Happy 10th Anniversary 2-1-1!
On February 11, 1999, Connecticut became the first state in the nation to implement a statewide 2-1-1 system and we celebrate its 10th anniversary this month. However, United Way
2-1-1, previously known as Infoline, was established in 1976 with an 800 number and is actually more than 30 years old! 2-1-1 offers a robust resource for state residents and providers alike who are looking for human services referrals. Visit www.211ct.org or dial 2-1-1 to tap into the State’s most comprehensive, continually updated database of human service resources.

The Department of Social Services is providing a new alternative to enrollment in a managed care plan to some HUSKY A members. Primary Care Case Management (PCCM) is now available to current patients of participating physicians in the Willimantic and Waterbury areas. Under PCCM, a patient’s care is coordinated by a primary care provider (PCP) instead of by a managed care plan. When PCCM is chosen, PCPs become responsible for approving and monitoring all aspects of a patient’s care. For more information visit http://www.ctunitedway.org/husky.html.

The mission of the United Way of Connecticut is to help meet the needs of
Connecticut residents by providing information, education and connection to services.
