The Hallie E. Ford Center for Healthy Children and Families promotes the development and well-being of children, youth and families by generating, translating and sharing research-based knowledge. The center advocates a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to research, training and outreach that has far-reaching consequences for Oregon and beyond.
“Our work begins with passion and leads to life-changing results. The center generates, translates and shares research-based knowledge to improve the health and well-being of children and families.”
Director Megan McClelland.
From the very first moments of life, the interactions a child has with the adults that care for it have profound and long-lasting effects.
Learn how we're helping to foster these relationships in meaningful ways through the distribution of free Bunny to Bunny books of rhymes and poems.
