Oregon Public Helath Division Child Health Section
The Maternal and 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 distribute funds through our partnerships with local health departments for a wide variety of clinical and supportive community-based health services.

Child Health Collaborative
On March 15-16, 2010, Oregon state and local public health leaders in maternal and child health gathered for a valuable time of shared reflection, prioritizing and planning on behalf of children's health in Oregon. Over two days, leaders worked through a collaborative process to prioritize child health issues. As a result of these efforts, three areas for future collaboration and effort were prioritized: preventive oral health, obesity/physical activity, and unintentional injuries.
