Maternal and child health services in the Baltimore City Health Department, 1900-1992.
Maternal and Child Health Services in the Baltimore City Health Department, founded in 1934 and 1919, respectively, grew out of concern for maternal and infant death. Increasingly, services have focused on prevention and on building individual health by strengthening the family. The authors identify changing patterns of health care and the health department's continuing role in assuring high quality care and developing guidelines for cost-effective management.
