An Osteopathic Medical School serving the Pacific Northwest. What started as a conversation around a table in 2004 to address critical health care shortages in the five-state region of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska soon became Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences through the tireless efforts of dedicated and generous founders. Today the university is a four-year postgraduate institution, and its college of osteopathic medicine is one of 26 schools of osteopathic medicine nationally. The first students entered the university in the fall of 2008, and thus the spring of 2012 will mark the graduation of the university’s first class. With its founding, the university and its college of osteopathic medicine became the Pacific Northwest`s first new medical school in 60 years. It will substantially increase the number of new practicing physicians each year and prepare a new generation of doctors to serve the five million at-risk people in the area’s underserved communities. Located in the city of Yakima, in the heart of Central Washington, the university is two hours east of Seattle, three hours west of Spokane, and three hours northeast of Portland, Oregon.

With the establishment of the University of Vermont Foundation, UVM has signaled its intent to become more engaged in the broader scope of American philanthropy. Incorporated in 2011, the UVM Foundation is empowered to perform a wide range of services and conduct a variety of activities that support the University in its mission of teaching, research, and public service. The Foundation offers influential and committed alumni and other donors the opportunity to serve UVM in ways that did not previously exist, focusing their collective influence, experience, and energy on realizing the UVM Foundation mission. With a bottom line focus and singular attention to philanthropy, the Foundation board will inspire greater support from the institution`s top donors and extend the ability of the professional staff to engage donors in fundraising efforts. At the same time, the UVM Foundation will shift the burden of development expenses from the University`s general fund to the Foundation, increasing the amount of discretionary general-fund dollars available to the institution.
