Community Physician: Timothy Horita, MD
                            Dr. Timothy Horita’s career in Medicine began at age 6,
                            after a car accident requiring surgery exposed him to what
                            seemed like a mysterious world where lives were saved. It
                            was clear to him, at that time, that he wanted to become a
                            doctor.
                               After graduating from UC Davis, Dr. Horita studied at
                            Dartmouth Medical School finishing with honors and as
                            a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. He
was fortunate to do his residency in Family Medicine at the Kaiser Woodland Hills
program. He graduated as chief resident and was hired on as faculty. A few years
later he was appointed assistant program director, and later Program Director. When
he learned that Kaiser was opening a new clinic in Oxnard, he jumped at the chance.
Oxnard is very similar to his hometown, Vacaville, California: a small working-class
agricultural city. He still enjoys teaching residents and medical students and holds
an Assistant Clinical Professor appointment at the David Geffen School of Medicine
at UCLA. In 2018, he was awarded the title of Fellow of the American Academy of
Family Physicians. He continues to volunteer at the Westminster Free Clinic, as
he has for the past 23 years, as he feels that providing care to the under-served and
undocumented members of our community is one of the most important things he
can do with his time and training. Although he has enjoyed medical writing and
publication, much of his free time now is spent on family.

                          Nurse: Shari Gerber, RN
                          Shari Gerber is a registered nurse who’s worked for Assisted
                          Home Health & Hospice in Ventura, as a Hospice RN for
                          13 years. She started her career as a certified nurse’s aide at
                          Community Memorial Hospital in 1998 and while there,
                          pursued her RN license. Once she graduated to an RN
                          position, she worked the oncology unit for seven years. Via
                          UCLA, she became chemotherapy certified and administered
                          chemotherapy to cancer patients on the 6th floor. Shari acted
                          as an intermittent charge nurse and mentored numerous
nurses from Ventura College while at CMH. When the hospital wanted to create a
Palliative Care team, Shari was right there. She attended many lectures, taught fellow
clinicians & patients about this new Palliative Care Program. After 10 years at CMH,
in 2009, Shari transitioned to hospice nursing with Assisted. She continues to educate
& train Assisted’s newly hired nurses and those who are currently attending Ventura
College to become a nurse. In addition to mentoring her peers, Shari’s gift is the
connection she has with patients & families. Her sincere authenticity bonds her for life
to those she touches. To watch Shari in action is like watching a genius solve a math
equation, hearing a singer hit every note or like witnessing an artist paint a masterpiece.
Shari provides love & support during a time that some cannot bear. The best part is she
loves her job.

James Ormonde Lloyd-Butler (1925-2022)

                                                          James Ormonde Lloyd-Butler,
                                                          one of the state’s last “Californios”
                                                          was born in 1925 in Oxnard at St.
                                                          John’s Hospital and died at home,
                                                          at Rancho Santa Clara del Norte
                                                          where he raised his family, sought his
                                                          livelihood and lived the majority of
                                                          his 96 years.

                                                           After graduating from Santa Clara
                                                           High School in Oxnard, Jim joined
                                                           the Navy in 1943 as a private, serving
                                                           on the USS Hector. In 1956, he
                                                           married Cynthia Dolores Marsh
                          who became the love of his life for nearly 60 years. In 1978, Jim and
                          Cynthia moved to the ranch, which he lovingly managed for the next
                          44 years.
                          Jim was especially devoted to the men and women who helped him
                          develop and execute his goals and dreams for the ranch. First were
                          his two brothers, Shane and Pat and their families who supported
                          his vision and his dream for the property. Equally important was the
                          team of men and women who helped him execute his vision, manage
                          the ranch’s staff and operations as well as its 200-year adobe house
                          and grounds, including brothers Arturo, José and Ramiro Romo and
                          Lupe Torres.
                          Jim was predeceased in life by Cynthia, his beloved wife of 59
                          years. He was also predeceased by his cherished daughter Camilla
                          Lloyd-Butler Shafer, who succumbed to cancer in 2018. Jim is sur-
                          vived by his son Thomas and by four grandsons and one great-grand-
                          son. Jim also leaves behind his beloved German shepherd dog, King,
                          who will be well-loved and cared for.

Together We Make A Difference
The Children’s
Resource
Program (CRP)
bean 38 years
ago with a
simple concept,
children should
not live in
pain. The CRP
provides free,
irreplaceable
wellness to
ensure access and treatment to oral health and vision care services
in every city throughout Ventura County. Even with insurance and
public programs, there are over 100,000 children who need basic
                                          dental education and
                                          exams.

                                            Working families that
                                            are already struggling
                                            to meet Ventura
                                            County’s high costs
                                            of living, are forced
                                            to watch helplessly,
as their children suffer, because they cannot afford to pay for the
treatment. Even children whose family income qualifies them for
Medi-Cal, have unmet dental and vision needs because of the high
fees and deductibles. Additionally, we are now providing treatment
for low-income, vulnerable seniors.

We thank you for being here tonight and supporting VCMRF,
by helping us to provide access to care for the families in our
community who need it the most. Please use the blue cards at your
table to donate to these vital programs.
