Central Oregon Veterans Ranch (COVR) is a 19-acre working farm in a rustic setting that promotes the healing of combat trauma across the lifespan.  Central Oregon (Deschutes, Crook, Jefferson Counties) is home to approximately 20,000 veterans, including veterans from WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, and numerous other military operations.  

Every generation of veterans is uniquely impacted by their era of service and will have end of life experiences markedly different than those of their civilian counterparts.  Given the age range of Korean and Vietnam veterans, Central Oregon will be providing end of life care to veterans for the next 20-30 years. 

COVR's unique model of healthcare brings together different generations of veterans together in non-stigmatizing, natural environment where they can heal each other, and heal together.​

COVID19 Mental Health Services: 
If you are a veteran in crisis or in need of mental health services, please call the Veterans Crisis Line 800-273-8255 or go to your nearest emergency room.

​You may also call Deschutes County Behavioral Health and request to speak to the Veteran Peer Support Liaison, 541-322-7500.
