Health Promotion Programs
Health promotion includes efforts and education about how to prevent disease and promote wellness.
Health Promotion Programs
Maternal, Child & Adolescent Health (MCAH)
Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health programs at DPHN are focused on promoting health across the lifespan of individuals and families. Preconception, pregnancy and early child experiences influence lifelong wellness. MCAH programs seek to promote healthy behaviors and increase health promotion knowledge for women, children and families, ultimately increasing the health of the community. DPHN collaborates with several local organizations to promote and support MCAH programs and services.
Reproductive Health
DPHN reproductive health promotion focuses on promoting access to and reducing barriers to reproductive health services. DPHN utilizes funding from the Oregon Health Authority Community Partnerships & Assurance of Access to Reproductive Health services program (also called PE 46) to support outreach, education, training and collaboration with local reproductive health clinics.
