2018 Annual Gala
More than 250 people attended LifeLong Medical Care’s sold-out Gala Feb. 24 at the Claremont Club & Spa in Berkeley.
The annual fundraiser featured a special “fund-a-need” event, which benefitted LifeLong’s Dental Program this year. A video presentation highlighted the dental program and LifeLong’s commitment to ensuring that dental health is part of overall physical health.
