Women's and Children Health Policy Center, Johns Hopkins University

Mission statement:

The Women's and Children's Health Policy Center (WCHPC) at the Johns Hopkins University, School of Public Health was established in 1991 to address current policy issues found in national legislative initiatives and evolving health systems reforms impacting on the health of women, children, and adolescents. The mission of the Center -- which operated during its first five years as the Child and Adolescent Health Policy Center -- is to draw upon the science base of the university setting to conduct and disseminate research to inform maternal and child health policies and programs, and the practice of maternal and child health nationally. To this end, the Center has convened a multi-disciplinary, interdepartmental faculty team to implement projects designed to provide timely information useful to public and private sector MCH professionals, and to elected officials and other policymakers.
