These services include emergency room follow-up care, physicals, immunizations, oral healthcare and referrals to specialty providers.
“We are very thankful to Supervisor Kathryn Barger and the partnership we have with Child & Family Center to have been granted these funds that will allow us to provide critical care to the survivors of domestic violence,” said Philip Solomon, CEO. “We want to do our part and support these individuals and families as they take the brave steps forward to a safer and better life.”

SDFHC is the only non-profit health center founded and based in the Santa Clarita Valley and is governed by a local board of directors.
“Providing a safe and trusted space for survivors of domestic violence to receive medical services is crucial to our clients,” said Nikki Buckstead, CEO of the Child & Family Center. “Our ongoing partnership and collaboration with Samuel Dixon is a treasured relationship and we are grateful to Supervisor Barger’s office for allocating this funding.”
