's event drew more than 1,000 people.

Activities include the Portland Water Bureau's WOW (Water on Water) demonstrations, balloon artists, face painting, and henna tattoos. Admission is free.

All proceeds from the weekend's events benefit United Community Action Network, one of the partner organizations on the campus. A charity golf scramble follows the fair on Sunday, May 3, with a 9 a.m. shotgun start at Bar Run Golf & RV Resort. The scramble offers cash prizes, including $5,000 for a hole in one on the par 3 15th. Registration is open at www.birdease.com/jbcccharitygolf.

Event sponsors include CHI CommonSpirit, Oregon Pacific Bank, and several other regional organizations, according to the announcement.

The Jerry Bruce Community Campus sits on land along the north end of NE Kenneth Ford Drive and houses Family Development Center, The Fish Food Bank, United Community Action Network, and two other organizations. Together they provide services ranging from childhood development programs and food assistance to health care and support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The campus concept originated in the early 2000s when Jerry Bruce and other community leaders envisioned a centralized location where multiple nonprofits could collaborate to serve Douglas County residents.

ROSEBURG, Ore. – Aviva Health has launched its Rural Oregon Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Residency Program, a 13-month training program designed to support newly graduated family nurse practitioners (FNPs) and physician associates (PAs) as they transition into clinical practice in rural settings. Interviews are currently underway to select the first cohort of two residents, who will begin in early September.
 
The program includes four days per week of direct clinical practice under the guidance of experienced providers, with a focus on managing health conditions common in rural communities. It includes specialty rotations in pediatrics, behavioral health, women's health, and dermatology, as well as dedicated time for classroom learning, small group sessions and clinical skills development.
 
“Launching this residency program just makes sense. New providers get real-world experience with the support they need, and our patients get high-quality care from clinicians who are learning how to practice medicine the right way—in the places that need it most,” says KC Bolton, CEO of Aviva Health. Plus, if we do this well, maybe they’ll stick around and fall in love with Douglas County like the rest of us. We’re not just growing talent; we are planting seeds to build our community’s capacity.”
 
Each resident will also participate in a team-based quality improvement project aligned with organizational goals, gaining experience in data-driven decision-making and population health management.
 
The APP Residency Program builds on Aviva Health’s ongoing efforts to recruit, train, and retain healthcare providers in Douglas County. Since 2020, Aviva Health has operated the Roseburg Family Medicine Residency Program, which prepares physicians for rural primary care. The organization also continues to build academic partnerships with Umpqua Community College and other regional institutions to expand local training opportunities and strengthen the healthcare workforce pipeline.
