Letter From Dr. Elisa Nicholas, Chief Executive Officer
Dear Colleagues and Supporters,
I have had the privilege of leading this
organization for over 20 years. I still
remember how thrilled I was to find a
place to work that combined my love of
patient care with my passion for public
health and the desire to work with
people from many different cultural
backgrounds. I had worked in Central
America, Haiti and Africa and thought I was destined to work overseas.
However, my wise mother pointed out that I could do the work I
desired right here close to home. Home is now how I see TCC. Home is
how our patients see TCC. A “medical home” where our caring staff is
there for them, not only for their acute medical problems, but there
for the crises they may face in their lives, the diseases they are trying
to control or the destructive lifestyles they are trying to change.
The staff is always there for our patients. We see ourselves not
only as health care providers but as healers, partners and
mentors. For so many of the children and youth we
care for, we are the only college educated person
they have known on a one-on-one basis over the
course of many years. We all encourage them to do
their best in school, lead healthy lifestyles and
we celebrate their successes. My heart sings when
my patients I have followed for over a decade
bring in their high school awards received upon
graduation. Our staff celebrates every patient who
enters college, every patient who follows their dream, and
every patient who is finally able to lose the needed weight
or who is able to now control their asthma or diabetes.
2
Caring is what we are all about. I hope this will
be obvious as you read through this biannual
report; caring with the provision of the highest
quality of care and innovative programs in health
promotion and chronic disease management.
We could not do what we do if it were not for
our incredible staff, amazing board of directors led by
Victor Gonzales, our partners in our many collaborative efforts and
especially the donors that support us to do our work. I thank you all
and know that we have much more work to do.
We are truly privileged to touch so many lives in so many ways. I thank
those we serve for allowing us to share in their lives and by doing so
making our lives so much richer.
Con Mucho Cariño…..With Much Caring,
Elisa A. Nicholas, MD, MSPH
Chief Executive Officer
Letter From Victor Gonzales, President Of The Board Of Directors
Over the past two years, The Children’s Clinic has achieved significant
accomplishments in promoting its vision of “Growing Healthier
Communities” in the greater Long Beach Community. It is my pleasure
on behalf of the Board of Directors to share with you some of those
accomplishments in this 2006 – 2008 Annual Report.
It has been said numerous times: in giving, we receive. As we thank all
of our 2006 – 2008 supporters of The Children’s Clinic, we hope that
you feel you have received much from your generous gift. In addition,
many thanks go out to Dr. Elisa Nicholas for her leadership, the
hardworking staff at The Children’s Clinic and the numerous
volunteers whose efforts touch many families in our community.
Significant challenges are on the horizon for all non-profits as a result
of the current state of our economy. The Children’s Clinic
is no different and, in fact, in times like this the clinic
and its services become even more important.
The rapidly growing population, the continuing
strain on health care resources and the diversity of
the communities The Children’s Clinic serves in
Southern California, all factor in to the critical need
for increased health care, education and outreach.
Please continue your efforts to lay the
foundation for our work. Without your
commitment and generosity, none of the
accomplishments noted in this annual report would
be possible. We encourage all of you, the members
of The Children’s Clinic family, to continue assisting
us whether as a board member, contributor, volunteer,
advocate, community partner, or as part of TCC’s dedicated staff.
With all of us working together toward a common goal, we will
continue to grow healthier communities.
Sincerely,
Victor J. Gonzales, CPA
The Children’s Clinic Board President
Holthouse, Carlin & Van Trigt, LLP
TCC has touched over 100,000 children and their
families over the last two fiscal years – a 68%
increase since the year 2000. Recordbreaking visits were provided in the most
recent fiscal year giving us the ability to
provide to families that have nowhere
else to turn.

Watch Us Grow
The Children's Clinic continues to grow and
establish new programs to better serve
children and their families in the greater
Long Beach and South Bay area.
Some of the 2006-2008 accomplishments
have been highlighted below to show the
essential role the clinic has played in the
health care of the community.
Did you know?
TCC provides free walk-in
immunizations for any child in
the community meeting poverty
and insurance guidelines.
In FY 07/08, TCC provided
21,110 immunizations!
“The thought of what our community would be like
without TCC is incomprehensible – the 18,000 patients
– where would they go? Many would never go to a doctor.”
David Armes, TCC Board Treasurer
Fiscal Year 2006-2007
• TCC provided 48,900 patient visits
• Provided 16,168 immunizations
• Eye Clinic served 1,041 individuals
Fiscal Year 2007-2008
• TCC provided 55,414 patient visits
• Provided 21,110 immunizations
• Eye Clinic served 1,087 individuals

Meet Angelina
Dressed in a tangerine sundress
and with a smile that can light
up a room, three year old
Angelina knows she is one very
special little girl. On a recent
visit, Angelina’s father, George,
discussed with the doctor
the MRI procedure
Angelina will have
to undergo to determine the cause of her optic nerve
atrophy condition.
The Children’s Clinic staff helped George and his wife
Song access coverage for Angelina under California’s
Healthy Families program, which provides
low cost insurance for children who do not
have coverage and do not qualify for free
Medi-Cal, otherwise her condition may not have
been diagnosed and treated. George is a utility
contractor and work is difficult to come by right now,
so he has taken on additional parenting duties while
Angelina’s mom works full time.
TCC serves as a medical home, which is very important
to pediatrics.

that I am very grateful.”

