Healthy Aging

Ask the Health Educator

Do you have specific health questions? Is there something that you have always wondered about? Here is the place for you to get those answers. You can reach the health educator, Frank Hernandez, at Frank.Hernandez@occr.ocgov.com or over the phone at (800) 510-2020. Remember, the only foolish question is one that is not asked!

Discover how you can make a difference in the health of your community.
