An actress, recording artist, producer, fashion designer, author, entrepreneur and humanitarian, Lopez's passion and commitment to making a difference in the world is also highlighted through her work with children via The Lopez Family Foundation, a not-for-profit organization she founded with her sister, Lynda, to improve the health and well-being of women and children around the world through health education and increasing the quality of medical care available to them. The organization, in partnership with Children's Hospital Los Angeles, opened its first telemedicine center in Puerto Rico in 2010 and seven new centers in Panama since. The foundation also recently opened the Center for a Healthy Childhood in the Bronx, New York, in partnership with the Montefiore Medical Center, which aims to promote healthy eating, exercise and improve outcomes and access to care for women, children, and families. Additionally, Lopez has a longstanding and supportive relationship with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. As a young teen, Lopez was an early member of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club’s Performing Arts Program where she honed her performance skills. She now serves as a National Spokesperson for the organization alongside Denzel Washington.
