July 26, 2022 by Kyle Russ Leave a Comment

LifeLong Chief Resident Justin Chin, DO, has been selected to receive an award for Excellence in Graduate Medical Education by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).

“Your performance during residency training ranks you among the top family medicine residents. The American Academy of Family Physicians and the Commission on Membership and Member Services appreciate your hard work and commitment to the ideals of family medicine,” the AAFP wrote.

The award includes a $1,000 scholarship that “recognizes outstanding family medicine residents for leadership, civic involvement, exemplary patient care, and aptitude for and interest in family medicine.”

Dr. Chin with LifeLong Board Member Dr. Ron Adler

“Amazing work, Justin,” said Dr. Becca Citron, Core Faculty of LifeLong’s Family Medicine Residency Program. “We are so proud of you and all your accomplishments and very grateful to have you as part of our program.”

This is the second award this year for Dr. Chin, who was honored last spring by the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP).

Dr. Chin, in the graduating class of 2023, was awarded Resident Paper of the Year for his paper Perceptions of the Osteopathic Profession in New York City’s Korean Communities.

2022 Annual Gala

March 29, 2022 by Kyle Russ Leave a Comment

2022-Gala-Header

All I can say is, “Wow!” There was a lot to take in at LifeLong Medical Care’s March 26th Gala – amazing travel and unique experiences offered at auction, honoring the lifetime of advocacy of our Bobbie Awardee, a sumptuous cake frenzy, and the special musical performance by Kate Lewis and the Jazz Headliners featuring LifeLong CEO David B. Vliet on piano was a definite highlight! It was a very fun evening. What impressed me most was the generosity of those able to join us as we kicked off a fundraising campaign for our new health center in East Oakland. 

Our East Oakland Health Center at Foothill Square Shopping Center opened twenty-five years ago. It was the first to open under our LifeLong Medical Care name, reflecting our expanded mission to offer the same great healthcare we had been providing to seniors at the Over 60 Health Center in Berkeley to people of all ages in more of the East Bay. In 2008, Dr. Howard Daniel was 78 years old and still delivering babies when he asked LifeLong Medical Care to take on his large OB-GYN practice, also located in East Oakland. Today, our Howard Daniel Health Center continues the good doctor’s tradition, providing pre- and post-natal care, and other health services for women. It also offers primary care, behavioral health, health education, and social services for adults and children. Photos of generations of children delivered and cared for by this practice line the walls.

See the program in action with the video we premiered at the gala.

LifeLong’s new health center in East Oakland will bring these two established practices together in a brand-new facility to offer a continuum of care from pre-natal through geriatrics. And, with this new facility, we will expand our offering to include dental care. We look forward to welcoming patients by the end of next year.

Sincerely,

Sylvia Hacaj
Director, Development & Communications

2022 Annual Gala

March 17, 2022 by Kyle Russ Leave a Comment

2022-Gala-Header

YOU’RE INVITED!

If you share our belief that everyone deserves health care regardless of ability to pay, immigration status, or housing situation, join LifeLong Medical Care’s board of directors, executive leadership team, staff and supporters for a gala celebration Saturday, March 26th at the Oakland Marriott City Center. It will be a night of fun and frenzy as we compete silently (and loudly) for experiences, trips, and cakes – sweet, delicious cakes! And a special musical performance by Kate Lewis and the Jazz Headliners, an all-star group uniting for one night only. Don’t miss this “must see” event.

We will be posthumously honoring Dr. Chris Kiefer with our “Bobbie” Award, named after East Bay health advocate Rosalind “Bobbie” Singer. Chris served on LifeLong’s Board of Directors from 1994 until his passing in August 2021 and was a tireless advocate for our patients. He chaired the board’s advocacy committee for many years, attending countless meetings with legislators in Sacramento. In retirement, Chris developed excellent wood carving skills, creating sculptures and beautiful wooden bowls, many of which were auctioned to raise funds for LifeLong.

2022 Gala Information

SUPPORT HEALTH EQUITY

LifeLong Medical Care serves 50,000+ residents of Alameda, Contra Costa, and Marin counties annually, regardless of ability to pay, immigration status or housing situation. We provide high-quality medical, dental, behavioral health, and social services for all ages. We take care of our patients in many settings: health centers, mobile vans, schools, encampments of the unhoused, and supportive housing. 

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, LifeLong has leveraged trust built over four and half decades to assist those people who have been hit hardest. As of February, LifeLong has fully vaccinated 21,903 people (more than the seating capacity of Chase Center) and administered 32,782 COVID tests; 9,335 of those doses and 6,643 of those tests took place in East Oakland, serving residents living in some of the most underserved zip codes in the entire Bay Area. 

LifeLong is preparing to break ground in July on a new state-of-the-art health center in East Oakland, continuing our commitment to this neighborhood stretching back a quarter of a century. We are kicking off a $2.5 million dollar fundraising campaign, and your support will be life-changing, and even lifesaving, for the expectant moms, kids, and adults of all ages who will be making this center their new health home. 

