“I have no family in the United States so when the Canoga Park Health Center invited me to a baby shower, I was so excited. I couldn’t stop talking about it for days!”
-NEVHC Patient, Canoga Park Health Center
Seventeen years ago, Northeast Valley Health Corporation (NEVHC) employees saw an “unmet” need and started the ‘I Support You’ (ISU) Employee Giving Campaign, an annual employee giving campaign that is organized and funded by NEVHC employees, to help raise funds to support ancillary healthcare programs that would positively impact the lives of our patients, especially children. Thanks to you, along with other NEVHC employees, our patients are living healthier lives.
This year, we have more programs than ever that need supplemental funding. Please join us in championing these important programs by making a contribution today! Together, we can exceed our goal to raise $50,000 and to increase the percentage of employees participating in the campaign to 100%. Listed below are the nine programs selected for this year’s ISU Campaign.
