Several speakers urged additional resources and city action; speakers included Jessica Robinson (Standing for Black Girls Coalition) and Sekibu Hutchinson (Women's Leadership Project), who asked the council to allocate funding and office space for services addressing violence against Black women.

Administrative notes

Council members and department leaders repeatedly noted that this council (15 members) is majority female for the first time, a point several speakers described as a milestone for representation. Capri Maddox, general manager of the Los Angeles Civil Rights Department, and Tracy Grama, president of the Commission on the Status of Women, opened remarks and introduced honorees.

Honorees named during the event included community organizers, nonprofit leaders, small-business owners and civic volunteers from across the city. Examples cited from the dais included Lara Berthels (recognized for strategic communications and advocacy work), Jenny Kim of Park’s Barbecue in Koreatown, Latora Green of Valley of Change, Camille Terry (founder of Charger Help) and Odelia Romero of CIELLO, an organization serving indigenous language communities. Several councilmembers described local work by awardees that addressed food insecurity, cultural preservation, small-business development and volunteer-led community services.

Councilmember Heather Hutt and others who led the ceremony urged sustained investment in women’s economic power and said the council and city departments should apply a gender equity lens across city policy and programs. Tracy Grama noted research linking higher women’s wealth to broader community benefits and called for integrating gender equity into city practices rather than treating it as an add-on.

The event included short biographies of honorees and photo opportunities on the South Steps. No formal votes were recorded related to the awards during the meeting; the presentations were ceremonial.

Several councilmembers used their remarks to highlight local projects and to encourage residents to visit the accompanying exhibit at City Hall showcasing the honorees’ biographies.","The Los Angeles City Council and the Commission on the Status of Women presented the 2025 Women of Impact awards at City Hall, recognizing dozens of community leaders from across council districts and noting that the council is majority female for the first time.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6635347,"City Council honors St. John’s Community Health on 60th anniversary, highlights street medicine and maternal programs",1078,2837000,3915000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2640573-c1e1776247628aaa10363349d5c76b97&start=2837&end=3915","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2640573-c1e1776247628aaa10363349d5c76b97/thumbnail_2837000.jpg","/articles/6635347/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/City-Council-honors-St-Johns-Community-Health-on-60th-anniversary-highlights-street-medicine-and-maternal-programs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6635347-c02370f98f7037463adfa85a8add5720/orig.mp4?Expires=1770422879&Signature=iPUTkcpPjz4NavBRPDt6~IkH2NWkAeb8QBdrVRabeB4YW~zDkWBLYIpmH11Nh5SjDmRyvSinPpcwtIfw8E5WeWJ0QgmhZmf6y5ES3lR~faNpSOqfcUVGKeDcPj4HmI4gZg9vIq-lQDL3xordgMxbRhE7JmTrFKJUVv6tSmGPiiHjVYN-WzuvIjhRY5dRVD374DQfHPpp~Wg3CfumgYlimOjRfbobeTJfMaaerWy24Dfy0-Nrq1Nc-DgT29wFDLqD4fLm~LtwCOPkkekJs1hXMAmCtnMaknCq5stbSnMcCbt9itegSdj1173n~jXpHfy6GYQRIIrwHBmivVL6NBPhxg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Councilmember Curren Price recognized St. John’s Community Health during the Los Angeles City Council meeting, marking the nonprofit’s 60th anniversary and praising its role providing medical, dental and behavioral health services in South Los Angeles and the surrounding region.

St. John’s leaders told the council their network now includes more than 24 health centers and four mobile clinics that, they said, served more than 1.5 million patients over three decades. Jim Manja, identified in the presentation as St. John’s CEO and president, outlined programs the health center runs, including a reentry program for people leaving incarceration, a large transgender health program and a street medicine program that treats people living on the streets.

“Healthcare is a human right, and we’re going to continue to fight and serve the populations who need and deserve the highest quality healthcare in this county,” Jim Manja said during remarks to the council.

A St. John’s patient, Kiana Purifoy, described participating in the center’s Committed to Black Wellness and Health program and said it provided emotional and practical support during her postpartum period. At the podium, a St. John’s street medicine provider, Bukola Olusanya, said the center treated more than 10,000 people experiencing homelessness last year through mobile clinics and street-medicine teams and said St. John’s expects to increase that number this year.

Councilmembers and other speakers praised St. John’s for running programs they said address the root causes of poor health — including mental-health and substance-use treatment, housing navigation and workforce support — and for partnering with local offices on vaccination and disaster response during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Councilmember Price and others emphasized the nonprofit’s community role during emergencies, noting the organization’s recent work on a community resilience center that will provide emergency shelter and programming. St. John’s staff also discussed their efforts to preserve programs targeted to historically marginalized groups after proposed federal funding cuts, saying they had defended programs in court when needed.

Councilmembers concluded the presentation by thanking St. John’s staff and patients for their work and service to South Los Angeles and neighboring communities.","Los Angeles City Council recognized St. John’s Community Health for six decades of service to South Los Angeles and neighboring communities, spotlighting mobile clinics, street medicine, Black maternal health work and programs serving transgender patients and people experiencing homelessness.","actionData","errors"]
