Board of Directors

Saban Community Clinic began as The Los Angeles Free Clinic in 1967, grounded in the fundamental belief that healthcare is a human right—not a privilege. Today, the Saban Community Clinic Board of Directors upholds that belief by leading with our mission: to provide outstanding, compassionate care to anyone who needs it. We are grateful for these dedicated individuals who generously contribute their time and expertise to help us realize our vision; to achieve health equity and transform lives in Los Angeles.
