| Annual Performance Measures Who We Are The Maternal & Child Health Section seeks to improve the health of pregnant women and infants along a continuum of optimal development from birth to adolescence. Program staff from various disciplines work with parents and families to assess the major health needs of these populations. We work together to assure progress towards Oregon's Benchmarks and a healthy community. Why We're Here We assess, monitor, and support the health of Oregon's pregnant women, infants, and children. We promote statewide policy development, strategies, and programs that focus on prevention and risk reduction. Program efforts include high risk infant monitoring through "Babies First" Program, nutrition consultation, newborn hearing screening, and child care technical assistance. As part of the Office of Family Health, we coordinate and administer the Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant and other federal and state funds to local communities. What We're Doing
The Difference We're Making We provide a wealth of resources in technical assistance, consultation, and support to improve the public health of Oregon's pregnant women, infants, and children. We distribute funds through our partnerships with local health departments for a wide variety of clinical and supportive community-based health services especially to vulnerable families. We are proud of our programs that serve so many Oregon families. | |
