Maternal and Child Health

The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Services Program protects and promotes the health of children and youth, mothers, and families. Funds provided by the Federal MCH Services Title V Block Grant Program allow Alabama to use dollars to assure continued improvement in the health, safety, and well-being of pregnant women, infants, children, adolescents, and their families: including women of reproductive age, fathers, and children and youth with special health care needs.
