“The past few years has taught us all a lesson on the importance of staying healthy. I am proud to be partnering with many of Orange County’s finest organizations to help residents re-focus on their general healthcare, free of cost,” said Senator Umberg.
“The residents of the City of Anaheim benefit from effective and thoughtful partnerships; this community health and resource event is a perfect example of exactly that” noted Joe Perez, Executive Director, of the Ponderosa Park Family Resource Center.
