Congresswoman Lofgren Visits San Benito Health Foundation San Benito Health Foundation was pleased to have Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren visit the health center this week. Congress has partnered with Community Health Centers (CHC’s) for over 50 years and their support is crucial for CHC’s to continue to serve as health care homes. Long-term, stable funding for CHC’s will ensure we can keep our doors open and close the growing access gap for medically vulnerable communities. SBHF is grateful that Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren came to see our clinic in action and has shown leadership in supporting legislation that will protect health centers from losing a major part of our funding. |

Congratulations, Arcardio Viveros, for being chosen as the artist for this year’s commemorative art at NACHC’s Conference for Agricultural Worker Health! Arcadio’s art piece, “La Virgen Campesina” or Farmworker Woman honors the farmworker women. “I wanted to present an allegorical representation of the farmworker woman-- that beyond all her suffering, there is a mystical air about her, she appears graceful, positive, jubilant, happy, thankful, with a true sense of gratitude. Although giving us so much personal sacrifice, and hard work, she is now offering the fruits of her labor, splendidly, so we can enjoy life.” |
