For the Media: Fact Sheets

  • For more than 100 years, OPRF Infant Welfare Society has been removing barriers for underserved children who live within a few miles, or even a few blocks from us. We believe that all children should have access to the fundamental care necessary to build a solid foundation for a successful life. OPRF IWS provides medical, dental, and behavioral services through programs at the Clinic or throughout the community. The work of the OPRF IWS is continued through the generosity of support of the community, volunteers and donors.

  • From a full service clinic that provides medical, dental, and behavioral services, to community programs and outreach, the OPRF Infant Welfare Society offers opportunities and support for children to support their well-being. From The Giving Library to a portable dentistry program and nutrition and oral health presentations, all programs and services focus on unlocking the potential of every child.

  • OPRF Infant Welfare Society is supported by community members who are committed to making a difference for children in need. Working together to support the overall management, members provide their time, talent, and treasure to help meet the health needs for children in the community. For more information on membership, email Christine Mitchell.  flynnfiona09@gmail.com
