What is the Beyond ABC report?
More than 100 years of caring for North Texas children has established Children’s Health as not only the region’s leading pediatric health care system, but a prominent authority and passionate advocate for the advancement of pediatric health throughout our communities.
Every other year, we publish the Beyond ABC report to provide an in-depth look at the quality of life for children in Dallas, Collin, Cooke, Denton, Fannin, Grayson, Tarrant and Ellis counties. The report examines four key areas that shape children’s quality of life today and influence their opportunities for tomorrow: health, economic security, safety and education.
