The journey through fertility, pregnancy, loss, birth, and postpartum is a profound season of life. Let’s be honest—it can also feel incredibly overwhelming.

The journey through fertility, pregnancy, loss, birth, and postpartum is a profound season of life.

Let’s be honest—it can also feel incredibly overwhelming. Finding the right support during this time shouldn't add to your stress.

Perinatal Providers of Central Oregon (PPCO), is a centralized platform dedicated to making perinatal care in Bend, Redmond and the rest of Central Oregon as simple and accessible as possible.

Born from Personal Experience

This platform is not just a directory; it was founded by me, a local mental health professional who intimately understands the struggle. During my own perinatal experience, I felt disconnected and overwhelmed trying to find reliable, supportive resources. By the time I finally reached out for help, finding a good fit required too much effort.

I built PPCO to ensure you do not have to face the same barriers. Our mission is to create a space where every provider and resource is carefully selected so that individuals and families can feel seen, supported, and confident during this important phase of life.

Everything You Need in One Place

PPCO is designed to be your one-stop hub for trustworthy care. Here is an overview of what you can easily access on the site:

An Intentionally Curated Provider Directory: Say goodbye to endless internet searches, directories with only one type of provider, and directories that have everyone under the sun on them. The platform features a directory of local providers—from OB/GYNs and midwives to mental health professionals, lactation consultants, sleep consultants and pediatricians. Every professional on the directory has specialized training in the perinatal population. Whether you are seeking routine care or need specialists to help navigate this season, you can confidently search for qualified experts.

Local Groups and Events: Building your "village" is vital. The platform features a calendar of local events, in-person and virtual support groups, and in-person and virtual gatherings led by trained providers to help you connect with others in the community and learn from them rather than from social media.

Expert-Led Mini-Courses: Expecting and new parents are notoriously short on time. That is why the site offers easily digestible mini-courses. These expert-created courses are only 40 minutes long and are broken down into bite-sized 10-minute segments. You can learn at your own pace without committing to a week-long class!

Trusted Educational Products: If you need quick, tangible guidance, you can shop for digital guides, journals, workbooks, and worksheets created by local professionals. Because these resources are grounded in research, you can trust that you are getting reliable information from an expert rather than questionable advice from the internet.

Why Choose Perinatal Providers of Central Oregon?

Because finding the care you need should be simple. By bringing together highly vetted local professionals and evidence-based education into one trusted space, PPCO removes the confusion and gatekeeping from finding care. You can easily find a provider and then contact their office directly to schedule an appointment.
