Coverage for Kids Project in Amador County
United Way California Capital Region announced this week that it’s Coverage for Kids Project has attained a major milestone in health coverage for more than 20,000 Capital Region children. The Amador Tuolumne Community Action Agency partnered with United Way's Coverage for Kids program to find families without health coverage for children. The Action Agency actively sought out the families, as well as helped them enroll into low- or no-cost health coverage. These agencies help the families throughout the paperwork process as well as other hurdles that come up while attaining health coverage for children. The stated intent of the Amador Tuolumne Community Action Agency is to help individuals in Amador and Tuolumne Counties toward self-sufficiency. This includes support for local residents in becoming involved and contributing members of our community and forming partnerships and coalitions within the community to meet these needs. Serving five counties - Amador, El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo - Coverage for Kids began in 2004.
