Guide to Health Programs (Guia de Programas de Salud)

A Bilingual Resource to Help Find Free or Low-Cost Health-Related Programs for You and Your Family

September 2008

This easy-to-use bilingual guide in Spanish and English is available for free to anyone looking for basic information on health insurance, nutrition, and other public programs.

Now in its fifth edition, The Guide to Health Programs was created for families and community organizations. It describes various public and private programs that exist to increase access to health care services for low-income populations in California. While the guide is useful to those in need of insurance, it is also designed to be a resource to help health care workers and community-based organizations in their outreach to the community.

Eligibility for most programs is based partially on income. Because eligibility guidelines may change, those interested in a specific program should contact that program's administrative offices. Ask to speak to an eligibility worker for the latest eligibility requirements and for a more complete description of the application process.
