Care Access To Host Open House for Thousand Oaks Community at Health & Research Center

The Thousand Oaks community is invited to attend an Open House event on Dec. 16 from 3:00-7:00 PM

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Care Access is hosting an Open House event for the community at their Health & Research Center in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Attendees will have the opportunity to tour the facility, meet the team of clinical research professionals, and learn about Care Access’s efforts to improve access to health resources and research opportunities for all communities. The Open House takes place on December 16 from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM at 2100 Lynn Road, Suite 100, in Thousand Oaks.

Care Access opened the Thousand Oaks location in collaboration with local community leaders and healthcare providers seeking to make health resources more accessible to area residents.

Through the Future of Medicine program, Care Access makes no-cost Heart & Kidney Health Screenings available to the public at the Health & Research Center and community events across Southern California. The Heart & Kidney Health Screening includes a test for lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), a lesser-known type of cholesterol which significantly increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.

“As a cardiologist, I know firsthand the importance of detection in preventing heart disease. Offering no-cost Lp(a) testing is a game-changer for our community's cardiovascular health,” said Dr. Irving Loh, Senior Consultant and Principal Investigator at Care Access.
