About me
Jessica Dixon is a certified clinical perfusionist who cares for children and adults with lung and heart problems. She treats cardiac bypass patients and children with congenital heart disease. She performs perfusion and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), procedures that help keep blood and oxygen moving through the body during surgery.
“It is incredibly rewarding to see a child come in while they are incredibly sick with complex cardiac disease and know you are part of the surgical team that was able to help give them an opportunity for a long healthy life,” she said.
Outside of work, she and her husband enjoy traveling, hiking, biking and recreating on the water around the Northwest.

Insurance
Before scheduling your appointment, we recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher.
