The RMI MCH program receives approximately $200,000.00 from HRSA MCH Block Grant to support access to preventive and primary health care services for the population groups of:

 1) preventive and primary care services for pregnant women, mothers, and infants, 2) preventive and primary care services for children and adolescents, 3) preventive and primary care for children with special health care needs.  The Title V funds are allocated based on the 30/30/10 rule. A minimum of 30% of the Title V fund is allocated to provide services to Children with Special Health care Needs (CSHCN), a minimum of 30% towards services for children and adolescents and no more than 10% for state administration of funds.  Together with State funds, and other additional federal funds, the Title V MCH block grant is used to address MCH priority needs, improve performance related to targeted MCH outcomes, and expand systems of care for the MCH and CSHCN populations. The RMI Title V funds compliment state funds and other funds by addressing gaps and priority needs which are not achieved by State funds or other federal dollars.
