ThinkFirst Oregon is part of OHSU's Neurology Department as well as a member to the national ThinkFirst non-profit organization that was founded by neurosurgeons. ThinkFirst's mission is to educate young people about their ability to prevent brain and spinal cord injuries. ThinkFirst Oregon provides powerful and upbeat programs to students of all ages to educate about personal vulnerability and the importance of making safe choices. The program focuses on the topics of pedestrian, vehicular safety, concussion prevention,bicycle, violence, sports & recreational, and water safety. We also participate in community events around the state of Oregon. Recently, we received the training and license to teach volunteers to coach "A Matter of Balance" senior fall prevention program.
