This week, NCSD signed on a letter, authored by the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, which supports the Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Services Block Grant. Written to the Chair and Ranking Members of the House and Senate Labor, Health, and Human Services (LHHS) Appropriations Subcommittees, this letter “strongly urges” these Congressional leaders to support a minimum of $645 million for the MCH Services Block Grant in the fiscal year 2013 LHHS Appropriation bill.
