New look for NC Healthy Start Foundation Web site

(11/05) -- As you may have noticed, the NC Healthy Start Foundation web site has undergone an "extreme makeover" for its 15th year anniversary. Although the HC/NCHC Outreach Workers Web Site is at the same address (http://www.nchealthystart.org/outreach/), the neighborhood has dramatically changed!

The NC Healthy Start Foundation website now consists of three different portals -- one for the Public, one for Professionals, and one for Spanish speakers (titled "En Español" which is still under construction).

"For the Public" contains information about free or low-cost Child Health Insurance. It also has an introduction to what a Medical Home is and how to use it.

"For Professionals" has more specific program and campaign information, as well as outreach materials.

	Under Campaigns, you'll find information and resources for the Health Check/NC Health Choice, Medical Home, and Ana María campaigns.
	Under Catalog & Order Forms, you'll find Health Check/NC Health Choice and Medical Home outreach materials, as well as downloadable and online order forms.
	Under Programs, you'll find the link to this site -- the HC/NCHC Outreach Workers Web site.

As before, you can get to the Outreach Workers Web site quickly and easily by "bookmarking" the Home page. If you are using Microsoft's Internet Explorer, go to the Home page, go to the toolbar at the top of the page, select "Favorites," and then select "Add to Favorites" from the dropdown menu. If you are using Netscape Navigator, go to the Home page and simply press Ctrl + D (press the Control (CTRL) key and the letter "D" simultaneously). The page will automatically be added to "Bookmarks" on the top toolbar. (In older versions of Netscape Navigator, "Bookmarks" will appear under "Communicator" on the top toolbar.)

The "En Español" section is slated to be up-and-running by January 1, 2006. It will be an exact replica of the "For the Public" website, with "Child Health Insurance" information available in "Seguro médico para niños" and "Medical Home" information in "Hogar Médico." Look for the upcoming announcement of its grand opening.
