What has been NexCare Collaborative’s most successful project to date?
The First 5 LA organization (created by California’s 1998 Proposition 10 tobacco tax) awarded NexCare Collaborative a grant for a three-year project entitled First 5 LA Connect, to develop an interactive communications program for families with young children in Los Angeles County. NexCare Collaborative’s developmental result was a highly-lauded, extremely successful professional call center and Web site that linked families to more than 17,000 healthcare and social services agencies in Southern California. Through the First 5 LA Connect project, NexCare Collaborative was able to assist more than 100,000 Southern California children and additionally assisted in the enrollment of more than 18,000 Los Angeles County children into health insurance programs.
