Legacy Health Foundation

In August 2023, OHSU and Legacy announced their intent to combine and create an integrated health system. After careful consideration of the evolving operating environment, we have determined that the best way to meet the needs of our patients and communities is to move forward as individual organizations. Going forward, Legacy will remain focused on our individual strategic objectives.  

As you may know, this combination would have resulted in an independent, community-led foundation. Because this was contingent on the transaction closing, the new foundation will not be created, and Legacy Health and its affiliated foundations will continue to operate as we do today. Additionally, Legacy is committed to engaging with community to identify new ways we can partner on community programs and initiatives that align with our mutual goal of broadening access to care and achieving health equity. 

Legacy Health appreciates the engagement of our employees, community members and partners, who have dedicated time to this process and shared their valuable ideas and perspectives. We will continue to work with communities across Oregon and Southwest Washington to create meaningful, positive impacts for generations to come.
