Description

Dr. Sejal Hathi on a statewide listening tour shortly after being hired as the director of the Oregon Health Authority.

Dr. Sejal Hathi, former head of the Oregon Health Authority, was unaware that the Oregon State Hospital had been isolating psychiatric patients for months at a time in 2024. A state investigation found she had not reviewed a consultant’s report that flagged the problem, even though she’d hired the consultant herself.
