2007: Everyone Needs a Medical Home

Dear
Our
Friends:
Mission
A few years ago, the CEO of a local private hospital, who was also a member of Venice Family Clinic’s
Board of Directors, was asked what he would do if the Clinic were to ever close its doors.
To provide free, quality health care to people in need.
Without hesitating, he replied, “I’d shut down my emergency room.”
Although the question was purely hypothetical, the answer illustrates a startling fact: Venice Family Clinic is
more than just a safety net for low-income and uninsured people; it is a safety net for the health care system
itself on the Westside of Los Angeles.
Today, that system—indeed, the entire national health care system—is collapsing.
In the midst of this emergency, it is heartening to see health care reform being discussed at every level
of government, in every form of media, and among members of every economic class. There is hope.

But being on the front lines of this crisis, Venice Family Clinic simply cannot wait for the perfect health care
reform model to be agreed upon and implemented. Too much is at stake and absolutely nothing is guaranteed.

That’s why the Clinic is always looking for ways to expand services, reach more people in need, and stretch
resources even further. In 2007, for example, the Clinic hired its own dental team, added a “street medicine”
component to its homeless health care program, and procured an additional $2.5 million in in-kind donations.
Nearly 22,000 patients visited the Clinic almost 117,000 times—an average of 400 appointments per day.

It would all be for naught, however, if Venice Family Clinic’s achievement were measured only in volume,
or if it came at the expense of the human touch that makes the Clinic not just a medical facility
but a medical home.
I consider this to be one of Venice Family Clinic’s biggest contributions to the health care reform debate—
that patients want to come here. They come at first, of course, because it is free; but they come back because
they trust the Clinic’s providers, they feel safe in its buildings, they receive quality care, and they are treated
with dignity.
These are the touchstones of Venice Family Clinic’s work. They always will be.

Alma Hernandez has been
a patient of Venice Family
Clinic since 1995. She
recently moved from
Venice to downtown,
but as she prepares for
the birth of her second
child, she still makes
the one-hour drive to
the Clinic’s Robert Levine
Family Health Center
because the Clinic earned
her trust during her
first pregnancy.
“This is my doctor,” Alma
says, at a recent visit with
staff nurse practitioner
Mary Smith. “The Clinic
has been very helpful.”
Venice Family Clinic has
been a medical home for
thousands of babies in
Los Angeles County.
Expecting parents visit the
Clinic for prenatal care and
return after delivery for
well-baby care, health
education and other medical
and support services.
In fiscal year 2007 alone,
the Clinic provided more
than 5,000 prenatal and
13,000 pediatric visits.

Venice Family Clinic’s
patients are society’s most
vulnerable. They can’t
afford private health
insurance, can’t afford
medical bills, and can’t
afford to take time off
work. Sometimes, they
can’t even afford roofs
over their heads.
Homeless health care is
one of the Clinic’s core
programs, serving 3,500
adults and 140 children
through more than 16,000
visits in fiscal year 2007.
Despite whatever indignities
they may suffer in the
outside world, patients
such as Joshua Hall know
they will get the care
they need, delivered with
a smile…like that of
volunteer medical assistant
Marilyn Lerner.
In 2007, the Clinic added
a “street medicine”
component. Doctors now
visit areas where the
homeless reside, in hopes
of persuading those most
in need of medical attention
to accept a ride to Venice
Family Clinic or visit the
new OPCC Access Center
for the homeless, where
the Clinic recently began
operating two exam rooms.

