Maternal Child and Adolescent Health

The San Benito County Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health program was established by the California Department of Health Services, Maternal and Child Health Branch in 1994. The MCAH program provides and participates in outreach, community and provider education, health status monitoring and reporting.
