Vision
Family medicine – every person, every need, everywhere in Oregon.
Mission
To build a healthier Oregon by investing in the education, leadership, and future of family physicians in every community.
Values
Generosity: We give freely of our time, knowledge, and resources to nurture the next generation of family physicians.
Access: We empower family physicians to bring inclusive, compassionate, full-spectrum, person-centered care to every community.
Collaboration: We collaborate with dedicated family medicine leaders and community partners to achieve our common goals.
Education: We cultivate curiosity as the foundation of lifelong learning, personal growth, and innovation.
Over the past twenty years, the OAFP/Foundation has actively supported medical students exploring rural family practice, medical students matching in Family Medicine Residency Programs and many family medicine student interest group activities. We’ve provided anti-tobacco education in elementary schools and local and regional ethics lectures.
Proceeds will go directly to mentorship, networking, education and scholarship programs and activities. Our goal is to raise funds from a variety of sources including generous contributions from our members, outside corporations and grants, and expand upon new opportunities for the next generation of family physicians – both medical students and Family Medicine Residents.
