<DIV><FONT color=#004080>Hi all!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#004080>This is my first time posting to the Health Literacy
site or any large site for that matter. Here is a bit that I sent to Julie but
would like all of you to see and hopefully to respond to. We would really like
to reach the largest population possible in our area so that more children can
have health insurance and more families and parents can receive the help that
they need. Thank you for any assistance that you can give us.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Previous Letter:
<DIV><FONT color=#004080>I have really enjoyed the discussion about literacy and
health care. I work for The Children's Center, Inc. but my main position for the
last 2 years has been as the Galveston County representative for CHIP/Children's
Medicaid. We are about to expand that to most of the services the state of Texas
offers to needy people and we are expanding into two other counties. I am
interested in the Adult Literacy Educators and how we can be of assistance to
each other. If we were to join with you in coming into your classes with
information and application assistance on these services we would be able to
reach a much wider segment of the needy population and we would be able to bring
these services in to your population where they are most needed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#004080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#004080>Together we could serve a segment of the population
which has been under-served. And you could help us to reach the people we have
here-to-for had a very difficult time reaching. If there were any way to connect
adult literacy people with CHIP/Medicaid people I know that it would be a
union made in heaven. We have been trying to reach the population that our
services are meant for but in some cases it is very difficult. Does anyone have
any suggestions as to how we might get the two groups together?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#004080>Thank you, Julie, for the opportunity to interact
with so many people.</FONT></DIV>
