Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs

What Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs does

Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs (AMCHP) is a 501(c)(3) national membership organization founded in 1950 and headquartered in Washington, DC. It serves as the only national membership body representing the 59 state and territorial Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) and Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) programs, providing technical assistance, workforce development, policy advocacy, and peer-learning infrastructure for state public-health leaders, family leaders, and MCH professionals across the United States.

AMCHP's core offerings are organized around a portfolio of programs rather than a unified software platform: the AMCHP Annual Conference (record attendance 1,337 in 2021), the MCH Innovations Database and Innovation Hub (a searchable repository of evidence-based practices and policies), the Graduate Student Epidemiology Program (GSEP, relaunched in 2021 with HRSA funding), the Leadership Lab workforce development program, the State Public Health Autism Resource Center (SPHARC), the MCH Lead Toolkit, the Life Course Indicators Online Tool, a Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Checklist, multiple e-learning modules, and the Pulse, Policy Digest, and Member Briefs newsletters reaching more than 6,000 subscribers. Underpinning these is a content and engagement technology stack of web-based resource centers, online toolkits, and member directories.

The revenue model is a hybrid of federal grants (MCHB/HRSA, CDC), foundation support (Commonwealth Fund, Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health, W.K. Kellogg Foundation), membership dues (population-based for state programs, $2,500 for organizational associates, $100–$205 for individual associates), conference registration and sponsorship revenue, and Pulse newsletter advertising at $500–$1,000. The 2023 launch of the 'AMCHP Future 2027' strategic plan codifies a five-year roadmap for program, policy, and member services expansion into adjacent domains including housing and nutrition security, telehealth, and adolescent mental health and substance use.
