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.

Primary health care visits grew 18% from 64,008 in FYE 2001 to 75,542 in FYE 2006. In FYE 2005 we 

provided 77,690 primary health care visits but experienced a 2.7% decrease in FYE 2006.We provided 

a total of 363,939 primary health care visits from 2002–2006. 

GOAL: Continue to measure health outcomes and quality of care by expanding disease management 

activities in treatment of diabetes, asthma, and cardiovascular disease. 

We currently provide care to 1,900 diabetic patients through our diabetes disease management program. 

The number of diabetic patients grows by about 100 patients per year. Our diabetic patients’ 

control exceeds the national average.We created an asthma disease management program and have 

enrolled over 1,100 children and adults.We have begun to conduct depression screening with our 

prenatal and pain management clinic patients. 

GOAL: Increase and build our specialty care network and continue training programs, creating 

continuity in 50% of resident rotations. 

Specialty care visits grew by 33.6%, from 3,285 specialty visits at FYE 2001 to 4,389 at FYE 2006.We 

added new specialty care clinics in arthritis, ear nose and throat, pulmonary, and human trafficking. 

We developed a telemedicine program for retinal screening with physicians at Jules Stein Eye 

Institute at UCLA. As part of our Simms/Mann health, wellness and integrative medicine program, we 

developed an integrative medicine clinic focused on patients with chronic pain and utilizing internal 

medicine physicians, with a doctor in osteopathic medicine, acupuncturists, chiropractors, and 

social workers, collaborating to provide care.We met our goal for resident rotations. 

GOAL: Expand mental health program by 45% by increasing mental health visits from 4,400 to 6,400. 

Mental health visits grew by 80% from 4,423 to 7,921 in FYE 2001 to FYE 2006.We added Spanish

services. Lead funding was provided by the Atlas Family Foundation and the Broad Reach Foundation. 

The new services were piloted during the 2005–06 fiscal year and 200 children were assessed. Based 

on learning from the pilot program, a revamped model is being put in place which will allow more 

children to be assessed for developmental delays.

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.”
