Kern Family Health Care | 2026 Community Report

26 Celebrating Milestones, Strengthening Community Addressing health outcomes often requires action beyond traditional clinical settings. Through a partnership with California State University, Bakersfield and local legal and justice partners, KFHC supported a series of Pop-Up Expungement Clinics designed to help justice-involved individuals remove barriers to stability, access and reintegration. Removing Barriers Through Cross-Sector Partnership The clinics, led through CSUB’s Legal Information and Support Clinic, provided expedited post-conviction relief for community members seeking to clear eligible records. By bringing services directly into neighborhoods, participants were able to receive legal determinations on-site—often the same day—eliminating the complexity and delay that typically accompany the expungement process.
