THE LOOP A COLLECTION OF STORIES FROM AROUND CALIFORNIA
JULY & AUGUST 2025
ISSUE 145
VOLUME 13
Welcome to WestCare California! The past two months have been a testament to the dedication and impact of our WestCare California teams. We're proud to share stories that embody our mission. Our team at The Living Room was honored with the President's Award at the Fresno Rainbow Pride Parade, a powerful recognition of our commitment to our community. This success was echoed in other community partnerships, as our Celebrating Families! team connected with families at a local back-to-school event, providing essential resources. We are also thrilled to introduce new leaders, including Michelle Stone, our new Director of Residential Services, and Jenny Magdaleno, our new Program Director of STOP Area 3. Their expertise, along with the passion of all our new staff, will be vital as we continue to serve our clients. We were also honored to have WestCare’s Deputy Administrator, David Daniel, interviewed by ABC 30 about the implementation of Proposition 36, highlighting our work in providing treatment as an alternative to incarceration. These accomplishments are a direct result of our staff's hard work and compassion. Through it all, we remain deeply proud of our staff for consistently showing up and providing quality, compassionate services to those we serve every day.
