Physical Therapy Events
We Help Build Strong Communities
As part of our commitment to empowering individuals and communities, we consistently invite the citizens of Newberg and surrounding areas to participate in events that promote health and wellness.
Whether it’s a pool party for children, a dinner to raise funds for our annual Africa service trips, or a Health and Wellness Week, we’re always looking for ways to share the resources we offer.
We also offer high-quality clinical, academic and evidence-based educational programs for clinical instructors and physical therapists. These continuing education events focus on promoting professional excellence and innovative practice.
And if you’re a prospective student, be sure to check out one of our information meetings to find out more about our program and get all your questions answered.
