14 Given the ever-growing need for organized relief efforts in response to natural disasters and health crises, The Doctors Company’s Community Relations team allocates a portion of its budget for humanitarian relief and aid each year. Above and beyond matching any employee donations, and in addition to our other corporate gifts, we provide corporate contributions to U.S.-based 501(c)(3) relief organizations responding to communities affected by crisis. Over the last decade, we have supported numerous programs responding to wildfires, flooding, hurricanes, and the COVID-19 pandemic, among others. In 2025, The Doctors Company contributed to the following organizations responding to the Southern California wildfires in January and the Central Texas flooding in July. Over three weeks in January 2025, destructive wildfires affected the Los Angeles metropolitan area. These killed at least 31 people, forced more than 200,000 to evacuate, destroyed more than 18,000 homes and structures, and burned more than 57,529 acres of land, making them some of the most destructive fires in California history. The Doctors Company donated to five organizations addressing relief efforts. Physicians for a Healthy California (PHC) launched several programs to support affected physicians and their patients. PHC launched a disaster relief fund for reestablishing delivery of medical care in affected areas by providing financial assistance to restore operationality to medical practices impacted by the wildfires, even as they worked to ease regulatory burdens on the physicians and their patients. PHC also published a guide for patients and physicians on patient rights under state law, addressing requirements for health plans and insurers to act quickly to ensure patients’ continued access to care. The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank worked with government agencies, nonprofits, faithbased partners, and others to ensure affected individuals and families had access to nutritious food and essential supplies and to support longterm recovery and resilience-building efforts. World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team provided more than 400,000 meals to first responders and displaced families during its response. It established multiple sites in the hardest-hit areas, coordinated with and funded more than 70 local restaurant and food truck partners to cook and hand out meals, and organized 350 local volunteers to help distribute meals. California Community Foundation raised over $30 million to support more than 200 nonprofit organizations delivering vital services and Southern California Wildfires HUMANITARIAN RELIEF WHEN AND WHERE DISASTER STRIKES
