The mission of the Venice Family Clinic is to
improve the health of people and communities
through accessible, quality care.
Last year, the Venice Family Clinic had a positive
impact on the health and well-being of 19,470 men,
women and children. No one person made this
happen. Rather, it was the individual efforts of 1,933
volunteers and 230 staff members.
Each diagnosis, each prescription, each friendly
word of advice or gesture of encouragement
represents a small victory in the ongoing struggle
to provide health care for poor families and communities in Los Angeles County. And these small
victories add up to one big difference.
In this year’s annual review we present seven
stories of individuals making a difference.
01
The Venice Family Clinic works because volunteers
and staff make heroic efforts to solve the individual
problems they’re confronted with in creative ways.
Dear Friends:
One small victory at a time, that is how the Venice Family Clinic meets its mission to
improve the health of people and communities through accessible, quality care. So when
visitors often ask, “How can we replicate what you are doing around the country?” I
respond that as flattering as the question may sound, the Clinic succeeds because of a
unique combination of volunteers, staff, supporters and the generosity
of the community that surrounds us.
This year has been one of stability and milestones. We increased mental health services
and received a grant for a bi-lingual psychiatrist. We opened the Robert Levine Family
Health Center which provides services to women and teens. We celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Venice Art Walk, our fund-raising event that brings thousands of people to
the Venice community to raise money for Clinic programs. We continued to improve the
quality of the care we provide by expanding our asthma program to include case management for children and adults through an electronic registry. We also designed and
created a child development case management program that ensures children and their
families have access to the support they need to achieve healthy development.
Thanks to your generosity we are inspired to build on what we have achieved while
we rigorously examine what remains to be done. You have helped us to improve life for
many people. However, we must still remain vigilant and continue to advocate on behalf
of our most vulnerable and hard-working neighbors.
On the following pages, I invite you to get to know some of the people who make a difference and celebrate the small victories that make the Venice Family Clinic unique.
Elizabeth Benson Forer
Chief Executive Officer
Venice Family Clinic
02/03
Dr. Stephen
A. Geller
Chairman,
Department of
Pathology and
Laboratory Medicine,
Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center
“For fourteen years, we’ve supported the Venice Family Clinic
by doing lab tests at no cost. Cedars was always interested
in community outreach, so when the Clinic called asking for
help, without checking I agreed. I don’t think it’s anything
special. It’s what we should do.”
“I grew up in Brooklyn. My father was a truck mechanic. We were not a family of
talkers so when I announced I was going to be a doctor, there wasn’t great enthusiasm. I wanted to be a contributor, to be useful to society. I volunteered to work in a
hospital when I was 15. Today when I walk into a hospital, I still feel the challenge.
It’s a place where you never know enough. And, there’s a reasonable chance you’re
going to help someone.”

Wendy Muro
Child and Family
Development
Specialist,
Children First
Program
“I grew up with a single mom in a troubled household. My
mom was always struggling, working to make ends meet. In
spite of how hard my mother worked, she gave me unconditional support. She taught me the importance of an education
and, because of that, I had a sense of the future. She taught
me that things can change and life can be better.”
“I visit 12 families in their homes. So much of what I do is about communication.
How to talk with a teacher, how to demystify social roles of women, how to talk
to their children, how to play with them. If I can get one mom or one dad to come
home from a hard day’s work and read to their child, I’ve done my job, and maybe
that child will read to their children and then I’ve made a difference.”
06/07
Dr. Mary Ellen
Friedman
Pediatric Allergist
Volunteer Doctor
“Juan has had asthma since he was a toddler but we have it under
control. After his test shows his lungs are clear, I ask him if he
can do what he wants to do. When he says yes — that’s it, that’s
what I’m here for. Sometimes we can’t do everything, like ridding
an asthmatic’s house from dust by replacing carpet. When you’re
poor you can’t do things like that. But hearing a child say that
his asthma doesn’t hold him back, that’s happiness.””
“I was the kind of kid who did whatever I wanted to do but my brother was handicapped so I knew early on that for some people life was very difficult. I wanted to
do something when I became an adult that contributed to the good. So becoming
an allergist for me is about helping kids to be like other kids, not held back by their
illnesses or having to go to the emergency room when they have an asthma attack.
The Clinic’s treatment is state of the art according to national guidelines.”
