Company History
Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), a public university in Portland, was first formed in 1887 when the University of Oregon chartered a state medical school in Portland and began the University of Oregon Medical department. In 1974 it became an independent university — the University of Oregon Health Sciences Center — and took its current name of Oregon Health & Science University in 2001.
Benefits
As one of Portland’s premier employers, OHSU is committed to providing comprehensive, affordable and customizable benefits for our employees. Our total rewards package includes benefits that meet the essential health needs of employees and their families, help secure a strong financial future and enhance wellbeing.
Our benefits program gives employees the opportunity to choose the level of insurance coverage that best suits their unique needs and offers a variety of coverage options at reasonable cost to the employee. Additionally, we offer generous paid time off, many financial savings opportunities and those extra perks that make balancing work and personal life a little easier.
The primary benefit of working at OHSU, however, can’t be measured in insurance coverage or vacation days. When you join OHSU, you join a team of dedicated caregivers, educators, researchers and administrative professionals who are working toward one goal: Improving the health and well-being of all Oregonians. Making that kind of a difference, in one life or a million, is often its own reward.
