Our CHNA includes a parent survey (Community wide Children's Health Assessment & Planning Survey), a review of facts from government and other health organizations, as well as input from community leaders regarding their views on children's health. The CHNA results help guide us, along with our community partners, in developing solutions that address the most important issues.</p> <p>CCHAPS plays a key role in our community health needs assessment. The assessment includes a review of facts from government and other health organizations, as well as input from community leaders regarding their views on children's health.</p> <p>We use the information and survey results to track our progress over time and to help Cook Children's and other nonprofit organizations, governments and churches in our area better serve children and families.</p> <p><a class="btn btn-primary GTMBUTTON score-button primary" title="Access CCHAPS data" href="/data/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Access child health data</a></p> </div> </div> <p><!-- /.row --></p> <hr> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 text-left"> <h3>Community Health Needs Assessment Report and Implementation Strategies</h3> <p>Public comment on this report is encouraged and should be sent via email to: <a class="GTMLINK" title="chnafeedback@cookchildrens.org" href="mailto:chnafeedback@cookchildrens.org">chnafeedback@cookchildrens.org</a>.</p> <p><a class="btn btn-primary GTMBUTTON score-button primary" title="Learn more about CCHAPS" href="/data/chna/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Learn more about CCHAPS</a></p> </div> </div> <p><!-- /.row --></p> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-8 col-sm-offset-2 text-left"><img class="img-responsive" src="/siteassets/images/about/about.png" alt="about"></div> <!-- /.col --></div> <p><!-- /.row --></p> <p> </p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <script defer="defer" src="/Util/Find/epi-util/find.js"></script> <script> document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',function(){if(typeof FindApi === 'function'){var api = new FindApi();api.setApplicationUrl('/');api.setServiceApiBaseUrl('/find_v2/');api.processEventFromCurrentUri();api.bindWindowEvents();api.bindAClickEvent();api.sendBufferedEvents();}}) </script> </main> <footer class="footer" > <div class="footer-wrapper bg-lightgrey"> <div data-react-component="FooterNavigation" data-props='{"upperFooter":{"upperFooterCol1":[{"title":"About Center for Community Health","link":"/about/","linkAriaLabel":"About The Center for Community Health","openInNewWindow":false,"childPages":[]}],"upperFooterCol2":[{"title":"Child Health Data","link":"/data/","linkAriaLabel":"Child Health Data","openInNewWindow":false,"childPages":[]}],"upperFooterCol3":[{"title":"Community Partners","link":"/programs-and-coalitions/","linkAriaLabel":"Community Partners","openInNewWindow":false,"childPages":[]}]},"lowerFooter":{"socialButtons":[],"copywriteText":null},"topBorderColor":"#F99D20"}'></div> <div class="middle-footer"> <div class="container flex-wrap pb-14"> <div class="container full-width "> <div class="score-column1"> <div class="score-center"> <div class="rich-text "> <div class="rich-text"><div style="text-align: center !important;"> <p style="padding-top: 20px; text-align: center !important;">This site maintained for the benefit of the children in our community by Cook Children's.</p> <p style="text-align: center !important;">Copyright Cook Children's Health Care System<br />Fort Worth, Texas | <a style="white-space: nowrap;" title="682-885-4162" href="tel:+1-682-885-4162">1-682-885-4162</a></p> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> <script defer="defer" src="/Util/Find/epi-util/find.js"></script> <script> document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',function(){if(typeof FindApi === 'function'){var api = new FindApi();api.setApplicationUrl('/');api.setServiceApiBaseUrl('/find_v2/');api.processEventFromCurrentUri();api.bindWindowEvents();api.bindAClickEvent();api.sendBufferedEvents();}}) </script> <script rel="preload" src="/dist/vendor.js?v=1.0.0.504911232000000000" as="script"></script> <script rel="preload" src="/dist/main.js?v=1.0.0.504911232000000000" as="script"></script> </body> </html>
