DANVILLE, Va. â The COVID-19 pandemic has left hundreds of thousands of Virginians without jobs and health insurance coverage. Project Connect, a special new partnership among the Virginia Health Care Foundation (VHCF), the Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission (TRRC) and the Danville Regional Foundation (DRF) has just been launched to help many local residents obtain needed health insurance from the state.
The Commission and DRF have provided funding to VHCF for an Outreach Worker who will provide 1:1 application assistance to families and individuals interested in obtaining state coverage.
Effective immediately, Francina Jones at Danville-Pittsylvania Community Services is available to provide information about Virginiaâs Medicaid program and to help people apply. She can be reached at 434-770-1641.
