Health Care Coalition of Southern Oregon

The Health Care Coalition of Southern Oregon (HCCSO) is a Healthy Start project comprised of three local health departments and three federally qualified health centers. HCCSO is spreading the word about text4baby through their case managers who work with moms through their pregnancy and baby's first and second years.
