CIM Holds Annual Health and Benefits Fair for Staff

October 20, 2026 - 03:18

The California Institution for Men in Chino recently hosted its yearly Employee Health and Benefits Fair, giving staff a chance to learn about the resources available to them and their families.

The event brought together representatives from a range of health plans, retirement programs, and employee assistance services. Staff members moved between tables, asked questions, and picked up information on topics such as preventive care, mental health support, and financial planning. Many took the opportunity to review their current coverage and compare options ahead of the next open enrollment period.

Organizers said the fair is meant to make benefits easier to understand. Rather than sorting through paperwork alone, employees could speak directly with people who administer the programs and get clear answers about eligibility, costs, and how to sign up. Several departments also set up displays on wellness practices, including nutrition, exercise, and stress management.

Supervisors encouraged attendance during scheduled breaks, and the turnout reflected steady interest throughout the day. Staff who stopped by described the event as a useful reminder that support extends beyond the paycheck. The institution plans to continue the tradition next year, with organizers already considering ways to expand the lineup of participants and add more interactive sessions.
