Meeting the healthcare needs of people with disabilities is very important. In 2009, Molina started the statewide Bridge2Access (B2A) Statewide Advisory Committee. Input from advocates, community organizations, and members has helped us greatly. As we prepare for the Coordinated Care Initiative (CCI), and Managed Long Term supports and services, we worked with other contracted plans in our county to develop broader advisory groups.
Below are the agendas and meeting minutes of past meetings. If you would like to get minutes/agendas from other meetings or want to be part of the committees, please email us at: bridge2access@molinahealthcare.com.
Statewide Bridge2Access Advisory Committee

Your call will be routed to a referral specialist in your area. 211 is available 24 hours a day/7 days a week and can help you find much needed information or health and human services.
