About the Oley Foundation (www.oley.org)
Founded in 1983 by Lyn Howard, MD, and her patient Clarence “Oley” Oldenburg, the Oley Foundation helps people who are
dependent on
 Home parenteral nutrition (HPN), in which solutions are infused directly into the bloodstream via IV, and
 Home enteral nutrition (HEN), in which formula is delivered by tube into the stomach or intestinal tract
Oley enriches the lives of those requiring home intravenous and tube feeding through education, outreach, and networking. The Oley
Foundation is a national, independent, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. A copy of the foundation’s latest New York State Report is
available at www.charitiesnys.com.
