Irvine – November 10, 2026 -- Routine health screenings can catch high blood pressure, diabetes, certain cancers and some STIs before symptoms appear, according to Radiant Health Centers, an LGBTQ+ medical clinic in Orange County.

Screenings find conditions that give no early warning

Not every condition shows obvious signs in its early stages. Checks range from blood pressure and cholesterol to screening for certain cancers and STIs. Which tests a provider recommends, and how often, depends on age, health history and family history.

Comparing results over time reveals changes

Comparing current results with past assessments can help a provider detect shifts that would otherwise go unnoticed. Tracking blood pressure and cholesterol is one example. If new symptoms or changes raise questions, the provider can advise whether to schedule another screening or seek further evaluation.

Irvine – November 10, 2026 -- Four Southern California educators each received a $10,000 donation for their schools from Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) and its local dealers, plus tickets to the Los Angeles Chargers' Legends Homecoming Game. The $40,000 total is part of Mazda's multiyear partnership with the Chargers.

Chargers players joined the surprise school visits

Chargers players went along with Mazda to each school to present the donations in person. All four honorees were then recognized on the field at SoFi Stadium on November 8, in front of Chargers fans.

The effort falls under Be Moved, Mazda's community engagement platform for people who uplift others. Mazda says the educators do that by helping students with diverse learning needs see their strengths, introducing new interests through creative programs, and encouraging young people to take on leadership roles.

Orange County – November 07, 2026 -- Radiant Health Centers, an LGBTQ+ medical clinic in Irvine and Santa Ana, offers confidential STD testing and treatment, and the clinic says catching an infection early can head off lasting health problems.

STDs can affect people of all ages, races, genders and sexual orientations. They do not always cause obvious symptoms, so an infection can go unnoticed without testing.
