Our Mission:
Dear Friends,
To provide free, quality health care to people in need.
Forty years ago, two doctors—Phillip Rossman, MD, and Mayer B. Davidson, MD—had a great idea. They would
organize a group of volunteers to do what the larger health care system on the Westside of Los Angeles County
wouldn’t: provide free, quality health care to people who needed it but couldn’t afford it.
The greatness of the idea resided not as much in its originality—other free clinics had begun popping up around
the country a few years before—as in the ownership they took of it.
After all, Drs. Rossman and Davidson didn’t have to create Venice Family Clinic. They bore no particular responsibility
for the thousands of poor and uninsured people in Venice at the time. And it would have been easy for them to
identify reasons not to do it—the enormity of the need, the lack of funding, the time involved; perhaps, even,
that someone else should, or eventually would, take care of the problem.
But they knew it couldn’t wait because, as physicians and as humanitarians, they understood what happens to
people who go without the care they need, how a single injury or illness or neglected condition can change the
trajectory of one’s life. They also understood that need is not defined exclusively, or even all that frequently, by
emergency, and that the true test of a health care system is its ability to identify and treat patients’ needs before
they become emergencies.
This attitude—epitomized by the phrase “Can’t Wait”—has remained at the heart of Venice Family Clinic’s
work ever since. And it is the most salient explanation of how and why Venice Family Clinic became what it is
today—the largest free clinic in the country, with nearly 2,100 volunteers and 225 staff members, serving more
than 24,400 patients through nine sites across the Westside of Los Angeles County and beyond.

With this in mind, following is a small sampling of the many health needs that low-income and uninsured
patients have on any given day, as well as a few milestones from Venice Family Clinic’s first 40 years to illustrate
how, if we are to one day enjoy a more stable, equitable, and effective health care system, the time to start
working on improvements is now. It always will be.

In 2010, Venice Family Clinic and hundreds of safety-net providers like it were joined in their embrace of this
attitude by the Congress and the President of the United States, who together passed the landmark Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act. It was a turning point in the health reform movement, certainly, but by no
means the end of the struggle, for the law will take years to implement and it will face battles on numerous legal
and legislative fronts in the meantime.

The two were at opposite ends of their careers—Dr. Davidson just
out of the army and Dr. Rossman with decades of experience in
private practice—but in an identical place philosophically.
It couldn’t wait in 1970.
“He was a kindhearted man, a gentleman, and extremely
focused,” Dr. Davidson says of the late Dr. Rossman. “He really
kept after things. If he got subverted one way, he would try
another. He was a very dedicated person.”
On a seemingly ordinary Monday in Venice, California, in October 1970, as most
businesses went dark for the evening, a small dental office on Lincoln Boulevard flickered
back to life. Two physicians stepped inside and surveyed the situation.
“Medical records—we need a spot that’s out of the way,” one remarked.
As they left the building that first evening—October 12, to be
precise—they paused to shake hands, neither knowing how
long their fledgling clinic would, or could, last.
“Where will we put medications?” the other asked. “Maybe we can find someone to build
us a cabinet.”
“It was such a bootstrap operation that I don’t think we thought
about five years, ten years down the line,” Dr. Davidson says.
“We just wanted to keep it going as long as we could.”
“Have you ever done a pelvic exam in a dental chair?”
“No, but I think we can make it work.”
Amid the questions and answers, the doctors busily unpacked their bags in preparation
for whoever might walk through the door. Word had gone out that a new free clinic was
opening in the neighborhood, which was one of the poorest on the Westside of Los
Angeles County, and neither doctor knew what to expect.
Venice Family Clinic’s Co-Founder, Mayer B.
Davidson, MD (left), and Founder, the late Phillip
Rossman, MD. When they created Venice Family
Clinic, in 1970, there was only one physician in all
of Venice who treated Medi-Cal patients, and he
did so just one afternoon a week.
So they formalized it with a name, Venice Family Clinic, giving
an immediate indication of the organization’s scope and ethos.
It was open five evenings a week.
“There wasn’t a big fanfare. About a dozen patients showed up,” says Mayer B. Davidson,
MD, one of the two there that day. “We learned as we went.”
In 1993, Frederick R. Weisman donated the property at 622 Rose Avenue,
Venice, just east of Venice Family Clinic’s flagship facility, and funded the
creation of the Clinic’s mental health program. Frederick passed away the
following year, but the Frederick R. Weisman Art & Philanthropic Foundation
continues to support the Clinic in a multitude of ways, thanks to Frederick’s
widow, Billie Milam Weisman, also pictured.
The conditions conjure images of a small-scale humanitarian relief mission and, in many
ways, that’s what it was. For years, the neighborhood’s low-income residents had bristled
at not having an affordable health care facility nearby. They pointed to the fact that there
was only one physician in all of Venice who accepted Medi-Cal (California’s Medicaid
program), and he would only see those patients one afternoon a week.
Within a couple years, Venice Family Clinic was seeing
about 500 patients per month, from homeless people to
hippies to low-income laborers. Twenty to thirty physicians
volunteered their time. Residents of the area helped staff
the front desk. Local hospitals donated lab, x-ray, and
emergency services. And the location was provided free
of charge by UCLA’s School of Dentistry.
In 1969, a group of Venice residents went so far as to protest at the opening ceremony
of a county clinic in Santa Monica. There, an internist named Phillip Rossman, MD, saw
their pickets, invited them inside to share their concerns, and quickly promised to do what
he could to help.
Slowly, it became less of a day-to-day proposition. Several
small fundraising events were held. One of the volunteers
secured a research grant from the state. A small staff was
hired. More volunteers got involved. And so on.
Around the same time, Dr. Davidson, an endocrinologist, read an article about a
teen clinic set up by volunteer physicians in Ohio and mentioned to a colleague his
interest in doing something similar in Los Angeles. The colleague had heard what
Dr. Rossman was trying to do in Venice and suggested they collaborate. In June
1970, they met for the first time.
Having recently lost its largest grant, Venice Family
Clinic was on the verge of closure when Irma
Colen joined as a volunteer, in 1978. Irma would
go on to create an entire fundraising program—
including the Venice Art Walk and Silver Circle—
and, by the time of her passing, in 2006, raise an
estimated $30 million for Venice Family Clinic.
The first Venice Art Walk was held in 1979. By the late 1980s, with the help of
volunteers like Sheila Goldberg and artists like Peter Alexander (pictured in 1990),
the event was attracting more than 5,000 attendees and raising more than
$500,000 annually for Venice Family Clinic.
In 1978, shortly after a new volunteer, Irma Colen, had come on
board, the potential longevity of Venice Family Clinic came into
full view. Under Irma’s masterful guidance, fundraising took off,
and by 1982, emboldened in part by the financial success of a
new event called the Venice Art Walk, the Clinic’s leadership

