Vineyard Health Care Access Program Wins 1st Place in Statewide Enrollment Challenge

BOSTON- Earlier this week Representative Tim Madden and Martha’s Vineyard Legislative Liaison, Nell Coogan, were proud to accept the first place award on behalf of the Vineyard’s own Vineyard Health Care Access Program at the Statewide Enrollment Challenge Award Ceremony at the State House in Boston. The Vineyard Health Care Access Program participated in the “got coverage? Health Coverage for Kids and Teens” campaign, in response to Secretary Sebelius’s nationwide Connecting Kids to Coverage Challenge, which challenged organizations across the Commonwealth to a Statewide Enrollment Challenge. Massachusetts, while having one of the highest coverage rates in the nation, still has many uninsured children. During the month of May, 66 organizations- including our very own Vineyard Health Care Access Program- across the state redoubled their enrollment efforts in order to make sure many more children have access to health coverage.
