LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER & OUR CEO

It is my personal and distinct pleasure to welcome you to St. Anthony Medical Centers, [SAMC] the home of thousands of patients whom I have been personally servicing in Los Angeles County over the last 21 years.

Since my start in 1986, I have been accepting Medi-Cal patients. In return, I have established a personal relationship with what is now the 4th generation of original patients. The personal satisfaction of hearing a patients appreciative words and/or seeing the smiles on their faces – makes this daily struggle worthwhile.

Over this period, and now in my current role as Chief Executive Officer of SAMC, I have overseen the care of thousands of medical issues. Similarly, my wife, Gihan Anthony, DDS, in her role as our Dental Director/ provider, has overseen thousands of dental procedures during her eleven year tenure.

As an immigrant myself, and part of the minority-class, it has been my privilege to work with the poor and needy, which constitutes the vast majority of our patients at SAMC.

In addition to overseeing our clinical model of care, I enjoy guiding, advising and teaching our team at SAMC on how to approach our patients with the SAMC philosophy of honesty, compassion, with personal regard, and the highest medical standards. It is with this same approach that I personally screen our providers. I only select those who share the philosophy of our mission.

We at SAMC appreciate both the federal and state partnership programs which allow us to succeed in our mission.

Warm regards,

Awad Anthony, MD
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
