We recently celebrated three years of bringing nutritious food and valuable resources to our patients through the Mobile FARMacy! 🥑🍓

For three years, this initiative has helped address food insecurity and remove barriers to better health by making fresh, nutritious food more accessible to the people we serve.

This milestone is a reminder of what it means to meet patients where they are and support their health beyond the exam room.

Thank you to our dedicated team and everyone who has helped make the Mobile FARMacy possible. Here's to continuing this important work together!

For Jax Capistran, Front-End Instructor with Care Model Academy, Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to celebrate her Mexican-American identity, carry family traditions forward and honor the generations who shaped her.

From gathering for Nochebuena to teaching her children to honor loved ones on Día de los Mu***os, Jax finds meaning in the traditions that connect her family across generations.

At CommUnityCare Health Centers, she brings that same sense of familismo, putting family and community first, to her work training team members and serving the neighborhoods where she grew up.

Hispanic Heritage Month Spotlight: Arlene Melendez 🇲🇽

For Arlene Melendez, Care Model Front-End Instructor at CommUnityCare Health Centers, Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the traditions, values and connections that bring generations together.

From family celebrations like Día de los Mu***os and Christmas Eve gatherings to the lessons of “trabaja duro” (work hard), Arlene’s Mexican-American heritage has shaped her approach to life and community.

Since joining CommUnityCare Health Centers in 2022, she’s found meaningful ways to give back to the community, reflecting a value her mother taught her: “Familia es todo, y la comunidad también.” Family is everything, and so is community.

💬 “I’m proud to be Hispanic because of the strength, love and determination our culture carries.”
