2. Dear St. Francis Family,
The St. Francis Medical Center Foundation was truly blessed in Fiscal Year 2013 in our commitment to supporting St. Francis
Medical Center. Your support of our health care ministry continues to have a profound impact on our ability to care for our
community. Thanks to your generosity, the St. Francis Medical Center Foundation raised an outstanding $7.3 million last year
to support important life-saving technology, community outreach programs, and associate emergency assistance at St. Francis
Medical Center.
I also want to commend the Foundation’s Board of Trustees for embarking on an updated action plan to ensure Foundation Trustees,
leadership and staff are strategically broadening community awareness, sharing our stories and connecting with our friends and
supporters who want to partner with St. Francis in providing for the medical and social needs of Southeast Los Angeles residents.
Additionally, we celebrated the many successes of Fiscal Year 2013 at our June Board meeting, where we had the opportunity to
thank three long-time Foundation Trustees for their dedication as we welcomed them into the Chairman’s Circle. Victor Caballero,
Will Weatherspoon, and Jeffery Rollert are tireless advocates, and we are grateful for their many years of service.
I am so very proud of my outstanding Foundation team, our wonderful volunteers, and the Board of Trustees for all of their hard work
and dedication in helping the Foundation continue to build trust, enthusiasm and engagement among our constituents. Our Mission
is to carry on the tradition of the Daughters of Charity, who have been ministering to those in need since the 1600s. In doing so, we
have expanded our circle of friends in FY13, bringing 535 new donors into the St. Francis Family!
Mary Eileen “Dub” Drees
Vice President of Development and CEO
St. Francis Medical Center Foundation
To every single one of you I would like to say “Thank you” for believing in our ministry and sustaining our work. We are blessed to
have you in the St. Francis Family and are grateful for your support.
Sincerely,
Mary Eileen “Dub” Drees

3. Dear Friends:
At St. Francis Medical Center, the Vincentian Values remain at the heart of everything we do. This past year has been no exception
as the St. Francis Medical Center Foundation has renewed its commitment to lead and be innovators in the care we provide to the
residents of Southeast Los Angeles. Through new strategic partnerships and pioneering programs and services, we continue to
advance the health and wellness of our community.
The last twelve months have been a robust representation of our donors’ and supporters’ engagement and participation, highlighted
by some tremendous outcomes. This includes the Foundation’s celebration of its 15th Annual Eric Karros and Friends Golf Classic. At
this event, we honored our long-time friend and supporter, Eric Karros, who was first introduced to the medical center back in 1997.
Through Karros’ committed collaboration he has helped St. Francis raise over $4.1 million dollars to support vital capital projects and
community health initiatives.
St. Francis has also had the opportunity to welcome new strategic partnerships, including the collaboration between our health
system’s Health Benefits Resource Centers and Covered California. Aptly named HealthFirst!, this joint effort ensures that community
members from the Bay Area to Los Angeles County receive education about the Affordable Care Act so that they can make informed
decisions about health insurance for themselves and their families.
We also continue to be blessed by the generous support of our associates and physicians through the WINGS (When In Need Giving
Saves) Program. WINGS assists members of the SFMC family in times of personal hardship, and whether it is providing bereavement
support to associates who have lost a loved one, or supplying tools, soil, and seed for our Associate Organic Garden, WINGS continues
to grow every day, offering a compassionate helping hand and renewal of spirit.
I look forward to a bright future and to our ongoing commitment to sustain and revitalize mission-focused programs and services.
I offer my thanks to you for supporting these ministries and to our associates and physicians for embodying our Vincentian Values
through their dedicated service. Together, we are empowering individuals and families with the care, education, and resources they
need to attain health and wholeness.
Gerald T. Kozai, Pharm.D.

Hundreds of Los Angeles children had smiles on their faces
this holiday season, thanks in part to the Foundation’s
annual toy drive. This past year, the St. Francis Medical
Center Foundation collected toys for kids of all ages —
2,100 in all — from associates, Board of Trustees, donors
and the community at-large. In addition, we provided
gifts for parents and gift cards to Target and Food 4 Less,
ensuring that 250 families in need could sit down to a hot,
nutritious meal on Christmas Day.

