[1]

History

The hospital opened in 1926 on Portland's Marquam Hill. [2] Doernbecher Children's Hospital developed the nation's first academic children's eye clinic in 1949 and Oregon's first neonatal intensive care center in 1968. In 1998, Doernbecher built a new state-of-the-art medical complex to replace the original hospital. [3] The new facility was named as one of the major building engineering achievements of the last 100 years by the International Federation of Consulting Engineers in 2013. [4] Designed by ZGF Architects, the 250,000-square-foot (23,000 m2) building traverses a canyon with two streets running under the building. [4]

Namesake

Construction of the six-story [2] hospital in 1925–26 was financed primarily by a donation from a charitable trust managed by the heirs of Frank Silas Doernbecher (1861–1921), a prominent Portland businessman who established the Doernbecher Manufacturing Company in Portland in 1900. [5] The company was Portland's leading furniture manufacturer, [6] and grew to become one of the country's largest furniture makers. [5] Frank Doernbecher had stipulated in his will that the money, which amounted to $200,000, be given "to some charity for the benefit of the people of Oregon". [7] The hospital's original name was the Doernbecher Memorial Hospital for Children, and from the start it was part of the University of Oregon Medical School, [7] which in the 1970s became Oregon Health & Science University.
