But this fits perfectly with Elica\u2019s mission.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Decades ago, Bak co-founded the J Street Clinic with Dr. Alexander Yanushkovsky, a fellow USSR immigrant, in downtown Sacramento. At first, it was created specifically to treat the area\u2019s growing population of recently arrived (and impoverished) Russians, free of charge. That evolved into taking care of anyone with medical needs but lacking the insurance or means to pay, and grew into adding a focus on the homeless\u2014as well as the subsequent addition of veterinary services, since Bak says that 25 percent of the area\u2019s homeless own pets. (Almost all of them also have cellphones.)<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/goldmanstate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Tatyana-Bok.jpg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.8&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; border_width_all=&#8221;1px&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset3&#8243; title_text=&#8221;Tatyana Bok&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.8&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-16px||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>T<span>atyana Bak<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.8&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the practice endured some management upheavals, including Bak\u2019s own departure for health reasons\u2014she was chief operating officer at the time\u2014then her return three years ago as chief executive officer.
