OHSU receives $25 million donation to launch nutrition institute

Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) announced a $25 million philanthropic partnership with Bob and Charlee Moore — founders of Milwaukie, Ore.-based Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods — to confront what is widely considered to be the world's greatest contributor to the rise of chronic disease: poor nutrition.

The Moores' $25 million commitment will establish the Bob and Charlee Moore Institute for Nutrition and Wellness at OHSU. Its ambitious aim: to halt the rampant health problems caused by unhealthy eating and inadequate nutrition through cutting-edge research and community outreach.
