Message From The CEO
Dear
Friends of La Maestra,
Welcome to our website. I am very proud to report on the
organization's successes this year. Our updated website
is one of those. Let me recap some of our growth and
successes:
· The establishment of new clinic site in Lemon Grove
and a new, larger clinic in National City
· The beginning of our Senior Medicine Program
· The implementation of Telemedicine
· A Food Pantry to assist our patients
· Our Microcredit program is flourishing with over 300
participants and a long waiting list
· The establishment of La Maestra Circle of Care
Endowment to ensure long-term, sustained support for
health and well-being in City Heights
Now for update on our new building.
We hosted our Ribbon Cutting Event on July 16, 2010 for
our new LEED Certified Gold building! This is a huge
accomplishment as it is the only Gold Certified in San
Diego County and one of very few Gold Certified
buildings in the nation. We are so proud of our new
facility and are happy to welcome the community to
experience it.
As many of you know, La Maestra has a
Microcredit program. Through this wonderfully
successfully program we will establish several of our
Microcredit clients and will feature a flower and
gift shop on the main floor of the new building, our
janitorial services will be provided by one of the
companies started by the program and we have other
retail space available for other projects as well.
Another fascinating component of this project is the
recently formed an Arts and Culture Committee to study
and incorporate designs, artwork, symbols from the
diverse cultures served through La Maestra. The goal is
to reflect the rich cultural artistry from our
populations throughout the new building. After all, La
Maestra is the medical home and center for City Heights'
myriad of cultures and the new building will clearly
incorporate this asset.
Please feel free to come by and tour or new building and
see the excitement for yourself.
Warmly,
Zara Marselian
