"Everybody deserves really great healthcare. It doesn’t matter what their stage is in life, we want to make sure everyone gets the care they need," said Kevin Fell with Shir Hadash, a Jewish congregation in Los Gatos that organized the event.
Community organizations such as Tzu Chi Medical and the Lions Club set up mobile clinics at Sacred Heart so all the services were in one place. Fell said about 150 volunteers worked to put on the event. Some of them are nursing students from Mission College and San Jose State University. The population in need of these services is often ignored, but translators were on hand to help facilitate conversation with doctors and make sure people are knowledgeable about their own health.