LIFELONG’S COMMITMENT TO EAST OAKLAND

Our East Oakland Health Center at Foothill Square Shopping Center opened twenty-five years ago under our more expansive mission to offer the same great healthcare we had been providing to seniors at the Over 60 Health Center in Berkeley to people of all ages in more of the East Bay region as LifeLong Medical Care. It was also the first of our health centers to include a Wellness Center, allowing us to incorporate yoga, meditation, healthy cooking, and even a rooftop vegetable garden for an integrated approach to health. 

In 2008, Dr. Howard Daniel was 78 years old and still delivering babies when he asked LifeLong Medical Care to take on his large OB-GYN practice, also located in East Oakland. Today, our Howard Daniel Health Center continues the good doctor’s tradition, providing pre- and post-natal care, and other health services for women. It also offers primary care, behavioral health services, health education, and social services for adults and children. The photos of generations of children delivered and cared for by this practice line the walls.

And, with this new facility, we will expand our offering to include dental care. We look forward to welcoming patients by the end of next year. 

JOIN US

LifeLong’s board of directors, executive leadership team, staff, and volunteers look forward to welcoming you on Saturday evening, March 26th at the Oakland Marriott City Center for a wonderful evening to support a new health care home for the East Oakland community. 

Sincerely,

Sylvia Hacaj
Director, Development & Communications

LifeLong Planning New East Oakland Health Center

February 25, 2022 by Kyle Russ Leave a Comment

Blog Contribution: Sylvia Hacaj, Director, Development & Communications, LifeLong Medical Care

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, LifeLong has leveraged trust built over four and half decades to assist those people who have been hit hardest. As of earlier this month, LifeLong had fully vaccinated 21,903 people (That’s more than the seating capacity of Chase Center!) and administered 32,782 COVID tests; 9,335 of those doses and 6,643 of those tests took place in East Oakland, which includes some of the most underserved zip codes in the entire Bay Area.

LifeLong is preparing to break ground in July of this year on a new health center in East Oakland at 10605 Foothill Blvd., just around the corner from where our current health center is located. This is a continuation of our commitment to this neighborhood which stretches back to the late 1980’s when the head of Oakland’s Department on Aging asked us to bring our original Over 60 Health Center concept from Berkeley to Oakland. And we did so with our first space at the Edes Senior Center

Our East Oakland services expanded with the inclusion of OakCare Medical Group’s Hegenberger Practice, a group of Highland Hospital physicians also dedicated to ensuring health care access to all. We moved to our current facility at Foothill Square Shopping Center twenty-five years ago under our more expansive mission: to offer the same great healthcare we had been providing to seniors when we were only known as Over 60 Health Center to people of all ages in more of the East Bay as LifeLong Medical Care.  It was also the first of our health centers to include a Wellness Center, allowing us to incorporate yoga, meditation, healthy cooking, and even a rooftop vegetable garden for an integrated approach to health.

With the support of the Alameda Department of Public Health, and through the determination, compassion, and leadership of Dr. Barbara Towner, one of the first LifeLong providers to serve East Oakland and LifeLong’s former Chief Medical Officer, and Dominica Zone, now the center director, the East Oakland practice grew. It included an adult day health center for disabled adults run by LifeLong’s now Director of Geriatric Services, Kathryn Stambaugh. Over time, LifeLong’s East Oakland Health Center became known for caring for adults with very complex health issues, and for special programming related to asthma, frequent utilization, Care Neighborhoods, and more.

In 2008, Dr. Howard Daniel was 78 years old and still delivering babies when he asked LifeLong Medical Care to take on his large OB-GYN practice, also located in East Oakland. At that time, he had already been serving the neighborhood for 45 years. His office and practice became part of LifeLong, and he and his wife Sally became providers at our Howard Daniel Health Center. Dr. Daniel is representative of the community of African American physicians who worked for decades to ensure everyone, particularly African Americans, received the quality care they deserved.

Today, our Howard Daniel Health Center continues his tradition, providing pre- and post-natal care, and other health services for women. It also offers primary care, behavioral health services, health education, and social services for adults and children. Dozens of photos of generations of children delivered and cared for by this practice line the walls.

LifeLong’s new health center in East Oakland will bring these two established practices together in a brand-new facility to offer a continuum of care encompassing prenatal through geriatrics. And, with this new facility, we will be able to expand our offerings at East Oakland to include dental care. We look forward to welcoming patients by the end of 2023.

At LifeLong Medical Care’s Annual Gala March 26, 2022 at the Marriot Oakland City Center, we will be kicking off a $2.5 million dollar fundraising campaign. For the expectant moms, kids, and adults of all ages whose health care home in 2023 will be our new East Oakland Health Center, we know all too well that the care they received can be life-changing and sometimes even lifesaving.

Tickets and sponsorships still available.
