What we aim to solve
We're working to transform human health by connecting donors with the important work being done at Oregon Health & Science University: Defeating cancer. Ending preventable blindness. Healing kids. Finding novel therapies for multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Investigating the causes of ADHD and autism. Educating tomorrow's health care leaders in the schools of medicine, dentistry, nursing and public health. Expanding OHSU's rural and global presence.

Health Care
OHSU Foundation funding enables OHSU to conduct research, educate medical professionals, and provide health care for people from across the Pacific Northwest. OHSU encompasses two teaching hospitals, including Doernbecher Children's Hospital, four professional educational programs - in medicine, nursing, dentistry and pharmacy; and numerous specialty programs and research centers including the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, the OHSU Cardiovascular Institute, the OHSU Center for Women's Health, the Casey Eye Institute, the Parkinson Center of Oregon, the Layton Aging and Alzheimer's Disease Center and the Center for Ethics in Health Care. The OHSU Foundation also manages the assets of the Medical Research Foundation, which grants yearly awards to help fund promising research in Oregon and awards outstanding Oregon educators and scientists.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The OHSU Foundation launched the second phase of the ONWARD campaign in October 2015, following the successful conclusion to the Knight Cancer Challenge which began in July 2013. The campaign will raise more than $2 billion for OHSU by 2020 to transform human health. We’re already more than halfway to our goal thanks to the $1 billion raised during the Challenge, and the completed fundraising of the Gary & Christine Rood Family Pavilion, which will provide out-of-town families in crisis a place to stay while receiving specialized care at OHSU.
