from either Interstate 5 or Route 163 and exit at Fairmount
Avenue South (complicated exit). Just past light turn right onto
Camino del Rio South. Go about one-quarter mile and turn left
into the FHC parking lot. From Interstate 15, exit onto
Camino del Rio South at Interstate 8, turning east at light. Go
about one-half mile and turn right into FHC parking lot.
