CORONA, Calif., Aug. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dr. Kali P. Chaudhuri, Founder and Chairman of the KPC Group and KPC Health, was recently presented with the “Above and Beyond” award from the Southern California based non-profit, Crime Survivors. Crime Survivors’ mission is to provide hope and healing to victims and survivors of crime through advocacy and the support of resources, information, and empowerment from the critical time after a crime occurs, through the challenges and successes of surviving and thriving.
In April of 2018, Dr. Chaudhuri and KPC Health generously provided space to establish the first Crime Survivors Resource Center in Southern California. The resource center is located adjacent to Orange County Global Medical Center and Regional Trauma Center in the KPC Health corporate office building and is a place where survivors of crime can find the support and resources they need. The award was given to Dr. Chaudhuri in recognition of this contribution.
The award was presented at Crime Survivors’ annual Hope Gratitude Gala on Friday, August 2nd, which was co-chaired by Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer and Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes, and featured veteran and international hero, Spencer Stone, as the keynote speaker.
“We are extremely grateful to Dr. Chaudhuri and KPC Health for their generous support for the Crime Survivors organization,” said Patricia Wenskunas, Founder and CEO of Crime Survivors. “Having a brick and mortar Southern California Resource Center better enables us to provide critical support services to survivors of crime and is a major milestone for our organization.”
“KPC Health is proud to support such an incredible organization that provides a voice for the voiceless and does so much good work for our community,” said Dr. Kali P. Chaudhuri, Founder and Chairman of the KPC Group and KPC Health. “Patricia Wenskunas is a selfless person that is committed to an important cause, and we look forward to supporting her and Crime Survivors in their future endeavors.”
“Dr. Chaudhuri understands that providing quality healthcare is about more than simply treating a patient when they are sick or injured,” said Peter Baronoff, CEO of KPC Health. “It also requires a commitment to, and investment in, the communities we serve. Dr. Chaudhuri’s work with Crime Survivors is a perfect demonstration of his passion for helping others, especially the truly vulnerable in our society.”
KPC Health owns and operates a group of integrated healthcare delivery systems consisting of acute care hospitals, Independent Physician Associations, medical groups, and various fully integrated multi-specialty medical facilities. KPC Health’s current system of hospitals includes seven full-service acute care hospitals located throughout southern California. In addition, KPC Health recently received court approval to acquire four California hospitals, and seven long-term acute care hospitals and two skilled nursing facilities located in Kansas, Utah, Mississippi, Arizona, Louisiana, and Texas. Once finalized, these acquisitions will bring KPC Health’s integrated healthcare system to 20 facilities nationally.
Dr. Sumanta Chaudhuri, KPC health’s chief medical officer, joined ABC7 via Skype to discuss jobs in healthcare.

“This is a perfect time if you’re thinking about a career change to jump into the health care industry because there’s such a need,” said Chaudhuri. “There’s positions in the clinical side, as well as the non-clinical side. And if somebody has no experience in non-clinical side, KPC Health loves to partner with people and promote education within the employee ranks so people can rise. If they have a desire to eventually become clinical, we would love that. If they want to stay on the administrative side, there is support for that as well.”

The ownership group of Menifee Valley Medical Center was honored in a “Business Spotlight” at the Menifee City Council meeting on Wednesday, with the CEO announcing big plans for expansion of the facility’s health care services.
Peter Baronoff, CEO and Managing Director of KPC Health Global Medical Centers, told council members and guests that the facility on McCall Boulevard — led by a new executive staff and to be rebranded as Menifee Global Medical Center — “will be a resource for the whole community.”
In doing that, Baronoff said his company will open a 7,000-square-foot annex in the Haun Medical Office building, providing expanded services to residents with a group of neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other medical professionals. A Grand Opening of that facility is being planned, and free flu shots will be given next door at City Hall.
Then on Dec, 6, the medical center on McCall Boulevard will officially be renamed in a program that will include a health fair and health screenings for guests.
KPC Global already is providing quality health care and education of professionals at the Hemet Valley Medical Center, which is part of the company’s Physicians for Healthy Hospitals coalition. Baronoff plans to expand the company’s services as teaching hospitals, however, and he announced Wednesday plans to establish a medical school in Southern California.
He also announced that Menifee is one of three cities he is looking at for the facility. If it is built here, Baronoff said, the facility would have a “significant economic impact” on the community, employing about 400 people.
MENIFEE – The Menifee Global Medical Center was honored during the Oct. 2 city council meeting by Menifee’s Economic Development Department as the Business Spotlight for October. The community hospital, part of the KPC Health hospital system, has invested more than $2.5 million into its Menifee location in recent years.
“Menifee Global Medical Center is truly your hospital in the community,” Peter Baronoff, CEO of KPC Healthy System CEO, said.
He also announced that KPC Health is looking to add a medical school in Southern California in the future and has identified Menifee as one of three finalists for a potential location for the school.
“Medical schools bring a variety of important needs to a community,” Baranoff said. “The economic benefit is amazingly substantial.”
He also highlighted the community health benefits of potentially bringing highly trained medical professionals to the city.
“Menifee Global Medical Center/KPC Health is truly a valued city partner,” Gina Gonzalez, director of economic development, said. “Through continued job creation, economic investment in Menifee and the consistent delivery of quality health care, the hospital has remained consistent in its dedication to helping Menifee and its residents thrive.”
