Welcome to Cover the Kids' website!
Cover the Kids (CTK), Sacramento Children's Health Initiative believe that ALL children deserve access to affordable comprehensive health coverage.
In Sacramento County alone, approximately 16,000 children ages 0-18 that does not have health coverage. About 2/3 (10,720) of these children are actually eligible for current subsidized programs such as Medi-Cal and Healthy Families but are not enrolled. And about 5,280 are not eligible due to citizenship status.

- Medi-Cal
- Healthy Families
- Kaiser Permanente's Child Health Plan

- Access for Infants and Mothers (AIM) Program
