  • Mobile Multi-Service Center Clinic

    Community Center San Juan Capistrano, CA – Feb. 17, 2010

    On Wednesday, February 17, iHOPE hosted the Illumination Foundation's Mobile Multi-Service Center clinic at the San Juan Capistrano Community Center/ Boys and Girls Club from 5:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. The Illumination Foundation and iHOPE are nonprofits addressing the homeless crisis in Orange County by providing services and resources. Over 250 homeless and low-income individuals received free medical and vision care, and were connected to medical and social resources such as housing and job referrals, insurance information, and legal advice. Vision care, including access to free prescription eye-glasses, was recently added to the van services in response to data that shows Orange County has one of the highest proportions of overweight children and teens compared to the national average. The high-risk of diabetes and eye disease for these children increases the need for vision care. The addition of vision services was also in response to last summer’s State Government cut of glasses benefits to most of the adult MediCal population. The mobile medical van will be in the South Orange County area again Wednesday, March 17 at St. Timothy's Catholic Church in Laguna Niguel. For more information please contact (949) 212-4420.
