My Navigator Is There When I Call

Johanny is a single mother of three who moved to Florida three years ago. When she arrived in Hillsborough County, she wasn't sure how to access to health coverage. She asked around and learned about the Family Healthcare Foundation's healthcare navigator program. She called and was connected with Maria Gimenez, a navigator who has been an excellent resource for Johanny and her children. Maria helped Johanny through the process of applying for Medicaid for her kids and selecting a Marketplace insurance plan for herself. She also helped with applying for dental coverage and even food stamps. Maria did the research to help determine the best options for Johanny's family and helped complete all the required documentation. “Maria walks me through every step and takes my calls, even if late at night,” Johanny shares. She's been so happy with the service that she has referred others to Maria as well.

Healthcare Navigators across the state of Florida are offering free, expert assistance finding affordable coverage. Access free support from a qualified local Covering Florida Navigator at coveringflorida.org.
