“I had an appointment at a public office, and a person from the Community
Council approached me and asked me if my children were covered with Medicaid or
CHIP. I said I didn't think they would qualify. She said it wouldn't hurt to
try, so I did.
After a few weeks I got Medicaid for my children. I was, and am so happy. I
appreciate this program so much. It means a lot to me that a person cares about
helping families. I always share my story with family and friends and give out
her number, knowing that she will help them as she helped me.”
The Community
Council works in partnership with coalitions and manages outreach programs to
address the
needs of the community to ensure healthier citizens and a healthier community.
Included are CHIP/ Children’s Medicaid outreach efforts, healthy lifestyle programs through the Dallas Area Coalition to Prevent Childhood Obesity and community efforts to increase the immunization rate in Dallas County.
