OHSU collaboration
Although we strongly believe in making cutting-edge medical procedures available in our community, there are some relatively rare cardiac procedures, such as heart transplant, that are best referred to a major university medical center that performs them on a regular basis. For this reason, Asante has established a close relationship with Dr. Maggie Likes at OHSU Doernbecher Specialty Pediatrics Clinic, Medford who sees patients requiring a pediatric cardiologist.
