Where healing, teaching, discovery – and caring – come together Academic health centers are where medical advances are made. They are where world-class scientists, teachers, students and clinical experts work side by side. As Oregon’s premier health and research university, and its only academic health center, OHSU is the region’s health and science knowledge leader. But it is not the quest for knowledge alone that drives OHSU’s experts – it’s the opportunity to help people, and to offer new hope. The power of knowledge and hope is why OHSU inspires the support of philanthropic partners whose contributions help make this vital work possible and enhance its meaning.