TCC: Prescription For Growing Healthier Communities
At The Children’s Clinic, we strive to
provide only the highest quality of
care. We approach all patients with
respect, go the extra mile and
ask the extra questions, so that
all of their concerns, and ours,
are addressed. Since almost half of
all Americans live with a chronic
condition, and half of those have multiple chronic conditions,
much of our care and quality improvement projects focus on
asthma and diabetes as well as heart disease, high blood
pressure, obesity and depression, many of which occur together.

TCC knows that self-management is the key to our patients

is to help patients transform their care from being reactive responding mainly when they are sick - to being proactive and
being as healthy as possible. The Chronic Care Model aids us
in this goal of improving care and outcomes at the
patient level as well as at the practice and
community levels.

Helping Children Breathe Easier
Meet Latrice
Latrice is a precocious three year old, with all the makings of a child star,
but behind her beautiful smile there are worries. Latrice suffers from
chronic asthma and obstructive sleep apnea. She has been rushed to the
emergency room seven times in her short three years before her
daughter’s god mother, Shaquanda, told mom to take Latrice to The
Children’s Clinic to see Dr. Nicholas.
Latrice’s mom, Lashonna, wasn’t sure what to expect. She had taken
Latrice to several doctors and with each visit a different diagnosis. Upon
meeting Dr. Nicholas for the first time, Lashonna recalls the feeling of
“coming home”. “I felt as if someone was going to finally tell me what was
wrong with my little girl,” she recalls.
Comprehensive testing was the first step in determining the severity of
Latrice’s asthma. Once Dr. Nicholas explained the treatment options she
referred Latrice and her mom to Dr. Terry Chin, PhD, Associate Director,
Miller Children's Hospital, for further asthma treatment and to TCC's
Asthma Community Health Worker, Carolina Sanchez. Carolina visited
the family at their home, through the Home Visiting Program, and
provided information, resources and training on asthma care
including decreasing in home asthma triggers, help
with organizing Latrice’s asthma medication
schedule, referrals and appointments.
Carolina spent two hours with family on their first
visit and provided instruction and information on
how to care for asthma. Lashonna said of the first
visit, “I wanted to cry. I was so grateful to have
someone come to my home and help me to
understand my daughter’s asthma and how to
take better care of her.”
Today, Latrice’s asthma is under control and steps
are being taken to resolve the obstructive sleep
apnea. All Latrice knows is that she’s her mom’s
little star and that’s the way it should be.
For more information about TCC’s Asthma
programs, please contact Leslie Larsen, CPNP at
(562) 933-0497.
• According to the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) asthma is a leading chronic illness
among children and youth in the United States.
• In 2006, 5.6 million school-aged children and
youth were reported to currently have asthma and 3.1 million had an
asthma episode or attack within the previous year.
• Our Asthma Care Team is a multi-disciplinary disease management
team made up of TCC Administrators, Health Care Providers, Medical
Assistants, Nurses, Health Educators, and Social Workers.
• Throughout FY 06/08 TCC continued to
serve a leadership role in two crucial
programs which target childhood
asthma in the Long Beach community:
the Long Beach Alliance for Children
with Asthma (LBACA) and the Physician
Asthma Care Education (PACE)
Community Health Worker Home
Visiting Program.

