Oregon's Child Health Ranking

We've made inroads in limiting child abuse and neglect, but there's more road to travel. 

A number of organizations gathered in Oregon over the last year to map out the road ahead. 

The Elevating Prevention Initiative started with the Children's Trust Fund of Oregon, which recently issued a final report on the initiative and its goals. 

Now comes the hard work: to put the goals into actions to help children.  CTFO's Director of Programs and Partnerships, Pamela Heisler, is our guest.
