The Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) "Gateway" Program
Program Description - April 2003

This fact sheet describes the new CHDP Gateway Program that will be launched on July 1, 2003. The CHDP program provides free services to over two million low-income children and youth for the early detection and prevention of disease and disabilities. Two-thirds of the children are under five years of age. Of the 2.2 million children served through CHDP, 1.1 million are enrolled in Medi-Cal. The remaining 1.1 million children served by CHDP are uninsured. Most of these uninsured children are eligible but not enrolled in Medi-Cal or Healthy Families.
