We provide free, quality health care to - Venice Family Clinic

VENICE FAMILY CLINIC 2006 ANNUAL REPORT
VENICE FAMILY CLINIC 2006 ANNUAL REPORT
We provide
free, quality health care
to people in need.

FOUNDED IN 1970
BY DR. PHILIP ROSSMAN AND CO-FOUNDER DR. MAYER B. DAVIDSON,
VENICE FAMILY CLINIC HAS GROWN FROM A SMALL STOREFRONT
INTO THE LARGEST FREE CLINIC IN THE NATION.
CURRENTLY 2,402 INDIVIDUALS – INCLUDING 519 PHYSICIANS –
DONATE THEIR TIME.
Last year we served
21,938 patients
in
112,818 visits.
THREE QUARTERS OF OUR PATIENTS HAVE NO HEALTH INSURANCE AND LIVE IN POVERTY.
WE PROVIDE CARE TO THE MOST VULNERABLE IN OUR COMMUNITY,
INCLUDING 5,500 CHILDREN AND 3,500 HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS.

We work hard to
meet the daily health care needs
of uninsured people in Los Angeles.
But that’s not all.
Last year, we took a close look at ourselves, the community
we serve and the state of health care in our state and nation.
And, while we have met or exceeded all of our goals since we
created our four-year strategic plan, we understand that the
health care crisis that surrounds us effects the work we do.
More people live in deep poverty. More people live
without health insurance. Public resources are shrinking.
As we continue to serve hundreds of patients each day,
we look to the future and how we might play a role in
improving the health and well being of more people.
We have outlined a new mission and vision to guide our
vital work and developed four core strategies to guide
our 255 staff members and 2,402 volunteers.

STRATEGY 1
Manage and grow resources through
enhanced development, sound
budgeting strategies and fiscal
policies that maintain financial
stability and assets.
RATIONALE
Engaging the board and staff to manage and grow resources
will assure stability and allow growth. Changes may include
development strategies and the business model.
GOALS
• Explore alternative budgeting and financial strategies.
• Increase resources to help underwrite Venice Family Clinic’s annual
operating budget.
• Raise new program funds to support targeted quality improvements
in clinical programs.
• Raise funds to support Venice Family Clinic’s capital and infrastructure
needs, including information technology.
LORETO MELO has been with the
Clinic for 24 years.
A native of the Philippines, Loreto was
originally trained in the field of medical
technology. Although she began her career
in the corporate sector, Loreto came to the
Clinic, saw its economic growth, and knew
this was the place for her.
During Loreto’s tenure, the Clinic has
always had a clean audit and a steady
increase of government grants and private
funds. Currently, nearly 60% of Clinic
revenues are donated.
“We are not willing to cut programs to save money.
The challenge is being more creative in how we
manage, raise and spend our funds.
The management team implements the programs, the Board works hard
to make sure we all meet our goals, and I keep my eyes on the books.”
—loreto melo, Chief financial Officer

NORMA ROSALES, MD, has been a
pediatrician at Venice Family Clinic for
16 years.
Norma’s roots are the same as most of her
patients. She combines her heritage with
her training to create an atmosphere for
growth where parents gain an understanding
of how to keep their children healthy.
Norma comes from a family of teachers.
Her grandmother was a curandera –
a healer. Norma is the first doctor.
“The Clinic is a leader of change –
first with our program for children with chronic health conditions
and now with our pilot program to improve early
identification of children with developmental delays.”
—Norma Rosales, MD, Director, Pediatric Services
Continuously improve all
Venice Family Clinic programs
and services.
RATIONALE
Continuously improving programs will improve the access to and
the quality of our programs. Health care is a dynamic field with
constant changes. Continued improvement and updates are required
to provide good care. Providing good care and services enhances
the work environment and staff satisfaction.
GOALS
• Create a pediatric medical home for families in an environment
that is family-friendly, interactive and creates parent/child
learning opportunities.
• Increase access to Venice Family Clinic programs and services
by improving operational efficiencies.
• Continue to develop and improve programs that concern the
management of our patients with chronic disease.
• Explore a variety of avenues for patients to be more involved
in clinic activities.
STRATEGY 2

