Responding
to the Vision
The vision of th e
Health Resources and Services Administration’s Maternal and Child
Health Bureau (MCHB) is for a future America in which “… there
is equal access for all to quality health care in a supportive, culturally
competent environment, which is family-centered and community-based;
and health disparities by racial, ethnic, geographic area and economic
status have been eliminated.”
The MCHB revised
its mission statement and carefully crafted a 5-year strategic plan
in pursuit of its vision.
The plan includes goals, key strategies, performance measures, and
annual priorities.
