Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children (Portland, Oregon)

Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children (Portland, Oregon), now known as Shriners Children's Portland, was a pediatric hospital located in Portland, Oregon, that provided specialized medical care to children with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and other complex medical needs. Founded under the mission of Shriners International, the hospital offered care regardless of a family's ability to pay.

The Portland Shriners Hospital focused on a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, involving surgeons, physicians, nurses, therapists (physical, occupational, and recreational), and other specialists to create comprehensive care plans for each child. Services offered included surgical interventions, rehabilitation programs, and psychosocial support.

The hospital was part of a network of Shriners Hospitals located throughout North America, each dedicated to providing specialized care to children in need. As Shriners Children's Portland, it continued to offer advanced medical care and research, focusing on improving the lives of children with various conditions. In recent years, the "Crippled Children" wording has been phased out in favor of more sensitive and accurate descriptions, reflecting the hospital's commitment to inclusivity and respect. The organization now emphasizes its focus on pediatric orthopedic care, burn care, cleft lip and palate care, and spinal cord injury rehabilitation.
