Even after the full implementation of the Affordable Care Act, 1 in 10 Americans remain without health insurance. An even greater number report going years without seeing a dental or vision professional because they just cannot afford it. California CareForce is a group of healthcare professionals, community leaders, and engaged citizens who provide free dental, vision and medical care to those in need at 3-day, volunteer-led clinics across California. Our volunteers believe that everyone, regardless of their background, deserves access to healthcare. As such, we make no restrictions based on income, employment, or immigration status. We do not require insurance or ID to serve patients and all services are provided at no cost.
The services offered at most California CareForce clinics include: general check-ups and physicals in our Medical Section; cleanings, extractions, and fillings in our Dental Section; and, eye health checks, vision exams, and custom prescription glasses made on-site in our Vision Section.
Since 2011, over 14,000 volunteers have provided healthcare services to more than 30,000 individuals, delivering $13.4 million worth of care, through our clinics.
California CareForce has held clinics in Oakland, Sacramento, Grass Valley, the Coachella Valley, Gold Country and the Greater Los Angeles area.
