Trainings

Aug 18, 2012

Children First offers free, comprehensive training sessions on children’s health insurance to groups all across southeastern Pennsylvania.  The trainings typically last 90 minutes and cover two sessions:

  • Session 1: An overview of children’s public health insurance programs and changes since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), as well as an overview of Children First’s services.
  • Session 2: A detailed session with step-by-step instruction in how to enroll children in health insurance.

The sessions can also be tailored to address specific concerns or to problem-solve particular challenges a group or agency faces.

To schedule a training session, please contact Anjanette Perry at 215-563-5848 x171 or anjanettep at childrenfirstpa.org.

Lower Travel Costs!  Options are available.

The Mayor’s proposed tax on ride share companies will protect public schools and ensure students have the resources they deserve. If ride share companies choose to pass these costs directly onto riders, there are options for individuals with disabilities to help lower their travel costs.
