In 2005, Doorway to Health launched the Healthy Kids insurance program designed to cover children from families whose children did not qualify for Medi-Cal. The Healthy Kids Program ended on June 30, 2016, as a new law went into effect in May 2016 which allows children less than 19 years of age to apply for full scope Medi-Cal benefits regardless of their immigration status. If your children were Healthy Kids members and you would like to learn more about the Medi-Cal program and what you need to do to apply, please click here.

A strategy of cross-sector collaboration over the past nine years has resulted in a dramatic decrease in the number and percentage of uninsured children in Santa Barbara County.
