It\u2019s a big step toward helping residents take control of their health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, the COACH program provided 2,843 free health screenings and participated in 233 community events. In 2024, just over 1,000 screenings were provided and the team participated in 99 events.<\/p>\n<p>The COACH team screens for the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blood Pressure<\/li>\n<li>Blood Sugar<\/li>\n<li>HbA1C<\/li>\n<li>Cholesterol<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cAll of the things we screen for can lead to serious health problems if left unchecked,\u201d said Brittany Pickren, manager of the COACH Program. \u201cScreenings give people the opportunity to take control of their health and avoid preventable trips to the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once an individual receives a screening, they can meet with an OCMC eligibility interviewer to see if they qualify for medical services at the Orange County Medical Clinic. If they do not meet the criteria, the staff can refer them to a healthcare provider within the Primary Care Access Network, which aims to provide affordable healthcare to the community.<\/p>\n<p>If
