Call Oregon Health & Science University at +1-503-494-8311. Ask them to stop U.S. Postal Service mail from OHSU Marketing and Communications for the name and address on the mailer.
A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on the phone tree, hold time, and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
- Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. An offer already labeled can still arrive.
- Care and bills are separate. Stopping marketing mail does not stop an appointment reminder, lab result, or patient bill.
- A later list add-back can start it again. A later gift, event, or clinic visit can put the address back on a marketing file.
Why Do You Receive Oregon Health & Science University Mail?
Oregon Health & Science University is Oregon’s only public academic health center. It runs hospitals and clinics across Oregon and southwest Washington, plus schools of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, and public health. Scientists there work on cancer care, stroke research, and other therapies. OHSU is Portland’s largest employer and a statewide economic engine. As a public organization it also treats the most vulnerable Oregonians and does outreach across the state. The leftover mail is a marketing offer from OHSU Marketing and Communications, not a patient bill.
You get that mail if you were a patient, gave a gift, asked about a program, or landed on a list they mail. The leftover offer is often a campaign for a clinic you already left.
How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively
-
DMAchoice
DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. An $8 registration asks about 1,100 participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail for 10 years. It does not cover local mailers, charity appeals, companies you already buy from, or occupant / current-resident saturation mail. Allow 90 days or longer.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from Oregon Health & Science University as it is not an active member of the ANA.
-
OptOutPrescreen
OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for 5 years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of Oregon Health & Science University mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.
-
PaperKarma
For local and regional mailers, coupon packs, charity donation requests, and the large share of junk mail that DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app has the largest U.S. registry, with over 100,000 mailers on file.
Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops Oregon Health & Science University marketing mail. It does not always stop the underlying address from being shared. If you live in a state with an active consumer privacy law (California’s CCPA and several others), you can request access to or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of sale, share, or targeted advertising.
Go to the Home Mail Preference page, or call +1-503-494-8311, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of promotional mail. Patient records stay on a separate HIPAA path.
Frequently asked questions
How long until Oregon Health & Science University mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If an offer arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed. Appointment, lab, and billing mail can still arrive.
How do I stop Oregon Health & Science University mail for a previous resident?
Call Oregon Health & Science University at +1-503-494-8311 and include that person’s name and this address, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the mailer, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.
Will Oregon Health & Science University mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. A USPS forward can send a few more packets to the new address. Call again for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
