This is a powerful documentary offering an unprecedented look inside one of the only health clinics in the U.S. that serves underserved patients, including undocumented immigrants. Stay for a panel at 7 p.m. with local healthcare professionals who will share resources available in our community and answer questions. An interpreter will also be present to ensure everyone can participate fully. This is an important opportunity to learn, connect, and talk about how we can better support healthcare access in our community.
