Lupe and ArrowCare, a healthy story
 Lupe with her local ArrowCare doctor.
For nearly seven years, Lupe Yarrito of Redlands lived without proper health care and insurance. There were many times during that period, she says, that she didn’t feel well.
“I felt weak and just tired all of the time,” she said. “But I ignored it because I didn’t have insurance and I just wasn’t motivated to look into my health.”
Now a member of the County of San Bernardino’s new health care program known as ArrowCare, Lupe’s health outlook has changed dramatically.
“I feel great and I have peace of mind knowing that I have insurance and a doctor who is going to take care of my needs,” said Yarrito. Lupe was enrolled into the ArrowCare program in January and after seeing her doctor, discovered that she is a pre-diabetic and has high blood pressure.
“And I didn’t even know it,” said Yarrito about those two potentially serious health conditions. “But I’m happy that they didn’t find anything more serious.”
Yarrito said her doctor motivated her to get healthy by suggesting changes to her lifestyle.
“She told me that if I wanted to live longer that I had to start working on my heath,” said Yarrito. “I listened to her because I want to live to see my grandchildren grow.”
Yarrito now has a treatment plan for her pre-diabetes and high blood pressure and walks an hour every morning.
