In the heart of downtown Hood River, a historic building is being re-imagined for modern wellness. The Union Building was built by L.C. Baldwin Construction generations ago and now houses Outbound Wellness. This comprehensive care center is owned and operated by fifth-generation Hood River resident and emergency nurse Brooke Baldwin. The space was originally constructed by her grandfather.
Baldwin’s approach to wellness was shaped far from home, in high-pressure emergency rooms where she saw firsthand what happens when care comes too late. What she witnessed in emergency rooms was a recurring pattern: people arriving for care that could have been prevented, or handled earlier and more comfortably outside a hospital setting. Outbound Wellness was born from her experiences to become a place designed to keep people healthier, supported, and connected before they reach a hospital bed.
Today, the Wellness Center is as much about experience as it is about functional medicine. With bright, airy interiors and panoramic views of the Columbia River, the space feels restorative and welcoming.
“Our family’s history is literally written into the walls of this building, and now we get to add another chapter by investing in the health of our neighbors,” said Baldwin.
Outbound Wellness is open and offers the following services:
• IV Infusions: Myers’ Cocktail, Immune Boost, Athlete Recovery Drips
Because it’s delivered intravenously, the body absorbs nearly 100% of the nutrients, compared to oral supplements.
• IV therapy typically includes (but not limited to): vitamin C, B-complex vitamins (especially B12), magnesium
• IV therapy is commonly used to support: energy and fatigue reduction, immune function, stress support, muscle recovery, migraines, and overall wellness
• Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
• GLP-1 Weight Management: paired with nutrition coaching
• Aesthetics: Botox and Hydrafacials
• Nutrition Services
• Chiropractic Care
• Acupuncture
• Somatic Bodywork/Structural Integration
The setting is designed to promote calm and recovery, welcoming clients to slow down and invest in their health. The care feels proactive and personal, helping those seeking improved energy, pain relief, hormonal balance, or recovery support in the community.
For many clients, Outbound Wellness offers an alternative to fragmented care and long wait times often associated with traditional health systems. Instead of addressing symptoms in isolation, the center focuses on early intervention, prevention, and whole-body support. Clients have access to multiple services in one location, where practitioners collaborate and tailor care plans that fit individual lifestyles and goals.
At Outbound Wellness, you will find a collective dedicated to restoring vitality, preventing illness, and optimizing health and longevity for the Columbia Gorge community. Outbound Wellness brings together skilled practitioners from multiple disciplines under one roof, collaborating to provide every client with the care they need. Helping you feel good in your body.
