Fora Health Doctor Named Top in Addiction Medicine by Portland Monthly

We are proud to share that one of our esteemed doctors, Dr. Jennifer Hartley, was recognized earlier this month in Top Doctors in Addiction Medicine in Portland Monthlyโ€™s 20th annual list of the metro areaโ€™s top medical providers, as chosen by their peers!

Each year, Portland Monthly asks local medical providers to answer a burning question: who are the people they turn to when their families need care, or when they get sick? The resulting list includes MDs, osteopaths, nurse practitioners, optometrists, licensed acupuncturists, chiropractors, physician assistants, naturopaths, and physical therapists. The Addiction Medicine category recognizes local doctors who specialize in addiction medicine and see patients dealing with substance use issues including opiates, alcohol, and more. Dr. Hartley was recognized in the Addiction Medicine category this year.

Dr. Hartley is the Medical Director for Withdrawal Management, Innovation & Special Projects at Fora Health. In her role, she is responsible for directing Foraโ€™s medically managed withdrawal unit, a 24-bed inpatient acute stabilization program that manages withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants. Additionally, she works on developing complementary medical services at Fora, including acupuncture, chiropractic, qigong, yoga, nutrition, and more. Dr. Hartley also leads Foraโ€™s medical learners program, which brings trainees, including fellows, residents, and nursing students, to Fora to gain experience in substance use treatment.

โ€œWe are immensely proud of Dr. Hartley being named among Portland Monthlyโ€™s Top Doctors in Addiction Medicine,โ€ said our CEO, Devarshi Bajpai. โ€œHer dedication, compassion, and innovation in their work truly embodies the spirit of Foraโ€™s mission to provide treatment, care, and advocacy for all who are affected by substance use disorder. This recognition not only reflects her individual accomplishments but also reaffirms Fora Healthโ€™s commitment to delivering exceptional care to those navigating the journey of recovery.โ€
