Commitment remains, name changes
Oregon Baptist Retirement Homes has become Parkview Christian Retirement Community. Located at 1825 N.E. 108th Ave. since 1995, this vibrant, active retirement community is changing its name to better attract those who will enjoy the park-like setting and convivial surroundings.

It will retain its affiliation with the Baptist church, but because the community serves residents of all faiths, operators believe the name change better reflects this. In addition, because it is more than simply a retirement home, it has changed the name to showcase the community aspect of living at Parkview. Its commitment to providing a healthy, engaged lifestyle to seniors remains unchanged.

To learn more or to tour Parkview Christian Retirement Community, please call 503-255-7160.

Adventist Medical Center will sponsor first aid for this year's Southeast Portland Relay for Life on Friday, Aug. 14 at Floyd Light Middle School, 10800 S.E. Washington St. A longtime supporter of the annual American Cancer Society fundraiser, Adventist will provide first-aid supplies and volunteer support for the event. Additionally, Adventist has lined up patient and physician keynote speakers to share cancer survivor testimonials and offer cancer-prevention education during the event.

Adventist welcomes the opportunity to be part of the American Cancer Society's neighborhood event and to advocate for oncology education and prevention, while honoring those who have battled the disease. The regional nonprofit hospital treated nearly 200 radiation oncology patients last year alone, and provided cancer prevention and education services to hundreds more.
