  A report on philanthropy. Summer 2020

August 2020 Dear friend: Thanks to donor support, Huntington Hospital has been here for our community for 128 years. Today, we are working around the clock to continue responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to provide the very best of care for all who need us.

Even during this challenging time, we still wanted to take a moment to celebrate the members of our community whose thoughtful gifts are helping us stay at the forefront of world-class care — now, during this unprecedented health crisis, and into the future. In the pages of this publication, you will read about a few of these generous philanthropists and how their support is further elevating health care for our region.

Community philanthropy allows us to do more and do better, for our patients. That includes supporting our efforts to ensure safe care remains available for all who need it. With strict screening and infection-prevention measures in place, we are here to safely care for you and your loved ones. For the latest information on the ongoing pandemic and how we are working to keep you safe, visit www.huntingtonhospital.org/COVID-19.

Please know how grateful we are for your support, which has helped us tremendously during this chapter of healthcare history — a time when our community needs us more than ever. On behalf of everyone at Huntington Hospital, thank you for your involvement in our important work.

Sincerely,

Jane Haderlein Senior Vice President of Philanthropy and Public Affairs

A note on this issue.

We began work on this publication prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some services (such as volunteer services) may now be temporarily suspended, to protect public safety. Many of the photos included in the following pages were also taken before the pandemic began. As a result, they show individuals who are not wearing masks or practicing social distancing.

In response to this health crisis, we took prompt and thorough action to protect patients, staff, visitors and our community. We remain responsive to local need and committed to your safety during this uncertain time. Visit www.huntingtonhospital.org/COVID-19 for the latest information on the pandemic and how we’re working to keep you safe.

A note to our friends.

As the COVID-19 pandemic moved from threat to reality, everyone at Huntington Hospital adapted quickly to meet the challenge. Today, we continue to do all we can to support the safety of our community and, at the same time, to protect our healthcare workers on the front lines of care.

In this and other aspects of our work, our team members exemplify compassion in action. So, too, do the generous donors who help make our work possible. Over the generations since this hospital was founded, community support has always been essential. Past contributions helped make us strong — and ready to respond to challenges like the one we are now experiencing.

Now, too, our community is stepping up to help in a big way. We are deeply moved by the generosity of everyone who has made a gift toward our pandemic response. At press time, philanthropic friends have already contributed more than $1 million through our special COVID-19 Response Fund.

We are also extremely grateful to all of you who have made gifts toward other areas of our work, helping to ensure that great care is available for every patient who turns to us.

As we work to meet the rapidly changing needs associated with the pandemic, we are also grateful for our strong collaboration with other medical institutions across our region. Sharing information and coordinating our approach is helping to ensure the best possible response, in our own service region and countywide.

Personally, I have been deeply encouraged by the compassion and relentless commitment I have witnessed during my interactions with local healthcare leaders.

From everyone at Huntington Hospital, many thanks to all the caregivers, staff, donors and community members who contribute with such care and compassion.

You keep us strong. Together, we will get through this.

Heather and Paul Haaga A focus on extraordinary achievement.

Heather and Paul Haaga personify the words community philanthropists, and for many years, they have directed a generous portion of their philanthropy in support of Huntington Hospital. Now, they are again making a difference for the health of our community, through a significant gift toward our new cardiac center.

The Haagas’ gift was, in particular, inspired by the creation of a new state-of-theart suite within the new center that will allow seamless transition from catheterization to surgery — and vice versa. Known as a hybrid suite, it represents the latest advances in care, supporting both catheterization and surgical procedures. It will provide significant benefits for patients whose treatment requires a combination of these techniques. (See page 14 for more information.)

10 Transform

Advocate. Summer 2020 11

The new suite will introduce a level of cardiac care previously unavailable in the San Gabriel Valley. “We learned,” says Heather, “that the hybrid suite will help the hospital to further expand and enhance lifesaving care. We’re very enthusiastic about it because of the impact it will have.”

We will name the Heather & Paul Haaga Hybrid Catheterization Suite in recognition of this generous couple’s support.

Passionate about impact.

The Haagas were particularly alert to the importance of great heart care as a result of family experience, they note. “My father had heart problems for the last 20 years of his life,” says Paul, “and ultimately passed away as a result of his heart condition.

“Given my father’s experience,” he adds, “I continue to monitor my own heart health carefully. While we don’t just give to causes that are related to diseases we’ve had ourselves, these experiences probably made us more aware of the need for this project and more able to understand its importance.”

The Haagas were also motivated, they explain, by the careful planning that had already gone into the creation of the new cardiac center: At the time our Nan and Howard Schow Emergency & Trauma Center was expanded, we created additional space directly above it, anticipating the need to grow our heart-care services. The new cardiac center’s location also means that patients entering our emergency department with cardiovascular emergencies will reach care more rapidly.

“We were impressed that Huntington Hospital had the foresight to create the space in advance, to house this new center,” says Heather. “As a result, gifts like ours can have a greater impact in terms of advanced systems and technologies.”

When it comes to these technologies, Paul adds, “We were encouraged by the exuberance and excitement of the doctors we spoke with. They’re evidently passionate about what can be achieved in terms of lifesaving care as a result.

“We also recognize this project is important given the aging of the San Gabriel

12 Transform

Valley’s population and thus the likelihood of greater need for heart care,” he continues, “but, in the end, we were inspired not so much by demographics as by the potential to save individual human lives.”

Next-level care.

Paul is the retired chairman of the board of Capital Research and Management Company. Following retirement, he served as interim chief executive officer for National Public Radio, and now serves as chair of that organization’s board of directors. He also serves on the boards of several renowned institutions, including Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, as well as, more locally, the Los Angeles Natural History Museum and The Ralph M. Parsons Foundation.

Heather, an accomplished artist, is also extensively involved in nonprofit causes.

She is emerita chair of the Salzburg Global Seminar, a trustee of Princeton Theological Seminary, a member of Princeton University Art Museum’s advisory council, and chair of the African Wildlife Foundation, among other leadership roles.

Regarding both their board involvement and their philanthropy, the Haagas explain, their focus is on organizations they believe are poised to move to a higher level — and on determining how they can personally be of service in supporting such improvement. With regard to their gift to our cardiac center, says Paul, “The hospital is already an exceptional medical institution, and we’re confident that community investments like ours will now help it go from exceptional to extraordinary.”

The Haagas’ generous gift is a philanthropic investment in the future of heart care — including creation of a new hybrid catheterization suite (rendering at left) that will be named in their honor.

Hybrid catheterization suite.

Donors who support Huntington Hospital’s cardiac center are helping to advance the level of heart care available to patients in our region. Thanks to these donors’ thoughtful contributions to date, construction is underway on our new, state-of-the-art heart care facilities, equipped with the very latest medical technologies. Heather and Paul Haaga (see page 10) are among the generous individuals who have already provided support toward creation of the new center. Their gift is helping to create a high-tech hybrid catheterization suite here.

Our new cardiac center will be staffed by experts in heart care including Azhil (Alex) Durairaj, MD, medical director of cardiology.