Diabetes: Focus On Prevention And Management
Diabetes affects nearly 24 million people in the United States, an
increase of more than 3 million in approximately two years, according to
2007 prevalence data estimates released by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC). This means that nearly 8 percent of the
U.S. population has diabetes*.
At The Children’s Clinic Family Health
Center at Cesar Chavez Elementary
School, Dr. Peter Yeh estimates about half
of the adult patients he sees are afflicted
with diabetes.
One patient, a 33 year old man, is his
“superstar” patient. The man didn’t realize
he was “at risk” for diabetes until he participated in a workshop presented
by the Long Beach Diabetes Collaborative. Afterwards, he made an
appointment with Dr. Yeh and since that time, he has been a model
patient, following the treatment plan and making healthy decisions
about his nutrition. As a result his diabetes is well under control.
At The Vasek Polak Children’s Clinic Family Health Center
on Pine Avenue, Dr. Patricia Bellas, who has been with
TCC for 7 years and a practicing physician for over 20
years, estimates that she has about 300 active patients
who have been diagnosed with diabetes. She says the
key to combating this disease is by “taking control and
owning it”. Self-management plays a large part in this
and Dr. Bellas and Dr. Yeh both take the time to work
with patients and families. By building trust and
looking at patients in a comprehensive way, they and
all the other TCC doctors, providers, nurses, educators and
medical assisants are working to combat diabetes one
patient at a time.
For several decades, TCC has played a major role in
the care of children and adults with diabetes. Our
diabetes programs continue to be nationally
recognized for their focus on prevention and
management of this chronic disease. Our approach
is simple, yet very effective. We provide a
multidisciplinary approach including social support and
nutritional counseling and involve the
entire family making a lasting change
in the home environment.

Management programs, please contact

Events: Charity Regatta
In 1987, four local yacht
club commodores got
together and decided it
was time to give back
to the community. Pete
Ives, Long Beach Yacht
Club; Hans Schoedl, Shoreline Yacht Club; Tom
Ramsey, Alamitos Bay Yacht Club and Larry
Lewis, Seal Beach Yacht Club had several
meetings at each other’s homes to set the plan in
motion that for 22 years has benefited The
Children’s Clinic.
Since that time, four more yacht clubs have
joined the team; Cerritos Bahia Yacht Club, Little
Ships Fleet, Long Beach Singles Yacht Club and
Navy Yacht Club of Long Beach. Whether the
winds are topping out at 8 knots or 16 knots,
come September, sailboats will head out into
the bay for a day of racing in support of TCC.
On September 24, 2006, the Charity Regatta
garnered more than $34,000 in donations from
racers and sponsors
while in 2007 more than
$40,000 was raised. TCC
is extremely grateful for
all the hard work and
effort that goes into
planning, promoting and
executing this event in
support of the children
and families TCC serves.

Meet Brian
The Children’s Clinic (TCC) is proud to be the community’s safety net, providing health care services to
families in need. At the Burger Bash following last year’s Charity Regatta, Dr. Maria Chandler,
TCC’s Chief Medical Officer, was approached by a family attending the festivities. The
mother asked Dr. Chandler if she remembered their teenage son Brian, and informed
her that she followed him at the clinic for most of his childhood. This was
a working family without health insurance, and having no other
options for care, the children were able to see a pediatrician and get
needed health services at TCC. When the family was finally able to get
private health insurance, Dr. Chandler referred them to a local
pediatrician who was trained as a resident at TCC. All these years later,
the family has seen its circumstances change, they became members
of one of the yacht clubs, their son began sailing sabot boats, and
the family was delighted to support TCC and the Charity Regatta.

Awards & Recognition
A True Angel
Lynn Messenger is an extraordinary
woman; some might even call her
a “ministering angel”. TCC’s resident
angel educates, mentors and
protects and has been doing so for
over 20 years as one of TCC’s
Pediatric Nurse Practioners.
Through her work at California State University, Long Beach, UCLA,
and Mount St. Mary’s she has instructed aspiring nursing students,
while at TCC she has educated young mothers to be on how to best
care for their infants and children. Her friend and TCC colleague,
Leslie Larsen writes, “Lynn is an amazing health care professional –
experienced, capable, compassionate, (and) willing to enter into the
lives of her patients and their families and truly care about them.”
Lynn is a natural mentor, empathetic and kind, exemplifying all that
is best about TCC and our Teamwork of Culture and Caring. She has
touched the lives of many a new nurse, pediatrician, resident,
medical assistant and staff.
Lynn is a “true angel”, says Dr. Elisa Nicholas. She
cares and protects her friends in times of need
and does the same for the children and families
she sees. She believes in the children and families
she serves and is “one of the clinic’s strongest
advocates in promoting both the physical and
psychosocial health of the people the clinic
serves,” said Margaret Brady, PhD, RN, CPNP of
California State University Long Beach.
Lynn will be retiring in the fall of 2009, but that doesn’t
mean she’ll be far from TCC. Retirement presents new
challenges and new opportunities to effect change in
the community.

I love Thursdays and according to
my family, I am always happier on
Thursdays. It must be because it is the one day a week that I
exclusively see patients and their families. As a pediatrician for the
last 20 years, I find no greater fulfillment than in being allowed to share
the challenges, joys and triumphs of my patients and their families.
Ultimately though, to be able to combine patient care, administration, program
design and public health advocacy is truly a gift.
Dr. Elisa Nicholas
During FY 2006 to 2008, Dr. Nicholas was the recipient of the following awards which
honor her commitment to the patients and families in the Long Beach community and
