ACA 4 STL – Education and Outreach Collaborative Effort

October 28, 2015 By Jason Baker

ACA 4 STL – this is how we named our recent endeavor to support diverse communities of Saint Louis.  Joint efforts bring about great results as we begin educating immigrant communities on Affordable Care Act. Having partnered with Behavioral Health Network and Vitendo 4 Africa, our multilingual staff is preparing for a busy Marketplace enrollment season.  Enrollment isn’t only for those who have no healthcare coverage.  It also provides an opportunity to look at available plans, choose a more suitable option or make any changes to the existing coverage.  To those who do not speak English as their first language, understanding of ACA is especially challenging.  We thank Missouri Foundation for Health for supporting our efforts and providing necessary funding.  Missouri Foundation for Health is a resource for the region, working with communities and nonprofits to generate and accelerate positive changes in health. As a catalyst for change, the Foundation improves the health of Missourians through a combination of partnership, experience, knowledge and funding.

Lorna Vaughn, MA provides education on ACA facts

If you wish to learn about Affordable Care Act, seek information in a language Other Than English, or are interested in a public event, please, contact Lorna Vaughn at 314-645-7800 or via E-mail

lorna.vaughn@bilingualstl.org.  Licensed bilingual navigators will be available during the educational sessions for confidential Marketplace counseling and enrollment assistance.

The United Way of Greater St. Louis Safety Net of local nonprofit agencies helps one out of every three residents in our region. THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE, and it includes many of us on staff here at Bilingual International. Which is part of the reason why we are proud to host - for the second year now - an admittedly modest employee contribution campaign to support the same Safety Net that funds our work. Unite with us and learn more at Helpingpeople.org/2023-campaign/#UniteWithUs #helpinghere ... See MoreSee Less
