Catherine Arambula is a financial advisor at Northwestern
Mutual, and understands the importance of access to care
and the devastating financial impact ill health can have on a
family. This year she came forward to volunteer to create the
Philanthropy Leadership Council to align local philanthropically
inclined individuals and corporations with the mission of San
Ysidro Health. “When I saw the scope of services San Ysidro
Health provided throughout San Diego and understood the
need for continuous funding, it just made sense!”
These four women have become empowered to make a
difference in the health of our community. They have committed
to the mission of San Ysidro Health. If you would like to join
them, please contact [email protected].

W
omen made it happen. San Ysidro Health
was founded by seven women to ensure
healthcare for their community nearly 50
years ago. Today women are still making
it happen. Luz Elena Gomez and her
daughters, Kimberly and Yocelyn Gomez were this year’s Legacy
Chairs and Catherine M. Arambula led the Philanthropy Leadership
Council to raise funds at Monte Carlo: A Night to Remember - a
gala effort to support excellent health services to all.
Luz Elena and her daughters, Kimberly & Yocelyn, have a long
history of service to San Ysidro Health. When they began to
volunteer in 2015 they were astounded by the need in the
community for healthcare and amazed by the extraordinary efforts
made at San Ysidro Health to provide the care. It steeled their
resolve to make a difference. Each year they give their time, talent
and treasure to bring more support to San Ysidro Health, and this
year was exceptional. As Legacy Chairs they made themselves
available to the media and to the organization, helping to raise over
$500,000 through the gala to support programs and services.
