Child Health Plus is an insurance program for children under the age of 19 who are NY State residents with limited or no health insurance, and who are not eligible for Medicaid. The benefits provided by GHI's Child Health Plus help Bronx county children stay healthy through preventative medical services and prompt treatment for illnesses or emergency conditions.
