Doernbecher and Kiwanis
Doernbecher Children’s Hospital is
Oregon and Southwest Washington’s
premier children’s hospital.
It provides the widest range of health care
services for children. As the pediatric arm of
OHSU, its staff conducts world-class research
into childhood illnesses and trains tomorrow’s
pediatricians.
The support of the Kiwanis
Doernbecher Children’s Cancer Program (KDCCP)
Greater Portland Golf Tournament enables the
Doernbecher staff to provide the most advanced
therapies to children battling cancer.
Doernbecher cares for more than 80
percent of all Oregon’s young cancer patients
and is the only provider of pediatric bone
marrow/stem cell transplants in Oregon and
Southwest Washington.
Doernbecher is also one of 21 institutions
in the nation - and one of only four west of
the Mississippi River - designated as a Phase
I pediatric research hospital by the National
Cancer Institute.
This designation means
that the children of Oregon and Southwest
Washington have access to the newest pediatric
cancer treatments before they are more widely
available. Without Doernbecher, children
would have to go to Seattle or San Francisco
for comparable care.
Forty years ago a child with leukemia had a 15
percent chance of surviving six months. Today, 78
percent with cancer will survive due to advances
made at research hospitals like Doernbecher.
None of this would be possible without the
outstanding dedication and generosity of all of
you. Last year with your help the 11th Annual
Doernbecher Golf Tournament raised over
$33,000 for Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.
