C hoose any moment of
any day and you’ll find
thousands of us at work.
OHSU torchbearers, united by the
singular vision to improve the health
and wellbeing of those we serve —
today, and in the future.
By design, OHSU can focus on health
in a way few other universities or
health care systems can. We’re a
public university devoted entirely
to education and research in health
sciences, and we serve our region’s
health needs as Oregon’s only
academic health center.
Shaped by Portland’s renowned
creative culture, we’ve learned that
transforming health for Oregonians
often lights the way for improving
health everywhere. So, each day, we
imagine what could be. We roll up our
sleeves. And we galvanize others to
join us. Because every moment counts.
Our torch never dims
Healing
OHSU is the top choice
of Oregonians for life-
threatening illnesses
and injuries. We offer
the largest number of
specialists and sub-
specialists in the region,
with teams trained in
complex care. We partner
with community hospitals
to bring more services to
more Oregonians.
Teaching
Oregon depends on OHSU
to train a significant
portion of the doctors,
dentists, scientists, public
health professionals,
nurses and others who
improve health in
their communities and
around the world. Our
interdisciplinary studies
create a close-knit student
community.
Discovery
Renowned scientists
are drawn to OHSU
by our track record of
research success and
our willingness to take
on some of the toughest
questions in medicine. We
are pushing the pace of
discovery for better health.
Outreach
OHSU is a public entity
that holds out a promise
to Oregonians to
improve their health and
wellbeing. To do this,
OHSU partners with more
than 200 community
service programs across
the state, with public
agencies, and with other
universities and hospitals.
