FREE MEDICAL, DENTAL AND VISION SCREENINGS FOR RESIDENTS IN THE INLAND EMPIRE

To provide the uninsured with free access to health care and needed resources, Molina Healthcare, Molina Medical and Tzu Chi Medical Foundation will host their 2nd annual Care 4 a Healthy I.E. event. Care 4 a Healthy I.E. brings together hundreds of health care professionals and local organizations to provide care for those most in need. Services offered include medical, dental and vision screenings as well as acupuncture services.



Last year, Care 4 a Healthy I.E. served more than 2400 people over the three days; 80% of those served were uninsured. Some even traveled from as far as Oakland in Northern California. The event is open to the public on a first come, first served basis.



For more information about the event visit Care4aHealthyCommunity.com or call 1-855-MOLINA1 (665-4621).

San Bernardino is the second poorest large city in the country where 25.1% of its residents under age 65 are without health insurance. In Riverside County, the uninsured under age 65 is even higher at 28%. Together, Molina Healthcare and the Tzu Chi Medical Foundation hope to better the health of an underserved community.
