Maternal and child health
The Title V Maternal and Child Health Program (MCH) primarily works with local public health agencies to improve the health of Coloradans using population-based and infrastructure-building strategies. Our mission is to optimize the health and well-being of mothers and children by employing primary prevention and early intervention public health strategies.
