Dear Friends and Colleagues, As the end of my first year as vice chancellor and dean approaches, it is my great pleasure to share with you this report of our UC Davis Health System achievements over the past 12 months. The past year witnessed the establishment of important partnerships, the strengthening of existing collaborations and the development of several innovative programs that advance our mission to “discover and share knowledge to advance health” through education, research, patient services and community engagement. It was a year that demonstrated just how much we at UC Davis believe in “team learning, team research and team clinical care” and how our team is making exciting contributions to health every day. The year 2005 began with the health system community joining together to develop a new strategic plan that integrates and aligns the respective goals of the School of Medicine, the hospital and clinics, and the faculty physician group into one clear, unified vision for our future. The plan was approved by the faculty senate in February 2005, and guides our efforts as we move forward into 2006. In 2005, our outstanding faculty successfully competed for many research grants, helping to boost extramural funding for the School of

Medicine to more than $114 million annually. To list but three examples: UC Davis Cancer Center was awarded $14 million in research support as part of its five-year National Cancer Institute designation renewal; the PECARN program to optimize emergency pediatric services was awarded again to UC Davis; and a new BIRCWH grant was awarded to UC Davis to support basic and clinical researchers in women’s health. The breadth and success enjoyed by the researchers at UC Davis is a source of pride for the entire team. To ensure our continued success in this area, UC Davis Health System in 2005 markedly strengthened its infrastructure to support translational research – the bench-to-bedside work that directly enhances people’s health and quality of life. Two new developments deserve special mention: the Clinical Research Investigator Services Program (CRISP), and the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC). CRISP provides faculty, staff and trainees with “one-stop shopping” support to facilitate clinical and translational research, including access to a team of grant preparation and management experts. The GCRC, a joint program of UC Davis and the Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System, provides a specialized venue for clinical

research trials dedicated to supporting the comfort and safety of study par- ticipants. Our campus has emerged as a leader in translational research, bringing hope for new therapies to patients in our local community and around the globe. Educational innovation is a hallmark of UC Davis School of Medicine. In 2005, we invested heavily in new educational technologies such as Web-based learning, computerized support of decision-making and an extensive telemedicine program with more than 80 tele-learning sites throughout California. We created an entire ‘virtual hospital’ where trainees can practice emergency resuscitation, cardiac catheterizations, and even robotic surgery, all on sophisticated simulators. We inaugurated special study modules that integrate basic science and clinical experiences in fourth-year electives. And as I write this, we are completing the second year of our new “college” system, in which students are assigned to one of four “college” homes to provide increased faculty mentoring and peer support. In 2005, our Masters of Public Health program was successfully accredited. Our MD-PhD training program was expanded and will train

future researchers and academicians. The medical and surgical residency and fellowship programs at UC Davis are highly ranked, attracting highquality young physicians to our region to complete their training. Together these initiatives ensure that UC Davis medical students and postgraduate trainees will have the skills they need to pursue the career path of their choice and become leaders in American medicine. And UC Davis will support their life-long learning through our outstanding continuing medical education program that serves physicians throughout California and beyond. In the area of patient care, we took important steps this past year to ensure our continued excellence. Our investment in an electronic medical record will pay dividends in increased patient safety for many years to come. We are already seeing results from our hospital-wide “patient flow” initiative: patients are being admitted, transferred and discharged more smoothly and in a more timely manner than before, to the benefit of both provider efficiency and patient satisfaction. Our communication training programs help all members of the health care team work together to enhance the quality and safety of

U C D AVIS HEALTH S Y STE M

patient care services throughout our hospital and clinics. And a new chronic disease management program is defining better ways for patients and providers to work together to improve patients’ quality of life. This past year, UC Davis Health System also prioritized as never before the reduction of the disparities that characterize health and health care in America today. The student-run clinics are a source of special pride to us. These volunteer centers provide needed medical care to many of the region’s most underserved communities. In addition, the health system has reached out to underserved rural communities through partnerships that provide both important learning opportunities for our students and high-quality care for patients in remote areas of California. We created the Center for Reducing Health Disparities to address these critical challenges and established a fund to support faculty who advance our diversity mission. These collective efforts were recognized and honored by the American Association of Medical Colleges this year when UC Davis was chosen as the recipient of the national Outstanding Community Service Award. This honor is bestowed to an “institution with a longstanding, major commitment to addressing community needs through exceptional programs that go well beyond the traditional service role of

academic medicine and reach communities whose needs are not being met by the health-care system.” Our progress in 2005 can also be seen in bricks and mortar. The recently completed Genome and Biomedical Sciences Building on the Davis campus is already a hub for cutting-edge, basic-science research. At the Sacramento campus, work continues on the 470,000-square-foot Surgical and Emergency Services Pavilion, which will house a state-of-the-art emergency room complex, a burn unit and a new suite of operating rooms. Construction is well underway for our new Center for Education and Blaisdell Medical Library, which will open in the fall of 2006 to unite all four years of medical school training in Sacramento. The new Imaging Research Center provides our research scientists opportunities to push the boundaries of biomedical imaging. Also this year, the Oak Park Research Building opened its Stockton Boulevard doors and a new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the medical center has filled with infants in need of specialized care. This sustained construction is fueling a renaissance in the Oak Park neighborhood surrounding the Sacramento campus, benefiting our region economically while also meeting our institutional needs for growth. We are now truly a multi-site campus, with facilities in Sacramento and Davis, as well as our regional system of primary-care clinics. Financially, UC Davis Health System has maintained a stable bottom line at a time when many academic medical centers are battling red ink. Yet, the challenges ahead are significant. Like other academic medical centers, we anticipate a tighter state budget and reduced clinical reimbursements for patient

