This month’s Orange County Health Access and Enrollment Task Force meeting brought together community partners to discuss upcoming changes to healthcare coverage and public benefits.

Thank you to Covered California and the OC Social Services Agency for sharing important updates on policy changes ahead and what they mean for the communities we serve.

As healthcare and public benefit programs continue to evolve, collaboration and information-sharing remain essential to helping Orange County residents navigate these changes and access the resources they need.

Today, we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day and honor the histories, cultures, resilience, and contributions of Indigenous communities.

At CHIOC, we recognize the importance of advancing health equity, respecting cultural identities, and addressing the barriers that Indigenous communities continue to face in accessing healthcare and life-saving resources.

We stand in solidarity with Indigenous peoples and reaffirm our commitment to building healthier, more inclusive communities for all.

Partnership makes our work possible!

Yesterday, we came together for our 11th Annual Building A Legacy Celebration, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us in celebrating 11 years of building healthier, stronger communities across Orange County.

A special thank you to our generous sponsors whose continued investment in our mission makes this work possible.

Your support helps us connect more Orange County families to health insurance, social services, and life-saving resources that support their holistic well-being.

Thank you for celebrating with us and for being part of the legacy we continue to build together!
