Recuperative Care Center (RCC), a joint effort of National Health Foundation and Illumination Foundation, is pleased to announce the grand opening of the San Gabriel Valley site.

HASC members are cordially invited to the Open House on Oct. 22 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Site tours will be given every 30 minutes, and light refreshments will be provided. This day is especially geared for area hospitals’ discharge planners, case managers, social workers and clinicians. Come meet the staff and learn more about the referral process and service delivery planned for the San Gabriel Valley area’s homeless.

Thanks to joint efforts by Methodist Hospital Foundation and the San Gabriel Valley Coalition partners, this expansion to a third site addresses the need for recuperative care in this region.  Over the last three years, Los Angeles and Orange County area hospitals have used RCC services, resulting in 43 percent of patients being connected to housing options and an estimated savings of more than $12 million to hospitals.

Recuperative Care Center of San Gabriel Valley is open to serve those patients who are too sick for a shelter but not sick enough to remain hospitalized. The location is now accepting San Gabriel Valley patient referrals from participating hospitals. It is located at: Illumination Foundation, 830 Puente Ave., La Puente, CA 91746 (cross street Puente Ave. and Amar Rd.)
