Maternal and Child Health

The Altarum Food and Nutrition team examined the impact on fruit and vegetable intake of Good Food at Home program, with support by Partnership for a Healthier America.

Altarum will work with HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau to enhance collaboration between federal and state programs like CHIP, Medicaid, and Title V. The aim is to improve maternal and child health by ensuring these programs work together seamlessly.

Altarum experts use their deep experience in Title V and Medicaid to offer breakthrough ideas for enhanced collaboration between Title V MCH Block Grant and Medicaid.

HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau has enlisted Altarum in a five-year project to support the Bureau's research and workforce training programs, including grantees from universities and affiliated MCH research, service, and other learning institutions.

Altarum is committed to helping the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Network engage children's hospitals and their communities in providing the best possible care to children and their families in crises and reducing gaps created by global threats, national emergencies, and disasters using research-informed practices. 

The program supports states and non-profit organizations as they build integrated maternal and early childhood comprehensive systems of care that are equitable, sustainable, and inclusive of the health system.
