HISTORY:
The Maternal and Child Health Leadership Conference
In
1986, the Maternal and Child Health Program at the University of Illinois
at Chicago, School of Public Health (UIC-SPH), under the direction of
Naomi Morris, MD, MPH, MCH Program Director, began providing an annual
Maternal and Child Health Leadership Conference for MCH professionals
in DHHS Regions
V and VII (Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin).
The purpose of this conference was—and continues to be—to
expand the knowledge and leadership skills of MCH professionals in order
to improve the health of women, children, and families. In 2002, participants
will learn how to enhance their MCH-related programs by incorporating
new concepts and skills into research action plans, policies, and services
and identifying the most current strategies to meet the Healthy People
2010 objectives for MCH.
