Qualcomm and Samuel H. & Katherine Weaver French Fund<br />
Support Mobile Medical Unit Program<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> thanks Qualcomm and Samuel H. &<br />
Katherine Weaver French Fund for their generous grants to the KidCare<br />
Express Mobile Medical Unit Program this summer. These complete<br />
“medical clinics on wheels” provide health care services to medically<br />
underserved children and youth at local schools and community sites.<br />
With longstanding partners like Qualcomm and Samuel H. & Katherine<br />
Weaver French Fund, our three KidCare Express Mobile Medical Units are<br />
able to stay on the road, bringing needed medical care to children and<br />
families in their neighborhood.<br />
KidCare Express helps many local children, such as a recent elementary<br />
school student who was referred from her PE class for foot pain. Provider<br />
staff on the KidCare Express agreed the foot should be x-rayed and found<br />
two small breaks. The patient was treated and is once again active during her<br />
physical education class many thanks to the care she accessed on the KidCare<br />
Express.<br />
Thank you Qualcomm, and Samuel H. & Katherine Weaver French Fund<br />
for supporting this great program!<br />

Back to School <strong>Health</strong> Fair at<br />
Westfield Plaza Bonita<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong>’s<br />
Dr. Alan Zieg Meets with<br />
U.S. Surgeon General<br />
It’s back to school time! For many <strong>of</strong> our pediatric<br />
patients, this means they need immunizations and<br />
dental screenings. It’s also a good time for parents<br />
and siblings to get a check-up. Our Chula Vista<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Center was proud to partner with<br />
Westfield Plaza Bonita to <strong>of</strong>fer these needed services<br />
via our KidCare Express Mobile Medical Unit at the<br />
mall on August 14. Radio Latina 104.5 FM and<br />
Mariachi Chula Vista provided great music while<br />
people waited, and almost 200 kids and adults were<br />
served. That’s a lot <strong>of</strong> vaccines and health screenings!<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong>’s Chief <strong>of</strong> OB/<br />
GYN Services, Dr. Alan Zieg, was invited to meet<br />
with U.S. Surgeon General VADM Regina M.<br />
Benjamin in early August. The Surgeon General<br />
and Dr. Zieg discussed the nationwide campaign to<br />
fight childhood obesity and key challenges facing<br />
community health centers. Dr. Zieg shared his<br />
experiences as a National <strong>Health</strong> Service Corps<br />
Scholar and the reasons why he chooses to work at<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong>.

Great Support for Pediatric Waiting Room Reading Program<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> would like to thank CareFusion’s Hispanic Organization for<br />
Leadership and Awareness (HOLA) members and Nancie & Hana Helders for generously donating<br />
hundreds <strong>of</strong> books to our Pediatric Waiting Room Reading program.<br />
CareFusion’s HOLA (Hispanic Organization for<br />
Leadership and Awareness) members organized a<br />
book drive and collected approximately 1,000<br />
children’s books (in both English and Spanish)<br />
from <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> CareFusion employees. The<br />
books were then delivered by the truck load for<br />
distribution to our pediatric waiting room<br />
bookshelves.<br />
Many thanks CareFusion!<br />
Nancie Helders, age 9, asked her birthday guests<br />
to bring a book to donate at her birthday party and<br />
collected over two hundred books. She and her<br />
sister, Hana Helders, age 7, also generously went<br />
through their books and added a few favorites that<br />
they have out grown. Nancie and Hana delivered<br />
the books to City Heights <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Center<br />
and placed the books in the waiting room.<br />
Nice work Nancie and Hana!<br />
If you would like to donate your books or organize a new or gently used book drive to gather books for our<br />
Pediatric Waiting Room Reading Program please call 619-515-2562.<br />

The staff at Chase Avenue <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Center welcomed<br />
Congressman Duncan Hunter to their site during the August<br />
Congressional recess.<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Centers</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> staff Jennette<br />
Lawrence, Adriana Cortez, Raquel Zamarripa, David<br />
Fleming, Congressman Duncan Hunter, Teresa Olds, Nancy<br />
Vargas-Ortiz, and Abigail Cardona meet at Chase Avenue<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Center.<br />
Congressman Hunter came to learn more about how the health<br />
center provides cost effective services to uninsured and<br />
underserved families. He talked with providers David Fleming,<br />
PA and Chris Gordon, MD about the importance <strong>of</strong> the walk-in<br />
clinic and the types <strong>of</strong> working families that call Chase Avenue<br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Center their medical home. A few pediatric<br />
patients gave him a demonstration <strong>of</strong> how much they are enjoying<br />
their newly constructed play area in the clinic courtyard!
