When the Univision Contigo Health Fair opens its doors on Saturday, Sept. 26, at Rancho El Chema Event Center on San Antonio's South Side, more than 50 organizations will be on hand to provide free health screenings, resources, and community support to an expected 2,500 attendees. Among them will be one entity that stands apart: George Salinas Injury Lawyers, the only legal practice participating in the event. The firm's presence signals a broader shift in how community health fairs serve underserved populations, where access to legal guidance can be as critical as medical care.
The fair, organized by Univision Contigo, is designed for families who face the greatest barriers to care, including low-income and Spanish-speaking households. By placing a law firm alongside medical providers, nonprofits, and neighborhood organizations, the event ensures that attendees can address legal concerns in the same trusted space where they seek health services. That integration matters because injuries, insurance disputes, and workplace accidents often compound the financial and emotional strain on families already navigating limited resources. Having a trusted legal resource on-site removes a significant obstacle: the need to travel to an unfamiliar office or navigate a system that may feel inaccessible.
For George Salinas Injury Lawyers, founded 20 years ago and rooted in South Texas, the decision to participate reflects a long-standing commitment that extends beyond the courtroom. "At George Salinas Injury Lawyers, we believe serving our community extends far beyond the courtroom," said George Salinas, founder and CEO. "The Univision Contigo Health Fair gives us an opportunity to connect families with valuable health and community resources, and we are honored to stand alongside organizations dedicated to improving the well-being of our neighbors across San Antonio."
Employee volunteers will staff the firm's booth throughout the day, greeting attendees, speaking with parents and children, and offering family-friendly activities. Giveaways are designed with practical household use in mind: 2027 wall calendars for tracking appointments, magnets that keep the firm's contact information close at home, and additional items for attending families. These small but deliberate gestures reflect an understanding that trust is built through consistent, face-to-face engagement rather than one-time advertising.
The implications of this participation reach beyond a single Saturday. For the South Side community, it means that legal guidance is no longer siloed from health and social services. For other law firms, it sets an example of how professional service providers can meet clients where they are. And for George Salinas Injury Lawyers, it reinforces a 20-year record of supporting schools, first responders, and neighborhood events across the city. "Our team is proud to volunteer at this event and support an effort that empowers families through education and access to services," Salinas added. "Strengthening our community as a trusted resource is one of the most meaningful ways to give back."
As the only law firm at the fair, the practice will stand alongside medical providers, nonprofits, and neighborhood organizations, ensuring that attendees have access to trusted legal guidance in the same place they come for health services. For families who may need experienced representation following an injury, the firm remains available beyond the event.
