Davenport speaks at next Legacy League event Jan. 17
George Fox’s new physician assistant (PA) program, set to launch in January of 2021, will be featured at the university’s Legacy League luncheon at noon on Friday, Jan. 17, in the Canyon Commons dining hall.
Gregory Davenport, chair of the School of Medical Science, will speak. The PA program will be affiliated with nearby clinics and is designed to help alleviate a nationwide shortage of physician assistants. Six professors and three staff already are hired for the program.
The Legacy League, previously known as the George Fox University Auxiliary, was renamed two years ago but serves with the same purpose and mission. Each year it raises funds for student scholarships, raising more than $25,000 last year. Funds are added to an endowment fund that last year provided three scholarships.
Reservations for the luncheon are $10 and must be made by Wednesday, Jan. 15. For information or to RSVP, contact Judy Woolsey at 503-538-7314 or Connie Magee at 503-927-5011, or register online here.
