The OHSU Foundation has appointed Greg Ness as its new board chair, along with four new ex-officio members of the board of trustees.

The OHSU Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of trustees comprising civic and business leaders who help develop goals and policies for the foundation to ignite the power of philanthropy in support of OHSU’s missions.