08/09
Mona Davis
Database
Manager
“I grew up in the Mar Vista projects the middle of nine children
raised by a single mother. She’d buy bulk foods and put them in
brand-name boxes so we wouldn’t feel different. I never realized
I was poor. Her struggle was not my struggle until I wanted to be
a lawyer. She couldn’t afford to send my sister to nursing school
and me to law school. She used to say the world owes you nothing, make your own path.”
“I carry on my mother’s activist work now in the Oakwood community. Black people
tend to go to the doctor at the end of an illness so I’m bringing the Clinic and people
together so they can have a voice and be aware of our services, be part of the family
we call the Venice Family Clinic.”
10/11
Woods Davy
Artist,
Venice Art Walk
“I’ve been a part of the Venice Art Walk, raising funds for the
Clinic, since 1986, when I moved here from Downtown L.A. I’ve
become friends with many residents of the Oakwood community, including quite a few who have been fortunate enough to
take advantage of the health care opportunities at the Clinic.
When I open my studio to the Venice Art Walk, I’m proud to join
with the Clinic to create a better life for the people of Venice.”
“Much of my life has been involved with the integration of opposing forces. I was
aware from an early age in Washington, D.C. of how poor people were treated.
I was keenly aware that it’s important to know the world you live in, change what
you can, and work with what you can’t. In my work, there is a collaboration with
nature that parallels this process.”
12/13
Dr. Terri
Brehove
Lead Physician
Homeless Health
Care
“I made up my mind in medical school to work with the
underserved. Knowing that what I do matters makes me feel
fulfilled. But I didn’t come on board to work with homeless
people. I was scared. This is not a job for the squeamish. I’m
not tough. But I do have the ability to connect with patients
and make them feel listened to.”
“Once a week I see homeless patients at the Bible Tabernacle Church in Venice, where
Alex and her mother have temporary shelter. She is on the bus at dawn to go downtown to junior high school. She does her homework and uses the computer at the
local library and hopes one day to go to college. Thanks to kids like Alex, I went from
fear to awe. What these people have gone through. And they’re still standing!”
14/15
Lisa Llanos
Volunteer,
age 17,
Reach Out and
Read
“I volunteer twice a week for the Reach Out and Read Program
and read to kids while they wait to see their doctor. This is
a place where they are safe. Because of that, their parents
can give them a sense of security even if they have no money.
Then having good health becomes an expectation in their
lives – something they can pass to the next generation.”
“The Clinic has been a part of my family for three generations. My mom says that
I was two when she and my grandmother took me to the Venice Art Walk. My
parents educated me about giving back so I feel grateful about being involved
in a really good cause. It’s such a great feeling of accomplishment. Sometimes
my friends want to hang out after school but I tell them I have to go to the Clinic.
They’re cool with it.”

Four-Year Strategic Plan
Second Year Progress Report
Goal One
Grow primary health care services by 26% from 71,932 medical
visits to 91,057 medical visits.
Goal Two
Continue to measure health outcomes and quality of care by
expanding disease management activities in treatment of diabetes,
asthma, and cardiovascular disease.
Goal Three
Continue training programs with an emphasis on continuity
experience. Continue to grow specialty training clinics.
Goal Four
Expand mental health program by 45% by increasing mental
health visits from 4,400 to 6,400.
Goal Five
Expand health education activities by 5% to at least 1,500 oneon-one visits. Continue the Health Empowerment program by
training staff.
We did not meet our projected growth goal of 2% this year due to ongoing renovations
of our facilities. Medical visits remained flat increasing slightly from 74,156 to 74,919.
However, total patient visits grew by 3.5% from 95,682 to 99,034. The total number of
people receiving services increased by 3.8% from 18,751 to 19,470.
We met this goal this year by expanding our diabetes management program to our Pico
and Mar Vista Gardens clinics. We now have 1,424 diabetics enrolled in the electronic registry. We also improved care for adults and children with asthma enrolling 114 patients in
the electronic registry and revising and implementing standardized protocols.
We created continuity in 50% of the medical resident training rotations at the Venice
Family Clinic. The Clinic is a training site for 10 medical residency training programs.
Specialty care visits decreased by 1% from 4,365 in 2002–03 to 4,311 in 2003–04.
Since 2001–02, mental health visits have increased by 33%. Mental health visits increased
by 14% this year from 6,715 in 2002–03 to 7,649 in 2003–04. The Clinic is a training site
for five social work and psychiatric training programs.
