Portland Aerial Tram
The Portland Aerial Tram is an aerial tramway in Portland, Oregon, carrying commuters between the city's South Waterfront district and the main Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) campus, located in the Marquam Hill neighborhood. It is the second commuter aerial tramway in the United States (after New York City's Roosevelt Island Tramway). The tram travels a horizontal distance of 3,300 feet (1,000 m) and a vertical distance of 500 feet (150 m) in a ride that lasts three minutes.
The tram was jointly funded by OHSU, the city of Portland, and by South Waterfront property owners, with the bulk of the funding coming from OHSU. It is owned by the city and operated by OHSU. While the majority of passengers are affiliated with OHSU, it is open to the public and operated as part of Portland's public transportation network that includes the Portland Streetcar, MAX Light Rail, and TriMet buses. After opening in December 2006, the tram carried its one millionth passenger on October 17, 2007.
The tram cost $57 million to build—a nearly fourfold increase over initial cost estimates, which was one of several sources of controversy concerning the project. A round-trip tram ticket costs $4; the tram is free for OHSU employees, patients, students, and visitors.

National APAMSA | Region 8 Conference 2017
APAMSA’s Region VIII Conference was hosted by Oregon Health & Sciences University (OHSU) on February 25, 2017 at OHSU’s Collaborative Life Sciences Building. The conference opened with an introduction from the 2016 - 2017 region VIII co-directors, KieuYen Luu, Phuong-Vy Le, and Quang Truong followed by a brief background about national APAMSA given by Michelle Chen, APAMSA’s External Vice President. The keynote address was given by Joe Enlet, the senior policy liaison for the Multnomah County Health Department. Speaking about the healthcare disparities that are present in underrepresented ethnic communities in the state of Oregon, Joe emphasized the disparities to the Pacific Islander communities. The first breakout session followed the keynote address and attendees attended one of the three workshops offered: Kathy Wai representing the Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon (APANO) and held a workshop on how to extend healthcare to Oregonians who were previously denied access; Dr. Lynne Shinto held a workshop speaking about the access and care of alternative medicine; Lahaina Maylani Phillip gave a talk about her experiences with accessing healthcare as a Micronesian American. During lunch, there were posters being presented by Lee Nguyen, Karen Leung, and Tuong Pham from the University of California, Davis and Jonathan Sisley from Oregon State University. There was also a tabling event from the sponsors of this year’s region VIII conference, which included APANO, Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization (IRCO), OHSU’s Cell, Developmental and Cancer Biology, Radiation Medicine, OHSU Center for Inclusion and Diversity, and the United States Navy. The second breakout session began after lunch. Joe Enlet led a workshop on relational strategies for health advocacy and policy change where he gave an introduction on the advocacy work that is being done in Oregon to benefit the APIA community. Dr. Jessica Guh gave a lecture on the Asian Minority Myth Model and how it affects the advancement of Asian Americans in the workforce. Our final workshop was a panel from Dr. Jessica Guh, Joe Enlet, and Michelle Chen. The purpose of the panel was to provide an open discussion to attendees on the outlooks of the future of healthcare policies and how it will affect the APIA community. The conference concluded with special thanks to our sponsors and speakers. Not only did the conference provided attendees a better understanding of the needs of the APIA community, it also connect providers, community members, medical, undergraduates, and high school students from across Region VIII to one another. Students from University of Washington, UC Davis, Lewis & Clark, Portland State University, OHSU and Century High School were represented. Many ideas were exchanged on how to better represent and serve our communities. Once again Region VIII would like to thank Oregon Health Science University along with the many donors previously mentioned for their support!

The Four Most Broken Things in U.S. Healthcare and How to Fix Them
Presented on June 9, 2006
Dr. Donald D. Trunkey, Professor of Surgery, Oregon Health & Sciences University
The Four Most Broken Things in U.S. Health Care and How To Fix Them—by Someone Who Helped Make the Mess.
Join us on Friday, June 9, when City Club of Portland welcomes Dr. Donald D. Trunkey to the Friday Forum podium where he will speak frankly about what should be our top priorities related to health care. From skyrocketing costs to a shortage of professionals, from an increasing number of uninsured citizens to duplication and inefficiency in the system, Trunkey will help sort through the most important—but least effective—aspects of U.S. health care. More importantly, he will offer recommendations on health care reform from an insider's perspective.
An internationally renowned trauma surgeon and generally regarded as the father of modern trauma systems, Dr. Trunkey was one of the first surgeons to incorporate the concepts of preventable death methods and evidence-based practice in support of trauma systems. He shares his expertise and vast experience in research, education, and trauma care with OHSU staff and patients by remaining active on the trauma call schedule and advocating for improved trauma care not only at OHSU, but throughout the U.S. Most recently, Trunkey served as Chair at Oregon Health Sciences University Department of Surgery from 1986 to 2001, and as a founding member of both the Homeland Security Department and the National Foundation for Trauma Care.

