Description
WE Connect embraces The Endowment's efforts to challenge conventional wisdom that health solely happens in the doctor's office. For WE Connect, it means connecting families to money-saving programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which helps put money back in the pockets of those who need it most. It also means connecting families to resources that make access to healthy food a reality, such as CalFresh and WIC. It also means connecting families to low-cost and no-cost health coverage. A new health care law, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), is helping families and small businesses access more affordable prevention-based coverage.
