VCMRF: Over 55 years of service
For over 55 years, the Ventura County Medical Resource Foundation has supported:
- state-of-the-art medical equipment so babies get a healthier start and sick children are treated in a safe and trusted medical environment close to home
- prevention education and health care screenings so families can take better care of themselves, and children can develop into teenagers with access to health care programs
- services that promote self-esteem so children and teenagers are then less likely to engage in drug or alcohol use
- access to care for seniors.
Through VCMRF’s efforts, families in Ventura County are stronger.
VCMRF has a reputation within the health care community as a proven support of the compassionate connection between caring and need. For over five decades it has supported medical equipment, research, specialists, programs and services at the Ventura County Medical Center, Ambulatory Care Clinics, Behavioral Health, Department of Public Health, the Ventura County Superior Courts, the Ventura County Probation Department and other agencies of the County.
The Ventura County Cancer Task Force and the Chronic Disease Symposium supported by VCMRF stimulated greater collaboration, cooperation and partnerships to educate the public and create new concepts and strategies to improve chronic disease and cancer care in Ventura County. VCMRF formed relationships between medical providers and social service agencies that are collaborating today on projects to decrease the incidence of chronic disease among the senior population and increase awareness of the importance of early detection of breast and cervical cancer services and screenings.
