Individuals or organizations who served and/or represented the interests of medically underserved, low-income and minority populations in the community also took part in the process.

Prioritizing health needs was a twostep process. The two-step process allowed participants to consider the quantitative needs and qualitative needs as defined by the indicator dataset and focus group/interview/survey participant input.In the first step, participants reviewed the top health needs for their community using associated data-driven criteria. The criteria included health indicator value(s) for the community and how the indicator compared to the state benchmark.Participants held a group discussion about which needs were most significant, using the professional experience and community knowledge of the group. A virtual voting method was invoked for individuals to provide independent opinions.This process helped the group define and identify the community's significant health needs. Participants voted individually for the needs they considered the most significant for this community. When the votes were tallied, the top identified needs emerged and were ranked based on the number of votes.The following is a list of groups consulted: Baylor Scott & White Health, Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital Denton, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center McKinney, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Plano, Brittain Kalish Group Project Access, Callier Center for Communications Disorders, Collin County RHP 18, Church of Jesus Christ of LDS, City of Denton, Collin County Coalition Charitable Clinics, Collin County Health Care Services, Collin County Health Department, Collin County Public Health, Collin College Homeless Coalition, Community Lifeline Center, Community Services, Inc., Denton County MHMR Center, First Refuge Ministries, First United Methodist Richardson, Fort Worth Housing Solutions, Health Services of North Texas, Julia's Center, Meals on Wheels, MedStar, Methodist Mansfield Advisory Board, Metroport Meals on Wheels, My Possibilities, North Central Texas Health Care Center Comm., North Texas Food Bank, One Safe Place, Plano Fire-Rescue, Project Access Tarrant County, Tarrant Area Food Bank, Tarrant County Public health, Texas Health Resources, United Way, United Way Tarrant County, Visiting Nurse Association of Texas - Dallas/Fort Worth, Wellness Center for Older Adults.
