OHSU is given so many grants by the Knight Foundation.
It is a leading hospital.

It is attached to Doernbecher.
Doernbecher is a tier two children's hospital.

50 percent less doesn't matter what the specialty is.
They all make less money.
That is a problem in this country that our children are not being cared for.
And we're now in a position where.
There are no programs, and if there were, they're gone, that are showing doctors and students that are in medical school, hey, go into pediatrics.
Hey, if you want to be an anesthesiologist, you want job security, go into pediatrics.
