Discover Local Resources and Services
One of the best perks of attending the health fair is the opportunity to learn about essential healthcare services available in Orange County. From primary care physicians to specialists in behavioral health and dental services, you can explore what local providers offer. With the recent designation of FTOC as a fully funded Federally Qualified Health Center, attendees can expect a wealth of information on new and improved healthcare services aimed at serving our diverse community.
Additionally, local nonprofits focused on health, wellness, and education will have a presence, creating a robust network of support for families looking to improve their health literacy and access to care available in the area. It’s a fantastic chance to ask questions, meet experts, and gather information that could be transformative for your whole family.

Making health fun for families is a key goal of the Community Health Fair. Kids can enjoy storytelling sessions, arts and crafts, and educational games that promote healthy habits. Families can participate in a scavenger hunt to learn about different health resources available throughout Orange County, making the experience both engaging and educational.
At the fair, look out for family yoga classes— it’s a delightful way to reconnect with your loved ones while focusing on health in a refreshing outdoor setting. The entire family can unwind, strengthen bonds, and learn new skills together amidst Tustin’s sunny backdrop.