14 Transform

The new hybrid catheterization suite reflects our commitment to ever-higher levels of cardiovascular care for our patients. The first of its kind in our service region, it will accommodate both catheterization and surgical procedures. As a result, our expert care team will be able to transition patients more rapidly from one treatment modality to another, without the need for transportation to another location on our campus.

The suite will be equipped to provide a highly sophisticated level of care — including transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), minimally invasive repair of abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms, endovascular procedures and open heart surgery. It will also support surgeries that require advanced image guidance. Bringing catheterization and surgical capabilities together in a single location will help accelerate treatment for trauma patients whose injuries require a combination of these techniques.

In addition to housing advanced imaging, angiography, patientmonitoring and other technologies, the hybrid suite will be large enough to accommodate a multidisciplinary clinical team — allowing multiple experts to collaborate, in response to each patient’s unique care needs. As they provide best-in-field care, our team members will have in-suite access to CT, MRI and other important test results, to further guide and expedite care.

We are extremely grateful to the thoughtful philanthropists who are partnering with us in creating our new cardiac center, including the hybrid catheterization suite as well as other areas for truly advanced care. Their gifts will have a meaningful impact — reducing time to treatment, streamlining care, meeting the needs of a growing population, and enhancing health outcomes for patients in our community.

We have heart.

Huntington Hospital has long been recognized for outstanding cardiac care. In everything we do for heart patients — screening and diagnostic services, advanced medical and surgical treatments, and cardiac rehabilitation and education programs — we strive for excellence, and it shows. In 2020, we were named one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Care and one of the 100 Best for Coronary Intervention by Healthgrades, the leading online resource for information about physicians and hospitals.

To speed and strengthen care for heart patients still further, we are now creating a new center, entirely dedicated to world-class cardiovascular care, on our campus. Locating the new cardiac center directly above our Nan and Howard Schow Emergency & Trauma Center will reduce the time it takes for us to move patients during cardiac emergencies. The center’s comprehensive range of cardiovascular services — all brought together under one roof — will make it easier than ever to heal hearts.

Within the new center will be two specialized suites equipped to provide a full range of cardiac catheterization procedures. In addition, a hybrid suite (the first of its kind in our service region) will offer both catheterization and surgical capabilities (see opposite page). Patients requiring pacemaker implantation or other electrophysiology services will also find the specialized facilities and equipment they need, here.

In addition to care suites, the new cardiac center will include pre- and post-procedure areas. Here, patients will be prepared for surgery and recover in a comfortable setting — especially welcome at what can be a stressful time.

We look forward to keeping you updated as work progresses on the new cardiac center, which is scheduled for completion in March 2021.

At first, Esmeralda (Esme) Gibson thought the pain was not serious. It would go away by the morning, she reasoned. “I initially thought I had indigestion,” Esme says, “but the pain kept getting worse.” In the middle of the night, she decided to research her symptoms online, and “I saw that what I was experiencing seemed to match the heart attack symptoms for women.”

What she read convinced Esme that she needed to call 911, and she was relieved when emergency personnel arrived and transported her to Huntington Hospital, an institution she knew and trusted. Both she and her late husband, Bob, had been patients here in the past.

“All the doctors who cared for us were so careful and efficient,” she says, “and I’ve known some of them for a long time. It’s part of the reason Bob and I began donating to the hospital.”

Though she was anxious about her condition, Esme was reassured when interventional cardiologist Gregory Giesler, MD, arrived at her bedside in our emergency department.

Dr. Giesler had been on Bob’s cardiac care team and, more recently, Esme had heard him speak at a hospital event where he shared information about the latest advances in cardiac care. “I can’t tell you how relieved I was to see him walk through the door,” she says. “I knew I was in good hands.”

Esme Gibson From the heart.

Dr. Giesler and his team worked quickly to care for Esme. After two stents were inserted to treat her blocked artery, she was transferred to our definitive observation unit (DOU) for careful monitoring until she was well enough to return home. She now participates regularly in our cardiac rehabilitation program, which provides physician-supervised exercise and other services to support heart health.

Lifesaving learning.

Esme praises the care provided by Huntington

Having spent her career in journalism, Esme was Hospital physicians including interventional adept at research. What she learned online about her cardiologist Gregory Giesler, MD (above). symptoms proved lifesaving. “I want others to know that for women, a heart attack might not present with the classic ‘male’ symptoms,” she stresses.

(See page 18 for more information about heart health.)

At the time of her retirement, Esme was a news editor at the Los Angeles Times. Bob’s 19 years as the Times’ foreign editor took him around the world. When he became the international economics correspondent for the paper, Esme often accompanied him as his photographer. After his retirement, the couple continued to enjoy travel.

In addition, closer to home, they both secured magician memberships at the exclusive Magic Castle.

The Gibsons also participated in the community — both through volunteerism and through philanthropy. After giving to organizations across the United States, “We wanted to have more of an impact on our own community, and we began concentrating our financial gifts locally,” Esme says.

Close to her heart.

Esme and Bob supported our work in many ways — providing cash gifts as well as direct contributions of appreciated stock. In addition, they gave using tax-smart qualified charitable distributions through an individual retirement account (IRA). While many of their gifts were made without restriction, Esme most recently chose to focus increased support toward an area that is close to her heart, making a multi-year pledge of funds toward the creation of our new cardiac center. “One of the things that inspires me,” she says, “is that patients will get cardiac care even faster once the center is open.”

Creating the center directly above our emergency department will make it possible to move patients to treatment via a single, speedy elevator ride. This and other enhancements will help reduce time to care when every moment makes a difference.

In addition to expressing gratitude for the care she received, Esme is pleased to honor Bob’s memory through her gift to the center. We will name the Bob and Esme Gibson Patient Room, in recognition for her generous support. “I thought it would be nice,” she says, “to have a lasting memorial like this for Bob.”

Knowing the symptoms of a heart attack helped save Esme Gibson’s life.

Here are some things we all should know:

Operating better.

Patients in our region turn to Huntington Hospital for superior surgical care.

In addition to more than 250 expert surgeons on our medical staff, we also invest in the state-of-the-art facilities and technologies that support surgical excellence. Now, we are taking our surgical care to an even higher level of excellence, by working on an important construction project to enhance our surgery facilities.

Community philanthropy is helping make our new surgery center a reality. When construction is complete, the center will encompass seven new surgical suites — and eight existing surgical suites will also be upgraded as part of the project, ensuring all are future-ready. Advanced technologies, including latest-generation robotic surgery equipment, advanced monitoring systems and more, will be available here.

Of course, the enhanced surgery center will also include ample space for patient preparation and recovery, as well as comfortable waiting areas, well-equipped nursing stations, and related administrative space. Construction will be phased to ensure the continued availability of surgery services to meet regional need, throughout. Once complete, the center will allow us to serve the local population better than before.

We anticipate that work on the new surgical suites will be completed in July 2021.

Upgrades to existing spaces are scheduled for completion by September 2022. We look forward to keeping you updated as this work progresses.

saves lives.

