Project K.I.N.D. was created by the Riverside County Medical Association (RCMA), in April of 1994, to provide free health care to children, ages 5-17, with acute illnesses who do not qualify for Medi-Cal and who have no health insurance.
Project K.I.N.D. collaborates with local school districts and over 120 health care providers who donate their services to provide free health care services to low-income children attending Riverside County public schools.
The focus of the medical care is to address specific illnesses, reduce public health risks, manage pain, and assist in returning the child to school as soon as possible.
Accepting referrals starting December
2009 and scheduling Dental Clinics with volunteer providers now.

GIVE THE GIFT OF SIGHT:
Help us celebrate National Eye Health and Safety Month and
Project K.I.N.D.'s "Vision Month" this fall. Project K.I.N.D.
hopes to serve 250 children or more this Fall by holding vision clinics where children will be provided with eye exams and glasses. This
is a collaboration between Project K.I.N.D., volunteer providers, and sponsors.
For every child that is served there is a $30 fee that will cover all services
and glasses if necessary. Click here for more details...