Voyager Transporter
The tiniest and most vulnerable of St. Francis Medical Center’s
patients — critically ill newborns — were the beneficiaries of
a $75,000 donation offered jointly last December by the Variety
Children’s Charity and The Will Rogers Institute. The donation
supported the purchase of a new Voyager Transporter — a hightech incubator on wheels — which allows at-risk newborns to be
moved between departments in the safest manner possible with
minimal discomfort and distress to baby – and parents, too. The
incubator is just one more example of St. Francis’ commitment
to using the latest medical technology to nurture and protect
everyone in its community — from the youngest to the eldest.
St. Francis Medical Center Foundation recognized
the contributions of Diane Castillo, a volunteer in the
Telecommunications Department since 2010. Diane is a
student at Santa Fe High School and hopes to become
a Healthcare Administrator. In honor of her work and her
commitment to serving those less fortunate than herself,
St. Francis Medical Center Foundation awarded Diane a
$500 scholarship to pursue her college studies.

A group of young ladies from Firebaugh High School visited

Center. The women presented a check to the hospital
for more than $500, money they raised amongst their
peers to promote breast cancer awareness, including the
importance of early prevention and screening.
Inventiveness to Infinity
Community Wellness
Physician Continuing Education
This year St. Francis Medical Center’s Vida Sana community fitness
program got a $40,000 “leg up” from the Aetna Foundation.
The generous donation allows St. Francis to build on its success
with a campaign that will offer free exercise classes, nutrition
education and biometric health screenings for 1,000 individuals
and families throughout South Central and Southeast Los
Angeles — a community with some of the highest obesity rates
in the county. Vida Sana (Spanish for “Healthy Life”) was founded
in 2004 as a collaborative initiative between St. Francis and a
host of local churches and community centers with the goal of
providing culturally sensitive and appropriate wellness programs in
community settings. Vida Sana aims to motivate the community to
establish healthier lifestyles by tackling issues such as heart health;
diabetes; obesity awareness, prevention and education; and by
offering classes on diet and nutrition classes; stress reduction; and
physical fitness. Aetna’s donation will be used specifically to expand
Vida Sana’s role in the community, encouraging healthy lifestyles,
supporting good health and preventing disease. Among other
things, the funds will allow Vida Sana to enroll more participants
and train volunteers to become certified fitness instructors.
Illustrating its dedication to patients and physicians alike, St.
Francis Medical Center partnered with the American College
of Physician Executives (ACPE) to hold an intensive, three-day
leadership conference for St. Francis physicians in leadership
positions. Offering a pair of courses created specifically to
meet the needs of physician leadership, the first portion of the
conference focused on “Managing Physician Performance”
and examined individual and group dynamics in the work
environment. The second component of the conference
focused on “Quality in an Era of Change” and how, as health
administrators, our physicians could continue to improve the
patient experience by defining, measuring and managing
health outcomes. ACPE’s primary purpose is to support
physicians in acquiring the skills and credentials they need
to be effective leaders at all organizational levels and in all
sectors of the health care industry. That purpose dovetails
perfectly into St. Francis’ own passion to equip physicians
with leadership and management skills through structured
education programs.

“Obamacare,” and they have no idea how
it will affect them. Lydia Ramirez, Director

Californians from Los Angeles to the Bay
Area turn to the HBRCs for help. Some come
to their local HBRC in desperation when, for
example, a child who has been diagnosed
with diabetes needs an insurance program
that can offset the mounting costs of care;
some are experiencing food insecurity but
are intimidated by the enrollment process for
CalFresh (formerly food stamps); still others
need legal assistance related to substandard
housing – an advocate to compel recalcitrant
landlords to address the insect infestation
or mold that is causing repeated flare ups of
a child’s asthma. Some heard about HBRC
services through outreach or word-of-mouth,
and some have been referred by DCHS
The HBRCs were doing so much talking,
in fact, that applying for a formal grant to
educate the community about health care
reform seemed like the logical next step.
Accustomed to fielding questions and finding
solutions, HBRC Enrollment Specialists were
well-versed in the many facets of health care
reform and their expertise was instrumental
in Covered California’s decision to award
SFMC a grant of $750,000 to implement
HealthFirst!, an outreach and education
project developed by DCHS to educate
the community about the provisions of the
Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare as it is
informally known.
As the lead applicant and program
administrator for HealthFirst!, St. Francis
Medical Center (SFMC) is coordinating
services with four other DCHS hospitals —

