Become a Member

Membership at MCMCH means having a seat at Michigan’s maternal and child health policy table. Members set the agenda that MCMCH advances with lawmakers, agencies, and partners across the state.

Why Organizations Join MCMCH

Because no single institution can advance maternal and child health policy alone.

Since 1983, MCMCH has served as a trusted, nonpartisan voice—built by members—working with administrations, legislators, and coalitions across the state to advance policy that improves care, prevention, and sustainable support for providers and Michigan families.

Together, we advance policies that support issues like preserving and enhancing Medicaid rates and reimbursement for proven strategies; improving access to reproductive health services; bettering supports for grief services, pediatric palliative care, and hospice; and more. 

When you join MCMCH, you’re joining a collaborative environment where collective voices bring lasting change.
