The Doernbecher Children's Hospital Foundation
Part of OHSU, the Oregon Health Sciences University, Doernbecher's is a beautiful place with caring and knowledgeable staff, and geared entirely towards children. I am blessed to have such a facility so near to my home, especially as I have had to visit Doernbecher's multiple times with both of my children.
From their website:
