Kaiser Permanente has been a great partner to NECC, supporting critical programs and donating much-needed equipment to clinics.
Recently, Tara O'Brien, Public Affairs Director of Kaiser South Bay, announced $5,000 in funding for Informed Teens Thrive! (ITT!), a program focused on vital issues facing teens and tweens in our Wilmington service area obesity, pregnancy, contraception, teen pregnancy and parenting, and sexually transmitted diseases. The program combines medical visits, nutritional counseling, health education and self-empowerment tools to promote healthier lifestyles and increased quality of life.
Last year the Los Angeles office provided $12,000 for A Health Child, which targets obese and at-risk children, ages 2-16 years, who are uninsured and reside in households living at or below the 200% Federal Poverty Level at our Highland Park clinic site.
In addition, Mario P. Ceballos, Community Benefit Manager for Kaiser Permanente's Los Angeles, spearhead the donation of three exams beds and an ultrasound to NECC from Kaiser's Los Angeles Medical Center.
Our patients and staff will benefit from these generous gifts and Kaiser Permanente's generosity and kindness.
