About
The fundamental purpose of OHSU and The Department of Psychiatry is to improve well-being. Our work is part of OHSU's mission to deliver excellent education, research, patient care and service to the community.
In addition to being a part of the OHSU Brain Institute, we conduct laboratory and clinical research on all the most common mental health problems. We treat people with various forms of psychiatric disorders including sleep problems, substance abuse and addictions, mental health problems in children, adolescents and older adults (geriatric) and eating disorders, just to name a few. Our specialists care for people of every culture and background.
If you or your loved one would like to be evaluated for a behavioral health problem or mental health disorder, our caring and highly skilled tea will work with you to find the best psychiatric services for you. To make an appointment, please call 503 494-6176.
Giving to the Department of Psychiatry
It is now even easier to make a donation and show your support for the Department of Psychiatry at Oregon Health and Science University.
OHSU School of Medicine: OHSU is Oregon’s only medical school. As such, the school has a unique role to play in Oregon’s healthcare system. A key part of this is to ensure that Oregon has the highest quality and geographically well-distributed healthcare workforce possible. The school is also keenly interested in helping to create a workforce that reflects demographic diversity of all types — cultural, socio-economic and geographic. Oregon, like the rest of the nation, is facing a physician workforce shortage, especially in rural settings and in primary care specialties. The school has initiatives underway to address shortages and to enhance educational curriculum to future healthcare needs. Meeting the school's goals and Oregon’s needs will require campus expansion.
On the Marquam Hill campus in Portland, the school has already outgrown its space. Thanks to a gift of 20 acres of land on Portland’s South Waterfront from Schnitzer Investment Corp., plus an anonymous gift of $40 million to expand the school's new South Waterfront campus, the future looks bright for Oregon’s only academic health care center. But it will take an unprecedented partnership between public and private funders to realize the potential of the Schnitzer campus.
