The ECCS program has remained committed to building comprehensive systems of care for young children and families since 2002. This program helps ensure that families are connected to a full range of services and supports starting prenatally and addresses long-standing gaps between health and other child- and family-serving systems.
The purpose of the current iteration, ECCS: Health Integration Prenatal-to-Three, is to build integrated maternal and early childhood systems of care that:
- Promote early developmental health and family well-being with a prevention lens
- Are fair, sustainable, comprehensive, and inclusive of the health system
- Increase family-centered access to care and leadership
Award recipients work to advance:
- State-level leadership, including family leadership, that champions and improves the health and well-being of the prenatal-to-3 (P-3) population
- Cross-sector collaborations and partnerships to advance a shared vision and action plan
- Health system improvements that connect with other P-3 systems
- State-level policy and financing innovation
- State-specific health goals
Current ECCS award recipients (2021-2026)
