Advocates

Thank you,
Advocates

Together, we’re working to make healthcare access possible for everyone

Our Advocates program recognizes individuals who show their support for MLK Community Healthcare with an annual gift of $1,000 or more.

Advocates demonstrate their passion for our mission—and their deep belief in our ability to achieve it—by investing in our patients, physicians, and staff. Their giving supports MLKCH’s priority needs and initiatives and inspires others to get to know us. We’re grateful for their support.

Become an Advocate

Your gift enables MLKCH to be nimble in responding to emerging community needs and strong in building programs that create health equity. Recent examples where Advocates have made a difference include training doctors through our Internal Medicine Residency program, addressing food insecurity with Recipe for Health, and offering state of the art care in our Diabetes Center of Excellence.

Become an Advocate today with a gift of $1,000, $2,500, $5,000 or $10,000. Monthly giving sustains your generosity throughout the year. Your support helps build a healthy and thriving South LA!

Benefits

We’re honored to offer Advocates an insider’s view of MLKCH to experience the impact of their giving. Advocates will receive:

  • An invitation for lunch and a personal tour of MLKCH
  • Invitations to special events and programs throughout the year
  • Ongoing MLKCH updates and stories
  • Online recognition
