Hello families in Oregon, whether you are expecting a baby or already parenting, there are strong state and community systems designed to support your health, stability, and wellbeing.
Through the Oregon Health Plan, families receive full coverage for prenatal, delivery, and 12 months of postpartum care, ensuring access to essential maternal health services without financial barriers. Nutrition and breastfeeding support are also available through Oregon WIC, alongside home visiting programmes such as Babies First, Nurse-Family Partnership, and Family Connects Oregon, which provide early and ongoing support to families.
Mental health and wellbeing services are also widely accessible through Postpartum Support International Oregon, Help Me Grow Oregon, 211info, and national crisis lines, ensuring mothers and families can access emotional and behavioural health support when needed.
Oregon also prioritises infant safety through safe sleep education, Cribs for Kids partnerships, and Safe Haven laws, alongside housing and financial support programmes that help families maintain stability during the perinatal period.
Food security is strengthened through SNAP, Summer EBT, Double Up Food Bucks, and the Oregon Food Bank network, ensuring families have access to nutritious food throughout the year.
Together, these programmes reflect a coordinated, prevention focused approach to supporting families from pregnancy through early childhood.
Every family deserves care, stability, and support to thrive.