Health education activities continued as follows: 1,021 one-on-one health education visits
were provided; 68 prenatal classes were provided to 541 pregnant women; and 28 Weight
Busters classes were proved to 95 people. Our community health educators provided health
education to 1,857 people through community outreach and to 2,661 patients in our waiting
rooms. A total of 9,533 books were distributed to patients’ ages 0–18 as part of our pediatric literacy program, “Reach Out and Read”. A workshop about techniques to help patients
understand written/oral instructions was presented to 80 staff members.
18/19
Four-Year Strategic Plan
Second Year Progress Report
(continued)
Goal Six
Complete insurance applications for free or low cost health
insurance for at least 4,000 clients.
Goal Seven
Provide child development services on a clinic-wide basis.
Goal Eight
Ensure that appropriate facilities and space are available for all
programs and support services.
Goal Nine
Raise funds through the Development Program equal to 35% of
the total expense budget and increase total clinic reserves to
40% of the operating budget.
Goal Ten
Expand the volunteer program as per the volunteer
expansion plan.
The health insurance enrollment program completed applications for 1,011 individuals
compared to 790 individuals in 2002–03. The Newborn Enrollment pilot project was fully
rolled out in February 2004 with the goal of ensuring continuity of health coverage to all
newborn patients. With the launch of the Healthy Kids program in 2003, we assisted 138
eligible children to enroll into this new health insurance program.
The Mental Health and Child Development Services Committee and a staff Child
Development Committee developed a program plan to integrate pediatric and child
development services. Funds are being sought for this new program and a pediatric-child
development staff team has begun implementing specific parts of the plan that can be
done with existing staff and without additional funds.
We completed the renovation of the Venice Health Center and named it the Robert Levine
Family Health Center in recognition of donor Chuck Lorre’s father. The Robert Levine
Family Health Center provides prenatal care, family planning, women’s health care, and
teen health care services. It has a spacious waiting room with a health education area
and airy skylights, six exam rooms, three counseling rooms, and ample room for lab,
medical records, and other support needs. Renovation of the Pico facility will be completed
by June 2005.
The Clinic’s Development Program raised $4,462,916 toward 2003–04 operating expenses
(33% of the total expense budget). The Development Program was highly successful this
year raising an additional $1,059,515 for 2004–05 operating expenses, permanent endowment, and capital renovations. Total reserves increased to $7,383,498 which represents
54.6% of the Clinic’s operating budget. The reserves are categorized as follows: Unrestricted
reserves of $3,297,025; temporarily restricted reserves of $1,430,993; and permanently
restricted reserves of $2,655,480.
Volunteer participation increased from 2,118 volunteers in FY 02–03 to 2,198 volunteers
in FY 03–04. The volunteer program continues to play a crucial role in the ever-increasing
demand for services.
20/21
Programs
Mental
Health
Our mental health program provides short-term counseling and
psychiatric services as well as psychosocial support related to
the social stress of poverty, homelessness, unemployment and
domestic violence. Through child enrichment, parenting services
and a “warm line” offering advice about early child development,
we help prevent child abuse by supporting and educating parents
to better manage discipline problems in a healthy way.
Homeless
Health Care
Medical care and case management for homeless people is a
major part of our services. We have expanded our homeless
outreach to two local cold weather shelters during the winter.
We serve 3,404 homeless patients with needs ranging from
schizophrenia, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis to
chronic diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, lung disease and
hypertension.
Child
Development
Case
Management
The mission of our pediatric child development program is to
ensure that all children have access to the support they need to
achieve healthy development. By using the most up to date and
sensitive developmental screening tests early and often, we will
best identify the needs of families and develop treatment and
action plans that consider their unique set of circumstances.
Asthma
Our asthma program provides comprehensive medical, educational and support services designed to enhance self-care and
improve control, while reducing the costly and vicious cycle of
emergency room visits. We expanded the program by implementing case management to children and adults through an electronic registry. The Clinic manages the care of 1,106 asthmatics – 710
adults and 396 children – in 3,064 medical visits per year.
Health
Empowerment
Initiative
The health empowerment initiative strengthens the Clinic’s capacity to provide patient-centered health education through the
involvement of patients, clinic staff and the community. We seek to
increase patient knowledge of basic health education by improving
patient and provider communication skills and patients’ ability to
navigate and utilize Clinic services appropriately.
Diabetes
With the assistance of a multi-disciplinary team, patients learn
the causes and consequences of diabetes, the methods of how
to monitor blood sugar levels, and the importance of good
nutrition and physical exercise. The use of clinical data, entered
into an electronic registry and monitored regularly, is essential
to the program’s goal of preventing unnecessary hospitalizations, disabilities and deaths.
