Florida The MCH Federal-State Partnership

 
The Department of Health is the agency responsible for the administration of the Title V program in Florida. Maternal and child health responsibilities are divided between Family Health Services (pregnant women and children) and Children's Medical Services (children with special health care needs). The Department of Health administers health programs through its county health departments and Children's Medical Services offices. Healthy Start continues to be our priority maternal and child health initiative in Florida. Healthy Start is designed to ensure access to maternal and child health services to all women and children in Florida. Other efforts to improving maternal and child health include services to substance exposed newborns, Fetal and Infant Mortality Review projects, improving pregnancy outcomes, prenatal smoking cessation, and pregnancy associated mortality review. Services for children with special health care needs include the Early Intervention Program, high risk obstetrical satellite clinics, Regional Perinatal Intensive Care Centers and clinic-based medical and therapeutic care.
