Call 503-814-CHEC (2432) for information.
If you need assistance to purchase a car seat, we may be able to help. You will need to provide income eligibility (OHP, WIC, OTC) and bring $30 cash co-pay to Salem Hospital Community Health Education Center (CHEC) for a new seat. You will then be given a voucher to bring to the next car seat clinic to obtain the seat.
This service is a partnership with Salem Hospital, West Valley hospital, Safe Kids Willamette Valley Coalition, Keizer Fire District, Oregon IMPACT, Oregon dept. of Transportation, West Salem Kiwanis.
