On January 13^th, CHC participated in Cuesta College’s “Popalotzi” Latina Summit, where 60 Chicana and Latina teens gathered to receive information, motivation and inspiration about attending college. CHC Health Educators Gloria Johnson and Cristina Sedowski provided information on Women’s Health issues, teen pregnancy and STD’s. Medical Assistant Imelda Guzman answered vocational questions about working in the medical industry. Many thanks to these ladies for taking time out of their Saturday to empower local Latinas in making informed decisions about their future.

Spreading CHC's Brand of Holiday Cheer

The holidays were a magical time at CHC, with a flurry of activities around the Central Coast. This year we participated in the Santa Maria Elks Holiday Parade with more than 30 staff members volunteering to walk in the parade, handing out “goodie bags” and spreading CHC’s special brand of holiday cheer. Special thanks to Irma Mejia for coordinating our entry in the parade, to Patty Starr for driving the mobile van, and to all the volunteers who helped decorate the mobile unit, assembled goodie bags, and brave the chill with big grins – Thank You!
