OHSU School of Medicine Dean Sharon Anderson, a nephrologist, has cared for patients like Richard Waliser at the VA Portland Health Care System since coming to OHSU 26 years ago – and she continues to do so, even as dean. “She’s very practical, easy to talk with,” said Waliser, who has survived on dialysis for 28 years. “She makes you feel like when you’re talking, you have something to say.” (OHSU/Erin Hoover Barnett)
