Vermont Strategic Plan and Needs Assessment
NEW: Vermont’s 2025 Title V Maternal and Child Health Needs Assessment Report
Core funding for Vermont’s Maternal and Child Health division comes from the
Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant
from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Title V aims to improve the health and well-being of people, particularly parents, and children.
Every five years, Vermont must complete a comprehensive needs assessment of maternal and child health programming, services, resources, and priorities. FCH conducted a new needs assessment in 2025.
