Organization Impact
SDFHC was established in 1980 in response to the lack of healthcare services available to low-income and
under-served communities. Today there are health center sites in Val Verde, Canyon Country, Newhall, outreach
programs at Cal Arts and COC and a new mental health office in Valencia. Over 9000 visits occur annually. For
the past five years, Ferdman has chaired our Rubber Ducky Festival Committee, which has raised over $330,000
to support healthcare, dental, and mental health services to the most vulnerable in our community. His efforts
allow us to offer care and never refuse services to anyone in need regardless of an individual’s ability to pay.
Ferdman has also served as the Treasurer of our Board since 2017.
