Grant Overview
With an estimated population of 17,000 uninsured children, the 14 counties surrounding Augusta have been targeted for a local CKF project area. Under the direction of the Medical College of Georgia, the local CKF coalition will use strategies such as using medical students to provide information and assist families in enrolling in both Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids. An on-call system of availability to health care providers and hospitals to immediately link families to health care coverage using electronic application is also being established.
