OHSU has performed more than 700 heart transplants and is the only heart transplant center in the state of Oregon. Our program is comprised of a team that includes cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, intensivists, clinical coordinators and social workers who all specialize in the care of patients with advanced heart failure. Together, this team of specialists evaluates and treats heart failure patients at all stages including initial diagnosis, guideline-directed therapies and transition to advanced therapies or palliative care as appropriate. Advanced therapies include investigational medical therapy, inotropes, mechanical support (including destination mechanical assist devices) and heart transplantation. OHSU is conducting a temporary pause of our heart transplant program as we work to expand our team. Incoming faculty will play a crucial role in the reactivation and expansion of the transplant program.
KCVI offers a full spectrum of cardiovascular services including prevention, electrophysiology, adult congenital heart care, structural heart disease, and features robust basic, translational, and clinical research programs. OHSU is consistently ranked as Oregon’s top Cardiology and Heart Surgery hospital and among the best in the nation according to U.S. News & World Report. OHSU is committed to providing the program requirements to develop a program which is nationally recognized as a leader in clinical care, education, and research.
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.
