Thousands to receive free medical, dental and vision care

LOS ANGELES – For an eighth straight year, L.A. Care is proud to be a Presenting Sponsor of Care Harbor/LA, a free clinic that provides medical, dental and vision care to thousands of uninsured, underinsured and at-risk Angelenos each year. Care Harbor/LA has served more than 23,000 patients with the help of 22,000 volunteers since its first clinic in 2011. The clinic handles high patient volume efficiently while creating a compassionate, welcoming environment.

 

This year’s clinic is being held October 13-15, at The REEF, 1933 South Broadway in downtown Los Angeles.

To enter the clinic and receive services, people must pick up a free wristband at one of two locations the weekend prior to the clinic. Wristbands will be available:

• Saturday, October 6, at the Ted Watkins Park Fieldhouse, 1335 E. 103rd Street.
• Sunday, October 7, at Los Angeles Trade Tech College, 2115 South Grand Avenue

Distribution will begin at 10 am each day.

L.A. Care staff will be on hand all three days of the clinic to provide additional information about health care services.  For any questions about the clinic, please visit Care Harbor’s Patient Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page. If you are interested in volunteering, please visit Care Harbor’s Volunteer Registration page.

L.A. Care and Care Harbor share a desire to serve the most vulnerable communities in Los Angeles County and help residents live healthier lives. We encourage people who have no other access to quality health care to take advantage of this important opportunity.
