The CHDP program is a preventive health program serving California's children and youth . CHDP makes early health care available to children and youth with health problems as well as to those who seem well.
Many children and youth in California have unmet health needs. Through the CHDP program, eligible children and youth receive periodic preventive health assessments. Children and youth with suspected problems are then referred for diagnosis and treatment. Many health problems can be prevented or corrected, or the severity reduced, by early detection and prompt diagnosis and treatment.
CHDP works with a wide range of health care providers and organizations to ensure that eligible children and youth receive appropriate services. These CHDP providers include private physicians, local health departments, schools, nurse practitioners, dentisits, health educators, nutritionists, laboratories, community clinics, nonprofit health agencies, social and community service agencies.