we need to continue doing it. For most low-income people on the
Westside, Venice Family Clinic is their only means of getting the care
they need, when they need it, on an ongoing and affordable basis.”
Which is why, over the course of 2010, Venice Family Clinic
commenced several bold, new initiatives, including the construction
of a new primary care clinic, the Irma Colen Health Center, in Mar
Vista; the opening of a new Early Head Start office, in Inglewood;
the development of a new dental clinic, in Santa Monica; and the
implementation of an electronic health record system.
These changes come just in time for the new health reform law, the
success of which will rely heavily on providers like Venice Family
Clinic to care for the millions of low-income Americans who will
soon gain coverage. Indeed, if the law were fully implemented today,
the health care system would not have adequate capacity to meet
demand from the newly insured.
Venice Family Clinic now operates nine sites in Venice, Santa
Monica, Mar Vista, Inglewood, and Culver City, serving more
than 400 patients per day and over 24,400 annually. In addition
to primary care and more than a dozen kinds of specialty care,
the Clinic provides dental care, vision care, mental health
services, integrative medicine, health education, early childhood
development services, even public health insurance enrollment.
But despite all that has changed at Venice Family Clinic over the
last 40 years, the ethos has remained nearly identical, as
evidenced by the staggering level of volunteer involvement. In
2010 alone, nearly 2,100 people donated their time. More than
500 were physicians, from residents to fellows to private
specialists. Another 500 showed up on a single weekend in May
to help produce the Venice Art Walk & Auctions. Even patients
volunteered their time, with some serving on the Patient
Advisory Council or the Board of Directors.
In March 2010, thanks to a $1 million gift from Lou Colen, Venice Family
Clinic opened the 3,400-square-foot Irma Colen Health Center, in Mar Vista,
tripling its capacity in the neediest neighborhood on the Westside of Los
Angeles County. The Clinic’s Medical Director, Karen Lamp, MD, officially
welcomed the community on July 6.
In 1994, four years after Founder Phillip Rossman, MD, passed away,
Co-Founder Mayer B. Davidson accepted the President’s Volunteer Action
Award from President Clinton on behalf of Venice Family Clinic. The
Clinic’s volunteer ranks would soon swell past 2,000 annually.
“People like me can’t do this kind of thing by themselves,”
Dr. Davidson says. “It requires a tremendous amount of
collaboration. People’s commitment to this is really remarkable.”
began thinking about purchasing a permanent home. In 1983,
this new home, at 604 Rose Avenue, just a few blocks from the
original site, was dedicated.
Dr. Rossman, who is formally recognized as Venice Family
Clinic’s Founder, grew ill and passed away in 1990, although he
very well may have had an inkling of what the future held for
the organization, including expanding east on Rose Avenue,
taking over two county clinics—one, ironically, being the site in
Santa Monica where Venice residents had protested in 1969—
and becoming the largest free clinic in the country, all by the
mid-1990s. Looking back on everything that was set in motion
back in 1970, Dr. Davidson, who carries the title of Co-Founder,
is almost incredulous.
“No one anticipated that we would be doing what we’re doing
today,” he says. “It feels wonderful, in a way. But it’s sad that

