OHSU & the Environment
As the largest employer in Portland, OHSU serves as a leader among health care institutions in its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. For example, did you know:
  • South Waterfront's Center for Health & Healing earned LEED Platinum
  • Kohler Pavilion was constructed following the environmentally focused Green Guide to Healthcare
  • OHSU recycling services are free
  • OHSU saves money using natural resources wisely while protecting the environment

Raising environmental awareness and taking action can occur in a variety of ways. Such as adding recycling services to your department, attending GreenTeam's monthly meetings, or joining a No Ivy pulling event, members feel good about being involved with the GreenTeam.
