Portland State University, together with Oregon Health & Science University, just launched OCEBHA: Oregon’s Center of Excellence in Behavior Health & Aging (oregonbhi.org/center-for-excellence). The focus of the center is “to address the behavioral health needs of Oregon’s aging population by improving access to services and supports.”
With involvement from the PSU Institute on Aging, PSU School of Social Work, OHSU-PSU School of Public Health, OHSU School of Medicine, and OHSU School of Nursing, let’s hope for greater education, awareness, and a pipeline of professionals dedicated to improving the lives of our aging Oregonians.
Details are few, but you can sign up for their newsletter to stay informed.
