<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Latha">It is with great pleasure that we share with you Oregon’s Title V MCH Block Grant priorities for the next 5 year cycle. As you may know, we have been engaged in an extensive needs assessment
over the past 20 months or so. What we learned has greatly informed our understanding of Oregon’s maternal and child health landscape and helped us prioritize our work for the next 5 years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Latha"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Latha">Per the Federal Guidance, we had to select a minimum of 8 out of 15 pre-determined national priority areas with the caveat that we have at least one in each of the 6 federally determined
population domains. In addition, we were required to select 3-5 state specific priority areas of our choosing. Both selections were based on the needs assessment and stakeholder input.
