Dr. Ruiz Hosts COVID-19 Testing Event
August 14, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how the health of us all is intertwined. The fact is, we won't get this pandemic under control until every community in America has access to care. That means we must expand testing and health care services—especially for our essential workers who are risking their lives every day to keep America going.
COVID-19: How We Slow the Spread
Farmworkers have essential jobs that leave them and their families vulnerable to COVID-19. That's why I teamed up with the Coachella Valley Volunteers in Medicine to bring COVID-19 tests to our community's most vulnerable.

I'll keep working to expand access to COVID-19 testing and care so that we can beat this pandemic together.
Sincerely,
