Welcome
The Oregon Family to Family Health Information Center provides information to families who are navigating the complex world of special health care needs. We are family members ourselves, who have first hand experience raising a child or youth with a chronic health condition, developmental delay or disability, or emotional/behavioral challenges.Guiding Principles of the Oregon F2F:
- Keep a family-centered approach for all projects and activities
- Promote positive parent-professional partnerships
- Rely on relationships with a wide range of family leaders, organizations,and agencies
- Keep current on best practices and policies that impact families and children
