Attend a listening session related to the Maternal and Child Health Services Title V Block Grant

During January and February 2010, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) and the Public Policy Research Institute (PPRI) at Texas A&M University will be hosting public forums across the state to seek public comment on the stakeholder input process and the proposed Title V priorities that will help guide the continued use of Title V funds by DSHS over the next five years

The sessions will be held during the months of March, April, May and June 2009, in the following 25 Texas counties: Lubbock, Scurry, Brown, Gaines, Eastland, Hidalgo, Potter, Harris, Wharton, Lamar, Madison, Webb, El Paso, Dallas, Navarro, Jim Wells, Jasper, Kleberg, Gonzales, Bexar, Falls, Travis, Panola, Tom Green and Red River.

The sessions are expected to identify the needs for the MCH population, including the CSHCN population. Information collected from the sessions will be used to develop the long range priorities and plans for the use of Title V funds in the state of Texas. Collected information will help DSHS identify opportunities for collaboration / integration among programs within local and relevant state agencies serving women, children, adolescents, and children and youth with special health care needs.
