Company Profile

Company Overview

Since its founding more than a century ago, Oregon Health & Science University has grown into a world-class teaching hospital and research center that draws in students, scientists, and patients from across the country and around the world. At the same time, it retains its strong commitment to serving the local community, and to treating each patient as a unique individual. As the State's only health and research university, OHSU brings together patient care, research, education of the next generation of health care providers, and scientists to improve the health and well-being of all Oregonians. Its mission is both fundamental and profound: to improve the health and well-being of the state and its citizens.

The OHSU Foundation exists to secure private philanthropic support to advance OHSU's vital missions, and to invest and manage gifts responsibly to honor donors’ wishes. Each year tens of thousands of donors contribute millions of dollars in financial support to OHSU through this organization.
The Foundation also oversees the efforts of hundreds of volunteers who participate in community-based fund-raising programs and events supporting OHSU. This broad range of support places OHSU among Oregon’s top beneficiaries of private philanthropy.
