Children's Health Access & Medical Program (CHAMP)

The Children’s Health Access & Medical Program (CHAMP) works to ensure that every child in Los Angeles County has access to health care. Despite numerous public and private outreach efforts to enroll eligible, uninsured children into public and privately financed health insurance programs in LA County, 115,000 eligible children remain uninsured. The complexity of enrollment and renewal procedures prevents many families from enrolling their children into healthcare coverage; for this reason many families turn to Application Assistance services in their community.

CHAMP presents a comprehensive approach to assuring children have access to health care services by providing programs that focus on information dissemination, education and technical assistance. As the preeminent training agency in LA County, NHF provides quality, up-to-date Application Assistor training in order to maintain an adequate number of well-informed assistors. NHF has conducted CHAMP training in 28 California counties including Los Angeles. CHAMP provides ongoing technical assistance and resources for assistors to help families apply for, maintain and utilize healthcare coverage through CHAMP-Net, the online companion to CHAMP trainings, and CHAMP-Net News, a monthly e-newsletter. NHF offers a variety of CHAMP training courses for new and experienced assistors, health advocates, providers and communities.
