Kentucky The MCH Federal-State Partnership


 
The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) administers Title V programs and services through Kentucky's local health departments. There are 56 local and district health departments that provide Title V program and Services in 120 counties. DPH allocates 34.9% on the MCH Block Grant to the Commission for Children with Special Health Care Needs.
