Conference Call Tour for Faith & Community Leaders

Nov 30, 2011

Please join Mayra Alvarez, Director of Public Health Policy, Office of Health Reform and Mara Vanderslice Kelly, Acting Director of the HHS Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, for a conference call tour in Spanish of CuidadoDeSalud.gov, the first website in Spanish to provide consumers with both public and private health coverage options tailored specifically for their needs in a single, easy-to-use tool.

CuidadoDeSalud.gov helps Spanish-speaking Americans take control of their health care by connecting them with new information and resources that help them access quality, affordable health care coverage. Similar to HealthCare.gov, CuidadoDeSalud.gov offers an insurance finder, explains the Affordable Care Act in step-by-step detail and offers information for families with children, senior citizens, people with disabilities and others.

 

We hope you will tell your congregants and members of your community about this important resource.

The call-in information is below. We hope you are able to join.

Recent Child Care Updates

Since the start of the new year there have been several new developments regarding child care. Childcare has been a consistent conversation among parents, social workers, child advocates, and the childcare workforce because the costs of care are rising. Without affordable child care, some parents leave the workforce, and some spend more than 7% of their income on care while paying for other necessities. Childcare is plagued with long waitlists, low compensation for workers and some rural communities have few options to access care.