D i s c o v e r i n g a n d s h a r i n g k n o w l e d g e t o a d va n c e h e a lt h

care. And, although our overall extramural research funding has increased, we cannot take continued growth in federal research dollars for granted at a time when the National Institutes of Health budget for research awards has flattened. More than ever, the success of our mission will depend on private philanthropy and the beneficence of our supporters. The success of an academic medical program is defined by the greatness of its people. To our talented faculty, our skilled staff, our outstanding students and residents and our highly valued alumni and community partners, I express heart-felt gratitude for all your contributions. Your passion and dedication lead us toward our vision of better health for all. UC Davis Health System is a community and national treasure, an institution committed to our guiding principles of excellence in scholarship, strategic thinking, quality, compassion, justice, equity, diversity and innovation. I invite you to join me to celebrate the successes reviewed in this annual report and to work together to propel this bold young institution further ahead as an internationally recognized leader in defining medicine and health care for the future. Sincerely,

C l a i r e P o m e r o y , M.D., M.B.A. UC Davis Vice Chancellor for Human Health Sciences Dean, School of Medicine

$6.5 million grant aims to reduce cancer in Asian Americans

UC Davis Cancer Center received $6.5 million from the National Cancer Institute to continue leading a nationwide effort aimed at reducing cancer in Asian Americans. The effort is led by Moon S. Chen, Jr., associate director for Cancer Disparities and Research at UC Davis Cancer Center. U.S. Rep. Doris Matsui announced the grant at a June 2005 press conference. “The cancer death rate among Asian Americans is rising faster than for any other ethnic group in the United States. We can prevent thousands of deaths if we can identify and overcome the barriers that prevent many Asian Americans from talking about cancer, getting screened for cancer and taking measures to protect themselves from cancer,” Matsui said. The new grant extends the Asian American Network for

Ovarian cancer: Not so silent after all?

A UC Davis study found that four in 10 women with ovarian cancer have symptoms that they tell their doctors about at least four months – and as long as one year – before they are diagnosed. The study appeared in Cancer, a journal of the American Cancer Society. “Our findings suggest that ovarian cancer could be diagnosed earlier in some patients,” said Lloyd Smith, professor and chair of obstetrics and gynecology and lead author of the study. Smith and his colleagues found that only 25 percent of the ovarian cancer patients who reported symptoms four or more months before their cancer was diagnosed had diagnostic pelvic imaging or CA-125 blood tests. Instead, most of the ovarian cancer patients who reported early symptoms received abdominal imaging or diagnostic gastrointestinal studies, which are less likely to detect ovarian cancer. Smith recommended that if a routine medical workup finds no cause for possible ovarian cancer symptoms, physicians should turn next to diagnostic pelvic imaging or CA-125 blood tests. n

The studies found that while hospitals are doing a better job, there are geographic discrepancies in the quality of care provided at hospitals around the country, with hospitals in the Northeast and the Midwest, and not-for-profit and teaching hospitals doing a slightly better job than the rest. The editorial said it’s not clear how much effect improvements in patient care have had on public health. “Hospitals are now more likely to give aspirin and beta blockers to heart attack patients, to evaluate heart failure patients appropriately, to provide complete instructions when patients go home, and to counsel smokers to quit,” said Romano, a UC Davis internal medicine and pediatrics professor. “But we do not yet have evidence that these improvements are reducing morbidity and mortality from heart disease, heart failure and pneumonia.” n Drug advertising profoundly affects doctors’ prescribing patterns

requests can dramatically influence physicians’ prescribing patterns. “The short message for patients is to be careful of what you ask for, because you probably will get it,” said Richard Kravitz, the study’s lead author and director of the Center for Health Services Research in Primary Care. “That could be a good thing for those who really need medication, but it could be a bad thing for those who might benefit from other equally effective and possibly safer options, such as watchful waiting and non-drug therapies.” The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. n Protein linked to heart disease

Evidence is mounting that C-reactive protein (CRP), a substance long linked to inflammatory conditions, may be a key player in heart disease. School of Medicine researchers Ishwarlal Jialal and Sridevi Devaraj found several independent effects of CRP that can lead to heart disease, including promoting plaque build-up by increasing white blood cell binding to blood vessel walls and stimulating the release of other adhesion molecules. Jialal’s research recently provided a novel twist: While CRP was thought to be produced mainly in the liver, he found that the cells in the artery wall also produce CRP, potentially contributing to plaque. Until their landmark studies, CRP was recognized mainly as a risk marker of heart disease rather than a direct participant in its pathogenesis. “CRP is not

Naturally occurring asbestos linked to lung cancer

Everyday exposure to naturally occurring asbestos increases the risk of developing malignant mesothelioma, according to a study by UC Davis researchers published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. Exposure to asbestos in the workplace has long been recognized as a risk factor for mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer affecting the lining of the lung. But researchers found a consistent and dose-dependent association between mesothelioma and residential proximity to ultramafic rock, the predominant source of naturally occurring asbestos. “This study provides important supportive evidence that naturally occurring asbestos causes mesothelioma – and public efforts should now shift to understanding the risk and how we can protect people from this preventable malignancy,” said Marc Schenker, professor and chair of public health sciences and the study’s senior author. n

S T E M - C E L L R E S E A R C H : MEETING CHALLENGES, L E A D I N G T H E WAY WHOLE-ORGAN TRANSPLANTS MAY ONE DAY BE OBSOLETE, THANKS TO STEM-CELL STUDIES BY UC DAVIS RESEARCHERS.

With a $6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, UC Davis has established a new center to study stem-cell therapies for the treatment of childhood diseases. The Center for Pediatric Stem/Progenitor Cell Translational Research brings together investigators from institutions throughout the United States and Canada. The center is one of two new national stem-cell “Centers of Excellence” funded by the NIH. With its new pediatric center, plus ongoing stem-cell research in other areas, UC Davis is playing a key role in the quest to fulfill the promise of these tiny, omnipotent cells.

