Thank You for Shining a Light on OU during Black & Gold Giving Day! The day has ended but you can still support Oakland University HERE.
School of Health Sciences
Support the School of Health Sciences

Oakland University’s School of Health Sciences provides an exceptional environment of collaborative, academic and clinical learning to nearly 1,800 undergraduate, master's, doctoral, and post-professional students. Deeply rooted in a foundational model of the natural and behavioral sciences, we transform students into leaders and impact the needs of our communities in diverse wellness and health-related practices. 

Double the impact of your gift by supporting the Doherty Oncology Rehab Endowed Scholarship fund. Dr. Deb Doherty brought oncology rehabilitation to OU’s Physical Therapy program, co-edited the cutting edge textbook “Oncology Rehabilitation: A Comprehensive Guidebook for Clinicians," and passionately treats patients diagnosed with cancer at her own Center for Survivorship. Upon co-developing the oncology rehabilitation graduate certificate, she created this scholarship fund to support those pursuing this field.

Give today to support students pursuing physical therapy careers to assist and treat patients with a current or past cancer diagnosis. “There’s such a great need to help people return to as close to normal - what we call their new normal - as possible and improve their quality of life.” Support this special scholarship fund now and double your impact! 


Oncology Rehab PT Scholarship (DORPT)

Thanks to a donation from Deb Doherty gifts up to $1,400 will be matched.

This fund will be used to establish an endowment for Oncology Rehab PT scholarships.

Success!
