15 In early July 2025, floods devastated communities across Central Texas, with intense rain causing the Guadalupe River to rise 26 feet in 45 minutes. Six Flash Flood Emergencies were issued the same day. At least 139 people were killed, including 117 in Kerr County alone. The Doctors Company donated to two organizations’ disaster relief efforts addressing immediate and long-term needs. World Central Kitchen mobilized on the day of the flooding to deliver meals to affected families and first responders across the region. Before evacuations, they also delivered meals at area summer camps to children, staff members, and rescue crews. The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country created its Kerr County Flood Relief Fund to support recovery efforts through grants to dozens of local nonprofit organizations. These grants included support for temporary housing, rental and down payment assistance, home repair and reconstruction, case management, and grief support for those displaced by the floods. Central Texas Flooding essential aid to Los Angeles’s most vulnerable residents—including renters, seniors, children, people with disabilities, and displaced workers— offering direct cash assistance, legal aid, housing support, food assistance, and more. The Pasadena Community Foundation, through its Eaton Fire Relief and Recovery Fund and its Altadena Builds Back Foundation, delivered more than $24 million to community-based nonprofit agencies to accelerate recovery across Altadena, Pasadena, and Sierra Madre after the devastating Eaton Fire. This funding provided rapid cash assistance, essential services, emergency housing and childcare, case management services, mental health and emergency aid, and much more to thousands of residents affected by the fire. Thanks to donors like The Doctors Company, the PHC Wildfire Relief Fund was able to deliver urgent support to organizations such as AltaMed. One of the largest nonprofit federally qualified health centers in the U.S., AltaMed offers primary, dental, and specialty care, as well as other services to medically underserved communities in Los Angeles and Orange counties. Its physicians were on the front lines of providing care to families and communities affected by the crisis, and their practices faced the overwhelming challenges of not only delivering essential services to these community members but addressing the health-related challenges related to displacement, housing, financial stress, and more. Most critically, these funds have directly supported physicians and their practices as they face the enormous increase in the behavioral health needs of fire victims, as well as the significant healthcare access struggles of senior citizens. We thank The Doctors Company for their support of physicians and the communities they serve.” Lupe Alonzo-Diaz, MBA, MPA President and Chief Executive Officer Physicians for a Healthy California “
