President's Fiscal Year 2011 Budget Proposes Increase to Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant
In a welcome surprise, the proposed FY 2011 budget released by the White House includes an $11 million proposed increase for the Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant. The proposed Title V increase – while not enough to rebuild what has been lost in the past few years – is a very welcome development considering last week’s announcement about a federal domestic spending freeze.

AMCHP Response to the Crisis in Haiti

Our deepest sympathies go to the women, children and families who have suffered so much from the recent disaster in Haiti. AMCHP is currently coordinating our efforts with other organizations who also want to provide tangible assistance to our friends and colleagues. For now, we are following guidance issued by federal officials who are overseeing our nation’s response to the crisis. Currently, the White House and other federal agencies are asking that donations and offers of assistance be coordinated through the Red Cross. Click here for more info.
