Fern Seizer ’56 served the Venice Family Clinic for 11 years. Under her leadership, the clinic became the largest free clinic in the country and a national model as a community-based provider of health care for the disadvantaged. During Seizer’s tenure, the clinic’s service expanded from basic care delivered by volunteers to comprehensive and specialty care, case management, and psychosocial services delivered by staff physicians. She obtained a federal grant for ENRICH, a program designed to help 120 families with young children break the cycle of poverty.
