OHSU Give Day 2023 is over, but you can still support OHSU
Doernbecher Children's Hospital


“They were there for me throughout my whole pregnancy and were always checking in. They would act immediately if they noticed something might be wrong.

– Adriana Romero Villarreal

Oregon's #1 children's hospital

Ask the families who have benefitted from the life-saving care at OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital, and they’ll be the first to tell you: Doernbecher is a place like no other. U.S. News and World Report agrees, ranking Doernbecher among the best children’s hospitals in the nation. Here’s what else sets Doernbecher apart:  

  • The region’s ONLY National Cancer Institute Designated Cancer Center for Phase 1 clinical trials of pediatric cancer patients
  • Oregon’s ONLY provider of bone marrow transplants for children  
  • The most comprehensive fetal therapy program between San Francisco and Seattle 
  • Oregon’s ONLY pediatric kidney transplant service   
  • The #1 referral center for cleft palates and craniofacial problems in Oregon  
  • FIRST dedicated children’s hospital to install an intraoperative (“in surgery”) MRI suite 
  • Home to the state’s ONLY dedicated center for the treatment of cystic fibrosis  

OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital plays a vital role in the region, offering care and expertise that can’t be found at most local hospitals. It’s the kind of resource that can make a life-or-death difference for the region’s youngest residents.

The children who rely on Doernbecher also rely on you—because none of this is possible without generous donor support. Please make a gift today!

Your gift of $10 or more (and up to $5,000) will be DOUBLED up to $25,000 to support pediatric cancer care and research at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, thanks to the generous support of American International Forest Products. Help us UNLOCK an additional $15,000 for pediatric cancer care and research when we reach 150 gifts – every gift matters!



Thank You!
