CDS was proud to be a Diamond Sponsor at the Texas Association of Health Plans’ (TAHP) annual Texas Covered Health Care Conference!

Our President, Kevin Jeffrey, shared insights on the CDS service delivery option with leaders from Managed Care Organizations, while our Executive Assistant, Luis Ochoa, represented us brilliantly in conversations with industry experts.

It was an incredible experience connecting with so many healthcare leaders, and we’re already looking forward to next year!

📦❤️ CDS in Texas, LifeSpan Home Care, and DSSW Give Back! ❤️📦
We’re thrilled to share that our teams came together in a big way for the San Antonio Food Bank — collecting and delivering over 700 food items! That’s two vehicles full and enough to fill two entire pallets! 🚗🚗📦📦
It was a true privilege to deliver this incredible donation on behalf of our amazing staff and community. Your generosity and teamwork made a real difference. 💪👏
Well done, everyone! Let’s keep the spirit of giving alive. 💙

🎯 CDS in Texas was proud to sponsor the Texas Parent 2 Parent Statewide Parent Conference last weekend! 🎉
We had an incredible time connecting with families, sharing resources, and celebrating the strength of our community. One of the highlights? Playing the giant dart board game with the kiddos! 💙
A huge thank you to Parent2Parent for organizing such a meaningful and inclusive event. We’re honored to be part of a movement that uplifts and empowers families across Texas.
