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.

Mary's story is one of remarkable resilience, and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch piece highlights that. What it maybe doesn't adequately do is acknowledge the dense network of nonprofits, community groups, churches, and volunteers that help refugee survivors of war trauma adapt and thrive in our community. St. Louis is blessed with an embarrassment of riches in the do-gooder department, and a shout-out to our own volunteer extraordinaire, Melissa Elliott, for her efforts on Mary's behalf over the years. ...
