Online Resource Center Available to Help Insure Kids

COMMUNITIES FOR HEALTHY KIDS HAS A NEW WEBSITE!

The Institute for Local Government is pleased to announce an exciting new resource to help local officials connect families with affordable health insurance for their children: the Insure Kids Online Resource Center.

The Insure Kids Online Resource Center (www.ca-ilg.org/InsureKids) provides easy, “how-to” information on reaching out to families whose children may be eligible for no- and low-cost health insurance.

The online resource center is based upon best practices and lessons learned by California cities and counties that participated in a three-year program called “Communities for Healthy Kids.” These participants helped identify the best ways for local officials to connect with parents whose children are eligible for Medi-Cal, Healthy Families or Healthy Kids in counties with Children’s Health Initiative, so their children can be enrolled in health insurance. It is relevant to cities and counties in California as well as in other states.
