hawk-i (healthy and well kids in Iowa) is a low-cost or no-cost health care program designed for children ages 0-19. Hundreds of children in our community will unnecessarily spend time sick and in pain because their parents are unaware of the hawk-i option. The CCVNA goal is to give every child in our community access to health care. Contact either the CCVNA at 563-245-1145 or toll-free 888-836-7867 to speak with the CCVNA hawk-i Outreach Coordinator or call hawk-i at 1-800-257-8563 with any questions regarding applications, eligibility, or coverage.
