Good news after almost four months of uncertainty – the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) has been renewed for six years; a relief to all who rely on the program.

It’s expected that long term funding will be included in the next spending bill to be tabled early February, but with no clear timeframe on renewal, many health centers are in limbo.
