Maternal, Paternal, Child, and Adolescent Health (MPCAH) is dedicated to coordinating services for families, including teens, pregnant women, mothers, fathers, caregivers, and children in Alameda County. MPCAH enhances access to comprehensive, quality health care and focuses on early intervention and prevention services. The goal is to reduce health disparities, and protect and improve health outcomes among Alameda County families, including pregnant women, parenting women and men, and their children.
MPCAH programs work to ensure that women, children, youth, fathers, and families achieve optimal health and well-being through the provision of client-centered, culturally responsive, strengths-based services and supports, combined with community transformation efforts that aim to improve neighborhood conditions.
Our target audience is families — women, men, and children — who reside in Alameda County.
Needs Assessment
Every five years California is required to complete a comprehensive needs assessment on the health and well-being of the population we serve. Each local health jurisdiction (LHJ) completes a local needs assessment every five years and uses the results to plan local programs.
