What is the Movable Feast?
Movable Feast is the annual fundraising event
benefiting the St. John’s Well Child & Family Center.
This gala food event showcases some of LA’s best
restaurants while supporting healthcare services and
wellness programs for people living in our city’s most
under-served communities of South Los Angeles and
Compton. Local growers and food conscious chefs will
unite to host this unique affair for guests to savor a
variety of tastings that feature locally grown, sustainable
products procured from our growing partners!
St. John’s is an independent, non-profit network of
community health centers and school-based clinics
serving South Los Angeles and Compton, commonly
referred to as a food desert, where the majority of
residents live in poverty and are plagued with chronic
diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
A delicious way to raise awareness about the lack of healthy food and resources in impoverished communities like
South LA and Compton.
“When I first came to St. John’s, I hadn’t received treatment for my diabetes in
over 10 years,” said Julio Magana, a patient who lost his vision due to diabetes
related complications, but has since received corrective surgery to restore his
sight. “St. John’s has taught me how to manage my diabetes through diet,
exercise, and medication. For me and others, we need to be able to access
healthy food and safe places to exercise. We have to change our lives and our
neighborhoods for our health.” - Julio M, St. John’s patient

St. John’s 4th Annual Moveable Feast 2014 - Tremendous Turnout
and Even Bigger Impact!
By Lawrence Davis
St. John’s Well Child and Family Center hosted its 4th Annual Movable Feast fundraiser this year
on April 27th at the historic Park Plaza Hotel near Downtown Los Angeles.
Movable Feast is an ongoing fundraiser shining a light on the poor access to quality nutritious food

they can eventually land a job in the industry.

St. John’s Launches My Health LA
Healthcare Program: Coverage
for Undocumented residents of
LA County
Los Angeles, CA—St. John’s launched
a new LA County health care program,
My Health LA. It will provide health care
coverage for those individuals that do
not qualify for Obamacare. My Health
LA (MHLA) is a no-cost health care
program for low-income residents of
Los Angeles County who do not have
health insurance. The program includes
primary care services at clinics, such
as health screenings, physicals, chronic
disease management, and prescription
medications. Specialty care and more acute
services will be provided by LA County’s
Department of Health Services.
SHAME OF THE CITY – THE
SEQUEL SLUM HOUSING: L.A.’S
HIDDEN HEALTH CRISIS
Enhancing Community Health
by Improving Housing and Health
Practices, Aligning Government
Priorities and Increasing the Power
of Tenants
There is a fundamental crisis of health
and human rights in Los Angeles,
particularly in Downtown and South Los
Angeles. Contributing to the crisis are
substandard and slum housing conditions
that permeate these communities causing
direct and serious health consequences for
residents who are primarily tenants and
children. The negative health outcomes,
which result from living in slum housing
conditions, represent a substantial public
health hazard.
2014: The Year of 50 year anniversaries!
Both St. John’s & War on Poverty Turn 50
By Jim Mangia, President & CEO, St. John’s Well Child and Family Centers
2014 is the 50th anniversary for two critical aspects of life in South Los
Angeles. It’s the 50th anniversary of America’s “War on Poverty” and the 50th
anniversary of St. John’s Well Child and Family Centers. St. John’s, founded by
the LA Pediatric Society and St. John’s Episcopal Church in 1964, has become
a major community based institution, not only as a critical part of the war on
poverty in the United States, but the global struggle for health and human rights.
Serving more than 150,000 patient visits a year – more than any other health
institution in South Los Angeles – and engaged in a host of service, intervention
and prevention programming that goes way beyond the traditional scope of a
federally qualified health center, St. John’s embodies the efficient and effective use
of private and public resources to attack a seemingly intractable problem (like
poor health outcomes, or poverty) head on and with great success.
READY FOR OBAMACARE
A message from the CEO, Jim Mangia
To many of us who have spent a lifetime creating health access for those who have
long been denied health care, and most importantly, for those in desperate need of
health services, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is an
historic opportunity.
That’s why St. John’s unrelenting focus in 2013 has been to make Obamacare
work for South LA and the tens of thousands of patients we serve and support
in living longer, healthier lives. We are thrilled to share with you our successes in
ensuring that Obamacare will truly benefit the men, women and children in our
communities who we believe have a fundamental human right to health.
