Delay of Game: IEHP, Quakes announce date change to next Grand Slam Health Jam

Inland Empire Health Plan and Rancho Cucamonga Quakes’ second Grand Slam Health Jam has been moved from Sunday, Aug. 11, to Sunday, Sept. 8.

The date change allows event organizers to bring on additional partners and expand the health plan’s reach in communities where there is an important need for health and social services.

 “Our commitment remains the same: Meet the community where they call ‘home’ so they do not miss out on vital services and needs available to them year-round,” said Laura Acosta, IEHP’s director of community partnerships and engagements.

Services and activities at the Grand Slam Health Jam include:

• Dental screenings, fluoride treatments and vaccinations.
• Free interactive games suitable for all ages.
• A chance to see The Quakes’ last regular season game against The Visalia Rawhides with complimentary tickets after visiting at least two event booths.

The second Grand Slam Health Jam runs from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at LoanMart Field, the home of The Quakes, at 8408 Rochester Ave., Rancho Cucamonga. There is no cost to attend.
