CNECT was proud to support Neighborhood Healthcare at their 26th Annual “Fun Under the Sun” Gala! Our Strategic Project Manager, Jaclyn Bautista, had the pleasure of connecting with Neighborhood Healthcare’s Senior Director of Operations & Program Management, Sandra (Sandy) Orzel, during the event. It was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our partnership while supporting a cause that means so much to the community. Neighborhood Healthcare’s dedication to serving the medically underserved, uninsured, and underinsured populations in San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties is truly inspiring. The funds raised from this Gala will directly impact their ability to expand essential services, including the new Lakeside Health Center, the expansion of the Escondido Dental Center, the development of a new Menifee Health Center, and the installation of PACE in Murrieta. Thank you, Neighborhood Healthcare, for your continued commitment to providing quality care and for allowing CNECT to be part of this special evening. #HealthcareHeroes #CommunitySupport #ValueCHC
