National Influenza Vaccination Week is a call to all Americans – ages 6 months and older to get their annual flu vaccine if they have not already. Flu continues to be a major public health concern, and during this week, CHC will work to remind people that there is still time to get a flu vaccine to prevent flu illness and potentially serious complications.

CHC is proud to announce the return of and host the annual Day of the Farmworker on Saturday, December 5th, at the Veteran’s Memorial Community Center in Santa Maria. This very special day for the whole family brings together local support agencies, service providers, and more to celebrate and show how we care for our farm workers who put food on our tables.

National Mammography Day is every third Friday during October of each year. On this day, and for the entire month, we hope all women will make a mammography appointment. Regular mammography screenings for women of certain age and risk groups are the most important step in early detection when treatment can be most effective.
