9/19/16 – A Healthier Orange County: Quick Access to Key Resources
At September’s FaCT Training we were fortunate to have an array of presenters that were experts on the ever-changing landscape for health coverage, health programs for low-income families, available resources for the uninsured and undocumented, as well as behavioral health benefits and services. Participants had the opportunity to gain knowledge on how to better equip their families with access to health care and connect them to needed health resources. As you are aware, when we address supporting and maintaining “healthy families” the range of services is vast with everything from prevention services (screenings/assessments) to acute care. Thus, the landscape of health services and supporting access to these services is quite overwhelming.
Orange County is fortunate to have a system of resources to support navigation to these health services and health insurance programs. We have local health enrollment partners as well as some centralized resources (toll-free telephone numbers) to assist providers and individuals with accessing and better understanding eligible health programs and services.
For your convenience, we have abstracted some key resources and telephone numbers from September’s health training:
