Mission

We work together to improve maternal and childhood health outcomes through collaboration, implementation of best practices, and policy change throughout the state of Oregon. 

Vision

Oregon is a safe, welcoming place to be pregnant, give birth, be born and thrive within healthy communities. 

Goals

  • Enhance partnerships with key stakeholders, including patients and families, policymakers, payers, health care delivery systems, community-based organizations, public health professionals, and care providers.
  • Utilize Oregon maternal and neonatal outcomes data to achieve optimal health outcomes.
  • Promote systems changes in public health, policy, and health care delivery that improve lives, reduce morbidity and mortality and enhance patient and family-centered care.
  • Improve access to high quality, affordable, and timely care.
  • Eliminate disparities in health outcomes of mothers, birthing people, and infants.

Support

OPC is supported by funding from the Oregon Legislature, March of Dimes, and a HRSA Maternal Health Innovation grant through Comagine Health.
