today we're here at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena which, for the weekend
has been turned into a massive community health clinic by an organization called
Care Harbor LA
Care Harbor LA is a non-profit organization that helps uninsured and
underserved populations
working with local community resources, they host free clinics providing
comprehensive medical,
dental, and vision care to families were without access to the health care they need
clinics are staffed by medical professionals who volunteer
like the students and faculty who are here from American Career College
this annual four-day event provides care, services, and supplies that total more
than two million dollars
more than 100 students and faculty from American Career College are representing
the dental assistant,
medical assistant, and optical programs

uhh, to get involved in the community, plus it up also

of things that we're provide for the uhh community today

volunteering at the Care Harbor event is a wonderful experience for students
who can also benefit from being here
all sorts of good experience and maybe to uhh
