Services under Title V administrative control include Missouri School Health Services Program, injury prevention activities, and the Adult Head Injury Services program. Numerous other programs and services funded through the MCH Block Grant, general revenue, and other funds are under the Title V Director's control and include Medicaid case management services, Elks Mobile Dental Unit, Chronic Disease Prevention, Environmental and Communicable Disease Control and others.
