children's hospital. It provides the widest range of health care services for
children. As the pediatric arm of OHSU (Oregon Health & Science University), its
staff conducts world-leading research into childhood illnesses and trains
tomorrow's pediatricians.
The support of the Kiwanis Doernbecher Children's Cancer Program (commonly
referred to as KDCCP), through this event, the Greater Portland Golf Tournament,
enables the Doernbecher staff to provide the most advanced therapies to children
battling cancer.
Doernbecher cares for more than 80% of all Oregon's young cancer patients and
is the only provider of pediatric bone marrow/stem cell transplant in Oregon and
SW Washington. Doernbecher is also one of only 21 institutions in the nation -
and only one of six west of the Mississippi River - designated as a Phase 1
pediatric research hospital by the National Cancer Institute. This designation
means that the children in our region, have access to the newest treatments
before they are more widely available. Without Doernbecher, children would have
to go to either Seattle or San Francisco for comparable care.
