Molina Healthcare of Ohio is proud to partner with the Easterseals of Central and Southeast Ohio to support the Ohio Governor's Imagination Library with a financial grant. The Ohio Governor's Imagination Library, a program of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, provides age-appropriate reading materials to families with children from birth to age five across the state. The reading materials are provided to any family who requests to participate in the Ohio Governor's Imagination Library, and the goal is to grow the program to provide every Ohio child, regardless of location in the state, with books to help support their literacy.
"Molina Healthcare is committed to the children and new mothers and caregivers of Ohio," said Ami Cole, plan president of Molina Healthcare of Ohio. "We know that when children are provided the best learning resources, including age-appropriate books, they build a love for learning. This intellectual foundation is so important for the overall health of the child as they grow, and the books donated by the Ohio Governor's Imagination Library provide mothers and caregivers the tools they need to set their children up for success. We look forward to helping this program grow in counties across the state – especially southeast Ohio with the great work of Easterseals."
The First Lady of Ohio, Fran DeWine, is a passionate advocate for early childhood literacy and recognizes the importance of the Ohio Governor's Imagination Library and Molina's partnership.
"I am thrilled that Molina Healthcare is partnering with the Ohio Governor's Imagination Library to help us put more books in the hands of Ohio's youth," said First Lady DeWine. "Early access to books is critical to a child's success inside the classroom and beyond, and we want every child in Ohio to be able to register in the Ohio Governor's Imagination Library. We are so close to making this program available in every zip code in Ohio thanks to our amazing community partners like Molina Healthcare."
