POPULATION HEALTH True to our mission, our team at Shriners Children’s Portland is committed to serving all children with pediatric orthopedic and neuromuscular conditions. Our pediatric psychologist plays a critical role in our multi-disciplinary team. While our focus remains on treating bones and muscles, a child’s mental health status is important to achieving optimal health outcomes. Moreover, in response to the growing pediatric depression and suicide rates in our community, our outpatient clinic conducts suicide screening on all eligible patients. The mind is inseparable to ensuring a holistic approach to treating musculoskeletal and neuro-muscular conditions. Our daily walk-in fracture and sports injury clinic is available for all kids from age 0 to 18 years old. This allows one stop treatment and prompt access to pediatric orthopedic experts avoiding unnecessary wait. Parents, referring physicians and even insurance companies have found our clinics to be a wonderful value in serving our community with high quality, easy access. COMMUNITY HEALTH Shriners Children’s Portland is committed to providing care within the scope of our mission without regard for the family’s ability to pay. We work collaboratively with community partners to assess community needs and to develop new clinical and community benefit programs that enhance the health and well-being of children in our community. These efforts are reported via our Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), completed every three years in accordance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. Annually, Shriners Children’s Portland reports to the State of Oregon on benefit provided to the community through programs such as education for medical providers and other healthcare professionals, research, and charity care. These benefits have averaged $14.4 million yearly for the past five years.
