OHSU is a regional leader in heart and vascular clinical care, research, and teaching. The Knight Cardiovascular Institute was established in 2012 with a $125 million gift from Nike co-founder Phil Knight and Penny Knight. We integrate clinical care, translational research, and professional training in cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and vascular surgery.

Oregon Health & Science University is dedicated to improving the health and quality of life for all Oregonians through excellence, innovation and leadership in health care, education and research.
