Community Relations

Mission Viejo will pay homage to healthcare workers during the Symphony in the Cities and Prelude in the Park event from 4 to 8:30 pm Saturday, August 14 on the Village Green at Oso Viejo Community Park.

Nurses, doctors and medical staff had an extraordinarily hard year dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. While many folks began working from home, healthcare workers across the country continued to work selflessly to help others. Healthcare personnel exposed themselves daily to the virus while staying committed to serving the community and saving lives.

Based on public input garnered during the Oso Creek Golf Course and Public Space Virtual Workshop in March, a draft plan was created and a second community workshop will take place on July 27.

Since the public involvement was so robust during the first virtual workshop, the July meeting will also be held from 6-7:30 pm via Zoom.
