FOOD DISTRIBUTION RETURNS!

Axis is relaunching the food distribution for patients, in partnership with Open Heart Kitchen and MCC-East Bay. Prior to the COVID-19 health emergency, for two years we held a monthly food distribution for our patients that provided fresh fruit and vegetables along with shelf-stable nutritious foods. We ceased operations during the pandemic and instead have referred patients to the many emergency community food resources that were operating in our area. To check availability or add yourself to the waitlist, please call Open Heart Kitchen at 925-580-1616, ext. 504. For more details, click HERE.

COVERED CA: SPECIAL-ENROLLMENT PERIOD DUE TO COVID-19 NOW AVAILABLE

Because of the coronavirus (COVID-19), you can apply now for coverage if you are uninsured and eligible. You can also apply if you didn’t know about the new state penalty or new financial help available. Medi-Cal enrollment continues to be year-round.

What is special enrollment?

People who experience a qualifying life event can newly enroll in a health plan through Covered California even outside the open enrollment period. People who already have a plan through Covered California who experience a qualifying life event can change their coverage or choose a new plan.

BRAS FOR A CAUSE – MAY 7TH, 2022

After two years of postponement due to COVID-19, Tri-Valley SOCKS will hold its final “Bras for the Cause” Breast Cancer Walk the evening of Saturday, May 7.  Axis Community Health has been selected as one of the walk’s beneficiaries.  Funds help support breast health education and services for our patients, including prevention, diagnostics and case management.  The event is a Tri-Valley tradition, and features creative costumes, fun break stops, and a great time walking.  The theme for this final walk is: “It Takes a Village” united together to work towards ending breast cancer by funding a cure, to support those going through treatment, and to spread awareness through education.

AXIS SELECTED AS DARCIE KENT VINEYARDS’ VICTORIES ROSE MALBEC FUNDRAISER BENEFICIARY

In the Livermore Valley, we know it’s often a little something extra that makes a wine special.  Darcie Kent Vineyards’ Victories Rosé Malbec has that something extra because each bottle sold raises money to support breast cancer health services at Axis. To learn more about the Victories Rosé, click HERE.

This special wine, along with other “give back” wines, is available at the winery’s tasting room. To learn more, visit the Darcie Kent Vineyards website.
