Pettiford BD, DeLauro R, Cole T. 2022. AMCHP Board President Testimony Before House Appropriations Subcommittee. [Washington, DC]: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, 10 m 08 s.

Annotation: On May 26, 2022, Belinda D. Pettiford, MPH, AMCHP Board President, delivered testimony before the House Appropriations Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee during their FY2023 Public Witness Day, advocating for $1 billion in funding for the Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant. Pettiford emphasized how these equitably distributed grants have effectively improved maternal and child health outcomes across all states and territories through evidence-based, flexible programs that deliver measurable results. Her testimony highlighted priority initiatives including maternal mortality prevention, support for families with children having special healthcare needs, and addressing healthcare inequities. Following her presentation, which occupied approximately half the allocated time, subcommittee members contributed their own observations and comments regarding the funding request.
