<p class="MsoNormal">Since July,<span style="color:#1F497D"> </span>thirteen county and one tribal local Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Programs in Oregon (see attached map) have begun implementing Smoking Priorities as part of their Title V block grant funding.
Arriving at these priorities has been a long process in which many have contributed in developing our strategies. For those who participated, we thank you.

<p class="MsoNormal">MCH will be offering webinars 3 – 4 times a year to provide training, and receive input from our local MCH partners. For those counties and tribes whose MCH Programs have chosen the Smoking Priority (see attached pdf), county and tribal
TPEP staff are welcome to join - connect with your MCH Program to learn more about participating in the webinars. We hope that you will be able to support your local MCH programs in their efforts to ensure a smoke-free maternal, family and child population.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Over the next five years, local MCH Programs in both County Health Departments and within Tribal Nations will be working on this and other priorities. For a full list of information about all the Title V Priorities, go to:
<span style="color:#1F497D"><a href="https://public.health.oregon.gov/HealthyPeopleFamilies/DataReports/MCHTitleV/Pages/index.aspx">https://public.health.oregon.gov/HealthyPeopleFamilies/DataReports/MCHTitleV/Pages/index.aspx</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the State level, MCH has decided to focus on expanding the Indoor Clean Air Act for Child Care Centers in Oregon. Again, this is a five-year priority. As planning and implementation occur, your feedback and input at the local level will
be important. Stay tuned for more information on this work. And please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the MCH Title V Priorities.<o:p></o:p></p>
