At Cardinal McCloskey Services we believe that it in order for a child to reach his or her greatest potential, we must address the physical, emotional, cognitive and clinical issues that need attention. This is an agency-wide approach that is emphasized even more so in our Health Services Department which is responsible for promoting both the physical and mental health of CMS children.

In addition to obtaining traditional training, CMS medical and clinical staff has been specially trained to treat the complicated health issues that often face children who have suffered abuse and neglect. And, although we have a very special commitment to the children we serve, we have an equally strong desire to see all children healthy and safe.

As a public service to all who share in our commitment, we are proud to add this Public Education section to our Web site. In addition to an overview on a variety of parental/caretaker concerns including asthma, obesity and fire-safety, we will continually provide you with access to credible Web sites that offer detailed information about the most common childhood health and safety issues. The information viewed through our site consists of answers to frequently asked questions, signs and symptoms and phone numbers and addresses for further inquiry.

We hope you find this section useful and we encourage you to visit regularly to view the most updated information.