A leader in surgical care, Huntington Hospital has the expert staff and state-of-the-art technology needed to perform a wide variety of procedures. Investments from thoughtful philanthropists make our work possible. Donor support has allowed us to bring advanced minimally invasive techniques — which can reduce recovery time, lessen post-surgical pain and minimize scarring — to our patients.

“

Thank you is not enough, especially for Dr. Dikranian. He is compassionate and experienced, and I knew he was looking out for me.

What can you say to the man who saved your life more than once?

”

P

ete Sanchez was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2010. After discussing his treatment options with his physician, he decided to have surgery. Pete was referred to Armen Dikranian, MD, our medical director of robotic surgery, for a partial nephrectomy. This delicate procedure removes the tumor while saving the kidney.

Donor support made it possible for us to acquire the advanced robotic surgery equipment that Dr. Dikranian used to operate on Pete. The minimally invasive procedure was a success, thanks to the surgeon’s expertise and the high level of precision that is possible using robotic techniques. Pete was cancer free.

“I appreciated the minimally invasive option,” he says, “and Dr. Dikranian had a very compassionate approach.”

Pete remained healthy for six years but was then diagnosed with prostate cancer. “I heard somewhere along the way that if cancer happens once, it can happen again,” he says, “so it didn’t come as a total surprise.”

Although the cancer diagnosis was stressful, Pete was reassured by his confidence in Dr. Dikranian and his local hospital: “In my book, if you have to go somewhere for care, Huntington Hospital is the hospital of choice,” he says. “They are very professional and they know exactly what they’re doing.”

Again using robotic surgery techniques, Dr. Dikranian operated on Pete, leaving him cancer free once more. Recovery, notes Pete, “was a matter of breathing exercises, follow-up appointments and waiting for my small wounds to heal,” he says.

“There was no negative when it came to the care I received,” he adds.

Pete remains vigilant regarding his health — and grateful to those who provided his care. “Thank you is not enough,” he says, “especially for Dr. Dikranian. He is compassionate and experienced, and I knew he was looking out for me. What can you say to the man who saved your life more than once?”

Pete Sanchez credits advanced robotic surgery — performed at Huntington Hospital by Armen Dikranian, MD — with saving his life. Twice.

Fall Food + Wine Festival In celebration and support.

Each year since its inception, the Fall Food + Wine Festival has delighted guests thanks to its unmatched combination of delicious food, fine wines and dance-worthy live music. The 35th annual festival, co-hosted by Huntington Hospital and Parkway Grill on Sunday, October 27, 2019, was no exception.

More than 1,500 guests converged on the grounds between Parkway Grill and Arroyo Chop House in Pasadena for this popular event. As they celebrated together, those in attendance were also making a lifesaving difference in our community: Event proceeds support the important work of Huntington Hospital Trauma Center, the largest trauma center in our region.

The 2019 festival raised more than $260,000 in support of the center’s important programs and round-the-clock care for seriously injured patients.

A portion of the proceeds makes Stop the Bleed training possible. Provided by our specially trained medical professionals, this training brings lifesaving knowledge and skills to local community members: Participants learn how to stop potentially fatal bleeding from a traumatic injury until emergency responders can reach the scene — improving chances of survival for the critically injured.

Funds generated through the event also helped us purchase essential equipment — and supported advanced education for medical residents and nurses in our trauma center, helping to ensure the very latest knowledge and care skills. Festival patrons, sponsors and other friends are crucial partners in ensuring we can provide world-class trauma care to all who need it. We are extremely grateful for their support.

Looking ahead.

The Fall Food + Wine Festival has long represented a way for members of our community to enjoy a great evening out and save lives at the same time. This year, however, we are unable to gather in person for the festival because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will miss joining with our guests, but the health and safety of our community comes first.

Since there is still an urgent need for support toward important trauma care initiatives at the hospital, we will soon be launching the Fall Food + Wine Restival.

Watch for more information about how you can participate and make a difference in the provision of lifesaving care for our region. Also, be sure to check the Fall Food + Wine website at www.ffandwine.com for updates.

Carole Greene Increasing knowledge, advancing care.

When Carole Greene established the Carole and Warren Greene Endowment for Medical Innovation at Huntington Hospital, she knew she was doing something her late husband, Warren, would be pleased about.

“He did a lot for other people, and all his life he was interested in medicine,” she says.

“I know he would be especially happy about supporting medical research and innovation at the hospital.”

The generous endowment Carole has created will support the research activities of physicians and medical residents working here. As a result, it will help to advance medical knowledge and strengthen care — now and into the future.

“Huntington Hospital is doing research that can save lives and change the face of health care,” Carole notes. “New technologies and new medications are regularly being developed. It takes dedicated individuals to undertake the kind of research that creates solutions and advances the field,” she adds, “and it takes money to fund it.”

Advocate. Summer 2020 27

Lifelong learning.

Carole served as a professor of American history and political science at Pasadena Community College for many years, as well as at California State University, Northridge, prior to her retirement.

Warren was an optometrist, practicing in Monterey Park. He was also very involved in the work of Lions Clubs International, serving on the organization’s board of directors.

Lions Clubs service took the Greenes to locations around the globe. “Warren wanted to do everything he could to help people in other parts of the world,” Carole says. By way of example, she mentions his role in establishing vision clinics in Sri Lanka and other countries and his work in conducting vision screenings for more than 60,000 children in the San Gabriel Valley. “My niece described Warren as ‘a man of vision,’ and it was true,” Carole says.

Along with Warren, Carole shared a love of learning and research. While she was still teaching, she decided to pursue a law degree. “I thought it would be interesting to study and I just wanted to learn more,” she explains.

A vision for the future.

The Carole and Warren Greene Endowment for Medical Innovation is a fitting tribute to the late Warren Greene, who was known for his generous spirit and love of learning.

The Greenes’ love of learning is reflected in Carole’s choice of philanthropic focus at the hospital. “I’m excited that the endowment fund will make a difference that has the potential to help not only people being served right now, but hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions of people in the future,” she says.

“My grandmother had cataract surgery,” she adds, by way of example, “and at that time you had to keep your head immobilized for a long time afterwards. Now, it’s an outpatient surgery with a much easier recovery.” Such progress, she notes, is made possible thanks to medical research.

A premier institution.

Carole and Warren have been long-term donors, making predominantly unrestricted gifts, which give us the flexibility to use funds where they are needed most. Over the years, the Greenes increased the level of their support. “The more we learned, the more we wanted to give,” Carole says.

While Carole has not been an inpatient at the hospital, she notes that Warren was treated here. He also participated in our cardiac rehabilitation program. “People truly trust Huntington Hospital,” she says, “and I’m proud it’s part of my community. This is a premier medical institution, and I’m glad it’s here.”

Key to Huntington Hospital’s mission is our team of approximately 1,200 nursing professionals, who provide excellent bedside care and compassionately serve patients. These nurses are a critical part of the care team across every department of the hospital.

Philanthropic contributions from our community help the hospital provide our nurses with high-level training, education and professional-practice opportunities that simply would not be possible otherwise. This in turn supports better patient outcomes.

