Helping Hand Lending a

Kern Medical was busy this summer in events that showcased its commit- ment to the people it serves – and the community’s commitment back. From participating in the Relay for Life and helping school kids get pumped for the upcoming sports season, to honoring its medical residents and helping a Girl Scout achieve an award, Kern Medical went the distance.
