There are many programs and services that you can help support. Here you can learn more about just a few of these very worthwhile opportunities:

Mary Potter Program for Human Dignity was established to help care for the sick and dying, regardless of their ability to pay for medical health care services. Little Company of Mary, in its mission statement, recognizes the importance of caring for individuals who might not otherwise have access to these services. In the spirit of the organization�s foundress, Venerable Mary Potter, we make visible the healing presence of Jesus by providing necessary medical health care services while preserving individual respect and dignity.

Partners for Healthy Kids, known as our �doctor�s office on wheels�, is an important program funded completely through donations. The mobile pediatric van visits school sites and shelters throughout the South Bay and Harbor communities providing episodic health care to under-served children at no cost to the family. Services include physical examinations, medical care for sick and injured children, immunizations, medications and health screenings. Initiating service in the spring of 1994, the program has grown rapidly. More than 19,000 patient visits - both children and their families - have occurred since the program began.
