President's Message

2021 was a year of continued transition for University of Western States. After relocating our entire campus and clinic operations in 2020, this past year we expanded our academic program offerings, initiated transformational curricular revisions, and implemented a new state-of-theart online learning platform. And, we navigated the impacts of a global pandemic.

We engaged the entire campus community in gatherings dedicated to listening to each other, exploring opportunities to grow and thrive, and imagining our future as the premier integrated health education institution. While we must adapt to unexpected change, we seek to create our own brilliant destiny. Tomorrow’s solutions arise from fresh ideas and creative innovations. We approach this adventure with ongoing commitment to diversity and equity, and upholding our core values of student focus, professionalism, best practices, whole-person health, curiosity and inclusivity. I look forward to sharing with you the fruits of these developments as they are realized.

OPEN HOUSE

Our new campus is located in the vibrant Madison South neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, at Tillamook Street and NE 82nd Ave. The contemporary campus facilities offer students enhanced learning spaces, with an advanced clinic space that is home to our Connected Whole Health clinic. I am excited to invite you to our Campus Open House to be held on Saturday, April 23, 2022. Doors open at 12 p.m. We are hosting an interactive Health and Well-Being Fair to highlight the UWS clinic services. There will be guided tours of campus, along with information about UWS educational programs and our community services.

I invite you to join us for this event. If you are unable to come in person, please enjoy a virtual tour via a video with information about the campus. We are pleased to honor the partnerships and the generous donors of all who have helped make the new UWS campus possible.

On behalf of the entire University of Western State community, I wish you peace, success and health.

Kind regards,

Joseph Brimhall, DC President and CEO
