  • Our Focus

    We envision a Connecticut where everyone—regardless of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status—can achieve optimal health. To make this a reality, we focus on four areas that are critical to ensuring that the next generation will not face the same persistent racial and ethnic health disparities.

    Change comes from many different approaches. It can be through a grant that identifies a new way to deliver care, policy research that identifies a solution to a pressing problem, or leadership that fosters change.

Trusted Messengers to Support Health Care Coverage

The Connecticut Health Foundation recognizes the importance of health care coverage in achieving good health outcomes. Two major changes in health care coverage are expected to occur in 2023:

  • Eligibility for HUSKY (Medicaid) will extend to all children aged 12 and younger, regardless of immigration status, beginning Jan. 1.
  • The federal public health emergency is expected to end, which will cause more than 200,000 state residents to need to verify their eligibility for Medicaid or find another source of coverage.

To assure that the people affected by these changes receive information about their coverage options from a trusted source, the Connecticut Health Foundation seeks to serve as trusted messengers to share information, answer questions, and connect people to resources as needed. Grants will be available for organizations conducting messaging related to coverage for undocumented children, or related to the coverage changes that will occur after the public health emergency ends, or both. Priority will be given to organizations working in communities where messaging on these topics might not otherwise be occurring.
