A New Era of Possibilities<\/h2>\n

WesternU College of Health Sciences-Northwest (CHS-Northwest) opened in 2021 with a Physical Therapy Program. This new location at 2665 S. Santiam Hwy in Lebanon has ushered in a new era of possibilities for our students and community members. As a new state-of-the-art location, faculty have been afforded the opportunity to create a comprehensive curriculum that features authentic learning and hands-on courses. Small class sizes provide students with greater access to faculty for individualized instruction. We are a family within our community and we are dedicated to providing compassionate, student-focused, patient-centered health care.<\/p>\n
