The Alabama Department of Public Health requested that we share this information with you:
Health coverage for children is one of the most important school supplies there is!

If your child needs health insurance, ALL Kids Alabama is low-cost, comprehensive healthcare coverage for eligible children under the age of 19 who reside in Alabama. With ALL Kids Alabama, children and teens can get the immunizations, regular check-ups, eye exams, mental health, and other care that helps them stay healthy so they flourish in school.
