OASIS, founded in 1982 on the premise of community collaboration, begins a five-year contractual commitment with PeaceHealth as the new Gerontology Institute at Sacred Heart Medical Center unfolds. PeaceHealth is building on the success of its senior programs by establishing the Gerontology Institute, and OASIS will work with the Institute to offer PeaceHealth's health education programs.

The award-winning OASIS Tutoring Program continues its expansion into rural areas, as well as full service to Eugene 4J and Springfield. Now serving Pleasant Hill, Cottage Grove, Junction City, and Harrisburg, the program needs even more tutors to positively impact self-esteem and make a positive impact in the lives of more than 200 first through third graders in 27 schools. Comprehensive training and ongoing support provided. No previous experience necessary. Tutor Ila Dickson says, "It's fun! I get to tell everybody I know I get to go to school. I say, 'Why don't you try it too?" OASIS Sponsors
