Healthy Kids Insurance Fund
Healthy Kids of Santa Cruz County offers insurance to children in families at or below 300% of the federal poverty level ($56,000 for a family of four).
The Foundation played a leadership role in helping establish this program
The goal is to enroll children in the existing public insurance programs or offer them coverage through the Healthy Kids Health Plan.
As many as 5,000 children in Santa Cruz County under the age of 19 are growing up without access to healthcare because their families can't afford health insurance.
The program is collaborative effort on the part of more than 20 community partners and is expected to cost $2.6 million annually at full enrollment.
Additional funding is being sought to provide coverage for children ages 6 through 18.