In addition to other activities, generous gifts allow us to offer a Nurse Residency Program for new graduate nurses. As part of this program, experienced members of our nursing staff serve as preceptors to newer nurses. In 2019, our Nurse Residency Program received the highest possible level of accreditation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

“We are proud that our Nurse Residency Program is recognized by ANCC as one of the highest-quality transition programs for nurses,” says Gloria Sanchez-Rico, MBA, BSN, senior vice president and chief nursing officer. “This designation is a testament to how rigorous and comprehensive our training is — essential to ensuring that our nurses are fully prepared to provide the very best of care to our patients.”

The caregivers on our nursing team are staying positive and upbeat during the current health crisis, while delivering consistently exceptional care to patients in our region.

Arno Grether

Two lives saved.

Arno Grether has a strong connection to the hospital, both as a donor and as a patient.

The road was deserted. They were miles from the nearest hospital and Arno Grether feared his friend, Jerry Spoelma — with him in the truck — had died. In fact, Jerry was still alive, but was having a heart attack.

Arno was quick to respond. He drove to the nearest building and called out, asking someone to call 911. In the time it took for emergency services to arrive, Arno had also taken another important step to save Jerry’s life. “I’d had a heart problem myself, and had been living in a remote area, so I owned a defibrillator,” he says. “For some reason I still don’t understand, I’d slung

it in the back of my truck that day and I was able to use it on Jerry.”

After Jerry was airlifted to the nearest hospital, his prognosis did not look good, but he ultimately recovered and was able to return home to Southern California. If Arno had not been able to provide prompt help that day, things could well have ended in tragedy — and he now credits the lifesaving care he received at Huntington Hospital with saving two lives: his own and that of his friend. “Thanks to the care I got, I was around to help Jerry in his hour of need,” he says.

A trusted institution.

Even before this incident, Arno had expressed his gratitude for care through his charitable gifts toward our work. Having grown up in the San Gabriel Valley, he says, he had always known and trusted the hospital.

In addition to himself, other members of his family had turned to us for care. The Grether family — including Arno’s late parents, Elsa and Tom, his sister Sheila and her husband Mark Marion, as well as Arno himself — have all provided generous support. Gifts from the family supported construction of our East Tower and established the Grether Family Endowment to support nursing education, for example.

When Arno was diagnosed with coronary artery disease in 1993, he turned to us — and credits our care By acting fast and using a defibrillator, Arno saved the life of team with saving his life. After that, even though he his good friend Jerry Spoelma (above). had moved out of state, he continued to travel back to Pasadena to receive regular heart check-ups.

Some years later, Arno again became unwell. He was in pain, had a fever, and was experiencing a strange pins-and-needles sensation across his face. After a trip to his local emergency room in New Mexico, where he lived at the time, he decided to fly to California and come to the medical institution he trusted with his life.

His condition worsening, he met with Robbin Cohen, MD, our medical director for cardiothoracic surgery. (Though he was feeling very ill, Arno had not lost his sense of humor. “I have aliens in me! Get them out!” he told Dr. Cohen.) The biopsy Dr. Cohen performed revealed that Arno was suffering from histoplasmosis, a type of lung infection.

It was progressing dangerously quickly. “I would have gone septic and died within a couple of weeks,” says Arno, who recovered after receiving advanced medical care and monitoring in our definitive observation unit (DOU).

Recognizing excellent care.

In gratitude for lifesaving care, Arno has been a longtime member of our President’s Circle, and has made many above-and-beyond gifts over the years. He and his sister also both continue to provide funding toward the Grether Family Endowment.

Shortly after his experience with histoplasmosis, he thanked members of our DOU team more personally, treating them to a day at the races. At the time, Arno was an avid racegoer and horse owner. “I decided to name a race for Huntington Hospital’s DOU staff in recognition of the excellent nursing care I received,” he says. Each year, he also sponsors a table at our Fall Food + Wine Festival and then donates it back for use by DOU staff, as an additional way of saying thank you.

“They’ve always taken good care of me at Huntington Hospital,” Arno says. “It’s why I still go there for medical care, even though I live in Colorado now. After all, they saved my life — twice! — and that means I was still around to save Jerry, too.”

Community outreach nurses

Supporting health for all who live here.

CAREGIVER SPOTLIGHT

Thoughtful donors help Huntington Hospital improve the well-being of local residents. Philanthropic support for our community-based services helps provide a host of outreach and education services, as well as diagnostic screenings, flu shots, emergency preparedness activities and more.

Ruth Pichaj, RN, manager of community outreach and benefits, oversees our efforts to connect otherwise underserved local residents with needed medical services. “Many people don’t have insurance or a medical home,” says Ruth, “and don’t know how to find the care they need. Our programs help them.”

Ruth’s team of four part-time outreach nurses provides services at more than a dozen community sites: schools, community centers, farmers markets and other locations that are conveniently accessed by local residents. Free monthly screenings are an important part of their work. In addition, they provide health counseling on relevant topics, referrals to additional healthcare services, guidance in using needed medical devices such as glucometers for patients with diabetes, and formal and informal educational presentations.

“All of our nurses are experienced, committed and passionate,” Ruth says. “They go above and beyond to help each person they interact with.”

In partnership.

Our community outreach program also includes pop-up medical clinics providing a variety of healthcare services.

“The nurses organize the clinics in collaboration with community partners,” Ruth says. “At these partners’ sites, they set up, prepare the patients and conduct physical exams.” Sometimes, a social worker from our staff also participates in the pop-up clinic program, further expanding the type of care available.

Collaborating with local nonprofit organizations, schools and government entities expands our community outreach program’s ability to meet community need.

Pop-up clinics, for example, are offered at locations such as food banks, where we reach community members who face significant barriers in accessing medical care.

“Right at the very first clinic we held,” says Ruth, “more than half of the people we saw were then connected to Huntington Hospital Ambulatory Care Center (HACC) for additional help.” HACC — a full-service medical clinic on our campus — serves as a medical home for patients without other care resources. Staffed by internal medicine and surgical residents under the supervision of our medical faculty, it provides a broad range of primary, specialty and other health-related services.

Throughout this work, community donors are key partners. “We’re grateful to the donors who make it possible for us to do all this important work,” Ruth says. “What we do helps address problems before they become more serious,” she adds, “and it helps local residents make choices that enhance the overall health of our whole community. The people who support this program are making a very lasting impact.”

Brenda Berg and Armando Gonzalez Providing significant community benefits.

Brenda Berg and Armando Gonzalez, FAIA, want everyone in our community to have access to world-class health care. “We see health care as fundamental to a productive and fulfilling life,” Brenda says.

“People shouldn’t have to worry about seeing a doctor or seeking preventative medical care because of financial constraints.”

Driven by this commitment, the couple recently provided a generous gift toward Huntington Hospital’s community outreach programs. Specifically, their support will help provide vital health services for otherwise underserved community residents. These services — offered at locations across Pasadena — include health examinations, health-related counseling, referrals for additional and ongoing medical care, and assistance in obtaining health coverage as needed.

Thoughtful giving.

