CityMatCH was initiated in 1988 to address the need for increased communication and collaboration among urban maternal and child health programs for the purpose of improving the planning, delivery, and evaluation of maternal and child health services at the local level. City MatCH, through its network of urban health department maternal and child health leaders, provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and strategies for addressing the health concerns of urban families and children.
