BEST MEDICAL GROUP

FACEY MEDICAL GROUP 11333 Sepulveda Blvd., Mission Hills, CA 91345 www.facey.com (855) 359-6323

F

or 100 years, the Facey name has been synonymous with great health care in Southern California. It was in August of 1923 that Frederick Facey first opened his clinic on Brand Boulevard, beginning a tradition of personal, attentive care that continues to this day through the medical group he founded with his partners. What started as a small clinic in San Fernando has grown to serve more than 150,000 patients at ten locations throughout the San Fernando, Santa Clarita and Simi valleys.

Growing as partners in their community has always been core to the way Facey Medical Group operates as a business, whether that’s by sponsoring youth athletics programs, partnering in civic health initiatives, providing health screenings to local employers and at public events, or by providing health education classes to the community for free. It’s a tradition that shows no signs of slowing as they plan to host SFV Pride in September and a health fair for the Mission Hills & San Fernando community in October, all while putting the finishing touches on a new urgent care clinic in Burbank on the campus of Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center.

“It’s hard to believe how much we’ve grown just in the last ten years, let alone 100,” says Roscoe Marter, M.D., the group’s current president. “In the last ten years, our partnership with Providence has brought us to Burbank and Tarzana. Our Facey doctors also pushed to go West into Simi Valley. The communities we serve have grown, too. 40 years ago, our OBs still did house calls but today, our doctors can see their patients from virtually anywhere thanks to modern technology.”

“I think we’re all humbled by the reach we have today as healers,” adds Erik Davydov, M.D., the group’s medical director. “Since the beginning, Facey doctors have always looked for ways to touch as many lives as possible. Even with all the advances in technology, it’s still those moments with our patients that reawaken the voice inside that called us to be doctors in the first place.”

To celebrate a century of extraordinary care, the Medical Group is inviting current and former patients and employees to share their favorite Facey memories for inclusion in a collection to honor the group’s first 100 years. The collection will be made available to view online later this year. Submissions can be dropped off in person at any Facey office or emailed to 100yearsofcare@facey.com by September 7.

T

hank you, Daily News readers, for choosing Ecola Termite and Pest Control as your 1st choice in pest control for the 10th year in a row.

Our family-owned business started in 1983, spurred by a mother’s mission to offer eco-friendly pest control that would be fatal to pests but gentle on people, animals, and the environment. We’ve since expanded to more than seven offices in Southern California and have been recently recognized as one of the top pest control companies in North America by PCT Magazine.

We owe our growth and longevity to customers who’ve trusted us enough to refer us to people they love, and to employees who live out the golden rule each day. We don’t take any of that for granted.

Our sincere thanks to the LA community. It’s a joy to serve you.

Second-generation Steve Goldberg, a “Valley boy born and raised,” has worked there all his life and loves it.

e are honored to be the Car Wash Group the Daily News families voted as the READER’S BEST CHOICE 11 YEARS in a Row!! Our goal this year is to continue to offer the best services in car washes, auto detailing and oil changes. In large part, what separates our Group of Car Washes from the competition is our effort and dedication to environmental conservation and philanthropy. In drought-ridden California, we believe it’s vital to understand the importance of water conservation and we do our part by using 80% reclaimed water in our washes. Each time you get your car washed, a part of the proceeds go to a local charity, such as the American Cancer Society or City of Hope.
