Local Agency Works to Improve Services

TYLER — A longtime human needs agency in Tyler is working to make its services even better. David Young is CEO of St. Paul Children’s Foundation and Clinics. Chatting on KTBB “Staff Meeting,” Young says, “One of our visions is to work much more closely with our community partners, and we’ve set out to do that, and we’re having a lot of meetings about that right now.” Young also says among other things, St. Paul is working to be more efficient and effective in its clinics. According to Young, “We’re spending a great deal of time right now and effort making sure folks know what services are available in our
clinics. We want to increase the traffic there.”

St. Paul partners with a number of people and agencies around the area,
serving a predominantly Hispanic population from its East Tyler location. Its mission is “to build a healthy and joyful community for children and their families.” St. Paul is also promoting several upcoming events. One of those, coming up March 8-11, is a Tyler to Austin Cycle Challenge to benefit the foundation. You can go to http://www.stpaulchildren.org to learn more.
