Riverside Community Health Foundation strives to provide pertinent health education to the diverse community that makes up the City of Riverside. Six health education seminars are offered each year, covering Heart Health, Diabetes and other Disease Prevention and management topics. Each seminar is highly anticipated by the public—reserved seating is filled within days, and waiting lists are quite long for each event.
Attendees also have the opportunity to interact with first-rate physicians, nutritionists, and other clinical specialists over a wide array of health topics and concerns. For example, at a Bone Health Seminar, participants were able to personalize the material presented. Free bone density screening was offered to facilitate individual assessment and apply newly gathered knowledge. In the words of one participant, "Thank you for this opportunity—my insurance doesn't cover this screening and without it, I would not have known what my risks for osteoporosis really were."
