Healthy Families is a state- and federally funded commercial health care program that addresses this urgent issue. 19,whose low family incomes are too high to qualify them for free healthcare coverage, and who otherwise have no coverage. UCI's Healthy Families Program was started in 1998 through faculty in the College of Medicine . Our medical and graduate students have high earning potential, but in the meantime, they need health insurance coverage if they have children and many of them qualify for Healthy Families. We do outreach at the Verano housing office and have signed up a handful, but most don't yet know about the program.
Preventative care is free.
Our goal is to get the word out to more people.
