Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $57.0 million spent. Cook Children's Home Health (CCHH) Children and families throughout Texas rely on Cook Children's Home Health for in-home medical care and supplies including skilled nursing, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, orthotics and prosthetics, custom mobility equipment, and pharmaceutical infusion and specialty drug therapy. In FY24, CCHH's five locations in Fort Worth, Dallas, Austin, Houston and San Antonio served more than 85,776 patients. Looking to the future, CCHH continues to utilize EV and hybrid vehicles with the intent to environmentally balance its fleet. With this growing fleet of vehicles, CCHH's warehouse delivery team traveled more than 972,946 miles to complete over 70,326 deliveries and shipments in FY24. Home Health's nursing and rehabilitation services logged more than 2,333 skilled nursing visits and more than 20,468 rehabilitative visits, either virtually or in person, in FY24. Home Health's nursing and rehabilitation services provide virtual visits when necessary to safely provide care for its home-based patients. Similarly, CCHH continues to deliver life-enhancing and life-sustaining durable medical equipment to patients' homes. More than 76,500 patients received durable medical equipment products and services in FY24. In addition, respiratory care services were provided to 147 homebound patients on ventilators. Home Health continued to experience rapid growth in the custom mobility equipment sector. As a result, CCHH has grown its program to five assistive technology professionals with two more expected to be hired in FY25. Recently a mechanical arm was placed on a custom wheelchair enabling a young patient the ability to do more activities of daily school life on her own like simply opening a door or grabbing a book. It's successes like this that encourage our team to do everything for the child. The Houston office continues to experience rapid growth out pacing the growth rates of similar expansion sites. In FY24, the team members from the Houston office have traveled over 91,838 miles and made 1874 patient visits and shipment to deliver care and equipment. This is double what was accomplished last year.