Los Angeles, O’Connor Hospital (O’Connor)
in San Jose, Seton Medical Center (Seton)
in Daly City, and Saint Louise Regional
Hospital (SLRH) in Gilroy — each of which
is strategically located in areas where health
disparities are pronounced and access to
care is limited. These areas are home to
disproportionately high numbers of uninsured
residents.
The HBRCs are natural springboards for the
objectives of Covered California. The HBRCs
possess the infrastructure, established
community partnerships, and experience
to help community members understand
America’s new health mandate. “They know
that they need to have insurance,” Ramirez
says of the families she has personally
worked with, “but they don’t know what that
really means. They think this is a government
program, they won’t be able to pick their
physician, and the government will tell them
where to go for care.” Ramirez says that
when people see the list of qualified plans
available, they are surprised to see top-tier
companies that have operated in California
for years. Those big names, according to
Ramirez, help families feel more confident.
“At the end of the day,” says Ramirez, “it’s all
about peace of mind.”
HealthFirst! provides support for Covered
California exclusively through outreach and
education activities. By the end of its first
18 months, HealthFirst! is expected to reach
99,338 California residents who are now
eligible for health insurance benefits under
provisions of the Affordable Care Act. The
program prioritizes populations that are
central to the success of Covered California,
including Limited-English-Proficiency (LEP)
and English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL)
populations, mixed-immigration status
households, low- to moderate-income
families, and other culturally diverse
populations. The geographic concentration
of the proposed contacts is approximately
49,500 in Los Angeles County, 36,500 in
Santa Clara County and 13,338 in San Mateo
County. We anticipate that 54,636 contacts
will be Spanish speakers, 37,748 will be
English speakers, 3,974 will be Korean
speakers, 1,490 will be Tagalog speakers and
1,490 will speak Vietnamese.
The HBRCs have long used an evidencebased promotora model to overcome
barriers to health care access via culturally
sensitive health education and information.
HealthFirst! capitalizes on this experience,
using promotoras — community health
workers recruited from, and representative
of, the surrounding communities — to
increase awareness and understanding,
decrease barriers and motivate consumers
to enroll in affordable coverage options.
These cadres of promotoras have formed
five mobile outreach teams — one for each
hospital — that will establish the HBRCs as
go-to resources for information and answers
to questions related to health care reform.
The HealthFirst! promotoras spend roughly 30
percent of their time conducting outreach in
Covered CA promotoras distributing information and
fielding general questions on Covered CA enrollment for
individuals and small business owners.

the field—engaging residents where they live,

Covered California collateral materials and
collect contact information to generate leads
for Covered California Enrollment Entities.
Outreach Teams spend the remaining 70
percent of their time focused on providing
education through one-on-one and smallgroup activities, delivering in-depth education
based on Covered California messaging and
materials. Small group activities are followed
by detailed question and answer sessions,
ensuring community residents get information
tailored to their specific situations. Building
on the extensive network of DCHS and HBRC
partners, activities include presentations at
town hall meetings, the Mexican Consulate,
Chambers of Commerce, cultural groups,
churches, synagogues, mosques, temples,
childcare agencies, WIC offices, clinics,
PTAs, unions, senior centers, food banks
and community forums. In addition, the
promotoras have established weekly meetings
at local community venues in each of the
target areas to enable residents to “drop in”
for up-to-date information and so residents
who have already been introduced to the
message can bring additional family members
to hear the presentation material and meet
the promotoras themselves. “This consistency

SFMC is home to the original HBRC launched
in 1998, where these activities converge.
Partnering with a variety of agencies —
including school districts; Los Angeles
County Supervisors; local, state and national
agencies and officials; churches; private
schools; community clinics; health carebased agencies and clinicians — the flagship
HBRC at SFMC served nearly 14,000 families
in 2012.
SFMC and its program partners propose to
reach 99,338 individuals over 18 months.
With a total budget of $750,000, it roughly
equates to a cost of $7.54 per person.
The program achieves these exceptionally
cost effective results by using the existing
network of HBRCs and program partners and
the exceptional reputation of each hospital.

