Dr. Laura Zavala, UCI Family Medicine Senior Resident.
The Community Health Initiative of Orange County (CHIOC) honored UCI Health as their Healthcare Hero Honoree of the year, in recognition of their efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic including outreach, testing, follow-up care and contact tracing.
CHIOC estimated that there were more than 60,000 people in OC who were eligible, but not enrolled in insurance coverage last year. This number is probably now much higher given Covid-19, the economic effects, and enactment of the public charge rule.
Dr. Laura Zavala, UCI Family Medicine Senior Resident, attended several CHIOC community outreach events to encourage community members to get enrolled in health insurance coverage and to allay fears about the public charge rule. You can read more about CHIOC here: http://www.chioc.org/
