California Coverage & Health Initiative
The California Coverage & Health Initiative is an association of local Children's Health Initiatives (CHI) in 28 counties across California. Collectively, the CHIs have insured more than 150,000 previously uninsured children into the locally funded Healthy Kids program. With firsthand experience and success enrolling children into public programs, such as Medi-Cal and Healthy Families, as well as administering local Healthy Kids programs, the CHIs have shown that coverage for all children in California is a do-able goal we can and must achieve now.