Armando and Brenda are making their most recent gift to us via disbursements from their retirement savings account. This approach can provide attractive benefits to the donor as well as to the chosen cause. (See page 38 for more information.)

“If we withdrew these funds from the account ourselves, we’d have to declare it as income and pay the related taxes,” Armando explains.

“Giving it to the hospital directly means we maximize the benefit, helping to provide more important services to our community.”

The gift from Brenda and Armando will help improve the health of hundreds of vulnerable individuals in our community over the next five years.

Ruth Pichaj, RN, manager of community outreach and benefits, measures a patient’s blood pressure. Preventative health screenings such as this are among the many community outreach services we offer thanks to generous donor support.

Architects of improvement.

In addition to providing long-term philanthropic support to the hospital, Armando is a member of our board of directors (currently serving as vice chair) and a lifetime trustee. He also serves on our Philanthropy, Building and Facilities, Compensation, Finance and Investment, and Governance committees. Originally from San Antonio, Texas, he moved to California with his family at age 5. After graduating from Loyola High School, he went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Southern California and, in 1980, founded Gonzalez Goodale Architects (now GGA Architects) in Pasadena. He retired in 2014, subsequently becoming a consultant to the firm.

Brenda grew up in Seattle, after her family moved from the Midwest to the West Coast. She had a successful career with Girl Scouts of the USA, serving as chief executive officer of the Mount Wilson Vista Council (now part of the Los Angeles Council) prior to her retirement in 2008.

More recently, Armando and Brenda established Berg Gonzalez Consulting, which leverages their combined experience in nonprofit governance, nonprofit management, architecture and project design. One of their current projects involves a nonprofit start-up, created in collaboration with GGA Architects. The nonprofit organization, Community Design Group, will provide multidisciplinary assistance to worthy community improvement projects, with a significant focus on addressing the crisis of homelessness.

“ There’s a strong need for the kind of preventative care and community wellness services provided through the hospital’s community outreach programs.”

Key to our mission.

Brenda and Armando’s leisure activities include spending time with family, traveling and pursuing a rather vigorous exercise and wellness program. In addition, community involvement remains a priority. Both have served on boards and committees for a variety of organizations, with a focus on housing and education as well as health care. They are also involved in efforts to develop next-generation leaders in our region.

The couple views the hospital’s community outreach as key to our mission of care — and an important means of enhancing life for vulnerable local residents. “For us, it’s self-evident that when you help people stay healthy, you’re also supporting economic development,” Brenda notes. Simply put, “When people get the care they need, they can also keep their jobs.”

“For many years,” Armando adds, “the hospital has provided a high quality of care with really great physicians and really great nursing staff, and that has to keep happening of course. We also believe there’s a strong need for the kind of preventative care and community wellness services provided through the hospital’s community outreach programs, and we want to help make these services even stronger and more widely available.”

Saving lives in the community.

t’s part of our mission: Huntington Hospital reaches out to help local residents who would otherwise not have access to care. Thoughtful contributions from donors like Brenda Berg and Armando Gonzalez, FAIA, ensure we can continue to offer essential services like medical pop-up clinics for underserved community members.

Sandra Avila appreciated the opportunity to visit one of our pop-up medical clinics at her kids’ school. She could get the health check-up she needed — and it was free and convenient. She had no way of knowing that it would also save her life.

Our community outreach team measured Sandra’s blood pressure, checked her blood glucose levels and ran various other essential tests. During the consultation, Sandra mentioned that her sister had Graves’ disease — a genetic disorder that causes an overactive thyroid. In response, a physician staffing the clinic performed an additional examination. Though Sandra did not have symptoms indicating a thyroid problem, the doctor found a small lump on her thyroid gland. He referred her for additional care that she could access despite not having private health insurance.

A biopsy revealed that Sandra had thyroid cancer — a condition that would likely have gone undiagnosed for much longer had she not visited our pop-up clinic that day. After surgery to remove her thyroid gland, she continues to receive follow-up care and is today cancer free.

“I’m so grateful to Huntington Hospital’s pop-up clinic program,” she says. “I want to tell the doctor I saw there that I’m alive because of him.”

Until recently, individuals age 70½ or older were required by the IRS to take required minimum distributions (RMDs) from their tax-deferred retirement accounts each year. If you reached the age of 70½ in 2019, this rule still applies to you. You must take your first RMD by April 1, 2020.

For those who reach age 70½ after 2019, a new rule is now in effect, thanks to passage of the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act, which became law on December 20, 2019.

In this case, you must take your first RMD by April 1 of the year after you reach age 72.

As in the past, arranging for funds to be conveyed directly from your retirement account to a nonprofit organization like Huntington Hospital reduces or completely eliminates the impact of RMD income on your income taxes. Please feel free to contact our office of philanthropy at (626) 397-3241 if you are interested in learning more about how you can maximize your gift impact through an RMD distribution.

The SECURE Act included other changes regarding retirement plan distributions. We encourage you to work with a financial advisor to determine how these changes could impact you.

ach year, gifts to Huntington Annual Fund from our diverse community of supporters — including patients, other local residents, employees, physicians and friends — help to strengthen the hospital. More than 3,000 donors provide approximately $5 million in flexible operating support through the fund on an annual basis. Their support helps bridge the gap between available revenue streams and the actual costs of providing care, and strengthens care and outcomes for our patients.

We are deeply grateful.

By making a gift to Huntington Annual Fund, you help us:

• Attract and retain highly skilled clinical staff.

• Offer the latest advancements in care.

• Provide opportunities for advanced nursing education, resulting in even better care at the bedside.

• Upgrade technologies and maintain premier facilities to further enhance patient outcomes.

• Support advanced clinical research that leads to new medical discoveries.

Gifts to Huntington Annual Fund also help us meet unforeseen needs as they arise, without affecting our long-term financial stability or ability to achieve existing goals. Looking to the future, given the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, gifts to our annual fund will be more essential than ever.

Huntington Annual Fund and President’s Circle Ways to give.

There are many ways to make an immediate — and often lifelong — impact on our patients and their caregivers. You may provide unrestricted support, which gives us maximum flexibility to use funds where they are needed most.

This includes, for example, attracting the best and brightest clinical staff, providing ongoing caregiver education, maintaining and upgrading state-of-the-art facilities and more.

Alternatively, you may designate your gift to a specific area of our work that has special meaning for you. Funds will be used to support the greatest needs in the area/s of your choice.

Donors to Huntington Annual Fund receive exclusive benefits (see opposite), including — for those providing gifts of $2,000 and above — membership in the President’s Circle of Huntington Hospital. President’s Circle donors provide approximately 80 percent of annual fund contributions and we particularly appreciate their generous support.

Winslow Reitnouer Extended family.

“Huntington Hospital has been an important part of my health and happiness for nearly fifty years,” says Winslow (Winnie) Reitnouer.

The hospital’s caregivers “were always there for me and my family when we needed them,” she adds. “We came to love and trust them.”

Winnie’s decision to provide philanthropic support was in part an expression of gratitude for the care she and her late husband Lynn have received — and the birth of grandchildren Alex and Katherine here.

