Healing California

OUR VISION

 By providing access to dental and vision services at no charge to the community, Healing California is reducing barriers to care and promoting prevention-based public health across our state.

OUR VALUES

We make the safety, health and the dignity of our patients our most urgent priority. By providing a uniquely positive and rewarding volunteer experience, Healing California creates long-term partnerships with our volunteers and the communities we serve. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of governance, accountability, and transparency to maintain the absolute confidence of our donors and partners. We work to ensure our employees at all levels are respected, treated fairly, and empowered to succeed in their roles at Healing California.

OUR PROGRAM

We recruit licensed, professional volunteers to provide dental and vision care at no charge to Veterans and those in need at pop-up community health clinics and veteran stand downs throughout the state. We plan to host 20 clinics in 2020!

Dental Services

We set-up fully equipped dental field stations, where our patients receive complete dental exams and treatment from licensed, volunteer Dentists, Oral Surgeons, Hygienists and other dental professionals. Click here to volunteer with us!

Vision Services

We set-up complete vision exam stations and a fully equipped prescription lens lab at our clinics. Volunteer optometrists, ophthalmologists, opticians and vision technicians provide full-eye exams and fabricate custom prescription eyeglasses on-site, at no charge to patients (usually within an hour or so of their exams).

Our 20 dental chairs and 5 vision lanes enable us to serve up to 150 dental patients and 125 vision patients per day.
