A MessAge froM

Ceo Jeffrey BuJer And BoArd President LisA gritznerThe recent U.s. supreme Court ruling to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) represents a significant step forward in providing quality health care for our patients and our community.

The decision to uphold ACA means that The saban Free Clinic will be able to offer cost-effective and affordable health care to even more people in need. Ever vigilant in our Clinic’s advocacy efforts for policies and practices that benefit our patients, we will continue to mobilize our constituents to ensure a smooth path to full implementation of health care reform in 2014. We encourage our readers to sign up for our ongoing Advocacy Alerts to learn more about impacting legislation and local voter registration and election information. (More information on how to sign-up is on page 9.)

The future may be promising for many in 2014, but for the majority of those whom we serve today the need for free and affordable health care still remains. At-risk individuals, such as undocumented immigrants, the homeless, and the recently uninsured are the most likely populations to fall through the cracks of ACA, by either being ineligible for coverage, or unable to afford the newly issued exchange insurance plans, despite government subsidies.

Your support can help us make an easier transition into the new frontier of American health care; allowing us to continue to operate as a high-quality medical home for those who depend on us. Thank you again for your continued partnership.

sincerely,

Jeffrey Bujer Lisa Gritzner CEo, The saban Free Clinic Board President, The saban Free Clinic

deveLoPMent dePArtMent uPdAteHealthy living and well-being advocate Allyn Cioban joined The saban Free Clinic in March 2012 as its new Director of Development. in her current role, she oversees fundraising, donor cultivation and relationship management, and supervises the Development Department staff. Previously, Allyn served as Director of Major Gifts for the Cancer support Community-Benjamin Center (formerly known as The Wellness Community-West Los Angeles). Her professional experience before moving into the nonprofit sector includes

more than fifteen years of television commercial and movie trailer production.

Allyn says that her first few months at the Clinic have been incredibly rewarding. “Each day i come to work and see the filled waiting rooms, i feel great about the vital services we provide to so many people who would otherwise go without health care. To learn though that each patient visit costs the Clinic approximately $175, in which only $75 is being reimbursed (via government programs plus patient donations and fees) clearly shows the gap in our funding and the need for continued support from individual donors, organizations and foundations.”

When Allyn is not at the Clinic, you will probably find her on her yoga mat or teaching a yoga class in santa Monica, where she lives with her husband of nine years. Allyn would love to connect with you. Please contact her at 323.330.1656 or [email protected].

He also oversees entertainment programming for syndication and ABC Daytime via Times square studios.

During his tenure, the hit comedy series “The office” (British version) garnered two Golden Globes.

LongtiMe voLunteer roBert Broder, to Be honored with the Lenny soMBerg AwArdRobert Broder will be the recipient of the Lenny somberg Award at the 36th Annual Dinner Gala. This award is presented annually to a volunteer who has devoted countless hours of service to the Clinic and is a strong advocate for the organization.

in 2003, Broder received the prestigious The Friends of The saban Free Clinic Leadership Award in recognition of not only his many professional achievements, but also his passion for serving the neediest members of the Los Angeles community. Broder has

demonstrated his dedication to the Clinic through almost a decade of involvement. He has been volunteering since 2004 and joined the Clinic’s Board of Directors in 2009.

Broder also serves on the Clinic’s strategic Finance Planning Committee and Audit Committee, an important committee that provides oversight of the Clinic’s operational and financial processes to ensure the continued success of the Clinic in providing affordable health care. in 2004, Broder conceived and hosted the Clinic’s 1st Annual Poker invitational. His commitment to the success of the event over the past nine years has helped the Clinic raise more than three quarters of a million dollars to fund crucial medical services. Broder’s wife, Cindy, has served on the Annual Dinner Gala Committee for more than fifteen years.

“Bob has been a tireless volunteer for the Clinic and has contributed so much through his professional expertise and passion for the Clinic’s mission,” said CEo Jeffrey Bujer. “We are incredibly lucky to have him as a Clinic advocate and are honored to present Bob with the Lenny somberg Award in recognition of his strong devotion to the Clinic.”

The Lenny somberg Award is named in memory of the Clinic’s first Executive Director who guided the Clinic during the 1970s. This award is presented to an individual who embodies Lenny’s courageous vision, leadership and passion for the Clinic’s mission, carrying on the founders conviction that “health care is a right, not a privilege.

the s. MArK tAPer foundAtion grAnt MAKing A differenCein January 2012, the s. Mark Taper Foundation generously awarded the Clinic a two-year, $100,000 grant to support adult dental services. in the first five months of the grant period, the Clinic was able to provide more than 1,700 low-income patients with dental care.

one such patient is a woman in her twenties who came to the Clinic with severe pain in multiple front teeth and facial swelling. The dentist who helped her, whose clinic hours were increased thanks to the grant, was able to complete multiple root canals and rebuild her front teeth with white fillings. When the treatments were completed, the patient cried tears of joy.

The saban Free Clinic thanks the s. Mark Taper Foundation for this generous grant that has helped thousands of adult patients who visit the Clinic seeking affordable dental care.

“you gAve Me My hAPPiness”When Eduardo walked into The saban Free Clinic, he felt deformed. suffering from partial facial paralysis, he was depressed and tired of people looking at him with pity.

“i loved the environment of the Clinic and i felt as though it was my second home,” Eduardo said of his first year of treatment in which his facial paralysis was cured. Then, while at a dinner with friends, his facial paralysis almost forgotten, he broke a tooth.

Forty-two years earlier, in Ecuador, he had seen a dentist who popped up in his small town. He remembers that the drill was not run by electricity, but rather a pedal. “she probably wasn’t even a real dentist,” notes Eduardo. That traumatic experience left him terrified of dentists. But when his pain grew

so bad that he stopped eating, he spoke to nageen Farmand, a Physician’s Assistant at the Clinic who gave him a referral to the Clinic’s Dental Department.

The Clinic’s dentists told him that he would need dentures. Throughout the following year they began the work to remake all of his teeth.

He remembers how embarrassed he felt when the local diner charged him the senior citizen rate for his coffee. “Luis Villanueva (Lead Dental Assistant) always told me not to worry; things were going to be ok.” Finally, some good news came his way — The saban Free Clinic would be covering the entire cost of the dentures.

The night before the final procedure, Eduardo couldn’t sleep. His appointment was at 10:15 a.m. but his alarm was set for 6 a.m. He even arrived an hour early. They sized him for his dentures and let him pick his new teeth from various styles. now he has a smile that could light up an entire city block.

“The work that is done is very good but it’s not just the quality of the work that makes a difference, it’s that the staff sees the value of a human being,” Eduardo reported. “To the dentists and staff who helped me through this process, this smile is due to you — you gave me my happiness.”
