CHA’s Hospital Workers’ Fire Relief Fund continues to accept donations to aid Southern California hospital workers impacted by December’s devastating wildfires.

 A reported dozen employees at Ventura County Medical Center lost homes, or were otherwise directly impacted by the Thomas Fire. That’s in addition to more than 330 workers made jobless by the destruction of Aurora Vista del Mar Hospital from the same blaze. Because formal, comprehensive data on workers impacted by fires does not exist, the total number of affected employees is likely higher.

Established in October, the fund originally supported over 300 hospital workers in Northern California who lost homes in that region’s wildfires last fall. HASC President/CEO George W. Greene worked with CHA to reactivate the fund to also help Southern California hospital-worker victims as fires consumed portions of Ventura, Los Angeles and San Diego counties.
