Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center physicians recently celebrated National Doctors’ Day by donating $10,000 to the Jenesse Center, a prominent non-profit organization dedicated to domestic violence prevention and intervention.
The Jenesse Center, with 43 years of community involvement, offers life-saving services to victims of domestic violence, and advocates for peace in homes and relationships. Their culturally sensitive programs provide shelter, mental health counseling, life skills training, job referrals, legal services and educational initiatives to break the cycle of violence.
