Health Disparities Program

We want our Indigenous communities to be healthy and well. Our Health Disparities program supports Indigenous communities accessing health and navigation services in Fresno County. We focus on assisting our community in accessing COVID-19 vaccines, COVID-19 testing, blood pressure and glucose checks, medication refills, referrals within the community, and conducting case management. Additionally, we conduct monthly community meetings and host semi-monthly Rural Mobile Health Clinics in different rural towns in Fresno County.  

 

Storm Assistance for Immigrants (SAI)

The Storm Assistance for Immigrants (SAI) program is a one-time state-funded recovery service to provide disaster relief, case management, and direct assistance to eligible individuals who experienced hardship from the storms and cannot access federal assistance due to immigration status. The SAI program is available in California counties where the President issued a Major Disaster Declaration and approved individual assistance in those counties because of the impact of the storms. CBDIO is assisting only Madera County residents. For the SAI program, we provide services in Chatino, Mixteco, Zapoteco, Triqui, Spanish, and English.
