Bridge to Home, in partnership with the Samuel Dixon Family Health Center, Inc., will present the “Bridge to Health Fair” event, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Friday, June 29, at the Samuel Dixon Family Health Center Newhall location at 23772 Newhall Avenue, Newhall, CA, 91321.

Medical and Dental providers will be available on-site to provide healthcare basics and answer health concerns from community members. Free resources and health screenings will include body-mass indexing, blood pressure checks, blood glucose checks, vision testing, dental screening, tuberculosis and STI testing, mental health counseling, substance use case management referral services, and healthcare enrollment. The event is free and open to the public, including food and giveaways.

“We are proud to partner with Bridge To Home and pool our resources to help individuals and families access critical services needed for their health and well-being. Our mission, vision and values align and complement each other as we are committed to helping Santa Clarita’s most vulnerable,” said Chief Executive Officer of SDFHC Philip Solomon.

Bridge To Home provides a variety of community services in its comprehensive “housing first approach” for individuals experiencing homelessness in the Santa Clarita Valley, helping them transition from emergency to permanent housing, through case management, housing navigation, and medical clinics. “For the last 20 years Bridge to Home has helped thousands of individuals and families get back on track.

These people have in turn given back to the shelter, as well as the community,” said Director of Programs Chris Najarro. “The Bridge to Health Fair is one small part of that puzzle in our community, providing critical care services not just to our clients, but free to all local residents who may need healthcare interventions to improve their lives. Events like this make our community a better, healthier place.”

For details about the “Bridge to Health Fair” event, call (661) 254-4663. To help support healthcare needs in the Santa Clarita Valley, or to find out more about needed donations and volunteering at Bridge To Home, please visit BtoHome.org, or email volunteers@btohome.org.

“For those who have fallen on hard times, Bridge To Home provides relief, hope and the knowledge that they have a place to go and someone to turn to. We can help people, we can guide people, we can change people’s lives, but we can’t do it alone,” Najarro said.
