ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW
The Oregon Pediatric Society (OPS) promotes the optimal health of all Oregon children and youth, while supporting their families and the health providers who care for them. OPS is the state chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the national research, education, advocacy, and professional association for pediatricians. OPS members are Oregon child and adolescent medical providers, students, administrators, and consultants within independent pediatric practices, hospitals and medical systems, public and community health clinics, schools, health plans, and governmental agencies.
Many of OPS’ funded projects focus on professional education and peer support for clinicians to improve physical and mental health care patient delivery. Using health provider knowledge and trust as tools for social justice and health care reform, we are champions of equitable and science-based public health policies across urban and rural Oregon. Among many OPS clinical quality improvement, policy, and advocacy activities, OPS members and staff have testified to the Oregon legislature about keeping kids safe from gun violence and environmental hazards; worked with families to prevent infectious diseases and dispel misinformation about vaccines; and taught medical providers and school-based employees about gender-affirming care and suicide prevention interventions.
