Healthy Families Sub-Committee
The Healthy Families Subcommittee (HFS) guides ASTHO in supporting state efforts to eliminate health inequities and improve optimal health outcomes for all moms and babies. As a subcommittee of ASTHO’s Community Health and Prevention Policy Committee, the HFS’s primary objectives are to 1) Increase birth equity by addressing multi-level system changes and social determinants of health, 2) Improve systems of care impacting maternal and child health and the associated inequities, 3) Increase access to family and maternal health services including prenatal/perinatal care, high-quality reproductive healthcare and the full range of contraception options to promote health and wellbeing across the lifespan.
