Educational Workshops

Throughout the open enrollment period for Medicare, we will have educational workshops and tabling events presented by health programming facilitators from the Center for Health Care Rights that will discuss health literacy and help you learn more about Medicare options.

Covered CA Tabling Events

There will also be a series of Covered CA Outreach and Enrollment tabling events with certified Covered CA enrollment counselors from D’Access Central, Inc., USC’s Southern California Healthcare Outreach, and the Search to Involve Filipino Americans. The certified enrollment counselors will discuss and explain health coverage options as well as help individuals select the best plan to meet their medical needs and budget.
