History

Covering Kids & Families of Indiana, Inc. traces its beginning to the national initiative funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to reduce the number of uninsured children and adults who are eligible for but not enrolled in public health care coverage programs. Established as a legal sub-entity of Health and Hospital Corporation (HHC) in Indianapolis to serve as the lead agency for the RWJF Covering Kids & Families grant, CKF-IN’s early success in supporting Indiana Hoosier Healthwise enrollment and outreach was sustained in large part by the public hospital’s access to Medicaid administrative funds. In November 2006, the RWJF grant program concluded and CKF-IN Board of Directors began the transition to establish a Not-for-Profit 501(c)(3) corporation independent of HHC and to lay the groundwork for sustaining the work of the organization beyond its affiliation with RWJF.
