More wristbands distributed for free health care clinic

EXPOSITION PARK, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Organizers have already handed out thousands of wristbands for a free mobile health clinic happening this weekend, and more were made available Wednesday.

Crowds began to line up early in the morning at the L.A. Memorial Sports Arena to receive wristbands, which were distributed at 8 a.m.

The wristbands are needed to participate in the free four-day health care clinic, which runs from Thursday through Sept. 14, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Patients will be able to specify which of the days they want to attend.

Services include:

- Dental: Cleanings, fillings, extractions and other procedures.

- Vision: Eye and vision exams, prescriptions and eyeglasses.

- Medical: Exams and screenings, immunizations, women's health, acupuncture, chiropractors and other services.

This is the third consecutive year the L.A. nonprofit organization Care Harbor has put on the event. The nonprofit also provides follow-up care for those who need further medical attention beyond the event.
