FHOP facilitated two stakeholder meetings of the California Children's Services (CCS) Title V Children With Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) Needs Assessment. The purpose of the meetings was to obtain CCS Stakeholder input on 1) the issues/needs of California's CSHCN and families and 2) the selection of Title V CSHCN 5-Year Action Priorities. During the second meeting of the group (April 28, 2005), FHOP staff presented a priority setting process and data related to CSHCN needs and issues. The slide show is on the Public Health Data page.
Useful County Data Resources
The County Health Status Profiles 2005 is prepared by the California Department of Health Services in collaboration with the California Conference of Local Health Officers, and is presented during California’s Public Health Week. This report contains selected health status indicators recommended by the U.S. Public Health Service for monitoring state and local progress toward achieving some of the goals set forth in Healthy People 2010. These goals challenge public health administrators and professionals to focus on increasing the span of healthy life, reducing health disparities, and ensuring access to preventive services. The County Health Status Profiles 2005 is available in Acrobat (pdf) format.
