The Yolo County Maternal, Child, Adolescent Health (MCAH) Advisory Board was established by the Board of Supervisors with Resolution No. 92-24, effective Feb 24, 1992, to proactively work to preserve, promote and enhance health and support systems for Yolo County women, children and their families. The membership of the MCAH Advisory Board is appointed by the Board of Supervisors and includes MCAH service consumers, representatives from health professions and organizations concerned with maternal, child and adolescent health, school nurses, child and adolescent advisory groups and other individuals interested in the health of women and children. Currently, the MCAH Advisory Board consists of 10 members representing both the public and private sectors.
Each year the MCAH Advisory Board undertakes the following broad activities, while focusing on specific steps to solve identified needs at its annual retreat.
- Annually review available data indicators to assess health status, health system adequacy and utilization related to the MCAH population;
- Inform and advise the Board of Supervisors and local Public Health Officer on real and anticipated impacts upon health status as a result of changes in federal, state and local legislation, policy and funding;
- Provide input on the development and progress of the 5 year strategic plan and development of priority areas for the local MCAH Program;
- Research and provide input to the Board of Supervisors on any issue relating to the health of the MCAH population at the request of the Board of Supervisors or based on issues of concern to the MCAH Advisory Board;
- Advocate for solutions to identified MCAH special needs and priorities through promotion of public awareness, coordination of existing services, and encouragement of new resource development;
- Provide an annual report of MCAH Advisory Board Activities to the Board of Supervisors.
