Strong communities help make access to life-saving cancer care possible. CenCal Health was honored to sponsor the Annual Day of Hope hosted by Marian Regional Medical Center Foundation. Last weekend in Santa Maria, community members, volunteers, healthcare providers, and local organizations came together for a car show to support individuals and families navigating a cancer diagnosis and treatment.

The momentum continued today as hundreds of volunteers gathered throughout the Central Coast to sell newspapers, helping raise critical funds for Mission Hope Cancer Center and the patients who rely on its life-saving care and support services.

We're grateful to be part of a community united by compassion, connection, and a shared commitment to making a difference. 💙🚗. 💙🚗

💙 As part of National Health Center Week, CenCal Health was proud to present County of Santa Barbara Health Department with an appreciation award recognizing its longstanding commitment to building a healthier, stronger community through access to care, prevention, wellness, and essential support services.

A trusted partner for more than four decades, the department helped establish CenCal Health in 1983 and continues to serve local residents through a wide range of programs and services.

This week, CenCal Health also participated in Santa Barbara County Health's annual Back-to-School Resource Fairs in Santa Maria, Lompoc, and Santa Barbara, helping families prepare for a successful school year.

Together, these events connected families with:
