She is helping to break the stigma surrounding mental health treatment in South Bay communities by talking about how it's improved her own life. Monday's event was held at Northgate Gonzalez Market in Chula Vista, and included representatives from the county’s Health & Human Services Agency. Their aim was to bring awareness of behavioral health resources and support services for women.
“I was told that I was in remission, that I'm cancer free,” Viruete said. “The journey that I am happy to call history is something that started with San Ysidro Women’s Health Clinic.”A group of community health leaders gather inside of Northgate Gonzalez Market in Chula Vista, May 23, 2022.
