“Providing families with access to resources, enjoyable activities, and educational opportunities is the aim of this day; we encourage the community to embrace healthy lifestyles” said the Chief Executive Officer of the Mexican American Opportunity Foundation, Dr. Ciriaco “Cid” Pinedo.

Dave Pacitti, president, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. and a member of the Siemens Foundation Board of Directors, said they were
honored to provide continued support for participants in this local health fair.

“We’re committed to advancing health equity by promoting primary healthcare, diagnostic screening, workforce training for the healthcare sector, and capital loan support for community clinics, and thrilled to support ¡Vive tu vida! Get Up! Get Moving!® in the city of Los Angeles” added David Etzwiler, CEO of the Siemens Foundation.
