OHSU Give Day 2023 is over, but you can still support OHSU
School of Medicine


“OHSU will leave its impression on me long after I graduate. I’ll leave with new relationships and a deeper understanding of how to incorporate public health into medicine.”

– Lenora Waconda, M.P.H., M.D. Class of 2025

Support tomorrow’s health care leaders


Students at OHSU are adapting to new realities—and facing significant financial hardships.

  • Meet Oregon’s changing needs

Your generous support makes a difference for OHSU School of Medicine students and for the future of health.