Another important feature of the center is a program that will provide opportunities for investigators nationwide to expand their expertise and enhance collaborations. The center also will develop a mechanism for shared resources and databases, and include core laboratories and an educational program with scientific seminars, workshops, training and an annual retreat. “Our goal is to create an environment where cross- and multidisci-

plinary collaborations can flourish and lead to new cutting-edge technologies and therapies for diseases that affect children, from blood cell disorders to kidney disease,” said Tarantal. “We are focused on discovery and bringing new findings from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside.” That effort was further enhanced recently when California’s Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) selected UC Davis for one of 15 new “training grants.” These grants are designed to expand California’s pool of stem cell scientists. UC Davis’ $2.6 million, three-year grant will fund training for a dozen pre- and post-doctoral students and clinical fellows in stem-cell science and associated ethical, legal and social implications of such investigations. “Our training program is all about bringing together some of our most talented young scientists with some of our most dedicated and experienced faculty,” said Fred Meyers, senior associate dean for academic affairs and chair of the Department of Internal Medicine. “This grant will enhance the important work already under way here and add to the potential for breakthrough

discoveries in regenerative medicine and stem-cell therapy.” Making organ transplants obsolete For physician Mark Zern, it was the death of a 33-year-old patient that prompted his research focus on stem cells. The patient, a young husband and father, died of hepatitis C while awaiting a donated liver for transplant. “I think of that man when people ask me why I do what I do,” Zern said. “It is terribly unfortunate that, because of a shortage of organs available for transplant, he died so young, leaving behind his two young children.” Some 100,000 people need new livers in the United States today, but only about 5,000 will receive liver transplants this year because of the shortage of organs. “There are not nearly enough livers to go around for the people who need them,” said Zern, Anderson Endowed Chair in Transplant Research and director of UC Davis’ transplant research program in Sacramento. And that’s why he’s devoted his career to exploring options that one day could make liver transplants obsolete.

anyone who needs them,” said Zern. “Clearly, my goal in this research is to design therapies that could be easier and more effective than the traditional, whole organ transplants of today.” Zern also is studying the potential for using stem cells to create a liver dialysis system that could act as an artificial liver and is exploring the development of bio-artificial organs. Building Private Support Such investigations require enormous funding. Zern’s work is possible thanks in part to the generosity of Sacramento philanthropist Pat Anderson. The widow of the late Fred Anderson, founder of Sacra- mento-based Pacific Coast Building Products Inc., she established the Fred and Pat Anderson Endowed Chair in Transplant Research with a

At UC Davis, endowed chairs provide support in perpetuity for particular areas of teaching and research. The chair holder is furnished with income for special teaching, research and service activities. Anderson’s decision to support Zern’s research efforts was a personal one. Her adult son, Jim, waited two years for a liver donation to finally become available. “I don’t want other families to go through what our family went through,” she said. “Research holds the best promise for successfully treating those in need of a transplant.” n

For the 117 women participating in the three-year study, Van Loan needed an X-ray room where the women could get periodic bone scans, a laboratory for blood tests, and a comfortable, friendly sitting area where they could fill out questionnaires, receive instructions and ask questions. The new National Institutes of Health-funded General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) fit the bill perfectly. The GCRC and another new research support effort, the Clinical Research Investigator

Services Program (CRISP), provide the tools clinical researchers need to enhance their ability to make important research contributions. A partnership between UC Davis School of Medicine and the Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System, the GCRC supports the work of dozens of investigators conducting clinical studies in areas as diverse as Alzheimer’s disease, AIDS, cancer and weight reduction. “I’m delighted with the facility,” said Van Loan, an investigator with the UC Davis Department of Nutrition and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Western Human Nutrition Research Center. “There’s simply no other place available to run a project as large as this one.”

Such a test might be possible,

Apperson believes, because of recent technological advances that allow the simultaneous analysis of the tens of thousands of effects of genes in blood samples. As a junior faculty member at UC Davis Health System, Apperson, a resident in the Department of Neurology, is committed not only to providing care to her patients, but also to acquiring the basic skills required for any research project, such as statistics, study design and grant writing.

Apperson and other young UC Davis researchers are receiving help in accelerating their research careers through a health system program that received a $1.4 million federal grant. Awarded by the National Institutes of Health, the K30 Clinical Research Curriculum Award will support the health system’s Mentored Clinical Research Training Program (MCRTP). The NIH established the K30 grant program to attract talented individuals to the challenges of clinical research

and to provide them with the critical skills needed to develop hypotheses and conduct sound research. At UC Davis Health System, the MCRTP is designed to provide junior faculty with the training and support needed to pursue successful careers in innovative, clinical research with direct applications to patient care. “The program is an excellent way to get started ‘the right way’ on the pathway to a career in clinical research,” said Apperson, a trainee in the program.

gram, I had no knowledge about how to approach research funding, study design and career planning. The program has provided the tools for me to navigate through the complexities of clinical research.” The NIH grant augments funds already provided by the health system to the MCRTP. The program consists of a formal, two-year curriculum that leads to either a certificate or a master’s degree in clinical research. Enrollees receive financial support and commitments of ample time and a flexible curriculum to complete the program. “The health system offers a rich environment for conducting clinical and translational mentored research,” said Fred Meyers, professor and chair of the Department of Internal Medicine and principal investigator for the MCRTP. “We have a large pool of prominent senior faculty members who can serve as mentors to their junior colleagues in developing careers in clinical research.” The MCRTP is designed to attract senior residents and junior faculty

committed to careers in pre-clinical/ translational and clinical research. The program is open to individuals already at UC Davis Health System and to new recruits, as well as candidates from the health system’s collaborative partnerships with the School of Veterinary Medicine, the Department of Biomedical Engineering, the Division of Biological Sciences and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The research activities available through the MCRTP are in the four areas outlined in the School of Medicine’s Strategic Plan as the school’s greatest strengths: cancer, neuroscience, infectious disease and vascular disease. These areas share three cross-cutting themes: aging research, cross-cultural research and women’s health research. Within this broad framework of focus areas and themes are high-priority research areas for the health system: membrane biology, health services, genomics and stem cell/regenerative medicine. Through the Building Inter- disciplinary Research Careers in Women’s Health (BIRCWH) program, a multidisciplinary team of senior faculty is mentoring young physicians

BEYOND THE TEXTBOOK THIS ISN’T YOUR MOTHER’S CLASSROOM: A UNIQUE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AND A NEW CURRICULUM PREPARE UC DAVIS MEDICAL STUDENTS FOR LIFELONG LEARNING.

