RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, Calif., July 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP)
and the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes are partnering to strike out
roadblocks to vibrant health by co-hosting two health and wellness
events during the 2024 baseball season.
The Grand Slam Health Jam is intended to open a pathway to
better health by bringing social and care services directly to the
community from 1 to 5 p.m.,
Sunday, July 21, and Aug. 11, at LoanMart Field, 8408 Rochester Ave.,
Rancho Cucamonga. Services will
include dental screenings, fluoride treatments and vaccinations,
plus access to local organizations and nonprofits like Foothill
Family Shelter, GeriSmiles Mobile Dental Hygiene Practice and the
San Bernardino County Department of Public Health.
Admission is free.
"The event allows us to bring our mission, vision and values to
life by reaching out to members in a vibrant, community-focused
setting," said Laura Acosta, IEHP's
director of community partnerships and engagement. "Our aim is to
make health care accessible and enjoyable by showing our commitment
to your well-being."
For the Quakes, it's an opportunity for a double play: teamwork
and dream work.
"This partnership is a reflection of the Quakes' and IEHP's
mutual commitment to inspiring the community for nearly 30 years,"
said Grant Riddle, executive vice
president of the Quakes. "For the team, that also includes
inspiring fans and their families across the Inland Empire to stay
healthy."
IEHP's headquarters in Rancho
Cucamonga is just minutes away from LoanMart Field, a
natural progression for what both organizations hope to be a
long-standing relationship.
In addition, both IEHP and the Quakes will provide free ballgame
tickets at each Grand Slam Health Jam to guests who visit at least
two participating vendor booths. The giveaway will only be
available during the events on July
21 and Aug. 11 and game
vouchers are valid for the game following each Health Jam.
