Building a Healthy School Year

Studies have shown that academic performance and quality health care go hand in hand. Here’s how we can help your family build a healthy school year!

on July 28, 2023

Studies have shown that academic performance and quality health care go hand in hand. When children get routine health care, immunizations, check-ups, eye exams, dental exams, and mental health services, they are more prepared to fully participate in school and after-school activities like clubs and sports. They also miss fewer classes.

But quality health care doesn’t just benefit students. Fewer missed days of school due to illness also means fewer missed days of work for parents.

Luckily, CCI is here to help. 

Here’s how we can help your family build a healthy school year!

1

Getting Covered

Having health coverage is critical for children to thrive at school and in life. Medicaid and CHIP cover emergency doctor and hospital visits, prescriptions, and immunizations for children and teens. Other benefits include check-ups and regular doctor visits, dental visits, mental and behavioral health services, eye exams, and other care children and teens may need.

CCI can help you and your family apply for Medicaid and CHIP coverage.

Staying Up to Date on Immunizations

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many children missed routine well-child care and related immunizations. It is important that children and teens stay up to date on their scheduled immunizations to protect themselves and their communities from preventable diseases and severe illness.

CCI can help your family get up-to-date to start the school year off right.
