In Memoriam
March 10, 1970 - August 4, 2024
Dionne lived a life of service to her community. She was a dear friend and staunch advocate of MLKCH since our earliest days, serving as a Dream Council member alongside her brother Hank and as a partner and supporter of MLKCH through AEIO, the company they founded together. All who knew her were touched by her light.
MLKCH was part of Dionne's embracing love. We honor and gather her spirit to our hearts in our work going forward.
We have a unique opportunity to uplift the work of this world-class hospital and connect others to it so they can know the quality healthcare being delivered in South Los Angeles.
