The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Unit serves as the Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant (MCH BG) administrator for Wyoming. The MCH BG requires states and jurisdictions to conduct a comprehensive, statewide needs assessment every five years to guide priorities and state action plans to support the health and well-being of all mothers, children, and families. The next assessment will be due in the summer of 2025, to guide Wyoming’s 2026-2030 priorities and action plan.
Data Collection & Analysis

- Economic Stability
- Education Access & Quality
- Neighborhood and Built Environment
- Social & Community Context
- Healthcare Access & Quality
- Health Outcomes
Community & Family Engagement
- We have learned from partners and community organizations

Capacity Assessment
We have assessed our capacity and resources to help inform priorities
What’s Next?
We will work on the final analysis and write a report that communicates the results. In early 2025, we will select final priorities and begin working with partners to develop the strategies needed to address the priorities.
