SAVE THE DATE for the 2021 Tauber/Fainer, MD Awards Celebration!
The 28th Annual Leo Tauber, MD & David Fainer, MD Awards will be held on Sunday, October 17, 2021, at Rancho Santa Clara del Norte (the Lloyd-Butler Ranch). The event will recognize outstanding community contributions by those directly involved in the delivery of health care in Ventura County who, through professional, charitable, and public service activities, have demonstrated they exemplify Dr. Tauber and Dr. Fainer's ideals of generosity, excellence, and integrity.
We want to thank our supportive sponsors and donors who continue to provide funds to help us carry out our mission "To improve, in partnership with others, access to needed health care for the most vulnerable and underserved residents of Ventura County.” We could not put on this event without you!
The late Leo Tauber, MD and David Fainer, MD, served as role models and mentors to many in the medical community. Exemplary and empathetic professionals, Dr. Fainer and Dr. Tauber were known for their motto, “The secret of care of the patient is caring for the patient.” The event is always a huge success. The funds VCMRF raises touch many lives, and help support underserved children and families throughout Ventura County obtain access to health care services and programs, including dental and vision care services for vulnerable, low-income children and seniors in pain, and homeless outreach for those less fortunate.
