Recent federal policy changes give states and advocates for improving children's health the opportunity to increase access to Medicaid health care coverage for children and their families. Children covered by health insurance grow up to be healthier adults with higher educational attainment and better paying jobs. The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky will host a Health for a Change webinar in April to explain these policy changes and what they mean for the wellbeing of families and children in Kentucky.

Speakers:

• Kelly Whitener, JD, MPH, Center for Children and Families at Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy

• Dustin Pugel, senior policy analyst, Kentucky Center for Economic Policy
