Kathy was recently selected to receive a Sojourns Award from the Cambia Health Foundation, which recognizes leadership and innovation in the field of palliative and end-of-life care. In 2001, Kathy and her team at OHSU Doernbecher started the first organized palliative care program in Oregon for children with cancer. As time passed, she worked to expand the program to support all children with life-limiting illnesses, and in 2005, the Bridges Palliative Care Program was born. Kathy is now partnering with hospices around Oregon to help them better care for seriously ill children in their communities and is starting a pediatric palliative care telehealth program to continue caring for children after they leave the hospital. Congratulations on this wonderful award, Kathy! Back to top
