This year’s Maternal and Child Health Federal/State Partnership Meeting will commemorate the 75th anniversary of Title V of the Social Security Act. Title V is the longest-standing public health legislation in American history and continues to work to improve the health of women and children. The meeting will bridge the rich history and successes of the Title V Maternal and Child Health Program with new health care priorities and ongoing challenges. The spirit and passion of the Nation’s early Maternal and Child Health leaders will be celebrated at the same time that emerging leaders bring new vision and renewed commitment to the planning process for the future.
