Summary
California will use SCHIP funds, together with other state revenues, to extend clinic hours in rural areas, pay the costs of mobile health and dental service vans, provide health screenings, nutritional counseling, telemedicine and other services. The rural health demonstration projects will be targeted to children under age 19 who may not otherwise have access to services.

"This initiative will improve the lives of children living in rural areas who otherwise might not receive critical health services."See the full content of this document
