The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department is excited to present a series of “Back to School Health Fair” events hosted at three of our Health Care Centers throughout the county during National Health Center Week.

The “Back to School Health Fair” events will provide free information on how to stay healthy, conduct free health screenings (i.e., blood pressure and sports physicals), and offer free or low-cost COVID and Mpox immunizations. Open to all Santa Barbara County community members, including families and individuals with no insurance. Staff will be on-site to link families to medical insurance and other resources that they may be eligible for, which they can then follow up with a provider in their community.

The Back to School Health Fairs will be at the following times and locations:
