About Us
The section of Health Promotion & Sports Medicine was established in 1994 by clinicians united in their interest in exercise as medical therapy and advancing the understanding of promoting healthy lifestyles. The section, its Human Performance Clinic and research activities are a unique aspect of the Division of General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics at OHSU.
