Young family? Pregnant? Looking for medical insurance?

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.

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.

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.

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 mmorgan@sjbhd.org, or stop by the health department at 281 Sawyer Drive, just west of the Durango Mall. I hope to meet you soon; tell your friends!
