Strong, Healthy Children
and Families Have
Access to Health Care

That is why the YMCA supports families in their efforts to maintain the health and well-being of their children through increasing their access to health care.

Through the CHP+ program, families can receive low or no-cost health insurance coverage for their children. Click here to view a report about the program on NewsFirst5.
