SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Dawn Addis (D-Morro Bay) announced today that the California State Assembly is recognizing the Big Sur Health Center as the 2023 "Nonprofit of the Year" for Assembly District 30.
The Big Sur Health Center, founded in September 1979, serves as the only medical facility between the Monterey Peninsula and Cambria that is able to provide quality comprehensive healthcare services to the residents of the Big Sur coast.
"I'm thrilled to recognize the important work of the Big Sur Health Center as the Assembly District 30 Non-Profit of the Year," Addis said. "This outstanding organization has faithfully served the Big Sur community for decades, and during the intense atmospheric storms this past winter, it provided much-needed services to patients regardless of their ability to pay. I am proud to celebrate the vital work of this community non-profit on the Central Coast."
