We are committed to delivering state-of-the-art emergency and urgent care to pediatric patients in the Portland metropolitan area and throughout the State. Pediatric Emergency Services (PES) at OHSU and Doernbecher Children's Hospital appreciates the need to provide appropriate and cost-effective care to pediatric patients and that we exist in the continuum of care from the primary care provider (PCP) to the tertiary care center that is available at Oregon's only free-standing children's hospital.

Pediatric Emergency Medicine exists within Emergency Department at OHSU and academically is in the Department of Emergency Medicine. We have six general pediatric examination rooms of which one is dedicated to resuscitations and monitored sedation procedures. In addition, there is a dedicated Pediatric Resuscitation Room at the ambulance entrance for trauma and medical resuscitations.

The Dept of Emergency Medicine sponsors the Robert Wood Johnson funded Injury-Free Coalition for Kids that supports after-school programs teaching injury prevention topics, building several playgrounds for schools in N. Portland, studying the causes of pediatric injuries in the Portland metropolitan area, and coordinating other injury prevention programs with community partners and the Doernbecher Safety Center.