With the advent of handheld computers, wireless Internet connections and MP3 players the size of a stick of gum, it’s no wonder medical students today look beyond the textbook and laboratory bench for an engaging educational experience. UC Davis School of Medicine has evolved its curriculum to best meet student needs. From small-group learning to patient simulators and telemedicine, the school’s program exposes students to a broad array of learning opportunities and prepares them for lifelong learning. Incoming medical students now begin their health-care careers with an assigned network

teach doctor-patient communication, clinical reasoning, ethics and end-oflife care. Faculty and students discuss, question and evaluate the interactions. “In the past, medical education has focused on books, cells and organisms of the body, sometimes at the expense of better understanding patients, the population and society,” said Michael Wilkes, vice dean of education, who championed the doctoring curriculum. The doctoring program trains students to focus on the patient as a

person, and pay attention to the patients’ families and communities. Students learn to integrate all medical knowledge, rather than facts from a single course, he said. UC Davis students also are learning new ways of using new technologies to help them learn technical and critical decisionmaking skills. For example, at the UC Davis Center for Virtual Care, students can practice emergency resuscitation, cardiac catheterizations and robotic surgery on sophisticated simulators in a virtual hospital setting, ensuring that they are proficient before they care for

Its continuing medical education program offers more than 150 live conferences at different locations throughout the state and the world, dozens of online classes and distancelearning opportunities to more than 32,000 physicians, nurses, public health officers, and other allied providers in the Northern California area. For its distance learning classes, UC Davis virtually eliminates geographic barriers to learning by video-conferencing relevant, timely classes, such as disaster preparedness or infectious disease updates, to more than three dozen rural sites in the state.

locations in the state. The UC Davis School of Medicine also offers a master’s degree in public health that received full accreditation this year. The program was established three years ago to meet California’s growing need for public health professionals to track, manage and prevent the spread of injuries and diseases, including cancer, birth defects and infectious conditions. UC Davis is exploring the development of a School of Public Health, which would provide the highest level of education to public health scientists and practitioners. “There is a dire need for public health professionals in California and the nation, and this is going to become more acute in the near future as retirements occur in the public health workforce,” said Stephen McCurdy, professor of public health sciences at UC Davis School of Medicine and director of the master’s program.

All the continuing education programs meet the rapidly changing needs of health care and, through a collaborative effort between UC Davis and rural providers, ultimately help to improve patient care in many of the medically underserved rural

“Central Valley and rural communities have been historically underserved and will be especially hard hit by retirements,” McCurdy said. “These areas, and the state as a whole, need public health professionals dedicated to the prevention and control of communicable and chronic diseases and to preparing neighborhoods and communities to respond to new and changing threats to health.” Recent public health challenges, including West Nile virus, influenza outbreaks and SARS, were successfully investigated and contained before becoming catastrophic epi- demics because of a strong public health response, McCurdy said. Using a public health approach can improve conditions such as obesity, smoking-related illnesses, cardiovascular disease, cancer and reproductive conditions. Integral to continuing the state’s public health successes is producing and maintaining a highly trained workforce through programs such as UC Davis’, McCurdy said. n

B R I N G I N G I T A L L T O G E T H E R UC Davis campus and School of Medicine leaders, along with elected officials and community leaders, broke ground in February on a new education building in Sacramento that will become the hub of lifelong learning for medical students and physicians. “By bringing all four years of classes together, the sense of community among our students and faculty will grow even stronger,” said Claire Pomeroy, vice chancellor for human health sciences and medical school dean. “The rich, clinical environment of the medical center will allow our students to be near patients from the first day of class. The learning in biochemistry,

physiology and other basic sciences can be directly integrated with and linked to clinical experiences.” The new 120,000-square-foot Center for Education and F. William Blaisdell, M.D., Medical Library in Sacramento will replace outdated classrooms, nearly double the space for library services and provide a central location where students, faculty and research partners can collaborate and be immersed in the art and science of medicine. The facility will open to students in fall 2006. First-year medical student Aimee Kolber said she is excited about moving into the building. In particular, she said she is looking forward to having all the medical students together. “I think we would learn a lot from the older students,” Kolber said. Fourth-year student Emily Johnson also sees benefits from the proximity of the classrooms to the teaching hospital: “I believe first- and second-year students increase their respect and sense of responsibility for their chosen career when they can see physicians at work in the hospital or clinic and patients who are in need,” Johnson said. “With

the new education building next door to the hospital, underclassmen will be able to gain an important learning experience that will increase their professionalism.” The new center and library are part of UC Davis Health System’s strategic plan to provide outstanding learning opportunities so students can attain the skills and passion needed to practice medicine and conduct research. In addition to lecture halls equipped with the latest teaching technologies, the building provides environments that accommodate small group discussions, clinical learning laboratories and gathering spaces for students to study and relax. Philanthropic support is helping to defray the $40 million cost of the new education center. One of the first contributions for the new building came from Sacramento financier Stan Pilas. A longtime patient of Dean Emeritus Joseph Silva, Jr., Pilas and his wife, Pat, decided to make

