You and your family matter

 

No Shame, No Blame

​

​Nurture Oregon’s mission is to keep families healthy and unified by providing

quality, integrated care.

 

Nurture Oregon envisions a state where pregnant people who use substances

receive safe, supportive, stigma-free care. Nurture Oregon is an integrated care

model providing services for pregnant families with peer support, maternity care,

substance use treatment, and social service coordination. Oregon Health

Authority Health Systems Division is building on a 2015 Multnomah county

pilot to expand and adapt this program around the state. The 2021 expansion

project includes five counties across Oregon, with a specific focus on rural

and frontier communities and sites serving BIPOC families.