Dr. Davidson personifies that commitment. He still eagerly
volunteers on the first Wednesday of every month, running
an endocrinology clinic at the Milken Family Foundation
Medical Building, in Venice.
“It will sound silly, but it’s still true,” he says. “What I get
out of it is that it’s the right thing to do and I feel good
doing it. That hasn’t changed.”
In 2004, thanks to a gift from longtime
supporter Chuck Lorre, renovations to
the former L.A. County clinic in Venice
are completed. The site is renamed the
Robert Levine Family Health Center, in
honor of Lorre’s late father.
In 2006, with seed funding provided by The Simms/Mann Family Foundation,
Venice Family Clinic launched the Simms/Mann Health and Wellness Center—
the nation’s first health, wellness, and integrative medicine program offered at a
free clinic—on the site of a former L.A. County clinic, in Santa Monica. Pictured

Dorena’s baby is
due in December.
Visiting Venice Family Clinic brings Dorena Villanueva,
27, full circle in her quest to find the health care she
needs. She had been a patient of the Clinic as a child,
so when she found out she was pregnant with her first
baby, in early 2010, she knew just where to turn for help.
Since then, Dorena has enjoyed the attention of a
team of clinicians, coordinators, and health educators,
providing everything she needs to deliver safely—from
an initial risk assessment and regular screenings for
anemia, diabetes, and genetic abnormalities to intensive
health education and even multivitamins—and all she
wants to know about having a baby.
Not that she wants to know absolutely everything.
At a recent visit with volunteer Erica Oberman, MD, a
UCLA OB/GYN resident, Dorena declined to learn the
baby’s sex, preferring to wait until her delivery day.
“I like Isaac for a boy,” she says. “If it’s a girl, we’ll call
her Melrose.”
Shirley Cooper, 60, knows all too well the dangers of
being homeless, and she has the scars to prove it.
Several years ago, she had to have the big toe on her
right foot amputated as a result of an infection.
Shirley’s recovery
depends on bed rest.
So when she recently visited the emergency room at
Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center & Orthopaedic
Hospital for a deep cut on the big toe of her left foot,
she was thrilled when her doctor discharged her
not to the street but the respite care program at
Samoshel, a shelter operated by homeless service
agency OPCC, in Santa Monica.
As part of the program—which is a partnership
between Venice Family Clinic, OPCC, and two local
hospitals, aimed at preventing unnecessary hospital
readmissions—Shirley enjoys her own bed and help
from her OPCC case manager in finding permanent
housing, plus easy access to medical care provided
five days a week by a Venice Family Clinic medical
team.
“This has been a place for me to heal,” Shirley says,
referring not just to her conditions but also to her
outlook on life. “I’ve been in a dark place, but I can
see a little light now.”

Approximately ten percent of Venice Family Clinic’s 24,400
patients are diabetic, and helping them manage their
disease requires a combination of prescription medications,
health education, and regular screenings for complications.
It also requires the help of volunteers, such as the team
with the UCLA Mobile Eye Clinic, which visits Venice
Family Clinic’s Milken Family Foundation Medical Building,
in Venice, on the first Wednesday of every month.
“If something is going on in the patient’s eyes, it’s
probably going on elsewhere in their body,” explains
ophthalmologist Lawrence Hopp, MD, who has been
with the UCLA Mobile Eye Clinic since 1993 and has
seen thousands of Clinic patients. “If they don’t keep it
under control, they can go blind.”
It’s been a year since
Robert’s last eye exam.
Robert Repaich, 63, was one of a dozen patients Dr.
Hopp examined on a recent Wednesday. Robert has
been a patient of the Clinic for three years and has been
diabetic for the last ten.
“You’re doing fine,” Dr. Hopp says. “Let us know if
you’re having any blurred vision or other changes.
Otherwise, we’ll see you back here in one year.”
Since losing his employer-sponsored health insurance
two years ago, Mercer Lawrence, 40, has often been
tempted to put off getting the care he needs. He even
tried for a couple months recently to live with a
persistent pain in his jaw, until his abscessed tooth
became too bad to ignore.
Mercer puts his pain
at 8 out of 10.

