Dear Reader:

Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin to Host Affordable Care Act (ACA) Community Forum

Forum will feature presentation by Dr. Patricia McManus and offer on-site enrollment assistance

Milwaukee, WI – The community can get their Affordable Care Act (ACA) questions answered and receive on-site enrollment assistance at a community forum hosted by Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin (BHCW). The public is welcome to attend this free event on Thursday, November 21, 2013 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm at BHCW, 3020 W. Vliet Street.

Dr. Patricia McManus, President & CEO of BHCW, will provide a presentation that will include an ACA overview and information specific to the Medicaid changes that are occurring in Wisconsin.

To assist with the on-site enrollment process, attendees are asked to be sure to have information about them and their family, including income, household size, other coverage they are eligible for and other key information.

Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin (BHCW) is one of the few organizations in the Milwaukee area that received an Affordable Care Act (ACA) Navigator grant from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services through the National Healthy Start Association. This grant allows BHCW to provide ACA related outreach and education to anyone in Milwaukee County. Additionally, BHCW is providing training sessions to organizations and assistance with enrollment.

For questions about the community forum or to RSVP, please contact Johnny at 414-933-0064 ext. 200 or jking@bhcw.org. To learn more about BHCW, please visit the organization’s website at www.bhcw.org and stay up-to-date with current racial health disparities information and community health events via their Facebook page.
