OHSU celebrated National Poetry Month in April this year with its fourth annual poetry contest and recognition event, sponsored by the OHSU Library. In the submission guidelines, poets were asked to focus on their OHSU experience, and the contest judges considered how well they expressed that theme – as well as artistic excellence and the poem’s relationship to health and healing.

Guests include:

Tracy Thornton

Office Manager, OHSU Library

Susannah Lujan-Bear

Assistant Nurse Manager 5A and 5C, OHSU Hospital

Sonja Halvorson

Student, OHSU School of Medicine

Kirsten Myers

Research Project Coordinator, Casey Eye Institute
