Providence Children's Health is a center of excellence for all of Oregon's children - especially for children with special health care needs. More than 150,000 children are served each year through Providence's clinics, hospitals and health plans. Welcoming one in five Oregon babies each year, Providence performs more deliveries than any other health system in the state. Two neonatal intensive care units and a pediatric intensive care unit serve the region's most fragile newborns, children and teens. In addition to being the largest provider of emergency care for kids in Oregon, Providence also offers immediate care, virtual visits, and a full range of round-the-clock pediatric specialty and subspecialty care. Providence provides education and family support to help every child reach his or her full potential.
Portland has a metro population over two million, but maintains strong local neighborhoods and a close connection to nature. Consequently, the city consistently ranks high in national "livability" contests. The New York Times describes Portland as a "bastion of good living" and "one of our national capitals of cool." With easy access to mountains and beaches, coupled with a nationally recognized food culture, Portland is a large little city with an outsized and unique cultural footprint.
