The Care Harbor healthcare clinic provides free medical, dental and vision care to the uninsured, underinsured and underserved in LA County, along with follow-up care and prevention resources. The ASE Foundation’s involvement in this year’s clinic at the Los Angeles Sports Arena, was our first U.S.-based global health outreach event, and allowed us to bring expert cardiologists and cardiovascular sonographers to a population in need of quality diagnostic cardiac care.
