Maternal and Child Health Center of Excellence

Empowering and equipping future leaders in maternal and child health to make an impact.

As one of just 13 HRSA-funded Centers of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health in the United States, Harvard draws on its tradition of excellence to train future leaders in the field.

Through the Center we conduct research that seeks to deepen our understanding of issues affecting maternal and child health; offer training to public health students and professionals; and provide support and technical assistance to Title V and other MCH organizations with the mission to improve the lives of mothers, children, and families.
