Since our founding, our nonprofit Council has proudly organized a free health fair every year. We believe health care is a human right. As we continue our fight towards Single-Payer Healthcare in California, we organize an annual free health clinic for our community. It brings essential medical, dental, and vision services. It is open to all regardless of insurance status or documentation status. It provides completely free same-day services to everyone on a first-come, first-served basis. Although resources vary year to year. We always have local providers volunteer their time to make it possible for all to access quality healthcare. Providers include doctors providing checkups and student sports physicals, dentists providing extractions and fillings, dental hygienists providing cleanings, optometrists providing eye exams, eye prescriptions and prescription eyeglasses, and nurses providing vaccinations.

A medida que continuamos nuestra lucha hacia la atención médica de pagador único en California, organizamos una clínica de salud gratuita anual para nuestra comunidad. Brinda servicios médicos, dentales y oftalmológicos esenciales. Está abierto a todos, independientemente del estado del seguro o del estado de la documentación. Brinda servicios completamente gratuitos en el mismo día a todos por orden de llegada. Aunque los recursos varían de año en año. Siempre contamos con proveedores locales que ofrecen su tiempo como voluntarios para hacer posible que todos accedan a una atención médica de calidad. Los proveedores incluyen médicos que brindan chequeos y exámenes físicos deportivos para estudiantes, dentistas que brindan extracciones y empastes, higienistas dentales que brindan limpiezas, optometristas que brindan exámenes de la vista, recetas de ojos y anteojos recetados, y enfermeros que proporcionan vacunas.
