United Way of Metro Chicago announced its partnership with Chicago Public Schools (CPS), in a collaborative effort to address healthcare enrollment through a unique enrollment plan funded by the Pritzker Community Health Initiative, a project of the J.B. and M.K. Pritzker Foundation. Known as the Opening Doors Initiative, this strategic partnership is focused on reducing the rate of unenrolled students by 12 percent through the enrollment and retention of approximately 10,000 students in Medicaid and Marketplace health insurance in two years. Reports show that approximately 72,200 students, or 20 percent of the 361,000 students enrolled across the district, are eligible for health insurance but remain uninsured. Through the Opening Doors Initiative, United Way and CPS are providing additional resources to the areas of greatest need – Networks 1, 2, 3 and 10 – by increasing the number of trained healthcare navigators in CPS schools and community-based organizations. These navigators are focused on helping eligible families enroll in Medicaid, as well as access to SNAP benefits.