Joe could not qualify to purchase an individual health plan

other golfer who played that day, went
home with an Eric Karros bobble-head
commemorating his status as the Los Angeles
Dodgers’ career home run leader. Karros
himself, the embodiment of a “good sport,”
took home both a bobble-head and a life-size
cardboard cutout of a bobble-head; a gift, he
explained, for his son.
Since its inception, the Eric Karros & Friends
Annual Golf Tournament has generated
more than $4 million for SFMC’s programs.
Typically earmarked for new equipment,
expansion projects and community outreach,
the tournament has provided $304,285 in
support for SFMC’s Pediatrics Department,
$688,264 for the Emergency Department,
$1.174 million for the Catheterization
Laboratory and $1.63 million for Community
Health Initiatives working to improve health
outcomes for the underserved.
Karros enjoyed a stellar career with the
Dodgers from 1991 to 2002. Winner of the
1995 Silver Slugger Award and the only
player in Dodger history to hit two home runs
in the same inning, Mr. Karros is an excellent
sportsman and a humanitarian who has
worked tirelessly in support of SFMC. The
relationship between Karros and SFMC began
when Karros went to Alexander Imports to
purchase a new car. Nicholas Alexander, a
dedicated Dodger fan, sold Karros a car and
the two men struck up a friendship.
A short time later, Alexander, an SFMC board
member, joined a board committee charged
with launching a golf tournament to raise
funds for the hospital. Alexander reached out
to Karros, and the ballplayer responded with a
visit to the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit, even holding one of the babies. He was
smitten and agreed to host the tournament.
Proceeds from the inaugural tournament
benefited SFMC’s Pediatrics Department.
Between Karros’ ongoing commitment and
the tireless support of the Golf Committee
Chairman Mark Aldrete, who has championed
this event since its inception, the tournament
has been an unabashed success year after
year.
Sponsored by AppleCare Medical Group, Inc.,
this year’s event included a long drive contest,
lunch, silent and live auctions, awards, a
visit from the Laker Girls and, of course, a
beautiful round of golf. Participants competed
for prizes that included a stay and play
package at Trump National Golf Course, a trip
to Puerto Vallarta and the grand prize, a trip to
Pebble Beach.
The golf tournament was followed by a
reception, dinner and a speech by Gerald
T. Kozai, SFMC’s President and CEO,
acknowledging the long-time commitment
and leadership of Mark Aldrete in making the
event a success. Mr. Aldrete also addressed
the crowd, thanking Eric Karros for his 15
years of service and telling the crowd how the
tournament has benefited the underserved
residents of Southeast Los Angeles.
Mr. Karros’ ongoing work in broadcasting —
he’s a color commentator and does pre-game
shows for Dodger games — has kept him
firmly in the public eye. Mr. Karros uses his
prestige to help those less fortunate than
himself, frequently participating in events
that raise funds and awareness of the critical
needs facing the 27 percent of Los Angeles
County residents who, when housing costs
and government benefits are taken into
account, live below the Federal Poverty Level .
Such support is invaluable to SFMC, which
provided $26 million in traditional charity
care and $66 million in total quantifiable
benefits for persons living in poverty in 2013
alone. This year’s donations went to fund
SFMC’s Community Outreach and Services
which work to improve community health and
well-being through outreach, education and
prevention.
The 16th Annual Eric Karros & Friends Golf
Classic will be held in March 2014. While a
date for the event has yet to be established,
those interested in playing in the Golf
Classic may contact Grace Mendez at

Guadalupe, suddenly passed
away this past March, his
family was devastated. The
Velasco Family had just
celebrated her 51st birthday and felt it was
a major milestone. “Doctors said she would
probably not make it past her 50th birthday,
so when she turned 51, we all rejoiced. She
looked like she was improving and we prayed
for her continued progress.” One night,
however, Guadalupe went to bed and did not
wake up the next morning. She had passed
away quietly in the night. In the midst of their
grief, the family also struggled to cope with
mounting funeral expenses.

