The WHNC Beautification Committee with help from the UCLA West Valley Medical Center and other community volunteers had a very successful cleanup on Medical Center Drive-more than 75 bags were filled with trimmings and debris!  Chief Operating Officer, Dave Morgan, shared with us:  "We value our partnership with the West Hills Neighborhood Council and were proud to join in the cleanup of Medical Center Drive, working together to keep our community clean and welcoming."
