Empowering Healthy Futures EMPOWERING HEALTHY FUTURES FYE 2014 + FYE 2015 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends, CEO UPDATE Every day I’m asked, “How has the Affordable Care Act changed things for Venice Family Clinic?” On the surface, the numbers are simple. When I came to Venice Family Clinic in 1995, just 10% of our patients were covered LIZ FORER by insurance. By 2012, this number had increased to 35%. Now, with the unprecedented reforms of the Affordable Care Act, more than 72% of our patients have public or private coverage – a first in Venice Family Clinic’s forty-six year history. Underneath all of this change, the devil is truly in the details. With full implementation of not only the Affordable Care Act, but also electronic medical records, population health management and our work to become a Patient-Centered Medical Home, the time has come for us to examine every detail of how our business of “providing quality health care” operates. Our team enrolled more than 4,000 people for the first time in their lives this year. While there remains a great deal of work and advocacy to be done, this remarkable progress is truly a cause for celebration! In this combined Fiscal Year 2014/2015 Annual Report, you’ll see how targeted investments in quality improvement, renewed focus on data and metrics, and the use of technology are improving access and outcomes for the families and individuals who rely on Venice Family Clinic for care. We are so proud of our Children First Early Head Start parent who started behavioral health counseling and increased 6 out of 7 family outcome scores that are linked to children having success in school. We are proud of the 23 people in our Provider Diabetes Group Education Class who all decreased their HbA1c percentage in just 12 weeks. And we are proud of our Common Ground participants who have made significant strides in overcoming stigma through our HIV support group, and have grown in their ability to care for themselves and their loved ones. As we look forward, I am encouraged and excited. For Venice Family Clinic, trusted medical home to tens of thousands of patients, the heart of our Clinic has always been you: our staff, donors, volunteers, community partners and, of course, our patients. Thank you for standing by us through all of this change, and for walking with us as our work continues. With gratitude, Elizabeth Benson Forer, MSW/MPH Chief Executive Officer “We started as just a few volunteers, juggling our jobs and lives to spend a few hours each evening to meet a huge health care need in Venice. I never imagined that our work would expand to serve thousands of low- income people across the Westside. As Venice Family Clinic grows, I’m proud that our value of providing compassionate, high-quality medical care steers us forward.” – Mayer Davidson, MD, Venice Family Clinic Co-Founder, Board of Directors, Volunteer Physician 2 OUR PATIENTS BY LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS, WHO DID WE SERVE? IT’S EASY TO SEE THAT VENICE OUR PATIENT POPULATION INCREASED FROM FAMILY CLINIC IS NEEDED NOW 20,233 IN FYE 2014 TO 22,715 IN FYE 2015 MORE THAN EVER. CLINIC VISITS WENT UP FROM 92,502 IN FYE 2014 TO 103,235 IN FYE 2015, AND INCLUDED: 75% 72% 41% live in poverty are members of speak Spanish as a minority group their primary language 82,804 7,653 5,110 Primary and Behavioral Health Dental Care Visits Specialty Care Visits Care Visits 29% 14% 12% are children are homeless are over the age of 60 1,719 7,668 “Over the years, Venice Family Clinic has cared for my entire family: Vision Care Visits Health Education my grandmother and my parents, my sister and her daughters, and Visits my husband and children. Now that we have Medi-Cal, we’ll still go to the clinic because we trust them and receive such caring service.” – Patricia, VFC Patient 3 OUR COMMUNITY These greatly abbreviated findings illustrate just a fraction of the issues facing Westside families, adults, children, teens, In FYE 2014, Venice Family Clinic and seniors. Thankfully, Venice Family Clinic is here to provide conducted a Community Needs quality care. Assessment, and made some startling discoveries: Despite rising housing costs, there are just as many low-income families living in poverty on the Westside. Almost 14% of the area’s children HIV/AIDS is more prevalent (ages 0-17) in our area than California as live below the poverty line. a whole. In fact, the homeless population in Venice has increased by 12%. Heart disease became the #1 cause Mar Vista, Ocean Park, of premature death, moving up Santa Monica, and Venice are facing from #3 in 2010. a shortage of behavioral health professionals; accessing this limited care is even more difficult for low-income patients. 4 THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT IMPLEMENTATION IS IN FULL SWING, HOME SWEETVFC PATIENTS AND WE HAVE REASON TO CELEBRATE! WHO HAS COVERAGE? 4,500+ patients are newly enrolled in public health insurance in FYE 14. 2009: 2.5/10 4,038 more patients enrolled in, or renewed, a public health insurance program in FYE 15. Many are insured for the first time in their lives. 2014: 6/10 Greater access to care better health outcomes and peace of mind *Includes Medi-Cal and Covered CA 2015: 7.2/10 “The people I enroll in health insurance have never been eligible before, so However, Venice Family Clinic’s work is not over. I walk them through everything, step-by-step, to understand their benefits. Nearly 30% of the people we serve still lack coverage, and we need to raise millions to cover It’s wonderful to see patients not have to worry about lack of insurance patient care expenses that aren’t covered by and finally be able to put their health first.” public funds or insurance reimbursements. – Pattie Lopez, Health Insurance Enrollment That’s why your support is so crucial. 5 HOME SWEET (MEDICAL) HOME Our bold vision is that by 2020, all low- income people in our community will have access and linkages to health care. As a part of this exciting goal and alongside federal health care reform, Venice Family Clinic is embracing a new care delivery model: the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME Take a look at what we’ve accomplished so far in fiscal years 2014 and 2015: COORDINATED CARE QUALITY CARE ACCESSIBLE CARE VFC is expanding access for vulnerable populations in many ways. In April 2014, Bill’s Clinic at Safe Place for Youth (SPY), named for Councilmember Bill Rosendahl, opened its doors to bring focused care directly to homeless youth every Thursday afternoon. “I’ve been to other doctors’ offices before and I’ve left feeling paranoid...At the clinic at SPY I can expect truth. I can expect correct results. And they are relayed to me in a way where I won’t freak out.” - Jamie, 20-year-old Homeless Patient Outside of the clinic walls, all VFC patients are being empowered to schedule appointments, view labs, and fill prescriptions through a new online patient portal. This key improvement makes care more accessible, especially for those who juggle multiple jobs, school, family needs, COMPREHENSIVE CARE CONSISTENT CARE and more. 6 ACCESSIBLE CARE PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME A Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) provides comprehensive, consistent, accessible and coordinated care to enhance patient access and satisfaction. In August 2014, Irma Colen Health Center was officially recognized as a patient-centered medical home – congratulations, Colen Team! COORDINATED CARE QUALITY CARE To make it easier for medical teams to coordinate treatment plans and To optimize our quality of service in the community, we sought to better educate patients, we are utilizing new technology to enhance our improve care delivery, efficiency and partnerships.

