What is the MCCP Foundation?
• The MCCP Foundation funds health care for the children of low-income, uninsured working families in Fairfax County.
• Despite being one of the wealthiest counties in the nation, there are still many thousands of children in our community who don't have access to doctors and dentists when they need.
• MCCP has been keeping children healthy for 25 years through the generosity of our community!
How does it work?
• MCCP-eligible children have working parents who don’t have access to health insurance and whose incomes are too high for Medicaid but too low to be able to afford health care – for a family of four, the income level cut-off is about $55,000.
• MCCP Foundation is a public, private, partnership that is a proven model of community problem-solving. Private donations and grants are leveraged with local tax dollars to provide high quality health care. Our partners are Fairfax County government; our corporate, foundation and individual financial supporters; and the medical community—Kaiser Permanente and 300 other doctors and dentists who provide low or no cost care.
• MCCP provides families with a support system that ensures access to health care. Fairfax County provides case management for our families so that they have the supports they need. Supports include transportation, language assistance, and help accessing specialty care that might be needed.
Some success stories:
Eddie Royal was an MCCP-supported child. He had terrible asthma problems but now plays for the Denver Broncos!
Emmanuel is a brand new Eagle Scout and will start VCU in the fall. He doesn’t know yet if he will be an Air Force pilot or a lawyer. Maybe both?
Ericka is an MCCP graduate who is a junior now at George Mason working on her engineering degree.
Jorge Ramallo is a medical student at Yale University. He was enrolled in the MCCP program and achieved great success as a student.
Please remember:
• Our mission is to assure that every child receives the medical and dental care that they need to thrive and realize their dreams in good health.
• Sick kids can’t wait for the economy to improve, and we’re not waiting either.
• MCCP Foundation is a successful, established model that works.
• Your donation is not just charity, it is an investment in our community’s children and, therefore, in our collective future.
