What is Health Fair?
Health Fair is an annual event hosted by the Paul Hom Asian Clinic and its sister clinics, the Vietnamese Cancer Awareness Research and Education Society (VN CARES) and Hmong Lifting Underserved Barriers (HLUB), at the Medical Education Building at UC Davis School of Medicine in Sacramento.
During Health Fair, we offer Primary Care services to help guide patients toward the care they need, while also welcoming them to explore a wide range of specialty clinics such as cardiopulmonary care, neurology screenings, ophthalmology imaging, bone density screenings, mental health support, women’s health education, diabetes resources, and much more. In 2025, we also partnered with Willow Dental Clinic to provide free dental exams!
What makes Health Fair unique is its focus on care with connection. Every patient is guided through the event by an undergraduate volunteer who speaks their native language, ensuring a culturally sensitive and welcoming experience. These volunteers work alongside professional students and healthcare providers who bring expertise, mentorship, and hands-on care.
This entirely free event is a collaborative effort led by undergraduate students, professional students, volunteers, doctors, and community members, all united in their mission to serve Sacramento’s underserved populations. Health Fair not only delivers essential medical services but also celebrates the region’s rich cultural diversity, offering a welcoming space where patients feel valued and supported. In 2026, almost 60 patients attended, enjoying free healthcare, a complimentary lunch, live entertainment, raffles, and tote bags filled with wellness resources.
We’ll be announcing our Health Fair 2027 services soon!
In 2026, we were able to see 59 patients for FREE in one day!
We hope to build upon past years and continue to provide high-quality healthcare!
