COVID-19 Health Ambassador Program
The COVID-19 Health Ambassadors attended summer meals across San Bernardino County, providing community members
with health education, COVID-19 Over-the-Counter Test Kits, and enrichment activities.
San Bernardino County recognizes that people in the community still have questions and concerns regarding COVID-19.
You can request one of our Health Ambassador Teams to provide an educational presentation to your group or request a team to table at your event.