Home Is
Home Is
Safe
Committed
Domestic violence is a
problem that cuts across
all ethnicities, affecting
at least 500,000 women
each year in America and
claiming the lives of more
than three per day. And
while living in a violent
household is dangerous,
attempting to leave it can
be even more so.
Venice Family Clinic pays
close attention to its
patients’ health needs—
through electronic registries,
patient surveys, and
community needs
assessments—and
constantly looks for ways
to better meet them.
In fiscal year 2007, more
than 250 battered women
visited Venice Family Clinic
—often under cover of a
doctor’s appointment—
to at least momentarily
escape the terror of an
abusive relationship.
Mimi Lind, the Clinic’s
Director of Mental Health
Services, and her staff in
the Safe Families Domestic
Violence Intervention
Program provide mental
health services, referrals for
urgent medical care,
transportation to shelters,
safety planning, and
even cell phones that
victims can use to dial 911
in an emergency.
Dental care has long been
one of those needs. For
years, Clinic physicians
referred patients to UCLA
Venice Dental Center for
preventive and restorative
work at greatly reduced
rates. Still, many patients
had trouble covering the
cost, so some would
continue to go without care.
That changed in late 2006,
when the Clinic received a
grant from UniHealth
Foundation. Now, in addition
to its partnership with
UCLA, the Clinic has
a staff dentist, Dr. Nicole
Thompson-Marvel, whose
team provides exams, x-rays,
cleanings, fillings and root
canals free of charge to
patients in need.
“They’re definitely keeping
me out of pain,” says Phillip
Wilson, a self-employed
appliance repairman.
“Without them, I would
probably lose my teeth.”

Venice Family Clinic is
a stable place in an
unstable environment,
evidenced not just by its
37 years of steady growth
but also by the tenure of
its staff and volunteers.
“Getting sick is scary,”
explains Blanca Andres,
MD, Venice Family Clinic’s
Associate Medical Director.
“It’s even scarier when
you’re not sure who you
can talk to.”
Todd Lechtick has been a
medical assistant with
Venice Family Clinic for
24 years—six as a volunteer
and the last 18 as a staff
member. He has helped
thousands of children
grow up healthy and
has received dozens of
mementos along the way.
That’s why Venice Family
Clinic operates teen clinics
at the Culver City Youth
Health Center, Santa
Monica High School, and
the Robert Levine Family
Health Center—to help
uninsured teens get
the medical care they
need to remain healthy
and stay in school. In
fiscal year 2007, the Clinic
provided more than 3,600
consultations to nearly
2,000 teen patients.
“When I first heard a
patient say, ‘You guys
saved my life,’ that had a
profound impact on me,”
Todd says. “I realized
I was part of a team effort
to improve the quality of
health care for so many
people. It’s more than
just a paycheck.”
Whether injured, ill,
stressed, depressed, or just
confused, teens know they
can confide in Dr. Andres
and the other medical staff.
“Sometimes listening is the
best medicine,” she says.

Where the
Heart Is
Millions of Americans
struggle with chronic pain,
frequently with dire
consequences, such as loss
of work, increased stress,
and depression. And of all
those affected, the poor
and uninsured have had
the fewest treatment
options—surgery is
difficult to access and
medications are often
unaffordable.
Venice Family Clinic is
changing that. Thanks to
generous funding from
The Simms/Mann Family
Foundation, Venice Family
Clinic recently launched
the Simms/Mann Health
and Wellness Center—
the nation's first health,
wellness, and integrative
medicine program offered
at a free clinic.
In addition to programs to
help patients manage stress
and maintain healthy
weights, the Clinic offers
an array of evidence-based
services to treat chronic
pain. In fiscal year 2007,
246 patients received
acupuncture, chiropractic
or osteopathy, or a
combination of these
treatments.

Seventeen years ago, at
the age of 67, pediatrician
Earl Rubell, MD, had
a discovery.
“I found my medical
home,” he says.
After retiring from his
private practice of 27 years,
he had spent eight years
sailing his boat around
the world. He then went
looking for volunteer
opportunities, and a
retired colleague suggested
Venice Family Clinic.
“Once I toured the Clinic,
I was hooked,” Dr. Rubell
says. “I found such a sense
of purpose and so enjoyed
the people that pretty soon
I was volunteering
every day.”
Dr. Rubell recently had to
scale back his hours, but
he can still be found three
days a week at the Clinic’s
Milken Family Foundation
Medical Building. When
he isn’t seeing patients,
like toddler Gael Rivera,
he is mentoring a new
generation of pediatric
residents whose rotations
take them through
Venice Family Clinic.

in the context of physical, emotional, social, cultural
and economic needs.

the Clinic to have a broad and sustained impact on
community health through the formation of dedicated,
knowledgeable health professionals.

to its mission and benefits the individuals or communities
that we serve.

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.”

