In 1935, Title V of the Social Security Act established a federal-state partnership to address the needs of the maternal and child health population. Over the years, though changes have occurred, Title V remains the oldest federal program dedicated to the health of all mothers and children. Strong leadership and advocacy skills are critical to the program’s success. Program faculty discussed national trends in maternal and child health, national leadership for MCH, current challenges and opportunities, and future directions. CEUs: Nursing 1.5 hours, Social Work 1.5 hours. Please note: non-ADPH employees must pay a $17.50 fee to obtain CEU certificate.
