SC Portland Outcomes Report 2023

A MESSAGE FROM OUR LEADERSHIP

WELCOME TO SHRINERS CHILDREN’S PORTLAND 2023 ANNUAL REPORT

As we celebrate the turn of a century of serving children in Portland, Shriners Children’ss has weathered many extraordinary events beginning in 1924 with the polio epidemic to more recent times with COVID and the recovering economy. As always, our hospitals and clinics remain steadfast in providing excellent, family-centered care for all children to teens with bone and muscle conditions. Over the past six years, our hospital continues to receive more recognition for our achievements from U.S. News and National Press Ganey patient satisfaction awards year over year. These awards reflect Shriners Children’s unwavering dedication to highly reliable patient care. Committed to serving more kids, in more places, our network of clinics continues to grow. In addition to our Anchorage, Alaska and Pendleton, Oregon outreach clinics, we now have clinics in Medford, Oregon and Redmond, Oregon (opened in 2024). Continuously serving Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Idaho, and Western Canada, we also serve more international children from around the world that need complex spine and other inpatient care. Our daily walk-in fracture and sports injury clinic offers quick access and the best venue of care for children and teens. Our clinical research, bench research imaging core, and genomics research continue to assure that Shriners Children’s patients have access to the latest treatments. Accordingly, our medical education program extends our teaching mission to orthopedic residents and to a wide variety clinical student rotations. I am delighted to share with you our fifth Annual Report for 2023. We hope that you will share this report with your family, friends, physicians, and even employer health plans. As always, we welcome your comments and feedback.

Sincerely, Dereesa Reid, MBA Administrator