She is a member of our President’s Circle at the Medicus Society level. President’s Circle members are among our leading Huntington Annual Fund donors, providing generous annual gifts for current use.

Winnie notes that Lynn was a patient here on a number of occasions, receiving care for atrial fibrillation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He also participated in our nationally recognized cardiac rehabilitation program.

More than once, Winnie adds, San Marino paramedics brought him to our emergency department, and “the staff there rose to the occasion every time. There’s a special place in my heart for the staff members who tended to my husband in his

final days in the critical care unit,” she adds. She describes how, in addition to providing high-quality clinical care, they went the extra mile to make him comfortable in every way possible. “He was so tall, and they even brought in a special, longer bed for him to accommodate his height,” she notes.

Our staff members’ compassionate approach also helped Winnie through this difficult time, she says. “I appreciated the extra kindness, from the way they spoke with me to the warm blankets they brought — for him and for me, too. They weren’t staff to me,” she says. “They were more like family.”

Winnie Reitnouer’s gifts are in part inspired by the exceptional care her late husband Lynn (above) received at the hospital.

International education.

The Reitnouers met just after Winnie graduated from high school. “I saw a good-looking local boy, six feet and eight inches tall, with a ’33 Packard touring sedan, and we clicked immediately,” she recalls with a smile. “Of course, we got married three years later!”

Both Winnie and Lynn went on to study at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Following graduation, they worked as teachers in Monrovia and Alhambra. Then, in 1960, the family — now including son, John — moved to Germany, where Winnie and Lynn taught at American schools for U.S. Army dependents, Lynn as a varsity basketball coach and Winnie as a first grade instructor.

Strong ties.

The Reitnouers originally planned to spend two years in Germany.

They remained for four. The couple settled in San Marino upon their return to the United States, and Lynn began a new career. He joined

the Los Angeles investment firm Crowell, Weedon & Co (now D.A. Davidson Companies), where he remained for the rest of his life, becoming one of the firm’s earliest partners. He and Winnie also made a strong mark in their new home community: Lynn served on the city council for 10 years and went on to serve as mayor of San Marino. Winnie — among many other volunteer community engagements — co-founded the San Marino Sister City Committee, and was a deacon and elder at the San Marino Community Church.

Throughout, the Reitnouers’ links with Europe would continue, as they became involved with AFS Intercultural Programs (then called American Field Service). After the couple hosted a student from Turkey for the 1970–71 school year, Winnie served as president of this organization’s San Marino High School chapter. This in turn led to lifelong friendships in Austria. Today, Winnie is known as Mutti (mom) by several prominent residents of that country. She has received a medal for her services to Austrian youth. Lynn, too, won recognition overseas: He was granted the order of St. Agatha by the Republic of San Marino.

The order is presented to foreign nationals who have provided noteworthy services or other contributions to the republic.

More locally, Winnie has another special title. She was recently named an honorary fire chief of the San Marino Fire Department, in recognition of her family gift toward the acquisition of special paramedic equipment.

Her son, John, and his wife, Susan, live locally. So, too, do Winnie’s grandchildren, Katherine and Alex, and Alex’s wife, Keeley.

Appreciation for kind care.

Building on her ties with Austria, Winnie serves as special advisor to the board of directors of the Austrian-American Council West. In this role, she has helped designate funds from one of the group’s annual fundraisers to support our work. A plaque in our pediatric unit celebrates the gift.

“I’m a big advocate for Huntington Hospital,” Winnie says. “I give in gratitude for the service we received there, for the outreach they do in the community and for the kindness of the wonderful staff. I’ll never forget everything they did for us.”

saves knees.

Donor support allows Huntington Hospital to provide award-winning, comprehensive orthopedic care. This includes orthopedic procedures, as well as education and support for patients before and after surgery. Our trusted team of specialists provides complete care for every step — helping to keep the San Gabriel Valley moving and enjoying life.

O

ne of Jim Horstman’s favorite pastimes is hiking. Over time, though, pain in his knees made it hard to finish long hikes. He turned to Mark Jo, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Huntington Hospital, for help.

Jim learned he had osteoarthritis — a condition in which the protective cartilage at the tips of the bones is worn down. Dr. Jo recommended knee replacement surgery. As Jim’s left knee was more damaged, they decided to operate on that knee first, with replacement of the right knee following six months later.

Before the first procedure, Jim attended a special educational class led by our knowledgeable staff. These classes help prepare patients undergoing joint replacement surgery and promote the best possible outcomes. “It was very helpful,” Jim notes. “They even described how to set up everything in my home so I’d be comfortable and safe after I left the hospital.”

Jim was already walking by the evening of each surgery and our team helped arrange in-home therapy for him after he left the hospital. Before long, he was back on the trails. In summer 2019, he completed a six-day backpacking trip along parts of the John Muir and Pacific Crest trails — and he continues to hike at least twice a week pain-free.

Jim knows where he will go if he needs medical care in the future. “I only go to doctors affiliated with Huntington Hospital,” he says, “and if I ever needed another surgery, I’d go there. They provide the best care.”

“

Diana and Charles Minning A history of helping others.

Diana and Charles (Chuck) Minning have a long association with Huntington Hospital, including many years of providing generous philanthropic support. The Minnings’ thoughtful outright gifts have qualified them for membership in our President’s Circle. In addition, they are members of our Legacy Gift Society, which recognizes foresighted community friends who have chosen to support our work beyond their own lifetimes, through a bequest or other planned gift.

Much of the couple’s support has been given without restriction — meaning it can be used wherever the need is greatest. In addition, they have provided funds toward areas of special interest, including our cardiac rehabilitation services.

Chuck was born at the hospital and both he and Diana grew up in the San Gabriel Valley. About three decades ago, Chuck started seeing a primary care physician who is on staff at the hospital. The Minnings note that Chuck has also benefited from our cardiac rehabilitation program. Their donations to this area of our work have helped ensure that other patients can receive high-quality rehabilitation while recovering from a serious cardiac event, coronary artery disease or cardiothoracic surgical procedure.

The rehabilitation program — including physician-supervised exercise, as well as

52 Innovate

Advocate. Summer 2020 53

nutrition and lifestyle counseling from our experts — helps patients improve their heart health and reduces risk for future cardiac problems. Gifts from community members like the Minnings help pay for equipment and services that, while important to patients, are not covered by insurance reimbursements.

Successful careers.

Chuck Minning grew up in San Marino and attended San Marino High School. He studied mechanical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, and at the University of California, Los Angeles, ultimately earning a doctorate in his field from the former school.

He then joined Hughes Aircraft Company, where he worked as a senior scientist in the research and development department. Leaving Hughes in 1997, he moved to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), where he worked as a senior scientist until retiring in 2010.

Diana’s family moved to San Marino when she was 5. She also graduated from San Marino High School, before majoring in fashion at Pasadena City College.

She became a model, working on a number of print and television advertising jobs and “traveling to wonderful places,” she notes. Though she has recently enjoyed an opportunity to do additional modeling, she nonetheless considers herself retired. “I’m enjoying life,” Diana says, “and trying to make other peoples’ lives better at the same time.”

