100% Schools
Connecting School Kids with Health Coverage

What is 100% Schools?
100% Schools is a community-led initiative that connects uninsured school-age children with health coverage.  Participating schools identify uninsured children and then provide outreach to help the uninsured families apply for coverage through New Hampshire Healthy Kids.

What does it mean to be a 100% School?
A school meets the "100% School" standard when all uninsured families have been provided information about Healthy Kids coverage and offered application assistance.  To become a "100% School," at least three contact attempts by phone or letter are made to connect with each uninsured family.  While some families may not qualify for Healthy Kids coverage and others may decline to participate, most uninsured families will qualify and are anxious to cover their children.

How will participating schools be recognized?
Each school achieving the 100% School standard will be recognized at the NHHK Annual Meeting which often features the Governor making the presentation.  A press release will be sent by NHHK to each school's local newspaper recognizing the school's accomplishment.  Most importantly, the students in your school will enjoy the benefit of access to great health coverage.