“Eventually, I had a big bump on my cheek, something
totally foreign, and the pain got so bad that I couldn’t
sleep at night,” Mercer says, after a recent visit with
Venice Family Clinic’s staff dentist, Nicole ThompsonMarvel, DDS. “But I felt better right after having that
tooth extracted.”
Still, there are thousands of people on the Westside like
Mercer—in fact, some have not seen a dentist in
decades—and dental care is now widely considered the
most urgent unmet health need among the low-income
uninsured. So in 2010, Venice Family Clinic also began
construction of a new 1,800-square-foot dental clinic,
with room for a second staff dentist and 1,500 patients
annually, double the current level.

Specialty care is among the most difficult services to access
for the low-income and uninsured. Often, the only affordable
option is a County hospital, where wait times can be six
months for some conditions and over a year for others.
Dr. Padilla needs a
second opinion.
10
But thanks to a new partnership, funded by Kaiser
Permanente, primary care doctors from Venice Family Clinic
and two other area clinics are being trained to provide basic
care for conditions that normally would have to be referred
to a County specialty physician. And when they need
advice on the spot, they have access to phone consultations
with volunteer specialists.
Miriam Padilla, MD, a staff internist and the appointed cardiology
champion at Venice Family Clinic, recently had a patient in his
forties who presented with a cough and chest pain.
“Something wasn’t right,” Dr. Padilla says. “Chest pain can
be caused by a persistent cough, but his EKG results were
consistent with a heart attack.”
Dr. Padilla called her mentor in the program, William French,
MD, a cardiologist and Director of the Cardiac Catheterization
Lab at the County’s Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. After
quickly reviewing the patient’s chart, Dr. French confirmed
Dr. Padilla’s diagnosis, fast-tracked the patient once he
arrived at the emergency room, and performed a
catheterization just minutes later.
“A simple phone consult can save a patient’s life,” Dr. Padilla
explains. “And in situations where we can rule out an
emergency or even the need for a referral, it saves precious
resources at the County hospital and opens up spots for the
neediest patients.”

Six months ago, as Valeria Castro was reaching her first
birthday, her mother, Elvia Perez, noticed something unusual.
Every day matters
at Valeria’s age.
“I was worried about her not being able to crawl or
walk,” Elvia explains, noting that her three older children
had reached those milestones sooner. “She seemed to be
taking a little longer than usual.”
Around the same time, Elvia learned that Venice Family
Clinic had opened a new early childhood development
office not far from her home, in Inglewood. Soon after
she enrolled Valeria in the program—known nationally
as Early Head Start—they were referred to the Westside
Regional Center for physical therapy.
In addition to screening children for developmental
delays, staff in the Inglewood office also make home
visits, host play groups to ensure adequate socialization,
and connect families with the Clinic’s medical services.
“The whole point is early intervention, because zero to
three is such a critical age,” explains Emory Chen, the
office’s Home-Based Education Manager, at one of the
recent play groups. “It’s great to see Valeria getting
around the way she does now. I’m happy we have her
for another year and a half.”
Patty and Martin Hernandez, both 35, have been visiting
Venice Family Clinic for medical care for the last 11 years, but
recently found themselves needing a different kind of help.
“He was unfaithful to me,” Patty explains. “I asked him to
leave the house, but he didn’t want to leave me or the
children, and he said he was willing to go to therapy.”
So for the last two months, they have been seeing Steve
Artiga, LCSW, one of the Clinic’s five staff social workers,
every Tuesday afternoon. Already, each is quick to note the
differences they see in themselves—Martin having learned to
listen to Patty more and pay attention to her needs, and
Patty having gotten her anger under control. But the change
they seem to enjoy most is in their children, Jesse, 11, and
Victoria, 8.
“They’re more relaxed now, and they’re talking to us more,”
Patty says, noting that Victoria is very sensitive to Martin’s
moods and had come to avoid him during the turmoil.
“Now, when he pulls up after work, she’s waiting for him
at the door.”

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.”

Make Venice Family Clinic
part of your legacy today.
Membership in Venice Family Clinic’s Legacy Society continues to grow as supporters of all kinds—recognizing the abiding need
for accessible, quality health care for all Angelenos—include the Clinic in their wills or other planned giving arrangements.
The thoughtful generosity of Legacy Society members ensures the sustainability of the Clinic’s essential services for tens
of thousands of low-income and uninsured individuals. Planned giving also provides numerous financial benefits to donors, such
as reduced taxable income, options for distributing estates to heirs, reduced capital gains, even income for one’s retirement.
For more information about how to include the Clinic in your will or establish a life-income gift, please contact Liza Alon,
Campaign Manager, at 310.664.7912 or lalon@mednet.ucla.edu.
If you have already named Venice Family Clinic as a beneficiary in your estate plan, please contact us so that we may
appropriately recognize your generosity.