54 Innovate

Enthusiastic involvement.

In retirement, both the Minnings have more free time to pursue their hobbies. Chuck is an avid book collector, with special interests in the American West and the Civil War era. He is a member of The Zamorano Club — which sponsors lectures and publications on topics of interest to bibliophiles and manuscript collectors — and also remains involved in various professional organizations in the field of engineering. Diana is an enthusiastic antiquer. She is also passionate about art and loves working on interior design and decoration.

The Minnings have an affinity for traveling — with destinations often related to Chuck’s interest in American history. As President’s Circle members, they also enjoy the opportunity to attend a variety of exclusive hospital-sponsored events. “It’s a great group of people,” says Diana, “and there’s always an interesting topic to learn about.”

The Minnings’ President’s Circle-level support for our work was influenced by many factors, they note.

In particular, they point to the outstanding care that Diana’s mother received here — care that Diana rates as “a ten out of ten. Everyone at the hospital is wonderful,” she continues, “from the minute you step through the doors to the minute you leave.”

“We’re so lucky to have this resource here,” adds Chuck, “and we feel fortunate that we’re in the position to help. It feels good to support the work they do.”

After receiving lifesaving care in our NICU, Patrick Mace is now home with his grateful parents, Brendan and Tsuilei.

As the home of our region’s only level-III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), Huntington Hospital gives premature and seriously ill babies the most advanced care available in our region.

week, she and Brendan talked with our NICU team about what to expect following their baby’s birth. “The doctors told us our son would be born very early, and that he would likely have medical problems requiring NICU care,” says Brendan. “They walked us through what to expect, from delivery to possible outcomes in the NICU.” When Patrick arrived via cesarean section, he weighed less than two pounds. He had problems with his lungs, an open valve in the blood vessels between his lungs and his heart, reflux problems, hernias, and other medical issues. He received care in our small baby unit, a specialized part of our NICU, where he was placed on a ventilator and carefully monitored.

Treatment included several surgeries as well as other needed procedures.

After more than five months in the hospital, Patrick was healthy enough to go home, where he is gaining weight and developing well. In the future — hopefully soon — he will be able to breathe without supplemental oxygen.

His parents are grateful to our staff for above-and-beyond support.

“The whole team was phenomenal,” says Tsuilei. “They provided physical and social emotional support, including frequent check-ins on my stress levels. They got me different chairs so I could sit with Patrick without further hurting my back. They also coached us on — for example — how to bathe Patrick and change his diapers without disturbing the various tubes and wires he was hooked up to. As we prepared for discharge, they helped with insurance and numerous follow-up appointments. You could tell there was genuine compassion there.”

FAQs for new NICU parents.

Our level-III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) provides the highest level of care for ill and premature babies available in the San Gabriel Valley. Among other benefits, donor support allows us to attract and retain prominent specialists who have the experience and skills necessary to care for babies with even the most complex medical needs. One of these talented clinicians is Jamie Powers, MD, medical director of neonatology, who answered the following FAQs for families whose babies need treatment in the NICU.

Q. Can I hold my baby after he is born?

A. Whenever possible, we strongly support one or both parents holding their infants after they are born. We know that doing skin-to-skin care, also called kangaroo care, helps to stabilize a baby’s heart rate, breathing and temperature, not to mention the emotional benefits for both parents and baby. There are a few special circumstances when holding their baby following delivery may not be an option: For example, if an infant is delivered extremely premature or is very sick. Even for these infants, we encourage parents to hold their baby’s hand, read stories at the bedside, and even participate in taking the temperature, giving baths and changing diapers. Once the infant is ready, we start kangaroo care on a regular basis.

Q. What is all of the equipment for?

A. Newborn infants, especially sick and premature infants, have very special needs that are different from an adult or even small child. The small houses the infants are kept in, called isolettes, can help to regulate temperature, humidity, sound and light — in ways that are crucial for appropriate development. Depending on the baby’s needs, we can also monitor the heart rate, breathing rate, oxygen levels, carbon dioxide levels and brain activity, just to name a few items. Since every infant is different, the equipment that we need to use will be different for every infant. Regardless of what we are monitoring, it is all designed to ensure we are catering to each baby’s very special needs so that she continues to grow healthier and stronger.

Q. How long will my baby be in the NICU? A. A baby’s length of stay in the NICU depends on

why he was admitted. The stay can be as short as a few hours, like for babies with low blood sugar levels or in need of a little breathing help, to as long as several months, like for an infant born extremely premature.

The care team meets with families on a routine basis so that parents know when to anticipate their baby’s homecoming.

Q. How often can I visit my baby while she is in the NICU? A. Unlike the remainder of the hospital, regular visiting hours do not apply to the NICU. Parents are welcome to visit any time they are able, whether it’s 2 a.m. or dinnertime. We understand that leaving your baby in the hospital to go home is very stressful for families. Knowing that, we open our door to parents whenever they want to visit.

Q. Will I be able to breastfeed my baby while he is in the NICU? Or will I be able to once he is out?

A. We strongly encourage mothers to provide breast milk for their babies whenever possible.

Not all babies are able to breast or bottle feed when first born, but we have lactation consultants available to help support mothers with pumping their milk in the interim. When the infants are big enough and strong enough, we do promote breastfeeding while the babies are still in the NICU. Many of our NICU graduates are exclusively breastfed once home, or at least on a combination of both breast and bottle feeding.

Erika and Ken Riley Sustaining excellence.

San Marino residents Erika and Ken Riley first considered a gift to Huntington Hospital after Ken underwent knee replacement surgery here.

“We had such a wonderful experience, and the care he received was incredible,” Erika says. After two additional orthopedic surgeries —performed, like the first, by Todd Dietrick, MD — the Rileys became even more impressed by the quality of care and customer service. Since making their first contribution in 2012, they have increased the level of their support and are now members of our President’s Circle.

“We appreciate the importance of having an independent hospital that serves as such a great resource to our region and we were interested in making a greater impact,” Ken says. “When I think of the hospital, I think of the word competence, and I mean that as a high compliment,” he adds. “They’re competent in so many different areas.

“Another thing that sets it apart,” he continues, “is the hospital’s strong relationship with local physicians, which supports a strong continuum of care.

The close relationship the hospital has with my general practitioner and orthopedic specialist made all the difference. I think that kind of integrated care is vitally important.”

As an added benefit of their President’s Circle membership, the Rileys note, they enjoy attending this group’s events. These special gatherings provide opportunities to meet hospital leaders, as well as to learn about health-related topics and the latest advances in care here.

A global perspective.

Born in Germany, Erika attended college in Berlin and in Paris. In addition to her native German, she became fluent in English and French, and also learned a little Spanish.

Drawing on her language abilities, she went on to become a flight attendant for Pan American World Airways (Pan Am), which gave her the opportunity to travel the globe for the better part of a decade. When not on duty, she called New York, NY, home.

