The Cascade Chapter of the Health Physics Society has turned 50! Over the years, the Cascade Chapter has grown and evolved, adapting to the changing landscape of radiation safety and health physics. We are grateful for the continued support of our sponsoring affiliates who have been instrumental in our success. Thank you, Rotunda Scientific Technologies LLC, Boeing, LabLogic, Ludlum, Oregon Health & Science University, ThermoFisher, Oregon State University, Reed College, and the University of Washington. Your contributions have enabled us to host events, support research, and provide valuable resources to our members.

The 2023–2024 year marks the first since COVID where our chapter has returned to hosting two in-person meetings annually. These meetings were held at Oregon State University and Reed University, providing valuable networking and learning opportunities for our members and the upcoming generation of health physicists.

As we continue to adapt and grow, the Cascades Chapter remains committed to advancing the field of health physics and supporting our members in their professional endeavors. Looking ahead, we are excited about the upcoming events and initiatives that will further our mission and engage our community. Thank you for your ongoing support and participation in our chapter activities.