It is worth every penny to us to support their work.” The school will name the center’s new clinical training laboratory after the couple in recognition of their contribution. The 30-seat lab will provide medical students with a hands-on educational environment and will offer faculty a high-tech space in which to practice innovative teaching techniques. n

S u p p orting the next generation of p hysicians Because of the growing cost of a medical education, the availability of scholarships and other tuition assistance is critical in attracting the best and brightest students. It is especially important at UC Davis, where nearly a quarter of medical students come from backgrounds with limited financial resources and many students carry an average post-graduation debt of nearly $100,000. To help alleviate the high debt medical students face upon graduation, UC Davis School of Medicine has embarked on an effort to establish a substantial scholarship endowment. The school has several smaller scholarship programs already in place, including the UC Davis School of Medicine Alumni Scholarship program and the community-based Leadership Council Scholarship Fund. Leadership Council members Hank and Nancy Fisher are among the generous donors who

recognize the value of helping students. The Fishers donated $10,000 for a scholarship last year that was awarded to second-year student Joyce Ma. The Fishers made a similar donation this fall to first-year student Belma Sadicovick. “I place a high value on lifelong learning and formal education,” said Hank. “My wife, Nancy, and I are fortunate to be in a position to give back to the community. So, we are pleased to support a bright, dedicated student in furthering his or her education in the medical professions.”

A Francesca original: Bone cancer in her arm couldn’t keep this survivor from capturing her experience on paper.

Francesca Arnaudo is a girl who defies odds. At age 6 she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a bone cancer that afflicts only three in every million children ages 14 and under. At age 8, she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a white blood cell malignancy that occurs as a side effect of treatment in one in every 100 children who have undergone chemotherapy. Now, at age 9, the tenacious brown-eyed girl is free of both cancers. And she has kept her right arm, where the bone cancer first arose. “She’s our miracle girl,” said Yvonne Roach, a pediatric oncology nurse who has cared for Francesca throughout her ordeal.

took the first-grader to the family doctor. The family doctor sent Francesca to the local hospital for an X-ray. The X-ray revealed a large tumor on the little girl’s right humerus, the long bone extending from shoulder to elbow. By the end of the day, Francesca had seen a Stockton orthopaedist and

had a referral to UC Davis Cancer Center. More than 8,000 cancer patients from throughout the Central Valley and inland Northern California turn to the cancer center for treatment each year, including children with the most challenging pediatric cancers. The cancer center is the only provider of comprehensive pediatric oncology care, operates the only pediatric stem-cell transplant program and pediatric hospice program, and is the only National Cancer

Institute-designated cancer center serving a 33-county region that stretches from Fresno to the Oregon border. At UC Davis, a team of subspecialists quickly assembled to develop a treatment plan for Francesca. The little girl would receive chemotherapy every third week for a year. Each treatment would require a three- to six-day stay in the pediatric oncology wing at UC Davis Children’s Hos- pital. Her treatment was overseen by Zwerdling and his colleagues in pediatric hematology and oncology, including Daniel West, who is the national chairman of the Children’s Oncology Group Ewing’s Sarcoma Biology Committee, which leads efforts to find new treatments for bone sarcomas. Francesca’s team would also try to save her arm, a feat that her doctors in Ripon and Stockton predicted would not be feasible. The ambitious surgery took place in October 2003, after five months of chemotherapy to shrink the bone

tumor. In a five-hour operation at the medical center, an orthopaedic surgeon and two surgical oncologists took out part of Francesca’s right humerus, leaving the elbow joint and the bones in her lower arm intact. Into the end of the remaining humerus, they cemented the stem of a titanium prosthesis. The opposite end of the metal bone, shaped like her own joint, fit into the little girl’s shoulder socket. The nerves, tendons and ligaments running from her shoulder to upper arm were moved back into place, allowing a functional elbow and hand. The metal prosthesis served Francesca well for nearly a year. She kept her arm, had full use of her hand and good range of motion in her arm. But chemotherapy impaired her bone healing, and by the fall of 2004, the metal implant had started to come loose. Rakesh Donthineni, a UC Davis orthopaedic oncologist, was called in to help plan a salvage operation. Second surgery, second cancer Donthineni is one of only about 200 orthopaedic oncologists – orthopaedic surgeons who specialize in cancer

treatment – in the United States. But he was stumped by Francesca’s case. After consulting with half a dozen of his colleagues around the country, Donthineni planned the salvage procedure. He would replace the failed prosthesis with a new one, but this time fix the metal implant in place with cadaver bone rather than cement. During a three-hour operation in early November 2004, Donthineni and Robert Szabo, a professor of orthopaedic surgery, carefully fashioned a cadaver bone “cap” that tightly covered the stem of the new prosthesis and fit snugly inside Francesca’s remaining humerus. Over the next several months, they hoped Francesca’s own bone would fuse with the cadaver bone, augmenting her thin remaining humerus and fixing the prosthesis firmly in place. Two weeks after the successful salvage surgery, the Arnaudos got the news that their daughter had a second cancer. With the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia, Doug Taylor, director of the UC Davis pediatric stem cell transplant program, and Janice Ryu, associate professor of radiation oncology, joined Francesca’s

clinical trials. The knowledge gained from such trials, rather than the development of any particular drug, is largely responsible for dramatic increases in survival rates for pediatric cancers over the past three decades. “Everything we learn from treating Francesca will be used to help other kids,” Taylor said.

