PCAHI Connects with the Community at Caltrans District 4’s 3rd Annual Equity & Empowerment Expo

Primary Care at Home, Inc. (PCAHI) was proud to participate in the 3rd Annual Equity & Empowerment Expo, hosted by Caltrans District 4 in Oakland, California. The free public event brought together community organizations, advocates, service providers, and local residents for a day focused on equity, empowerment, and access to resources.

Representing PCAHI at the event were Jesse Brooks, Community Liaison, and Kathryn Hawley, one of PCAHI’s newest Nurse Case Managers, who spent the day connecting with attendees, sharing information about PCAHI’s programs and services, and building new community relationships.

Sharing Resources and Building Connections

Visitors stopped by our table to learn about:

• HIV and STI testing services

• PrEP education and prevention resources

• Medical case management services

• Community-based healthcare and support programs

The event created an important opportunity to engage directly with community members in an approachable and welcoming environment.

Community Engagement Through Outreach

Our table saw strong engagement throughout the day, with attendees especially excited about PCAHI’s outreach materials and swag giveaways.

We distributed:

• PCAHI brochures

• T-shirts

• Caps

• Other promotional materials

The giveaways helped spark conversations and created opportunities to introduce new individuals and organizations to PCAHI’s mission and services.
