Over the next couple of years, new federal and state Medi-Cal rules will make it harder for people to enroll in and keep their health care coverage. That is why CPEHN is asking the Legislature for at least $4 million in one-time funding to support the work of Community Health Workers/Promotor(as/es)/Representatives (CHW/P/Rs), who are trusted links in the communities they serve. With this funding, CHW/P/Rs will be able to better help families navigate changes and stay connected to care, preventing eligible Californians from falling through the cracks of a changing Medi-Cal system.
