About Us
Maternal and child health disparities are some of the most significant challenges of the day.
In the U.S., birthing people are twice as likely to die from pregnancy and childbirth complications than any other high-income nation, with most of these incidents preventable.
Maternal and Child Health Consortium (MCHC), established in 1991, 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 stakeholders.
MCHC was founded on the understanding that health care goes beyond the doctor’s office and the belief that quality health care should be accessible to all.
Making Bright Futures
Possible
The mission of Maternal and Child Health Consortium (MCHC) is to advocate for and empower prenatal and parenting families to achieve healthy beginnings and a bright future through a caring culture of service. Every day, during home-visits and out in the community, we support and uplift families with the highest quality programs and services. Since 1991, MCHC continues realizing its vision of 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.
