CareNow, in partnership with Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas and numerous health organizations, will be hosting the largest free clinic of its kind in the nation on October 20 to 23, 2011 at the Los Angeles Sports Arena located at 3939 S. Figueroa Street in Los Angeles.

CareNow LA will provide free medical, dental and vision services to the uninsured, underinsured and underserved in our community. They will also provide immunizations and screenings including mammograms and Pap smears. Extensive patient education and counseling will promote wellness, prevention and self-care among our most vulnerable population.

CareNow LA will provide follow-up care for those who need further medical attention beyond the event.. Local clinics and healthcare centers have volunteered to provide medical homes for these patients and will have representatives on site to accept referrals. This is a community wide effort – L.A. helping its own.
