Springfield, Oregon offers a relaxed Willamette Valley base with the McKenzie River and abundant hiking, mountain-biking and fishing nearby, plus a growing small-city food and craft-beer scene—perfect for multi-week therapy assignments where outdoor breaks and easy living matter.
Adjacent to Eugene for university-driven arts, events and larger healthcare options, and a short drive to Corvallis for another lively college-town vibe, Springfield gives variety without feeling isolated.
