West Virginia The MCH Federal-State Partnership


 
The Office of Maternal, Child, and Family Health (OMCFH) is the agency in West Virginia State government which administers Title V. The OMCFH is located within the State's Bureau for Public Health. The Bureau's overall goal is to attain and maintain a healthier environment for West Virginians by placing special emphasis on community-based programming that facilitates an accessible service delivery system. In line with the Bureau for Public Health, the Office of Maternal, Child and Family Health provides operational guidance and support to providers throughout West Virginia to improve the health of families. In addition to providing funding support for actual service delivery, the Office of Maternal, Child and Family health funds projects intended to develop new knowledge that will ultimately improve the service delivery of the health community. The Office of Maternal, Child and Family Health is comprised of multiple divisions, programs, and projects all designed to promote improved health care access and increased utilization of preventive care. OMCFH's organizational structure includes the Division of Women's Services; Division of Infant, Child and Adolescent Health including the CSHCN Program; Division of Research, Evaluation and Planning; and the Division of Financial Services. Among the services included within the OMCFH's Administrative control are: administration of the State's EPSDT Program; administration of the State's perinatal program, Right From the Start, for indigent and uninsured women; the State's Early Intervention/Part C Program; a SPRANS grant focusing on eary childhood; an SSDI Project focusing on integration of Program data; the Birth Defects Surveillance System; the Newborn Metabolic and Hearing Screening Programs; and in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the State's Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program as well as the State's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Project and PRAMS, a surveillance system for Pregnancy Risk Monitoring.