STRATEGY 3
Invest in Infrastructure
RATIONALE
Many elements of infrastructure are critical to the successful
operation of the Venice Family Clinic. It is important that VFC
grow infrastructure hand in hand with its programs and services.
Infrastructure investment is needed to maintain and update facilities,
communication, and information technology. Some key support
areas, including the human resources department and volunteer
services, need additional resources.
GOALS
• Focus on health information technologies and telecommunications
to improve quality and efficiency of care.
• Improve the training and morale of staff by restructuring the Human
Resource Department.
• Develop and maintain an inclusive and effective system for board,
staff, and volunteer communication and decision making.
• Update existing facilities master plan to reflect program needs
and needs identified in new strategic plan.
• Explore systems of analyzing the cost/benefit of improving
Venice Family Clinic programs and services.
“Architecture is the art that people live in.
At the Clinic’s Simms/Mann Health and Wellness Center,
interior design is an integral part of a
holistic approach to medicine.”
—Russel Tyner, A.I.A, Architect, Member, Board of Directors
RUSSEL TYNER was given a pro bono
assignment by his firm: design a medical
facility at 604 Rose Avenue in Venice.
Sitting on the Clinic’s site committee at the
time was architect Frank Gehry. Russ’s plan
was approved unanimously, sealing his
two-decade relationship with the Clinic.
Four of the Clinic’s seven sites were
either designed or rebuilt by Tyner and
his partner Gary Houston – with millions
of dollars of fees donated. Working with
Mary Richert, the Clinic’s director of
general operations, he is drawing up the
plans to redesign the Rose Avenue site.

ELIZABETH WHITE has had six
acupuncture sessions at the Clinic’s
Simms/Mann Health and Wellness Center.
A patient of the Clinic for over a decade,
Elizabeth’s preference is not to use
medicine for her pain.
The Simms/Mann Center offers the
nation’s first health, wellness, and integrative
medicine program provided at
a free clinic. Programs include chronic
pain management, nutrition and exercise
counseling, diabetes care, stress management,
and obesity prevention and management
for children, youth, and adults.
“I’d be in real trouble without the Clinic.
It’s a blessing in my life and all of the doctors are angels.
They are my life savers.”
—elizabeth white, clinic patient
Use community need to determine new
programs and program expansion, locate
programs in settings that are convenient
to VFC patients, and partner with similar
and/or complementary organizations.
RATIONALE
The purpose of VFC is to help people in our community. To do so we must
determine the needs of the population and the communities we serve.
A community need driven approach to program planning that also takes
into consideration the transportation barriers that our patients face will
assure a client/patient base for new or expanded programs. Partnerships
with allied organizations that are better positioned to provide services to
our patients and clients will further increase their access to health care.
GOALS
• Provide high quality, nonjudgmental health care to our homeless clients
in a specialized and dedicated environment.
• Continue to develop and improve programs related to health, wellness,
integrative medicine and prevention.
• Provide comprehensive mental health services to all patients who meet the
clinical criteria in the areas of depression, domestic violence, children and
families, and homelessness.
• Explore and expand relationships with community hospitals and
County Department of Health facilities.
• Increase dental services to meet the dental needs of VFC patients.
• Increase health insurance enrollment program services to insure enrollment
into public health insurance programs of all eligible VFC patients.
• Explore new opportunities in applications of telemedicine technology
to improve access to and quality of care.
• Increase the public’s awareness and understanding of policy issues which
affect the health of low-income and uninsured individuals and their access
to health care.
STRATEGY 4

And we don’t
stop there.
We are at the table and participate in national solutions
for the health crisis through our advocacy program.
We represent California on the The Wyden-Hatch Citizen’s Health Care Working
Group – a fourteen-member national group that has traveled the country, engaging
the public in discussions about health care that works for all Americans.
We travel to Washington, DC, briefing elected officials and their staffs about
the importance of providing access to health care for everyone.
Elected officials and decision makers visit the Clinic to learn directly from the
people we serve. We hold press conferences and town hall meetings to share
the needs and issues facing our patients and our providers.
Through the Board’s External Relations & Public Policy Committee we increase
awareness of our patients’ and our clinic’s concerns through memberships on
the local level with the Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County;
on the state level with the California Primary Care Association; and at the
national level with the National Association of Free Clinics.

