About me
Dr. Paula Vanderford trained in pediatric critical care at Oakland Children's Hospital and University of California, San Francisco. She practiced general pediatrics in the U.S. Navy in Naples Italy prior to doing her fellowship in pediatric critical care. She joined the faculty of OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital in 2008, and is the program director of the pediatric critical care fellowship.
Dr. Vanderford enjoys running, learning to play the banjo, and riding her elliptigo when she is not working with the great team in the PICU.

Insurance
Before scheduling your appointment, we recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher. Visit the billing and insurance section of our site for more information.
