    One more reason to love @CJMcCollum and our Portland @TrailBlazers: Last week, CJ found out one of our patients would soon lose his leg to cancer and sent him this encouraging video. Thanks to Atticus and his mom, @IreneLVeldstra, for letting us share it. #RipCity #Osteosarcoma

    "Today after a hard day, I went for coffee and watched this National Guard member walk up to the piano and begin to play. It brought me to emotion. Thank you to the Nat. Guard, OHSU staff, and everyone helping in the pandemic surge. This was a moment of gratitude in a hard day."

    We’d like to thank the Portland demonstrators for keeping roads open so our patients can get safely to and from their appointments, and we can get essential medical supplies from the South Waterfront to Marquam Hill. #FamiliesBelongTogether

    Replying to @choo_ek
    (1/2) Because this statement was made on Dr. Choo’s personal Twitter account and she does not purport to represent the views of OHSU, this communication does not violate any OHSU policy or prohibition.

    This week, Howard Loyd officiated his grandson's wedding with a little help from the team on 12K. Mr. Loyd is a pastor of 47 years and has had the privilege of marrying his four children and almost all of his 13 grandchildren. We were honored to be a part of this lovely ceremony!
