2004
Summary: This report describes four projects that are part of a child care health consultation (CCHC) demonstration program. These programs are located in Baker, Jackson, Lincoln, and Multnomah counties. The CCHC programs provide a framework for communities to address children’s health needs by developing consultation services for child care providers. The goals of the CCHC program are to optimize the physical, social, and emotional health and safety of children in Oregon’s child care settings and to provide linkages with community health resources and services. The Oregon CCHC demonstration program has made a significant impact in the child care community. There was a 35 percent increase in the rate of children with known medical providers and an 11 percent increase in the rate of known dental providers.
