In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, which begins on September 15 and runs through October 15, the Connecting Kids to Coverage National Campaign will host a webinar on Wednesday, Sept. 14 from 2:00-3:30 pm ET to discuss “Increasing Medicaid & CHIP Enrollment in Hispanic Communities.”
The webinar will bring together a panel to discuss strategies in enrolling more Latino and Hispanic children into Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Latinos have made great strides in reducing their numbers of uninsured, but still remain the largest single ethnic and racial group without coverage.
In order to reduce health disparities, it is critical to address inequities in programs, practices, and policies. Join our site, connect with others, and get involved.
The webinar will discuss tips for conducting outreach as well as crafting messages and activities that are targeted toward Latino families.
The webinar’s speakers include:
- Jeanette Contreras, Hispanic Outreach Lead, Division of Professional Affairs, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
- Edgar M. Gil Rico, Senior Director for Innovation and Program Development, National Alliance for Hispanic Health
- Cristela Gomez, PCMH Coordinator, Brownsville Community Health Center
- Jenna Kelly, Account Executive, GMMB
- Maria Romero-Mora, Director of Programs, Tides Center
- Luisa Soaterna, Text4baby Senior Multicultural and Outreach Specialist, Zero to Three
