The Cal State San Bernardino DREAMers Resource and Success Center will host its first “Undocu-Health Fair” on Saturday, June 4.
The free event, which is open to the public, will be held from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. in the Visual Arts Center patio area. Activities for children will be provided. The weekend daily parking rate (Friday at 5:01 p.m.- Sunday) is $3.
Informational sessions on health care resources and initiatives in California for undocumented families as well as other on-site resources will be offered during the fair.
Medi-Cal counselors also will be on site to assist those who wish to enroll. Interested participants should bring:
- Proof of identity (driver’s license or photo ID);
- Proof of income (paycheck stub or bank statement);
- Birth certificate of the child (regardless of country of origin);
- Proof of address (utility bill or phone bill); and
- Medi-Cal card for other family members (if available).
“Many of our undocumented families are unaware of the health services available to them,” said Maria Barragan-Arreguin, administrative support coordinator for the DREAMer’s center. “For that reason, our DRSC will be hosting its very first Undocu-Health Fair.”
The center focuses on bringing awareness to the California Dream Act about financial aid, employment opportunities, scholarships, internships, immigration services, information about graduate school and other resources that will help achieve student success.
