MCMCH has partnered with the Michigan Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics to produce several infographics to serve as a resource for policymakers and to provide background, data, and contact information to facilitate a dialogue with legislative candidates and maternal and child health advocates.

The infographics are designed specifically to give both background and policy priorities in key topic areas, along with "101" style infographics on Medicaid and CSHCS to give an overview of these programs in Michigan. The content of each infographic is intentionally basic to help those practicing in the field begin a dialogue with new and returning legislators who will have many issues to digest.

The structure of the infographics allows you as the messenger to provide more details based on your expertise. These types of early interactions can be invaluable in establishing you as well as MCMCH and our partners as key resources on child health issues. Please download them and share widely!