Canyoneering at Oregon State University
Cool fact: Oregon State University is one of only two universities in the United States to offer a canyoneering course.
From traversing deep in the forest, to trekking through high desert and scaling rugged peaks and glaciers, each year 9,500 Oregon State University students experience all the Pacific Northwest – and beyond – has to offer.
These rare and unique experiences fall under the Physical Activity Course (PAC) Program and select Kinesiology courses – housed with the College of Public Health and Human Sciences – and are run through the university’s Adventure Leadership Institute™ (ALI). Adventures include rock climbing, rafting, canyoneering, hiking, wilderness first aid and backpacking.
Those interested in sharing their passion for outdoor adventures with others can obtain certification through the ALI Certificate Program. The program also pairs with Oregon State’s Leadership Minor and several academic majors.
The program draws on adventure leadership activities to teach technical skills, problem solving techniques, group development, social change and communication in a classroom unlike any other. The path to certification combines teaching experience and academic courses and activity courses as students work their way through one, two or three certificate levels.

A melting pot. For generations, children of all ages read this term in history books and knew it referred to America. The United States is a melting pot of society, of people and classes, of religion and ethnicities. This simple term represents the very backbone of our country’s founding. And yet, over two centuries after our founding, this concept remains one of our biggest sources of civil conflict as well. The weeks after September 11th saw a rise in intolerance in some areas of the nation, particularly of Muslim- and Arab-Americans. War with Iraq, situated in the heart of the Muslim world, has only exacerbated this problem. How has Islam become synonymous with extremism in the minds of so many? And what is it like to live, in our melting pot society, as an American of Muslim belief or of Arab descent? This Friday, City Club is proud to host a panel discussion with three Americans to explore the lives of Muslim and Arab-Americans in our society today. Shahriar Ahmed, originally from Bangladesh, serves as president of the Bilal Mosque Association of Beaverton. The Mosque caters to the religious and social needs of Muslims in the area. Imam Mikal Shabazz, a veteran of the Vietnam war, reverted to Islam in 1973. A pioneer in creating interfaith dialogue throughout Oregon, he currently serves as CEO of the Oregon Islamic Chaplains Organization, a non-profit providing religious services to incarcerated Muslims and their families. Gloria Tuma, an Arab-American of Lebanese descent, serves on numerous groups designed to create interfaith dialogue, including the Arab and Muslim Police Advisory Council. Don’t miss this personal and captivating discussion!

Oregon, Indigenous Nations, Manifest Destiny, and the Doctrine of Discovery
Presented by Robert J. Miller. Recorded live on July 29, 2019 at McMenamins Kennedy School in Portland, Oregon.
The “Doctrine of Discovery” is the modern-day name for the international law principle that European nations used to claim most of the non-European world. The Doctrine was applied against Native peoples in North America by England, France, Spain, Holland, and Russia. The United States adopted this legal principle and used it to claim the Oregon Country from other European countries and from the Indian Nations. This talk will explain the elements, or factors, that make up this international law and argue that the Doctrine of Discovery morphed into “American Manifest Destiny” and was used, and is still being used today, to justify the United States’ acquisition of the lands and assets of the Indian Nations and peoples.
Robert J. Miller is a professor at ASU College of Law. He is a justice on the Grand Ronde Tribe Court of Appeals and the Pascua Yaqui Tribe Court of Appeals, and was appointed in June 2016 to the Navajo Nation Council of Economic Advisors. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 2014 and to the American Law Institute in 2012. He is the author of three books: Discovering Indigenous Lands: The Doctrine of Discovery in the English Colonies; Reservation Capitalism: Economic Development in Indian Country and Native America, Discovered and Conquered: Thomas Jefferson, Lewis and Clark and Manifest Destiny. Bob is a citizen of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma.
