Day Of Action for Community Health Center Funding

The 118th Congress may not have been historically productive, but funding government agencies must remain a top priority as the year ends. Equally urgent is securing critical funding for Community Health Centers, which serve as the backbone of the U.S. healthcare system. Without congressional action, the federal support that sustains staff and operations for caring for 32.5 million patients will expire, jeopardizing essential services for millions nationwide.

That’s why health centers from across the country were in Washington, D.C. this week, participating in the National Association of Community Health Centers’ (NACHC) Annual Fly-In. These dedicated providers, staff, board members and patients are part of a nonpartisan movement that’s been in existence for nearly 60 years.  They traveled from far and wide to remind lawmakers that they care for 10 percent of U.S. population while representing just 1 percent of healthcare spending.

Today, December 4th, Saban Community Clinic’s team of health center advocates are participating in the National Day of Action by making phone calls and sending emails to share why this funding is so critical. We’re more than a health center, we are a lifeline for our community. In 2023, we provided comprehensive and affordable primary care to over 23,000 patients, 84% of whom live below the Federal Poverty Level, and 9% were unhoused. Our services extend beyond traditional health care, offering behavioral health, oral health, pharmacy services, and enhanced care management, all in one accessible location.

Like health centers across the country, at Saban Community Clinic, we care for everyone, from parents striving to create healthier futures for their families, to seniors managing chronic conditions on fixed incomes, to individuals facing housing instability who trust us to provide care when they need it most. By addressing root causes of health disparities such as food insecurity, lack of housing, and mental illness, Saban Community Clinic helps prevent costly emergency room visits and hospitalizations. This work not only transforms lives but also reduces the strain on the broader healthcare system, saving billions of dollars each year.

Health centers are focused on patients, not profits but they are also good for the economy. They support over half a million jobs, generate more than $37 billion in labor income, and contribute nearly $85 billion to the U.S. economy.

Leaders of all political stripes support the mission of health centers because they are effective stewards of tax dollars and the best prescription for the nation’s health.

SABAN COMMUNITY CLINIC HONORS CASEY BLOYS, HBO AND MAX CONTENT CHAIRMAN AND CEO; DAVID EILENBERG, ROKU HEAD OF CONTENT; AND HAYDEN MEYER, IAG EXECUTIVE VP, AT THE 48TH ANNUAL DINNER GALA

BEVERLY HILLS, CA - November 12, 2024 – Friends and supporters from the entertainment industry gathered to honor Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO and Max Content, David Eilenberg, Roku’s Head of Content, and Hayden Meyer, Executive VP & Department Head of the Independent Artist Group, for their philanthropic efforts in advancing health equity in Los Angeles. Comedian and talk show host, Conan O’Brien, served as Master of Ceremonies for the gala at The Maybourne Beverly Hills on November 11th, 2024, raising over $2 million in support of Saban Community Clinic’s pediatric mental health program. The evening also featured a musical performance from Billboard charting singer-songwriter, Stephen Sanchez.

Emmy award-winning actress Laura Dern introduced longtime friend Bloys who received the Leadership Award. In his acceptance speech, Bloys shared the Clinic’s profound impact on patients who live below the Federal Poverty Line. “This past year, 24,000 of our neighbors in Los Angeles who are just making ends meet were able to get access to basic medical, dental, and mental health care because of the hard work and devotion of the Saban clinic staff, the board of directors and you, the donors. I can think of no better use of our time and resources than keeping a vulnerable population of our city physically and mentally healthy.”

Both Meyer and Eilenberg were honored with The Lenny Somberg Award. Eilenberg, the longtime member of the Friends of Saban Community Clinic Board, highlighted the connection between the entertainment industry and the mission of Saban. “So many of us are here in this community, in this industry, in the first place, because we know there’s nothing better than a great story and the notion that there are so many thousands of real-life great stories that all begin with a first step through the Clinic’s doors keeps me motivated to do whatever it takes to keep those doors open and this organization thriving.”
