2 Letter from El Proyecto s President/CEO Strengthening our 45-year commitment to the underserved in our community. OUR MISSION: El Proyecto del Barrio, Inc. provides health and human services in communities with underserved populations. PRESIDENT/CEO: Corinne Sánchez, Esq. CHAIRPERSON: Virginia Ambrosini, M.D. Medical Director, Retired Kaiser Permanente OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS: VICE-CHAIRPERSON: Robert Winn President/CEO The Winn Consulting Group SECRETARY: Mercedes Moreno United Food Commercial Worker, Retired TREASURER: Virginia G. Rafelson Executive Diretor, Retired Basic Adult Spanish Education Maria J. Avila Systems Director, Managed Care Avanti Hospitals, LLC Ivette Garcia Property Manager Lakewood Properties Rachel Hernandez AVP & Branch Operations Manager Pacific Western Bank Angelina Martinez Volunteer, Mary Immaculate Church For Children with Special Needs Pastor Luis Suarez Iglesia Cristiana Tiempo de Cambio Helen Madrid-Worthen Retired, The Gas Company Kenneth Worthen Retired, The Gas Company For nearly half a century, El Proyecto del Barrio, Inc. has worked tirelessly to provide access to health and human services to underserved populations in the communities we serve. Today is no exception, as our nation faces changes and challenges to the Affordable Care Act that has brought unprecedented access to populations who previous had little or no healthcare. At the same time, the employment, child development and behavioral health programs we provide to the community are also facing future funding uncertainties. Against this backdrop, El Proyecto del Barrio, Inc. has taken a leadership role in providing high-quality, award-winning health and human services in the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys. We host more than 150,000 health care visits a year in our clinics, help hundreds of youth and adult job seekers find new positions, give children a great start in life with our child development centers and provide behavioral health services that significantly improve the lives of those we serve. More than 40 members of our leadership team recently marched to the Federal Building to support the access to health care services that have been made available by the Affordable Care Act. Last year we hosted a community forum with ABC7 to address local issues, which is pictured above. We often testify in Sacramento on behalf of the patients we serve. And we have earned leadership roles in many organizations that fight for access to quality care for those who don t have the means to fight for themselves. We are in the process of opening a new Child Development Center in East L.A., and we will soon open a new dental clinic in Arleta. Growth and quality while providing everincreasing access to services have been the hallmarks of El Proyecto del Barrio, from its humble beginnings as a street corner substance abuse prevention organization to our current status as one of the premier nonprofit health and human service agencies in Southern California. And yet, there is much more to do. We continue to be focused on doing our best to provide life-changing services to underserved populations we serve. With the help of our talented staff and the support of our elected officials, we always shall do our best to bring hope to those who need it most. Sincerely, Corinne Sánchez President/CEO elproyecto.us page 1
