We bring free diabetes and hypertension screenings directly to residents at Los Angeles shelters and transitional housing. At these events, we always bring games and crafts to create a relaxed and community-centered vibe! Regardless if you receive a screening, all are welcome to join our events to destress, talk, and have fun.
Our team prioritize forming connections above all else, valuing trust over rushing patients through their tests, We also emphasize patient education and health awareness during our events, are are excited to connect you to local resources. .
We strongly believe that the health of our mind and soul are interconnected with our physical well-being. Our holistic approach to health screenings aims to encourage patients to be active in their health journey and feel supported along the way.
