Mississippi The MCH Federal-State Partnership


 
The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) is the state agency responsible for administering the Title V program in Mississippi. Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Block Grant funds are allocated in the MSDH central office to the Offices of Women’s Health and Child/Adolescent Health. The Children’s Medical Program (CMP) is the program of services for Children with Special Health Care Needs, and is located organizationally within Health Services (HS), which is responsible for all maternal and child health functions. These two HS Offices provide services for the three major populations targeted by the MCH Block Grant; pregnant women, infants, children, and children with special health care needs. Health Services is also responsible for administering the statewide Family Planning program and the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Supplemental Food Program.