Goal: Increase dental services to meet the dental needs of Venice Family Clinic patients.
Progress: In December 2006, the Clinic began its adult dental program funded by
the UniHealth Foundation; 628 dental visits were provided.
Goal: Increase health insurance enrollment program services to insure enrollment into
public health insurance programs of all eligible patients.
Progress: In fiscal year 2006–07, the Clinic enrolled 1,044 clients and reenrolled 621 clients
for a total of 1,665 enrollments in public health insurance programs.

• 5,413 specialty care visits;
• 8,215 mental health care
visits;
High-risk populations are served in ways that address their unique obstacles: the homeless
are evaluated during their medical appointments; domestic violence victims are offered support
and safety planning after they screen positive during their medical appointments; and families
are offered therapy and crisis intervention as soon as possible. The Clinic provided 8,215
mental health visits this past year. Through its domestic violence program, it provided
assistance to 250 women and their children in 583 visits. Through partnerships with agencies
like Saint Joseph's, OPCC, CLARE Foundation, and Edelman Westside Community Mental
Health Center, the Mental Health staff is able to help meet the needs of the Clinic’s patients.
Goal: Provide high quality, non-judgmental health care to homeless
Progress: The Clinic’s homeless program added a street outreach
component working with an OPCC outreach team on Thursday mornings.
Two exam rooms were constructed at OPCC’s new Access Center and
opened for service in September 2007 to allow the Clinic’s physicians
to provide health services with full health facilities available instead of
the makeshift exam room that was previously available.
• 76,774 primary health care
visits;
Goal: 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.
Goal: Explore new opportunities in applications of telemedicine technology to improve
access to and quality of care.
Progress: The Clinic is part of a collaborative effort with UCLA that is part of a state-funded
telemedicine grant.
Goal: Continue to develop and improve programs related to health,
wellness, integrative medicine and prevention.
Progress: The Clinic’s Simms/Mann health, wellness, and integrative
medicine pilot projects are on target as follows: 246 people received
acupuncture, chiropractic, osteopathic, or internal medicine or
a combination of these approaches through the Chronic Pain Clinic;
112 families attended nutrition parenting program; 124 children and their
families participated in the KP Kids weight management program;
120 clinic pediatric patients received jump ropes and 500 children at
Stoner Elementary School received jump ropes and education about
physical activity; 18,067 people interacted with community health
educators as part of waiting room education programs; 3,156 children
participated in play area activities; and 2,538 adults participated in
one-on-one health education sessions.
7
Goal: 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.
Progress: The Clinic increased public awareness around issues that affect underserved
and uninsured people by educating elected and appointed officials on the need for the
re-authorization of the federal State Children’s Health Insurance Program; Medicare Prescription
Drug Act outcomes; universal health care for all Californians; and the loss of care experienced
with the King-Drew Hospital closure. In the community, the Clinic continues to work with
People Organized for Westside Renewal (POWER) in the creation of a 25-cent bus line
for patients.

May 2007. A designated pediatric corridor was established at the Clinic’s Milken Family
Foundation Medical Building on Rose Avenue. Specific work in pediatrics has resulted in
a decrease in wait times for appointments from 19 days to an average of 3.4 days. The wait
time decrease is a direct result of implementation of the advanced access model which has
addressed types of appointments, call center flow, pediatric patient flow, assignment of the
pediatric panel of patients to specific physicians, and ratios of support staff to provider staff.
Touchpoints child development training has been provided to designated staff, and a monthly
Touchpoints group meets to help create an approach to families that involves more listening
and clearer messages.
a functioning Information Technology (IT) response system is in place for requests for
assistance; and all staff emails have been migrated to UCLA mednet systems. Through a grant
from the Max Factor Family Foundation, medical providers and management staff have
Blackberries, allowing for email and cell phone capability at all times, which has enhanced
their productivity.
Goal: Increase access to Venice Family Clinic programs and services by improving
operational efficiencies.

in depreciation expense; $416,050 in gain on investments; ($269,832) net expense on in-kind
contribution; $120,585 in donations received towards permanently restricted endowment funds;
and ($893,544) in net released temporarily restricted donations. All infrastructure funds were
allocated from Clinic reserve funds by the Board of Directors as part of the Clinic’s budgeting
process to pay for infrastructure projects in information technology, human resources, and
facilities. Venice Family Clinic’s Board of Directors has been working to resolve a structural
deficit that is a result of reduced and flat governmental funding.
