Welcome
The Oregon Family to Family Health Information Center supports families and caregivers of children with special health needs when navigating complex health care systems. Staffed by parents of children and youth with a variety of health conditions, we provide free one-to-one support, training, and printed materials to families and professionals who serve them.
