LifeLong Medical Care is a Berkeley-based nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center that has delivered medical, dental, and social services to underserved people of all ages across California's East Bay since 1976. Born from the Gray Panthers' Over 60 Health Center, it now runs a network of primary care clinics, dental centers, school-based health sites, urgent care, and supportive housing programs, serving more than 66,000 patients a year regardless of income or insurance status.
Ken Berrick founded Seneca Family of Agencies in 1985 in Oakland and spent four decades turning a single home for boys into a 1,900-person nonprofit serving children across California and Washington through a model he calls Unconditional Care. Now CEO Emeritus of Seneca and President and CEO of Just Advocates, he keeps arguing the same line: kids aren't failing the system, the system is failing kids.
