Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) Acting Secretary Dr. Val Arkoosh and representatives from East End Cooperative Ministry (EECM), East Liberty Family Health Center, and Pennie® highlighted how the Shapiro Administration, Pennie, and community organizations are collaborating to support Pennsylvanians through federal changes to Medicaid and CHIP renewal requirements so they can protect their health and stay covered. "Now that we have returned to pre-pandemic renewal requirements, everyone who receives their health coverage through the state will need to complete a renewal sometime in the next year," said Acting Secretary Arkoosh. "I urge any Pennsylvanian who receives health coverage through the state to be aware of changes to our Medicaid and CHIP programs and take action so they can protect themselves and stay covered. Keep your contact information up to date with DHS, watch for information about your renewal, and when it is your turn, complete your Medicaid or CHIP renewal on time to stay covered."Speakers Include:Michael G.
