San Bernardino is hosting what’s being billed as the largest free weekend health clinic ever held in the Inland Empire.
The free medical services are being provided by Molina Healthcare. The Long Beach-based care provider serves more than 4 million people on Medicaid and other government programs nationwide.
Low-income people of all ages who qualify for the weekend clinic have access to a range of care including dental, vision, vaccines and even acupuncture. Patients can also have prescriptions filled on site.
Organizers expect several thousand individuals and families to visit the clinic. Doctors and other health care staff will be available from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, and from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Sunday at the National Orange Show Events Center in San Bernardino.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
