Nestled in the hillside of Portland's West Hills, OHSU Doernbecher was specially designed to incorporate nature throughout the building. This helps to relax our pediatric patients and inspire a spirit of calm and healing. Inside the children's hospital, the pediatric specialists of OHSU Doernbecher are dedicated to the healing and well-being of children and work with families to meet their child's individual pediatric healthcare needs.

OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital has over 1,000 pediatric doctors, child specialists, nurses and staff who are specially trained to work with kids and are focused on all aspects of medical care for children, not just serious injury or illness.
