Getting regular check-ups and tests for preventative care is now more important than ever.

We value farmworkers in #VenturaCounty. Day in and day out, even during the pandemic and wildfires, farmworkers keep our food systems going. Farmworkers were among the first to get vaccinated in Ventura County and continue to encourage our community to protect each other.
