Santa Barbara's homeless and veterans are the focus of an upcoming H1N1 clinic at the Santa Barbara Veteran's Hall, (112 W. Cabrillo Blvd.), this Sunday, March 7, 2010 from 7:30 am to 11:30 am. The clinic will take place during a regular Sunday meal for Santa Barbara's homeless provided by the Organic Soup Kitchen.

This event highlights growing partnerships among public and private agencies within the medical and healthcare community to provide care to Santa Barbara's homeless and at-risk populations.