That was when Johnny remembered a
program he had championed in 2001. As the
former Chairman of WINGS (known at that time as the Associate
Giving Campaign) Johnny had introduced the concept of an
Associate Bereavement Fund. “When I first suggested … that
Associate Emergency Funds include bereavement assistance, I
never would have imagined I would need to access it. However,
I was so appreciative that my St. Francis Family came together
to provide burial assistance and emotional support to my family
during our time of need.”

A group of St. Francis associates established the Associate
Giving Campaign in 1990 to bring the Mission of the Daughters
of Charity home by providing critical aid to hospital staff.
Renamed WINGS (When In Need Giving Saves) in 2013
WINGS has evolved into a more structured program that allows
associates to have a voice in what types of support they want
to provide, ranging from the bereavement fund that supports
associates following the death of a loved one, to various capital
and wellness projects around the St. Francis Medical Center
campus.

13. WINGS: When In Need Giving Saves
WINGS will again petition associates in early
spring to renew their support for the WINGS
program. Associates can choose to donate as
little as $5 per pay period, with some donating
$20 or more per pay period. Even the smallest
amount has a huge impact. “Every gift counts,”
says Dub Drees, CEO of the St. Francis Medical
Center Foundation, “because it all adds up!’”
• The Associate Emergency Assistance
Fund assisted 11 associates facing eviction,
foreclosure and other unexpected financial
hardships outside of their control.
This past fiscal year, the WINGS Campaign
exceeded expectations when it raised an
estimated $60,000 from over 350 associates
who were then able to choose from one of
nine funds including: Associate Capital Projects
for facility renovations to improve employee
morale; the Associate Emergency Fund to
assist associates with financial hardship; and
the Vincentian Fund to provide resources to
patients needing assistance with medical
expenses.
• The Associate Wellness Health and
Fitness Program was developed to
promote healthy lifestyle changes among
our associates by providing onsite wellness
classes, like Zumba and Eat Smart.
• The CARE Channel was installed in
January 2013 to provide meditative and
guided imagery to create a more peaceful
environment for patients and associates.
• The SFMC Associate Community
Garden was installed in 2012. Hospital
departments are able to “adopt a box” and
decide for themselves what they would like
to plant and what they would like to do with
their harvest.
According to WINGS Coordinator Michelle
Thomas, there are over $300,000 in the
WINGS Fund. Thomas encourages associates
to consider serving on the WINGS Committee
to help lead decisions on how to use those
funds to make further improvements to the
environment at the hospital. Thomas also
sees WINGS as being an important part of
engagement building. “I enjoy the sense
of camaraderie created by projects like the
organic garden,” says Thomas.

get involved with the WINGS Campaign, please

3rd Annual Prom Project
April 2014
Please plan to join the Foundation for a fun-filled event
to support women’s health initiatives at St. Francis
Medical Center. The event includes an inspirational
speaker highlighting what it means to be a woman
leader in our community, a Fashion Show, and the
popular Pink Gloves Dance to raise awareness for
breast cancer.
The Foundation is reaching out to friends, colleagues
and community members to solicit donations of
formal evening wear, business attire, makeup, shoes
and accessories for young adults in our community.
In April, the Foundation transforms the Auditorium
into a Prom Boutique where low-income high school
students can come to get free attire for prom,
graduation and/or employment interviews.
To learn how you can serve on the Fairy Godparent
Committee, please contact Grace Mendez at (310)
900-7331 or GraceMendez@dochs.org.
The Fashion Show will feature men who will walk
the catwalk to raise awareness for the issues
affecting the special women in their lives. In addition,
the show will include children’s fashions so that the
special little ones in our lives can be women’s health
champions too!
For ticket and sponsorship information, please
