Hygiene Closets & 24/7 Care: How Superior HealthPlan Puts Medicaid Dollars to Work
When a Tyler teacher told Superior HealthPlan, “Sometimes it’s the small things that keep kids in class,” she wasn’t talking about textbooks; she meant deodorant, toothpaste, and laundry soap.
With Superior HealthPlan, those “small things” now fill Hygiene Closets in schools across Texas, giving kids the dignity and confidence they need to focus on learning.
What’s a Hygiene Closet?
A dedicated shelf (or full room) stocked with no-cost personal-care items:
- Deodorant, shampoo, soap, laundry detergent
- Diapers and feminine products
- Dental-care kits
Since 2020, Superior has invested $700,000 in start-up grants—$5,000 per closet—to launch nearly 30 locations statewide. Superior HealthPlanSuperior HealthPlan
Beyond the Closet: Care That Never Clocks Out
Superior’s work doesn’t stop at the school door. Through its partnership with Imagine Pediatrics, families with medically complex children now get 24/7 virtual and in-home pediatric support, reducing ER visits and giving parents peace of mind. Superior HealthPlanImagine Pediatrics
Together, we’re proving that Texas Medicaid works in classrooms, living rooms, and virtual exam rooms across the Lone Star State.
