Andrew County Maternal Child Health Service Program
MCH is a Federal Title V Block Grant that is awarded to Local Health Departments to ensure the health of the nation’s women, children, and families. This program is the only program dedicated to improving the health of all women, children, and families and serves approximately 44 million women and children in the United States. In the past, the Andrew County Health Department has used the MCH Block Grant to enhance our community through Safe Haven and Safe Sleep education, carseat safety, water safety, ice safety, breasfeeding education and purchasing of breast- feeding supplies, Family Fun Color Run and other educational topics as they arise. Our upcoming workplan requires us to collect data from a variety of sources and compile and analyze this data in order to select a Priority Health Issue to address that best fits the needs of our county. This information is shown below.
This project is/was funded in part by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Maternal and Child Health Services Contract # DH180014004, and is/was supported by the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under grant #B04MC30623, Maternal and Child Health Services for $12,107,084, of which $0 is from non-governmental sources.
