Pregnant? Looking for medical insurance?<\/p>\n<p>My name is Mackenzie Morgan, and I am the family health coordinator for San Juan Basin Health. In my position, I help pregnant women and children ages 0 through 20 apply for state medical insurance and connect them with various resources throughout the community.<\/p>\n<p>I serve La Plata, San Juan, Dolores, Montezuma and Archuleta counties to connect our community to nearby health services. I also schedule appointments with clients to find out whether or not they are eligible for state-run health insurances (CHP+ or Medicaid.) For those who are eligible to apply for these programs, I am more than happy to assist in filling out applications.<\/p>\n<p>We can go over your options for primary and mental healthcare in your area, along with other community resources, like housing assistance, volunteer opportunities, or finding a school for your kids. Let me know your interests, and I will do what I can to connect you with appropriate services in the counties I serve.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in finding affordable insurance, already insured with Medicaid or CHP+ and have questions, or want to know more about some of the assistance programs our community has to offer, call me at 970-335-2022, email me at <a href=\"mailto:mmorgan@sjbhd.org\">mmorgan@sjbhd.org<\/a>, or stop by the health department at 281 Sawyer Drive, just west of the Durango Mall.
