Maternal and Child Health Consortium

MCHC’s mission is to improve maternal and child health through the collaborative efforts of individuals, providers, and policy makers. Through a growing body of research and our own experiences, we know that accomplishing our mission requires us to focus on a child’s earliest years, including the prenatal period. Working with both mothers and children in these critical early years sets up the entire family for good health and establishes a strong foundation for learning. Yet, many Chester County families who are struggling merely to make ends meet and to provide the basic essentials are not able to focus on their child’s health and development. Our core programs reach families who are facing such hardships at a critical time in their children’s lives, removing the barriers that stand in the way of their child’s health and success.
