It was a great day spent at the 14th Annual Glendale Health Festival amongst very gifted and dedicated colleagues and volunteers who have come together to provide free medical, dental, vision and other health services to the community all free of charge. It is lovely to be joined by my family in this festive event promoting healthy lifestyles and preventative care. I am humbled to see that an event in which I was a cofounder and served as the chairman of the organizing committee for several years continues to thrive and meet the healthcare needs for so many in need. Since its founding in 2011, the Glendale Health Festival has aimed to reduce healthcare disparities by offering services to the uninsured and underinsured. Thousands of community members have benefitted over the years, and this year’s event ensured no one is turned away. The Glendale Health Festival is made possible through the efforts of AAMS and partners including: Medical Mission Adventures, Power of Sight Foundation, Bluebox, the City of Glendale, Glendale Community Services & Parks Department, Office of State Senator Sasha Renee Perez, Office of Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, Glendale Police Department, Armenian American Nurses and Allied Health Professionals, ARTN, Adventist Health Glendale, ComfortCare, Dignity Health Glendale Memorial Hospital, USC Verdugo Hills Hospital, Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, and Regal Medical Group and Lakeside Community Healthcare.
