Doernbecher Children’s Hospital Pediatrics - Clackamas, Oregon Health & Science University, will become Willamette Falls Pediatric Group, an educational site for OHSU School of Medicine pediatricians-in-training, effective Nov. 1, 2006.

Pediatricians Christina Grucella, M.D., Joanne Hay-Ling Wong, M.D., and Timothy Jeffrey, M.D., will continue to practice at the Oregon City site with no disruption in scheduling or services. Patients will receive the same health care services from the same health care professionals in the clinic’s current location.

In addition, Willamette Falls Pediatric Group will continue to provide access to the vast array of specialty care at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.

“We’ve developed a new practice model that provides convenient access to quality primary care, helps educate the next generation of pediatric physicians, and maintains an important link to exceptional specialty health care services, some of which are provided only at Doernbecher Children's Hospital,” said Peter Rapp, director, OHSU Health System.
