Empowering Osteopathic Healers.
Transforming Communities.
At the heart of our foundation is a dedicated mission to increase access to care and address the critical shortage of physicians in underserved communities.
The Northwest Osteopathic Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving access to quality, whole-person healthcare in underserved communities by empowering the next generation of compassionate osteopathic physicians to ensure equitable healthcare for all.
Serving communities throughout the Northwest, including Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington – in partnership with osteopathic associations and the colleges of osteopathic medicine – the Foundation provides scholarships and programs tailored to meet the needs of the region.
Your support ensures the growth of vital programs for osteopathic students and advocacy for the essential role of DOs (Doctors of Osteopathic) in healthcare.
By partnering with us, you have an opportunity to directly impact the next generation of osteopathic physicians and the communities they serve. Become a part of our legacy and make a difference.
Principles of Osteopathic Medicine
The body is a unit; the person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit.
The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance.
Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.
Rational treatment is based upon an understanding of the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function.
