"I have participated in this event for years," says Melinda White, DO, Primary Care Dignity Health Medical Foundation and Board Member of Physicians Medical Group of Santa Cruz (PMG).

We will be packing the venue with free health screenings, exciting local venders, delicious snacks, and presen- tations on everything from maintaining athleticism to practicing proper sleeping habits. e Aging Young fair draws a loyal crowd of attendees, who have raved that it is a "wonderful event," and that "everyone is very helpful and knowl- edgeable." We are so proud to bring this opportunity to the community, and we work hard to maintain the high level of expert medical information and diver- sity of specialty care every single year. We believe that everyone's health is important, and that quality care lies in the crossroads between patient education and connecting patients with the wealth of local health and wellness resources available to them.
