Our December 5th Program Summary ...

Elioit Enriguez came to Healthy Kids from the Latino HealthPlan where he was Community Health Manager.  Healthy Kids is a Not For Profit organization which provides advocacy and guidance in three areas of healthcare:  Locating affordable health insurance, selecting primary care providers and assistance in securing nutritious food.  Health Insurance is most frequently obtained through Cover California, the State's Medi-Cal program.  Nutritional support comes from Cal Fresh, California's Food Stamp services.  

Healthy Kids has a significant success rate in enrolling County children due in large part to the agency's skilled Enrollment Counselor network serving 8 different health organizations from 16 Enrollment Centers by 42 counselors, of which 5 are employed by Healthy Kids.  Counselors coordinate extensively with local elementary schools in identifying students in need of coverage by Cover California and Cal Fresh.

During the past year 5,000 households have been enrolled, ensuring them access to health, medical and nutritional services.  Since Healthy Kids inception in 2004, 161,000 people have applied for enrollment.
