Services: works to ensure that Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) in Louisiana have access to services that are designed to minimize their disabilities and maximize their ability to live as independently as possible.

Eligibility: In our direct service clinics, CSHS serves Louisiana residents under the age of 21 who are diagnosed or suspected to have certain chronic physical illnesses or serious disabilities. These illnesses and disabilities are likely to cause impairments that could significantly limit major life activities. Outside of the direct service clinics, CSHS connects caregivers and families to relevant resources, collaborates with health and social service providers to improve service provision and care coordination, and works to build up systems of support for children and youth with special healthcare needs.
