The Grand Jury commends the accomplishments of the Central Coast Alliance for Health and its principles of practice for improved administration of Medi-Cal and Healthy Families Programs. Some of their successes are highlighted below: • Alliance membership in the Coalition for Health Care Outreach has contributed to the ongoing, community-wide effort to enroll those who are eligible for Medi-Cal and the Healthy Families Program. This strategy of decentralized outreach is especially important to the Spanish-speaking community whose families are not always aware of their eligibility for Medi-Cal or the Healthy Families Program. • Intensive and continuing efforts by community organizations to enroll eligible families in state and federally assisted health care programs channel scarce county funds into the medical care of those unable to qualify.
