Welcome Julie Henszey

The Free Clinic welcomes Julie Henszey on board as a new Director of Development. Julie is the first person to fill this newly-created role. She brings experience with fundraising from groups such as Oxnard-based Friends of Fieldworkers, as well as Marquette University in Wisconsin. The Free Clinic has created the role to best position itself for future support from the surrounding community.

"I am excited to be here. The Free Clinic of Simi Valley is an anchor in the Simi Valley community and provides vital services to children and families who are uninsured or underinsured. I can't think of a better fit between my values and the Clinic's service model."

Julie grew up in the Midwest and moved to Ventura in the fall of 2019. Her resume includes working with frontline communities to control pollution exposure and advocating for more individuals at the leadership table who represent communities disproportionately impacted by climate change.

Fred Bauermeister, Executive Director of the Free Clinic, said that he is excited to work with Julie as she "brings experience, excitement, and enthusiasm to insure the future of our programs and services."
