About Us
Who We Are
Maternal and Child Health Consortium (MCHC) is a nonprofit organization working to ensure every child and family has the support they need to thrive.
From pregnancy through early childhood, we connect families with healthcare, resources, and evidence-based programs that strengthen health, development, and well-being from the very beginning.
Our History
In 1991, MCHC emerged from a collaboration between the Chester County Health Department, March of Dimes of Southeastern PA, League of Women Voters, Planned Parenthood of Chester County, and other local providers to address gaps in prenatal care access impacting low-income families. Today, MCHC continues to support families from pregnancy through kindergarten by connecting them with healthcare, resources, education, and evidence-based services that help children and families thrive.
Our mission is to support prenatal and parenting families in achieving healthy beginnings and a bright future through compassionate, family-centered services.
Our vision is a community supporting all families with children in having equitable access and opportunity to ensure that they start healthy, stay healthy, and succeed in school.
