AltaMed’s 2nd Annual 5K 'Run for Your Life!' event will host walkers and runners of all ages and skill levels to raise funds for AltaMed’s programs. AltaMed is proud to deliver access to the highest quality, comprehensive health and human services to medically underserved communities in Southern California.

Last year's family-friendly event included a children’s race and health fair complete with medical and dental screenings for the community. Following the 5K walk/run, AltaMed Board of Trustee Member Jack Cline hosted  Jack's Quinoa Challenge to Fight Childhood Obesity. This year's event boasts to be even better.

By participating in the 2nd Annual 'Run for Your Life!' event your fundraising efforts help AltaMed's doctors raise money to support services such as:

  • Immunizations and preventative treatment for children in Los Angeles, 1 in 3 of whom are at risk  of developing type-2 diabetes
  • Health care for entire families, including routine screenings, physical exams and chronic disease management
  • Health care for women, including gynecology, family planning, health screenings, mammograms and a comprehensive prenatal care program
  • Health and social services for seniors

Support from you plays a crucial role in fulfilling our commitment to quality care for people in need. Thank you for your participation!
