COPA is a private pediatric medical practice based in Bend, Central Oregon, and is described as the region's largest provider for children with more than four decades of operation. It is independently owned by physicians and operates without affiliation to a large health system, offering integrated care from a multidisciplinary team that includes pediatricians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and pediatric nurses; all physicians are board-certified by the American Academy of Pediatrics, with some holding FAAP credentials and additional subspecialty certifications. COPA runs four locations with extended hours and hosts visiting specialists from Portland-area children's hospitals to support children with advanced medical needs. The practice emphasizes accessible, family-centered care through features such as 24-hour nurse advice, holiday hours, and recognition as a 5-Star Tier 3 patient-centered primary care home, while delivering embedded services like lactation consulting, behavioral health, care coordination, nutrition, and language support to help families navigate care and coverage, including Oregon Health Plan assistance. In 2022 COPA appointed Laurie M. Hill as chief executive officer.
