Even as medical and insurance costs rise, free health care will be on hand at Cal Expo this weekend for anyone willing to wait in line.
The three-day medical, dental and vision clinic, hosted by volunteer corps California CareForce, will begin registering visitors at 6 a.m. Friday to offer fillings, extractions, eyeglass fittings, diabetes screenings and flu shots to adults and children for no cost. The clinic will also be held Saturday and Sunday, opening at the same time.
People can get a head start and wait in line at the blue gate as early as they like on Thursday to be there for registration and wristband distribution from 4 to 6 p.m. Those with a wristband can return for services Friday. People can also register Friday at 4 p.m. for Saturday, or Saturday and Sunday in the morning.
Participants do not need insurance cards or identification but should bring prescription medications as well as food and water for the long day. Veterans will get priority on Friday only.
