About OHSU Center for Women's Health
OHSU Center for Women's Health, a National Center for Excellence and the only one on the west coast, was built on the vision and savvy of exceptional women in the community. These women urged OHSU to create a new model to improve women's health - a "one-stop shop" where holistic care, research, education, and public policy could come together. In 1997 the Center was launched, and in less than a decade it has become a national model.

This new facility, located in the Peter O. Kohler Pavilion, contains state of the art technology blended with a setting designed by women for women. Included in the 30,000 square foot Center is a Meditation Terrace Garden with sculptures and fountains overlooking the Willamette Valley.
