The Campaign for Women's Health at OHSU The OHSU Center for Women's Health is creating a completely new way in which the health of women can be understood, maintained, enhanced and explained.

THe OHSU Center for Women's Health is creating a completely new way in which the health of women can be understood, maintained, enhanced and explained. A $30 million fund-raising campaign supports the people, places and programs that will help make that vision real.

People: $10 million goal

This endowment will attract the best and the brightest women's health experts to Oregon ? people who bring with them tremendous skill and capabilities as well as successfully funded research that will multiply our economy by stimulating research growth and investment in our region. These leaders and researchers will be an asset to the Center and, in a much broader sense, to the women of the Northwest.

Place: $13 million goal

The new OHSU Center for Women's Health will be a revolution in 30,000 square feet. Integrating state-of-the-art and state-of-the-science technology, it will provide the space and resources necessary to deliver excellent preventive and clinical care, to enable progressive research, and to encourage continuing education ? all in one remarkable and beautiful location.

Programs: $7 million goal

This goal includes three areas of focus: research, clinical care and outreach.

Research:

The Center hopes to fundamentally change the ways research into women's health issues is conceived, conducted and applied. For the first time, the power and potential of Oregon's only health and research university and the energy and expertise of its best women's health experts will be specifically applied to the needs and concerns of women.

Clinical care:

For most women, receiving clinical care is a confusing, disempowering process of seeking out different specialists and then following doctors' orders. Clinical care at the OHSU Center for Women's Health will be very different. It will be about bringing the broadest range of resources directly to women and letting them participate in their own care. And the Center will support many complementary modes of care ? high-tech, high-touch, traditional, alternative, wellness, mental health and nutrition, for example.

Community outreach

Health education in all its forms and for many different audiences will be a vital part of the Center. In the years ahead, the Center's educational impact will expand exponentially through major new community outreach programs and projects.
