More than healthcare services
We offer benefits that help foster kids grow up healthy and happy.
Free after-school care
Youth age 6 to 18 can get no-cost after-school care at our local partners. To qualify, foster children must complete a Personal Wellness Assessment, an annual wellness visit, and a body mass index (BMI) measurement.
Reach out to your foster child’s GuidedCare Care Coordinator to learn more.
Three free school uniforms every year
Students can get free uniforms. Each uniform includes a polo shirt, pair of pants, and sweater. To qualify, youth must complete an annual Personal Wellness Assessment and an annual wellness exam, and receive required vaccines.

Free rides to care appointments
Every member can get rides for non-emergency care and trips to the pharmacy. We offer free pickups or transit fare, or we can pay you back for gas. Members under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. (Pregnant members of any age can ride without an adult.) Call Member Services to schedule a ride.
My Health Pays™ rewards
Earn a prepaid debit card for making sure your foster child gets needed care. YouthCare will load dollars onto the card every time a member completes their annual wellness exam, receives vaccines, and more.
Training and support for foster families
Learn and connect with other foster and adoptive parents. We offer in-person sessions and live webinars. There are also trauma-informed peer support groups.
