Kansas The MCH Federal-State Partnership


 
The Bureau of Family Health (BFH) in the Kansas Department of Health and Environment administers the Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant program. The mission of the BFH is to provide leadership to enhance the health of Kansas women and children through partnerships with families and communities.

BFH engages in the 10 essential public health services to promote the health of mothers and children: assess and monitor health status; diagnose and investigate health problems; inform and educate the public and families; mobilize community partnerships; priority setting, planning and policy development; legal requirements to protect health and safety; link mothers and children to services; assure competent workforce; evaluate services and conduct research to improve MCH.
