Our Impact
NICHQ’s project work approaches pressing issues with a lens of shared learning, action, and impact, with a focus on reducing health disparities and improving maternal and child health. From our continued efforts, more children and their families have better access to care, better coordinated services across systems and sectors, and better designed solutions that center communities.
What people are saying about NICHQ programs and partnerships
“NICHQ’s team brought enthusiasm, structure, and information about how to effectively implement change management to the project, which has been key to the success of the collaborative. I continue to look forward to guidance and support from NICHQ in the future.”
