Notable Accomplishments / Recognition
We are the first nonprofit in the state of California to become a licensed insurance agency so we can assist our clients in enrolling in all types of health insurance. We are developing a best practice for other nonprofits to follow in our steps.
Since 2005, our staff has successfully completed over 17,000 health insurance applications, increasing enrollment for previously uninsured children by 78% in Napa County.
Each year, we enroll 1,000 new children.
We screen over 22,000 children annually through school and other outreach events, personal visits, and phone consultations. Children who have health insurance miss fewer school days, perform better in school, and are healthier. Parents of insured children miss fewer work days. Healthy kids create a healthy community!
