Covering Kids Action Team

A collaborative effort to enroll 3,000 uninsured children from the "hardest-to-reach" families in healthcare coverage programs.

Covering Kids Action Team will conduct an intensive marketing effort to alert and encourage families to enroll their children in healthcare coverage programs. Outreach workers will offer in-home assistance in enrollment. This FACES Collaborative project is funded through a grant from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in collaboration with Minnesota Children's Defense Fund.
