VIP Gala Program 2023

Our 2023 Gala theme, Changing Lives, One at a Time, speaks to the impact we make on individuals of all ages and whose needs may be simple (a vaccine or routine check-up) or complex (housing, behavioral health services, or support with a chronic illness). Our approach is person-centered, and our goal is to help individuals lead their best lives.

Dear Friends,

Debbian Fletcher-Blake President & Chief Executive Officer

Thank you for joining our annual Gala, themed “Changing Lives, One at Time.” Congratulatio ns to our distinguished honorees Sher Sparano and Ponce Bank, our Community Builder award recipient Paloma Izquierdo-Hernandez, and our Political Impact award recipient Senator Luis Sepúlveda. Each of these individuals has had an impact on many lives, and we are honored to recognize their contributions.

Our Gala is an opportunity to come together in support of the clients who need medical care, housing and shelter, behavioral health, case management and other services. The ongoing opioid crisis, COVID 19 and the continued influx of asylum seekers to New York City are daily reminders that VIP’s work is needed now more than ever. The Bronx has among the highest rates of opioid use and overdose deaths and as many as 1,000 migrants arrive each day in NYC. We are seeing increasing rates of mental health challenges among children, and people still struggle to access basic health care.

General trends and statistics don’t tell the full story. Each client who walks through our doors has a story and a hope for a better future, and each day our staff help our clients get closer to that better future. We may not always see the impact of our work, but we know that with each visit, support group, medical treatment, or counseling session, we are helping make someone’s life better, and in many cases, saving lives. Through our harm reduction work in the community and our newly launched mobile medication unit, we know we are making an impact where it is needed most. By providing shelter to families with desperate needs, including migrants and others experiencing homelessness, we know we are helping people get back on their feet. And by providing needed primary and specialty care, we are making sure people get the care they need to manage their diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic illnesses, one at a time.

Among the clients who received services last year, the overwhelming majority are diagnosed with chronic medical conditions, mental illness and/or substance use disorders. Ninety percent live in poverty, more than 74% are unemployed, and over 65% did not graduate high school.

It is with the support from people like you that VIP can continue to address these challenges, to make sure those most vulnerable are not forgotten. Your continued support of VIP will help us bring equitable services to underresourced communities.

We are deeply grateful to our supporters, honorees and award recipients, Board of Directors and staff, and to all who have made this Gala a success. Most importantly, we are humbled and honored by the clients for their trust and partnership.

Dear Ms. Fletcher-Blake,

Congratulations to you and the Board of Directors at VIP Community Services as you celebrate your 49th Anniversary of service in the East Tremont community and beyond. Opening your doors in 1974 to a neighborhood besieged by systemic poverty, chronic drug abuse and high unemployment, VIP Community Services has become a force for positive change and the resu lts are evident today. Through housing, job training, therapeutic counseling, and more, renewal and hope has replaced despair in the lives of countless individuals who have come to you for support

This year’s theme, Changing Lives, One at a Time, exemplifies exactly what you have done for our borough. Your person-centered approach honors and validates those with unique challenges seeking support. Undaunted by this mission to bring positive change, VIP Community Services has continued to grow from 8 employees working from a church basement to today where over 300 committed and dedicated staff members are ready to provide the care and compassion needed to see their clients live their best lives.

On behalf of the Bronx’s 1.4 million, thank you for remaining true to your vision to uplift the lives of all our residents!

Dear Ms. Rivera,

Congratulations to VIP Community Services, now celebrating 49 years of service to the Bronx!

Since its establishment in 1974, VIP has been a beacon of hope and support for thousands of individuals who faced economic hardships during the tumultuous 1970s and 1980s, an era that left neighborhoods scarred with debris and uncertainty.

Throughout those trying times, VIP Community Services demonstrated remarkable resilience, standing firm in its commitment to helping its clients, even as the shadows of redlining and urban blight cast doubt on the future of our beloved Bronx. With diligence, faith, and hope, VIP persevered, firmly believing in the promise of better days to come, recognizing the inherent value in every person that sought their assistance, regardless of their zip code.

In particular, I wish to commend your organization's dedication in assisting v arious vulnerable groups in our community, including our seniors, expecting mothers, survivors of domestic violence, individuals struggling with addictions, our LGBTQIA+ youths, and countless others. Your tireless efforts have not gone unnoticed, and on behalf of the Bronx residents, I extend my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation.

The impact of VIP Community Services reaches far and wide, and we are immensely grateful for the care and support you consistently offer. This momentous occasion is a testamen t to the difference your organization has made in countless lives, and I am confident that there will be many more such celebrations in the future.

Once again, congratulations on this remarkable achievement, and may you continue to be a guiding light for the Bronx, providing hope, healing, and opportunities for all who walk through your doors.

Sincerely,

July 26th, 2023

In 2017, they created the Ponce de Leon Foundation which to date has donated over $1.7 million in grants to 90 nonprofits serving our communities. Ponce Bank will continue to expand and invest in our communities for many years to come.

Political Impact Award

NYS Senator Luis Sepúlveda

32nd District

Senator Luis R. Sepúlveda was first elected to represent the 32nd Senate District in April 2018. His diverse district covers large parts of the South and Central Bronx. He previously served for three terms as the Assemblyman for the 87th Assembly District.

A staunch advocate for his constituents and the people of the state of New York, Senator Sepúlveda has been a champion of bolstering economic opportunity, diversity, and social service reforms, especially as they affect middle and working-class families.

Senator Sepúlveda has continuously advocated for increased funding for community health and mental health services. His efforts to raise the visibility among legislators and key opinion leaders of the alarming suicide rate in the Latina teen population proved fruitful most recently when Governor Cuomo announced the formation of the New York State Suicide Prevention Task Force. The Senator also worked closely with Mayor de Blasio in 2014 to secure funding for universal pre-kindergarten in New York City.

As a representative of one of the lowest income districts in the state and with an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of his constituents, Senator Sepúlveda is deeply engaged in his community and creating opportunities for educational and economic justice. His district office’s top priority is to provide reliable, excellent, and unrivaled constituent services, on issues including housing, healthcare, social services, and more. He regularly hosts free workshops, job fairs, and resource fairs in the community.

Community Builder Award

Paloma Izquierdo-Hernandez President & CEO Urban Health Plan

Paloma Izquierdo-Hernandez is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Urban Health Plan, one of the largest community health center networks in New York State. Paloma has devoted her career to increasing access to high-quality, affordable health care and reducing the rates of health disparities in underserved communities. Paloma’s unwavering commitment to advancing Urban Health Plan’s mission is reflected in both the organization’s successes and the positive impact it has on the communities it serves.

Under Paloma’s leadership, Urban Health Plan has grown from a onesite health center in the South Bronx to a network of twelve federally qualified community health centers, spanning the Bronx, Central Harlem, and Corona, Queens. The organization is also comprised of two mental health facilities, and twelve school-based health centers, all serving over 400,000 patients annually. In addition, Urban Health Plan offers many grant-funded programs and WIC services throughout its locations.

It is with great pride that Paloma dedicates herself to continuing the work and vision of her late father, Dr. Richard Izquierdo, M.D., the founder of Urban Health Plan. In 2009, the Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health and Science Charter School was founded as a way of addressing the community’s educational gaps and developing a future pipeline of health professionals. Since its inception, The School has had high college acceptance rates.

Paloma currently serves as the Chair-Elect of the National Association of Community Health Centers and on other numerous boards. She has also served as the chairperson of the board of directors of the Community Health Care Association of New York State (CHCANYS).
