Mission
Children's fulfills its mission to make life better for children in part by working to educate officials and the public on matters of healthcare, education, safety, and security.
Children's is a founding member of the Coalition for North Texas Children, a nonpartisan educational alliance of national, state and local nonprofit organizations working together to solve the serious problems children face. These efforts extend into the areas of access to children's health insurance, child abuse, pediatric AIDS, childhood obesity, and community health and wellness.
Children's connects uninsured families with the resources available to receive insurance. Children's also leads the Dallas-area SAFE KIDS Coalition to raise awareness about childhood injury prevention.
