Program Overview

A potentially heartbreaking situation exists in California’s communities. No and low cost health insurance is available for children of working families, but many families are not aware of it or how to access it. Through Communities for Healthy Kids, cities and counties are exploring innovative ways to helping families access affordable health insurance for their kids. This means these kids are more likely to get the health care they need to be healthy, perform better at school, and not spread illness to their classmates and teachers.
