Health Equity and Social Determinants of Health:
Recognizing the impact of social determinants of health on health outcomes, MCSC calls for policies that address underlying socioeconomic factors such as poverty, education, and housing.
By advocating for investments in social services, community development, and economic empowerment, MCSC aims to eliminate disparities in health outcomes and improve the overall well-being of marginalized communities.

Maternal and Infant Health:
MCSC is committed to improving maternal and infant health outcomes, particularly among minority populations who experience disproportionately high rates of maternal mortality and infant mortality.
MCSC supports policies aimed at expanding access to prenatal care, reducing maternal morbidity and mortality, and addressing racial disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse:
MCSC advocates for policies that prioritize mental health and substance abuse prevention, treatment, and support services.
