Subject: Fwd: FW: Health Care Enrollment and Resource Fair 7-13-13 Subject: FW: Health Care Enrollment and Resource Fair 7-13-13 To: Forwarding – Health Care Program The County HHSA and their partners are sponsoring a huge health care enrollment and resource fair on Sat., July 13, 9:00-2:00 at the Jacobs Center, 404 Euclid Ave, San Diego, 92114. This event is intended for San Diego County residents – no matter what part of the County they live in. Please help spread the word to all your agency participants and partners (see attached flyer in English and Spanish). Here is what the County says on their website about the Low-Income Health Program (LIHP): The Low-income Health Program (LIHP) is a new health insurance program being established on a county-by-county basis to serve people who will be eligible for the Medi-Cal expansion in 2014. LIHP will insure these adults now, and then transfer them to Medi-Cal once it expands in 2014. It may sound complicated now, but the county will let you know exactly what you need to do. LIHP is available to adults between 19-64 who are not eligible for Medi-Cal, are not pregnant, are within their county’s income requirements, meet county residency requirements, and meet the federal requirements for citizenship and immigration verifications and restrictions. LIHP is a program that funds medical care for uninsured adult county residents. LIHP uses a network of community health centers along with hospitals, community physicians, and mental health providers throughout San Diego County to provide health care services. The San Diego Workforce Partnership will have a booth at the event to promote our Bridge to Employment in Healthcare program - come by and say hi to us!
