What/Who:
DC Health Link will target the young invincible audience this weekend at two events, the release of the popular Air Jordan 12 sneakers and at the late night/early morning hang outs at Denny’s restaurants.
At the Air Jordan release, the Assisters will meet hundreds of young men and women standing in lines anxious to be among the first to purchase the new Jordan sneakers. Assisters will walk the rope line and distribute information about the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and DC Health Link, the District’s new online marketplace for health insurance coverage. Assisters will also encourage the younger generation to make appointments to enroll in affordable health insurance plans.
At the Denny’s Restaurants where the young people visit after a night out, Assisters will set up shop to provide information, answer questions and enroll residents in affordable health plans.
