On September 17, 2007 Oregon Health & Science University became a tobacco-free institution. We took this important step to create a healthier, more healing environment for our employees, students, patients and visitors. This site is intended to keep you informed about the initiative and provide you assistance and guidance in helping to support a tobacco-free OHSU.
