In 2021, AMCHP embarked on a process that led to the development of our strategic plan, AMCHP Future 2027, which we officially launched in 2022. The plan highlights our organization's direction from 2022 to 2027 and includes communications and branding goals focused on AMCHP's brand recognition and positioning. This month, we are thrilled to share a significant milestone in the implementation of AMCHP Future 2027 – the launch of our new logo, a better representation of the diverse populations we serve, and a symbol of opportunity and renewed hope.

About us
The Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs (AMCHP) is a national resource, partner, and advocate for state public health leaders who work and support state maternal and child health programs, and others working to improve the health of women, infants, children, youth, parents, families, and communities. AMCHP's members come from the highest levels of state government and include directors of maternal and child health programs, directors of programs for children with special health care needs, and other public health leaders who work with and support state maternal and child health programs. Our members directly serve all women and children nationwide, and strive to improve the health of all women, infants, children and adolescents, including those with special health care needs, by administering critical public health education and screening services, and coordinating preventive, primary and specialty care. Our membership also includes academic, advocacy and community based family health professionals, as well as families themselves. AMCHP builds successful programs by disseminating best practices; advocating on their behalf in Washington; providing technical assistance; convening leaders to share experiences and ideas; and advising states about involving partners to reach our common goal of healthy children, healthy families, and healthy communities.

After a tumultuous week of negotiations on multiple iterations of a bill to avert a government shutdown, Congress passed legislation to extend funding for the federal government through March 14, 2025. The short-term funding bill – known as a continuing resolution or “CR” – continues federal funding at fiscal year 2024 (FY24) levels and gives Congress more time to negotiate and pass legislation to fund the government for fiscal year 2025 (FY25). Among other provisions, it also included disaster relief funds and a few short-term health-related extensions, such as for community health centers, telehealth, and Family-to-Family Health Information Centers (F2F HICs).
