Abstract
As those in the field of maternal and child health attempt to redefine their role to meet the challenges of the 1990s and beyond, they should review the history of their field. They should examine the legacy of the Children's Bureau which investigated and reported upon all matters pertaining to the welfare of children. They should note the medicalization of MCH and the drift away from broader child welfare issues. In Dr. Eliot's words, they should remember "the inseparability of the health and social aspects of the growth and development of a child." MCHers can advance the well-being of children by defining child health broadly and by promoting it in many ways.