Back home In late April 2005, Francesca returned home. Like most survivors of childhood cancer, she has a long road ahead. Still immune-suppressed due to the transplant and the anti-rejection drugs she must take, she has to avoid

growing treatment team. Along with Zwerdling, her nurses, social worker and child life team, they would see Francesca through a stem cell transplant. First Francesca would undergo high-dose chemotherapy and total body irradiation to destroy her diseased blood-producing cells. Then she would receive a transfusion of donor stem cells that would grow into cells capable of making healthy blood. No one in Francesca’s family was a suitable match to donate marrow stem cells. But a match was quickly found through a national cord bank search of donated umbilical cord tissue. Francesca’s stem cell transplant required a 41-day stay in the pediatric bone marrow transplant unit on the eighth floor of UC Davis Children’s Hospital.

DOWN TO THE BONE The orthopaedic surgeons who helped to save 9-year-old Francesca Arnaudo’s arm are members of one of the West Coast’s leading centers for orthopaedic care and research. Molecular and biomechanical research is the major focus of the orthopaedic surgery department’s Lawrence J. Ellison Musculoskeletal Research Center, which seeks to discover, develop and deliver new approaches to treating diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system, from arthritis to osteosarcoma. Hari Reddi, an internationally recognized molecular and cellular biologist, established a school-wide program in tissue regeneration and repair. The laboratory also has a well-established, nationally known biomechanics laboratory led by David Fyhrie, with focus on bone modeling and remodeling, trabecular micro- mechanics and joint biomechanics. The UC Davis orthopaedics department has 19 clinical faculty members and six full-time research faculty, including three mechanical engineers, a molecular biologist and two cell biologists. Approximately 50 volunteer community physicians from Northern California have academic appointments with responsibilities in education, research and patient care. The Shriners Hospitals for Children Northern California, located adjacent to UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, has four additional full-time and two part-time faculty members with appointments at UC Davis. Together, these clinicians and scientists deliver the patient care and carry out the orthopaedic research that will make happy endings possible for many other patients like Francesca. n

R eaching out to the community for cancer p revention Del Paso Heights, a neighborhood of about 35,000 people in north Sacramento, has no chain supermarkets. One in 10 households has no car, one in five is on public assistance and one in four receives food stamps. All of which makes Jimmy’s Deli and Market, one of two independently owned grocery stores in the neighborhood, the source of most or all of the food on many Del Paso Heights tables. UC Davis Cancer Center investigators are working to ensure this food includes fresh fruits and vegetables. With funding from UC Davis, new storeowner Ker Wu recently installed a 40-foot-long refrigerated display case that has allowed him to expand his produce selection from potatoes and onions to an array of such fresh local fare as broccoli and bok choy, celery and cilantro, pears and persimmons. UC Davis also provided Wu with a grocery consultant who spent four months teaching the first-time small businessman the intricacies of the produce business.

In return, Wu will provide principal investigator Diana Cassady with sales receipts. Cassady hopes that by increasing access to healthier foods, people will buy healthier foods – and reduce their risk of cancer and other diet-related illnesses. The Jimmy’s Market project is just one example of UC Davis Cancer Center-led projects now under way to improve the health of communities: Five years ago, UC Davis Health System started discussions with Mercy Medical Center Merced and the Fremont-Rideout Hospital System in Yuba County about meeting the n

needs of people with advanced cancers in those communities. The result: two affiliated cancer centers in Merced and Marysville, where patients receive treatment close to home with clinical guidance and access to clinical trials provided by UC Davis Cancer Center. Yuba County, which has the highest cancer mortality rate of any California county, is the focus of the Healthy Yuba County Initiative. UC Davis Health System is a lead partner in this coalition of county government, health care facilities and community organizations. Together, the coalition will analyze the county’s excessive cancer burden and develop community-based interventions to reduce it. n

“Future Faire,” a free educational event held at the Yuba-Sutter Fair- grounds, introduced the community to the Healthy Yuba County Initiative. Sponsored by UC Davis Health System, the fair also offered lectures and dozens of interactive

booths featuring UC Davis Cancer Center programs and research. n UC Davis Cancer Center is headquarters for the NCI’s largest project aimed at reducing cancer in Asian Americans. Known as AANCART – for Asian American Network for Cancer Awareness, Research and Training – the $6.5 million project’s local goals range from preventing hepatitis B-induced liver cancer to improving the percentage of Asian Americans who participate in cancer clinical trials.

Through grants from the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, UC Davis investigators are also developing and implementing breast cancer prevention programs in the Sacra- mento region for American Indian, African American and Islamic women. n

The goal is to make Sacramento, one of the nation’s most ethnically diverse cities, the first in the country to erase disparities in cancer control and prevention in underserved communities. n

Like most communities, Auburn, Calif., has seen its share of cancer. But this Gold Rush-era town has done something perhaps no similarsized city has accomplished. In a little less than four years, the community has raised a million dollars for cancer research. The Auburn Community Cancer Endowment Fund got its start in April 2001. By August that year, $100,000 had been raised from 10 donors. The remaining $900,000 came in more slowly, generated during three years of barbecues, golf tournaments, motorcycle rallies, calendar sales and fun runs, as well as from continued personal donations. “What made it work was a just cause and a committed community,” says Virgil Traynor, an Auburn veterinarian who spearheaded the fund-raising effort with his good friend, Dick Azevedo, an Auburnbased businessman. Traynor was successfully treated for prostate cancer at UC Davis Cancer Center years ago.

