Annual OASIS Memory Lecture a Big Success!

Dr. Susan Rose, Legacy Geriatrician, spoke to OASIS participants on Saturday, April 25th at Good Samaritan Hospital and shared ways to improve and perserve memory skills.  The crowd was enthusiastic and gave the program "rave" reviews.  OASIS plans more Saturday events beginning in the Fall of 2009 at the OASIS Center in the Macy's downtown Portland store as well as occasional Saturday wellness lectures at the hospital.
