Profiles in Giving
Union Bank of California
"At Union Bank of California, we invest a portion of our earnings back into the community to benefit the health and well being of San Diego. What better way than to help make affordable healthcare available to our neighbors in need. Healthy children learn better and healthy adults have better access to decent jobs and make better parents. In short, healthy families help build healthy communities. We are proud of our long partnership with Family Health Centers of San Diego because they provide a service that is crucial to the quality of life."
– Kathy Patoff, Vice President/Foundation Officer, Union Bank of California Foundation
Union Bank of California and Family Health Centers of San Diego have been strong partners for over two decades. During this time, Union Bank has supported important capital projects like the Union Bank Dental Clinic at Logan Heights Family Health Center and key programs such as mental health visits and prescription medications for persons who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness due to the challenges they face with mental illness.
Las Patronas
"Las Patronas has been supporting Family Health Centers of San Diego for over twenty years, helping them to purchase needed medical equipment like Ultrasound Imaging Units for prenatal care and Chest X-Ray Machines to detect breast cancer. We maintain a great respect for the services they provide to the community and are proud to use our signature fundraiser, "The Jewel Ball" to help support them."

Family Health Centers of San Diego is very fortunate to be able to count Las Patronas as one of our longest and strongest supporters. Over the years they have helped us purchase important equipment for our clinics and improve the quality and scope of our services for uninsured families.
Kenny & Carol Johns
"With all that life throws at you, being able to go to a doctor when you or your kids are sick is something that you shouldn't have to worry about. That's why we support Family Health Centers of San Diego."
– Kenny & Carol Johns
Kenny and Carol Johns have been dedicated supporters of Family Health Centers of San Diego since the late 1990s. Together they served on our Advisory Board of Directors and helped to organize many KidCare Auctions, hosted events at their home to raise awareness and support for our mission, and encouraged their colleagues at work to donate to Family Health Centers of San Diego through their workplace giving programs. Again and again these two individuals give their time, talents and financial support to make sure all families have a place to go for high quality, affordable medical care.