It took a community to raise the million dollars, but a few individuals worked especially hard. Professional football Hall-of-Famer Jim Otto, who moved to Auburn after retiring from a storied career with the Oakland Raiders, joined the effort after he completed treatment for prostate cancer at UC Davis Cancer Center. Otto and his wife, Sally, hosted the first Jim Otto Celebrity Golf Classic in June 2003 at the Auburn Valley Golf Club. Football legends like Fred Biletnikoff, Willie Brown, Daryle Lamonica, Otis Sistrunk and more than two dozen others participated. The event raised $150,000. A second tournament, featuring another all-star guest list, raised $200,000. Besides Otto, other big names volunteered their help: the Ladies Professional Golf Association, Auburn Harley Davidson, Magnuson Toyota in Auburn, and the Thunder Valley Casino, operated by the United Auburn Indian Community. Numerous individuals signed on as well. Recruits included Bart

“All our families have been touched by cancer, and we can all relate to it,” O’Brien says. Now that the town has reached the million-dollar mark, organizers have set a new goal: to raise the fund total to $1.5 million. That will fund, in perpetuity, a faculty chair in basic

UC Davis have been named after individuals and corporations – but never a whole community. “This is a first,” says Ralph deVere White, director of UC Davis Cancer Center. “The generous people of Auburn are a model for how fundraising can become a community effort.” Indeed, a group of women from Roseville and surrounding South Placer County have already pledged to follow the Auburn example. Led by Carol Garcia, a Roseville bank executive, the women have pledged to raise $1.5 million to fund an endowed chair in breast cancer research. The cancer center is committed to establishing endowed chairs in six other areas of cancer research excellence: clinical research; lung cancer; pediatric cancer; prostate cancer; genetics; and immunology. Fund-raising goals for the endowments range from $1.5 to 3 million per chair.

Research endowments are critical to further develop the exceptional research programs that have been established at UC Davis Cancer Center. Assigned to outstanding research faculty, or endowed chairs, the endowments are highly prestigious and provide significant recruitment and retention incentives for national research leaders. Proceeds from endowments provide chairholders with an annual source of funding that can be used for a variety of program purposes, including seed money for early, high-risk research and recruitment of promising young researchers. The cancer center also seeks to raise $35 million for a major clinic expansion needed to accommodate

projected increases in patient volume over the next decade. The building initiative got a major boost in June 2005 with a $5 million gift from the Oakland-based Wayne and Gladys Valley Foundation. In October 2005, the Roseville-based Keaton Raphael Memorial donated $50,000 to name

the pediatric play area in the expanded building. Naming opportunities are still available for many areas of the project. Construction, which will begin immediately once the remaining funds have been raised, is expected to take two years. n

Television, video games and fast food are mainstays of young people in modern society. Unfortunately, so are obesity and type 2 diabetes. “Children, at 6 years of age, are coming into my office with adult-type diabetes. We’ve never really seen that before,” said UC Davis Children’s Hospital pediatric endocrinologist Dennis M. Styne. “Type 2 diabetes was once found only in adults. Now it’s something that could approach epidemic proportions in children.” More than 17 million people in the United States have diabetes, 16 million of them with type 2 diabetes. The disease is characterized by the body’s resistance to insulin and impaired insulin secretion.

Each of the five clinics focuses on particular segments of the community. The Joan Viteri clinic reaches drug users and street workers; the Paul Hom Asian Clinic provides primary and acute care services for the Asian-Pacific Islander community; Clinica Tepati primarily serves downtown Sacramento’s Hispanic population; Imani Clinic focuses on

under-and uninsured African Americans in Sacramento’s Oak Park community, where volunteers emphasize health education and awareness; and Shifa Clinic, located inside a mosque, offers patients – many of them recent immigrants – medical and interpretation services in a variety of Middle Eastern languages. n

T A PP I N G I N T O T E C H N O L O G Y The length and expanse of California creates health-care access challenges. To bridge the gap, UC Davis Health System offers its medical expertise to rural communities beyond Sacra- mento through its telemedicine program. Led by Tom Nesbitt, executive associate dean for administration and clinical outreach, telemedicine connects experts at the medical center with doctors and patients at 80 sites throughout the state through live video conferencing. The program

has been so effective that the federal government asked that it be available to provide emergency services during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In the northern valley town of Oroville, for example, telemedicine provides specialty care for a number of households with incomes well below the poverty level. Patients here suffer illnesses and disease like any other town, but many lack reliable transportation or the

money to travel to a major urban area like Sacramento, nearly 90 miles away. So it is at Oroville’s community hospital where UC Davis delivers its specialists via a video connection. Now a town and its residents – patients who need unique medical expertise from time to time – are able to reduce the limitations of distance and isolation and receive the specialized care they require and deserve. n

U N I Q U E E D U C AT I O N P R O G R A M S Community outreach is not just about delivering medical care. It also means increasing the number of people choosing health care as a career, especially those who currently are not well represented in the field. UC Davis Health System recently partnered with St. HOPE Public Schools in Sacramento to introduce its Sacramento High School students to the variety of career opportunities in health care. Thanks to a $500,000 donation, plus in-kind contributions and equipment, UC Davis has placed students in hospital and clinic settings to work directly with faculty and staff. School of Medicine professors also share their expertise in classrooms by providing presentations on health topics and physician and scientist development. Students also take part in ‘medical student for a day’ tours, which feature an inside look at the workings of medical center and hands-on experiences at the Center for Virtual Care. n

Outstanding Community Service Award Recognizing UC Davis’ long-standing and deep commitment to serving the residents of Northern California, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) honored the School of Medicine and Medical Center with a prestigious Outstanding Community Service Award for 2005. The award was presented at a special ceremony during the 116th annual meeting of the AAMC in Washington, D.C. The national honor recognizes medical schools that provide exceptional programs and outreach efforts in their local communities whose needs are not being met through traditional health-care delivery systems. During a visit to the medical center’s campus and its surrounding neighborhoods, AAMC representatives toured UC Davis’ student-run clinics, witnessed the advanced technology of telemedicine, and learned about the innovative programs at UC Davis that are making a difference in underserved communities. The AAMC committee noted that UC Davis Medical Center operates in one of the most diverse cities in the nation and provides specialty care to rural regions with some of the lowest population densities in the country. And because it integrates community service with its research and teaching missions, UC Davis stands out through its broad perspective for addressing a variety of critical health issues. n U C D AVIS HEALTH S Y STE M