    P A U L A C O O P E R G A L L E R Y FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MARK DI SUVERO A public exhibition of Hugs (2011) 220 11th Avenue Opening October 6, 2018 NEW YORK—Paula Cooper Gallery in collaboration with the Moinian Group and Alex Brotmann Art Advisory are proud to announce the installation of Mark di Suvero’s monumental steel sculpture Hugs at 220 11th Avenue, New York. Organized on the occasion of the gallery’s fiftieth anniversary, the installation is located down the street from its new primary space at 524 W 26th Street. The presentation honors di Suvero’s long history with the gallery, having first collaborated with Cooper at Park Place Gallery (1965-67) and later at the Paula Cooper Gallery—including the second exhibition in 1968, and most recently in a one- person show in 2018. The sculpture will be on view from October 6, 2018, through winter 2019. Throughout his sixty-year career, di Suvero has created vibrant and dynamic works, which fuse vitality and improvisation with complex construction. Standing over fifty feet high, the pyramidal structure Hugs, is composed of steel I-beams whose three legs intersect in a central, curved form. Its expansive scale allows viewers to engage physically with the work, inducing a kinesthetic response as one walks under and around to perceive it from shifting vantages. Democratic accessibility and viewer participation have long been driving principles in di Suvero’s artistic practice: “When one is an artist, one wants to do art that is meaningful to a lot of people.

Material traces refer to both the moving image products and the assortment of documentation about the processes of television as industrial and creative endeavors. By identifying the development of television-specific archives and collecting areas in the 1950s to the 1970s, the dissertation contributes to television studies, specifically pointing out how television materials were conceived as cultural and historical materials “worthy” of preservation and academic study.

  • VENICE FAMILY CLINIC: Improving Capacity and Managing Patient Lead Times
    CASE STUDY, 4/2012 VENICE FAMILY CLINIC: Improving capacity and managing patient lead times PREPARED BY Professor Kumar Rajaram, UCLA Anderson School of Management Karen Conner, MD, UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine A case by the Johnson & Johnson/UCLA Health Care Executive Program and the UCLA Anderson School of Management Dr. Susan Fleishman, Medical Director at the Venice Family Clinic (VFC) returned to the clinic after her early morning meeting with CEO, Elizabeth Forer. It was a typically warm and sunny Southern California day as she approached the front door of the clinic. She walked past a line of six to eight people waiting to check in at security and then proceeded upstairs to the waiting room. Almost every seat was taken. The room was full of elderly people, homeless men and women, young mothers, babies, toddlers with runny noses, school-aged children watching TV and adult men and women dressed for work. Some clutched papers indicating they had been seen by either registration or a provider, but most were holding only their color-coded cards given to them as they passed through security. As she headed towards the patient rooms, she noticed two resident doctors holding charts and chatting about their upcoming ski trips, one attending physician talking to a medical assistant about lab work and another on the telephone impatiently waiting on hold. A quick walk by the patient rooms showed that despite the crowd in the waiting room, only about half of the rooms had patients in them. She knew that many of the patients seen by the clinic spent hours there each visit, and that most of that time was spent waiting.

I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.
