Guests will also have the opportunity to learn about Medi-Cal health coverage through a friendly outreach table, helping community members stay healthy and informed this holiday season.

🩺 What Is Medi-Cal?

Medi-Cal is California’s free or low-cost health coverage program that helps individuals and families get the care they need — from doctor visits and prescriptions to dental, vision, and mental-health services. It’s part of California’s commitment to make health care accessible to everyone, regardless of income or immigration status.

💡 Who Can Get Medi-Cal

If you live in California, you may qualify.
Medi-Cal is available for:

• Individuals and families with limited income
• Children and young adults
• Pregnant people and new parents
• Seniors (65+)
• People with disabilities
• All Californians — regardless of immigration status

🧾 What Medi-Cal Covers

Your Medi-Cal plan helps you stay healthy and protected with:

• Regular doctor visits and preventive care
• Hospital and emergency services
• Prescription medications
• Dental and vision care
• Mental-health and counseling services
• Pregnancy, postpartum, and family-planning care
• Long-term and in-home support

🕊️ Why It Matters

Having health coverage means peace of mind — knowing you and your loved ones can see a doctor, get medicine, or visit a clinic without worrying about cost.

As of 2024, Medi-Cal is open to all income-eligible adults in California, regardless of immigration status — but you must apply before December 31, 2025 to activate coverage for the new year.
