Winter 2024 Health Fair at Westminster Rose Center
For our Winter Health Fair, our 68 volunteers were pleased to serve 188 patients. Through our
collaborations with providers, VCH was able to provide screenings such as vision, cholesterol,
hemoglobin and many more services to help alleviate some of the health disparities within the
Vietnamese and Hispanic communities. We would not have been able to achieve this level of
success without the support of our providers and compassion of our volunteers.

This quarter, our volunteers were able to serve 102 patients at Del Amo Plaza in Rancho
Dominguez and Asian Garden Mall in Westminster. Through our 8 successful health sites
throughout weeks 2-7, we were able to offer basic health screenings such as hypertension,
vision, and BMI to our service recipients. VCH also had the opportunity to volunteer with Shower
of Hope to help provide showers and other necessities to the unhoused community in LA!
Nutrition
This quarter, Nutrition created campaign
posters to promote health practices at
our Health Fair. They also created small
interactive projects like fun fact
brochures and Instagram story quizzes!
