Inside a van outside the Wallis House at Aviva Family and Children’s Services, a Hollywood shelter for women and kids, 34-year-old Christian Thomas is getting her blood sugar tested.
“I just like to keep one up on my health,” said Thomas, a diabetic.
Jeffrey Figueroa, a Medical Assistant at Saban Community Clinic for the last 19 years, follows up with questions about her diet and medicine she is taking.
