Do you know what an ombuds is? Do you know what an ombuds does?

Did you know OHSU has one?

Since December 2020, Nic Lendino has been in the role, which they previously described as "offering a safe space for confidential, neutral and informal reception of any OHSU faculty, employee, learner or volunteer with a concern about their experience or role at OHSU."

There's more, and Nic was kind enough to join us and expand upon on the importance of their role and how the ombuds can be a valued and trusted resource at OHSU.

The last two-plus years have been a lot. So much, in fact, that it's hard to answer an innocent question like the one posed in the title in an honest and meaningful way. How do you deal with all of the recent change, stressors and crises - especially at work? With their Wellness Consults for Teams and Leaders service, psychologists Sara Walker and Sydney Ey are tackling this topic at OHSU.

Who is eligible: Any manager/leader at OHSU (across all missions) can reach out to our Consult Service to discuss the wellness needs of their team and request more information about the supportive listening sessions and/or workshop our facilitators can offer to them.
