5th Annual Spring Gala to be hosted by Dr. John Keller

By Ben Stark - March 15th, 2022
The fifth annual Spring Gala is being hosted in the Oregon Convention Center, in the Lloyd district, being sponsored by Dr. John Keller. Dr. Keller has been a long time associate with the center and the Keller Medical Center and Advanced Medical Solutions, donating his profits to host this event for the last five years.
John Keller is known for opening more than a dozen hospitals in the states of Oregon and Washington. In 1982, he opened the Keller Medical Center, his first hospital. “As a doctor, I saw how many patients just could not afford good healthcare. I wanted good healthcare to be available to Oregonians,” he said. “So many options were so expensive for the elderly and needy, particularly with insurance. I wanted to provide a way to have people get the medicine they needed.”
Keller and his associates, Horace Palmer and Jacob Light, also opened Advanced Medical Solutions in 1999, a medicine laboratory that has extended their services across the pacific northwest. With the proceeds, they have sponsored local sports teams and the aforementioned Portland Annual Spring Gala.
The Spring Gala opens on March 30th.