UC Davis Health System has achieved tremendous success through strategic partnerships that promote creativity and foster excellence in patient care, research, education and public service programs. Partners in patient care The Center for Health and Technology uses advanced tele- communications technology to provide much-needed specialty care services to more than 80 sites throughout California. These collaborations include links with hospitals in Redding and Mt. Shasta, which bring pediatric intensive care specialists to injured and critically ill children in these remote regions. Another unique program uses wireless teleconferencing equipment at the medical center to provide remote language

Partners in research UC Davis Health System has a strong reputation for establishing productive, innovative partnerships that focus on developing and sharing discoveries that make doctors and patients everywhere better. A model partnership between UC Davis

Cancer Center and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory led to its designation by the National Cancer Institute in 2002 – and redesignation this year – as one of the nation’s best cancer centers. This partnership unites nearly 200 scientists at work on 317 cancer projects

on three campuses, including the development of a small-scale proton beam accelerator and a non-invasive optical diagnostic microscope. The General Clinical Research Center, a joint project of the UC Davis School of Medicine and the Veterans Affairs Northern California

excellence in science education and supporting the development of students who are interested in pursuing careers in research, medicine, nursing and allied health-care fields. UC Davis provides advice on the development of Sacramento High’s Health Sciences curriculum, offers students a variety of “real-world” experiences in health care, and supplies physicians, nurses and staff who teach classes on science and career development and serve as tutors and mentors. Nearly 100 students have had hands-on training at UC Davis’ Center for Virtual Care, and many have participated in internships and part-time work programs.

UC Davis and community organizations collaborate to teach pediatric residents how to build effective partnerships with community organizations through the “Communities and Physicians Together” (CPT) program. Estab- lished in 1999 by pediatrics professor Richard Pan, CPT has taught more than 50 residents to be community leaders. In CPT, community organizations and physicians identify community strengths and priorities. Residents are assigned to a neighborhood and given a two-week block rotation each year of residency to, in the first year, learn about the resources in their community and, in the second and third years, implement and evaluate a community project in partnership with a community organization. Many residency graduates remain active in these communities. Pan received the American Medical Association’s 2005 Young Physicians Section Community Service Award for his work with CPT.

Students from Sacramento High School learn “real-world” health-care interventions at UC Davis’ Center for Virtual Care.

Community Advisory Board

The Firefighters Burn Institute donated $1 million to build the new UC Davis Regional Burn Center. The organization has made a commitment to help UC Davis raise an additional $1 million.

Partners in the community

Firefighters Burn Institute Thirty years after it helped create the UC Davis Regional Burn Center, the Firefighters Burn Institute continues to be a vital partner and major supporter of teaching, research and patient care programs at UC Davis. With its most recent donation of $1 million and pledge to raise another $1 million, the burn institute is helping to build a new burn unit at the medical center that will double the size of the current facility and consolidate all burn services in a single location. The new unit, slated to open in 2008, will be located in the Surgery and Emergency Services

Pavilion, now under construction at Stockton and X Streets in Sacramento. It will occupy 9,000 square feet and expand space for patient care, treatment, storage and equipment. The existing eight-bed regional burn center provides care to nearly 300 burn patients annually from throughout the medical center’s 33-county, Northern California region. Patients are admitted for life-saving procedures, intricate wound care assessment and management, as well as rehabilitation and psychosocial support and counseling.

An essential partner in achieving the university’s mission, the Community Advisory Board (CAB) advocates new programs and initiatives benefiting patients and families in the community. The 28 volunteer members are routinely solicited for their views and opinions, and often influence decisions impacting the broader community. Members are drawn from throughout the region to reflect the needs and concerns of various ethnic, economic and cultural groups. The CAB has worked diligently to promote the university’s role as a leader in the region for medical education, provision of charity and uncompensated care, health disparities research, and in finding collaborative solutions to community-wide challenges.

Leadership Council The UC Davis Leadership Council is a volunteer group of community advocates who are committed to building awareness of and support

for UC Davis Health System throughout the Sacramento region and beyond. Members act as ambassadors to the community and as architects of private philanthropic support. In 2004, the council established the Annual Giving Associates program to encourage support for key health system initiatives within the leadership council membership. The associates program includes council members who have donated $1,000 or more. In its first year, the Annual Giving Associates exceeded its first-year goal of $100,000.

Children’s Miracle Network UC Davis Children’s Hospital is one of 170 hospitals in the nation that partners with the Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) to provide the best care for children when they need it. More than $1 million raised in the past year supports research into causes and treatments for childhood cancer, asthma, diabetes, obesity, autism and many other disorders.

Projects completed as busy construction pace continues A major UC Davis Health System facility has been completed and crews continue to make steady progress on several additional projects. Construction is finished on the 40,000-square-foot Oak Park Research Building in Sacramento, which houses the new Center for Biophotonics Science and Technology, as well as research space for UC Davis Cancer Center, Radiation Oncology and Infectious Diseases. The biophotonics center is dedicated to exploring the use of light and radiant energy in biology and medicine. These new buildings achieve compliance with state seismic safety laws, and satisfy a pressing need for more space and modernized facilities. The build-out of the 14-story Davis Tower moved closer to completion with the opening of the new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, which has 10 more beds and provides a more family-oriented environment of care than the former NICU. Other major projects under way are the 470,00-square-foot Surgical and Emergency Services Pavilion, which will include a new emergency department and operating room; the Center for Education and F. William Blaisdell, M.D., Medical Library, which will serve as the primary teaching facility for the School of Medicine; and the Central Plant expansion, which will replace the cooling towers at the medical centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power plant with larger towers to increase the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity and to improve energy efficiency. n