ELIZABETH BENSON FORER, MSW, MPH
Chief Executive Officer, Venice Family Clinic
Dear friends,
The world of health care outside our doors is unsustainable. Costs are rising and
quality of care is declining. In 2006, more people live without health insurance and
many with insurance have limited access to care. Inside the doors of our seven sites,
we are dedicated to fulfilling our mission to provide free, quality health care to people
in need. We are also dedicated to preventing illness and educating patients to
take care of themselves.
We cannot treat disease alone. Wellness, prevention and disease management
are also essential for a healthy community. Visit the Simms/Mann Health and
Wellness Center on a Thursday evening and you will see parents, after working hard
all day, enthusiastically learning with their children about nutrition. And while the
kids go outside with a staff member to exercise, parents stay to learn about diabetes
and its prevention. See pregnant women in a yoga class and, at the Robert Levine
Family Health Center, visit a group of teens as they learn about measuring body fat
for a weight management program.
Staff and volunteers have created an environment that is central to the future of
the Clinic – one that helps patients help themselves. Our new strategies insure that
we will continue to spend our resources on the well being of our patients with an
emphasis on responding to community need, enhancing access and the quality of
our existing programs, while improving our financial planning and infrastructure.
As we begin the work of fulfilling our new strategic plan, we invite you to join us
in spirit by also making a healthy start with the basics: sleep 7–8 hours a night;
eat 5 servings of fresh fruit and vegetables daily; and exercise at least 30 minutes a day.
Thank you for your confidence in our ability to achieve our goals and your
investment in our vision to improve the health of the people we serve.
Be well.

Our Philosophy

decision-making and future planning. These include:

Venice Family Clinic’s highest priority is to provide primary health care to those without access to
care. Prevention, treatment, care management and health promotion are integral components of
the primary care that we provide. Venice Family Clinic strives to deliver comprehensive medical,
mental health, educational and supportive services, as well as appropriate specialty care.
Our service model reflects our commitment to improving the health of individuals and communities.
We continuously strive to deliver the highest quality health care.
We demonstrate cultural competence in all aspects of our organizational culture and service delivery.
Patients are partners in their health care relationship with providers at the Venice Family Clinic.
Providers and staff demonstrate respect for and understanding of cultural differences. We believe
that health problems and solutions are best approached by an understanding of the whole person in
the context of physical, emotional, social, cultural and economic needs.
Venice Family Clinic values its dedicated staff. We endeavor to maintain a culture of collaboration,
service, mutual respect and appreciation for all contributions.
Volunteer services are the cornerstone of the Venice Family Clinic’s organization since its inception.
Volunteers and staff work in partnership to accomplish our mission. Community involvement and
institutional collaborations secure vital resources for the Clinic.
Our enduring commitment to medical training enables the Clinic to have a broad and sustained
impact on community health through the formation of dedicated, knowledgeable health professionals.
The Clinic demonstrates leadership through its strategic advocacy efforts on behalf of
the uninsured.
Venice Family Clinic embraces research that contributes to its mission and benefits the
individuals or communities that we serve.
Venice Family Clinic promotes community development. We strive to optimize quality of life by
strengthening individuals, families and communities. We facilitate leadership training and patient
involvement in program design, delivery and evaluation.
1 The Institutes of Medicine and Primary Care describe primary care as “the provision of integrated, accessible health services by clinicians who are
accountable for addressing a large majority of personal health care needs, developing a sustained partnership with patients, and practicing in the context
of family and community.” The WHO (World Health Organization) describes health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
