Plus, we will help you locate the services and the personal attention you need to get your new family off to a healthy start. Ask your doctor, hospital, county health department or midwife. Healthy Start was funded by the 1993 State legislature. Similar to successful programs established in other states, it is a collaborative partnership between the medical community, private and public organizations who serve children and families in Douglas County, and the Oregon Department of Human Services. Participating in this program is voluntary.
Families expecting their first child are eligible.
