Changes Necessary to Improve Alzheimer's Care (an
article by Oregon Public Broadcasting)
As you get older,
you may visit your doctor one day and end up taking a few tests that measure
your memory and cognition skills. Research on diagnosing Alzheimer's disease
suggests that those kinds of tests administered during routine office
visits could improve the ability of doctors to catch developing symptoms
of the disease. If you ask anyone at the OHSU Layton Center for Aging
and Alzheimer's Disease Research what challenges health care professionals
face in treating Alzheimer's they will surely mention the importance of
recognizing and diagnosing the disease at an early stage. To read more
about what OHSU’s Jeffrey Kaye, M.D., Linda Boise, Ph.D., and Karen
Talerico, Ph.D., R.N., C.N.S., are accomplishing at the Alzheimer’s
center, read the OPB article at:

Careful Planning Pays Off
Make a gift and earn
income from it? Give to the School of Nursing at next to no cost to you?
Sounds too good to be true, but several vehicles are available to benefit
both the school and the donor. Planned gifts provide customized opportunities
for many donors to benefit during their lifetime. There are many options
outside of bequests. Planned gifts can strengthen the donor's position
and benefit school. OHSU Foundation has a top-notch, well-experienced
planned giving office, so donors don't need to be experts about these
complex giving vehicles. The foundation is available to work closely with
individual donors to find giving options that fit each individual situation.
So before you decide that you cannot afford to support the School of Nursing,
take a look at:
http://www.ohsu.edu/about/ohsufoundation/planned_giving/index.html
and give us a call at 503 494-7525. You may be surprised to see the benefits
of a well-planned gift.
