Dear Friends,

As we reflect

on the Center’s

accomplish-

ments in the

2018-19

academic year, we pause to

express our gratitude to those

who so generously give of their

time. In partnership with our

volunteers, our impact is

manyfold greater. The

contributions of hundreds of

volunteers range from teaching

medical students, serving on

planning committees, speaking

at conferences, facilitating

fundraising events, making

compassion quilts, starring in

videos, drafting policy,

teaching the next generation of

health care professionals, and

so much more.

Our impact is made possible by

the dedication, skill and caring

of each of our volunteers.

Thank you for sharing your

time and talents with the Center

and those we serve.

With gratitude,

Susan W. Tolle, MD

Dr. Tyler Tate to Direct Professionalism and Comfort Care The Center for Ethics in Health Care is delighted to partner with the OHSU Pediatric

Palliative Care Program in sharing Dr. Tate's time so that he can pursue his love of both

palliative medicine and medical ethics. Dr. Tate completed his residency in pediatrics,

fellowship in clinical ethics and MA in bioethics at the University of Washington, and a

fellowship in palliative care at Duke University. Since joining the OHSU faculty in

September 2018, he has published five manuscripts and presented at one international

and two national meetings. With funding from an endowment established by donors in

memory of Miles J. Edwards, we are very pleased to welcome Dr. Tate on July 1, 2019

as the Center’s new Director of Professionalism and Comfort Care.

Dr. Ron Naito Establishes a Directorship in Serious Illness Education The Center for Ethics in Health Care is deeply honored to announce the establishment of

the Ronald W. Naito Directorship in Serious Illness Education with a $1-million gift

from the Ronald W. Naito, MD Foundation to launch the endowment fund. It is

Dr. Naito's hope that his lead gift will inspire others to contribute an additional $1.5

million to raise the Serious Illness Endowment Fund to the level of an endowed chair.

Dr. Katie Stowers will serve as the inaugural Ronald W. Naito Director in Serious

Illness Education.

The Kinsman Foundation Supports Statewide Conferences With generous support from The Kinsman Foundation, the Center recently hosted the

annual statewide Kinsman Bioethics Conference in Eugene. A highlight for the Oregon

bioethics community, this conference draws healthcare professionals from across the

state to gather, collaborate and share innovative practices. This year, under the

leadership of Lynn A. Jansen, PhD, RN, Madeline Brill Nelson Chair of Ethics

Education, the Center partnered with PeaceHealth Eugene and the University of Oregon

to build the conference theme, “Raising Voices: The Ethics of Dialogue and

Communication in Health Care.” Conference breakout sessions focused on the

challenges experienced by marginalized populations in healthcare.

In addition to the annual Kinsman Bioethics Conference, the Center is partnering with

communities throughout the state, finding new ways to empower regional leaders to

improve support for honoring patients’ wishes as they near the end of their lives.

Save the Date: Celebrate the Center for Ethics 30th Anniversary The 2019 Center for Ethics Annual Community luncheon will be held on September 16,

2019 from 11:30 AM to 1 PM at the Multnomah Athletic Club. We hope you will save

the date and join us to celebrate the impact of the Center’s first 30 years and share our

vision for the future.
