Health And Enrollment Fair Hosted In Orange County

TUSTIN, CA — A nonprofit community health center in Orange County welcomed families to an enrollment fair Wednesday, organizers said.

The fair hosted local representatives to talk about government programs, along with services offered at the nonprofit Families Together of Orange County. The event also included a mini farmers market and a karate performance.

Families together offers services to parents and children and has worked to make healthcare more accessible for county residents.

Last year, the nonprofit expanded its virtual health program with the launch of a new virtual clinic, which will expand healthcare access for more than 800,000 Medi-Cal patients in Orange County.

Services available through the virtual clinic include family planning, general medical consultations, pediatric and women's health visits, prescription refills and more to come in the future. The services are provided in both English and Spanish. According the statement, the nonprofit works to bridge the health equity gap in the lower-income and vulnerable populations in Orange County.

"Our number one priority at Families Together has always been to provide high-quality services to everyone, regardless of insurance or economic status," CEO of Families Together OC Alexander Rossel said in a statement. "So with this expansion into a virtual clinic, we're doing just that."

Patients can make an appointment with the virtual clinic by calling 1-800-597-7977. For residents who are interested in becoming patients, they can schedule an in-person consultation at Families Together prior to accessing the virtual clinic.