Adult
Primary
Care
The Clinic provided comprehensive primary health care services
to 12,399 adults. Primary health care includes diagnosis, treatment, follow-up care, and laboratory tests and is the essential
mission of the Clinic for adults who do not have access to
health care.
Women’s
Health
Women’s health services offers obstetrics and gynecological
visits, including breast and cervical cancer screenings, contraceptive services and counseling. The cornerstone of the program
is prenatal care with a full package of services including medical care, health education, mental health and support services.
Deliveries take place at UCLA Medical Center.
Teen
Teen health care is provided at two school-based clinics and the
Robert Levine Family Health Center. Services include sensitive
areas such as family planning, pregnancy and mental health
services. Teens also receive routine physicals, vision and hearing
tests and immunizations.
Pharmacy
Pharmaceutical services dispensed 96,990 prescriptions to our
uninsured patients. Our dispensaries provide $3.2 million in
prescription drugs obtained at no cost from the pharmaceutical
industries’ patient assistance programs. Our program manages
15 patient assistance programs.
22/23
Programs
(continued)
Mar Vista
Mar Vista Gardens Clinic brings primary health care within
walking distance of residents of the Mar Vista Gardens Housing
Development where more than a quarter of the residents earn
less than $10,000 per year. We provided a full spectrum of primary care services to 694 uninsured men, women and children.
Public Health
Insurance
Our public health insurance program increases access to health
care for low-income families by helping individuals enroll and
retain low-cost and no-cost health insurance. The cornerstone
of the program is educating patients to understand why they
should have insurance and how to use it.
Health
Education
Promotion &
Community
Outreach
Our program enhances our patients’ health care through
education about nutrition, disease management, reproductive
counseling, prenatal care, child safety, pediatric literacy, teen
health, dental health and substance abuse education.
Our Patient Advisory Council ensures patient involvement in
Clinic operations and programs.
HIV
Our HIV Program provides medical services and treatment for
HIV-infected patients as well as anonymous HIV testing, counseling and outreach to the community. A majority of our HIV
patients are the neediest in our patient population. HIV educators provided 580 pre-and post-test counseling sessions.
Vision Care
Our vision care program at our Glorya Kaufman Eye Clinic provides screening, diagnosis, treatment, case coordination and
prescription glasses. Screening services are provided by a telemedicine program affiliated with the Jules Stein Eye Institute
at UCLA. Our program is highly valued, as availability of vision
services for the poor is particularly scarce.
Domestic
Violence
Our Safe Families Domestic Violence Intervention Program
serves 212 women a year, providing individual and group counseling, advocacy and emergency medical care. On-call crisis
intervention is available. We extended our program to children
who live with domestic abuse.
Children First
Children First is a child development program whose focus is
to improve the quality of life for young children by strengthening their families while helping to lift families out of poverty
through education and job training information. Through home
visits, our staff works to create strong parent-child relationships.
Cardiology
Our cardiology program provides both primary and specialty
care for patients with active heart disease, including cardiac
diagnostic services from cardiologists and in-kind donors. The
Larry King Cardiac Foundation provides patients with surgeries
at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. We seek to control and prevent
further heart disease through ongoing care.
Complementary &
Integrative
Care
Our complementary and integrative care program teaches
people to control and manage their own health through
nutrition, fitness and weight management programs.
Acupuncture helps patients suffering from chronic pain or
stress-related disorders. The program is affiliated with Yo San
University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Emperor’s
College of Traditional Oriental Medicine.
Pediatrics
Pediatric care provided 5,631 children with a full range of medical, mental health, developmental and family support services.
Our well-child care offers immunizations, preventative care, lead
screenings, and developmental assessments. We also treat children with chronic conditions such as asthma.

Mission and Philosophy
Mission: To improve the health of people and communities through accessible, quality care.
Philosophy: The Venice Family Clinic is guided by specific principles that are the foundation of its day-to-day
decision-making and future planning. These include:
1.
Venice Family Clinic’s highest priority is to provide primary health care1 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.
2. Our service model reflects our commitment to improving the health of individuals and communities.
We continuously strive to deliver the highest quality health care.
3. 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.
4. The Venice Family Clinic values its dedicated staff. We endeavor to maintain a culture of collaboration,
service, mutual respect and appreciation for all contributions.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. The Clinic demonstrates leadership through its strategic advocacy efforts on behalf of the uninsured.
8. The Venice Family Clinic embraces research that contributes to its mission and benefits the individuals
or communities that we serve.
9. The 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.”
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.”