The Rileys are grateful to orthopedic surgeon Ken grew up in Missouri and attended Todd Dietrick, MD (above), and are impressed by Missouri University of Science and Technology, the overall quality of care here. where he earned a degree in chemical engineering. He then began a long and successful career in the oil business. Working for ARCO for 40 years, he was vice president of ARCO Products Company at the time of his retirement. Subsequently, he established a consulting business, which he maintained for a decade.

Ken’s work with ARCO often took him abroad and it was while living in Brussels that he met Erika. The couple married in New York in 1965. Later, Erika left Pan Am and the couple moved to Connecticut, where they started a family. They have two daughters.

The Rileys’ travels were not over, however. Ken’s career took the “ The close relationship family to Venezuela (where they lived from 1968 to 1970) as well as to varthe hospital has with my ious other places around the globe.

Supporting strength.

The Rileys settled in San Marino in 1972 and they are deeply committed to their home community. They provide philanthropic support to many local organizations and are long-time members — and elders — at San Marino Community Church. Erika is a docent at The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens and, passionate about music, she is also a member of Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts, The Blue Ribbon at The Music Center, and Los Angeles Philharmonic.

The Rileys see their support for the hospital as an important part of their community involvement — and a way to help keep their community strong. “The hospital is a community gem,” says Erika, “and it’s important that it keeps up its excellence, so patients can continue to be well cared for and treated with compassion.”

“We think it’s important to do our part to keep it strong,” adds Ken.

orking hard, going the extra mile for patients and their families, and caring with compassion: Every day, in numerous ways, Huntington Hospital staff members demonstrate their deep commitment to our mission.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen additional examples of this commitment, as team members have courageously rallied to provide frontline care, around the clock.

Through our employee giving campaign, I am Huntington, members of our team have another way to express their dedication if they wish — by supporting us with a philanthropic donation.

Through the campaign, employees in departments across the hospital are invited to give at any level that is comfortable to them. They may make their contributions without restriction on use, or may choose to designate funds toward a specific area of our work. Involvement is made easy, through payroll deductions that can be set up via a link on our employee web portal. All donations are voluntary.

The I am Huntington campaign launched in October 2019, and response has been strong. One in 10 staff members have participated and many have formed teams that are now helping to involve their peers.

Many thanks to the members of our I am Huntington Campaign Committee, whose contributions and hard work have encouraged others to become involved in the campaign. Through I am Huntington, employees provide philanthropic support toward our work.

Staff giving back.

We are grateful to each of our generous employee donors. Here, we introduce you to just a few of them: Andy Decker is a senior project manager in our strategic planning and reimbursement department. He has worked here for almost five years, and believes strongly in safeguarding world-class medical care for patients in our region.

“Donating to the hospital is a public good,” he says. “We help people here regardless of their ability to pay, and we want to be able to continue to do this for our community.”

One of Andy’s three children has received exceptional care here, he adds, giving him an even greater appreciation for the importance of our work. “The continuum of care, from when you walk in the doors to after you go home, is great,” he says. “I think it can be easy to overlook the role a hospital plays until you really need one. It’s in everyone’s interest to support it.”

“Huntington Hospital is a phenomenal organization to work at,” says Diana Unti, risk, claims and insurance liaison here. “We believe in compassionate service to each person — to patients, to community members, and also to our employees.”

Diana started working with us as a contractor in our compliance department before becoming a permanent full-time employee in risk management services in September 2019. In addition to our high-quality, compassionate approach, she says, what sets us apart is our commitment to continuous improvement. “The hospital is always interested in implementing changes to make it even better,” she explains, and this is part of the reason she decided to become a donor: “I couldn’t help but want to be a part of that,” she says.

Diana set up her contribution through a payroll deduction, and was impressed with how fast and easy the process was. Now, she encourages everyone who is thinking of giving to do so. “Working in the field of health care,” she says, “you’re driven by something more: to help others. Donating is just another way for us to meet that calling, to give of ourselves.”

Tommy Mai, director of pharmacy services, gives to many causes but, he says, contributing to the hospital feels different: “Nothing can compare to the feeling you get when you personally see the difference your support is making…to see up close how your donations help provide care for people during their most vulnerable times.”

A member of our team since November 2018, Tommy notes that part of what makes the hospital special is the culture of giving that has been cultivated here.

“Everyone is so willing to help out,” Tommy says. “I have the privilege to work with amazing caregivers every day who strive to always be positive and friendly.

“I believe contributing to the hospital is a great way for me to help further our overall effort to serve the community,” Tommy adds. He chose to give an unrestricted gift, allowing us to use the funds wherever the need is greatest.

Thank you to all of the employees who have given through I am Huntington. You continue to inspire us through your above-and-beyond dedication to the health of those we serve.

Gratitude through giving.

hrough our Grateful Hearts program, patients can thank an exceptional staff member who has gone above and beyond to improve their care experience and make their hospital stay the very best it can be.

Anne Au, MS, director of laboratory services (pictured above), is one of those recently honored through Grateful Hearts. Anne has been part of the Huntington Hospital family for 44 years. She oversees operation of laboratory medicine, including accreditation and quality management. Currently, she is also in charge of COVID-19 testing.

Anne says she was both surprised and honored to be recognized through the Grateful Hearts program. The donation made in her name, she feels, is a tribute to the efforts of an entire team — and to the compassionate community care model we all practice. “We celebrate success together, we face challenges with total cohesiveness and we all want the hospital to flourish,” she says. “I feel that any donation to the hospital really recognizes everyone who contributed to the patient’s care.”

SCRUBS Giving Society

Keeping kids safe.

Last year, SCRUBS Giving Society donors went the extra mile in support of pediatric mental health. They met and exceeded a $50,000 fundraising goal — raising more than $75,000 for the SCRUBS Inside & Out Campaign. We are grateful to the donors who gave so generously, and to SCRUBS Inside & Out Campaign Chair Mabell Paine for spearheading this fundraising initiative.

Funds helped us to provide specialized training for nurses in our pediatric and emergency departments, in order to address a serious mental health trend: Suicide rates have increased for young people across the country.

In fact, suicide is now the second-leading cause of death among children ages 10 to 14.

Thanks to support from SCRUBS donors, nurses in our pediatric and emergency departments were taught best practices for identifying and helping children who are experiencing emotional health issues, including those who are at risk for suicide. These nursing team members also learned to use a toolkit developed by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), designed to effectively screen youth and guide appropriate action.

We were one of the first hospitals in Southern California to implement this important training for pediatric staff, and nurses in

our pediatric department are already putting to good use what they have learned. Since March 2019, every patient between the ages of 10 and 17 in this department has been screened for suicide risk. Now that we have also completed training for nurses in our emergency department, patients in this age group are also being screened as they turn to us for care.

All pediatric and emergency department nurses — a total of more than 200 caregivers — have completed the new training. In addition, thanks to above-and-beyond support from our SCRUBS donors, we recently worked with a local school to provide suicide prevention education to more than 40 parents, students and community members.

Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen our efforts, increasing the likelihood that troubled kids in our community will get the mental health support they need.

“By supporting this campaign,” Mabell says, “SCRUBS donors are helping our own families, friends, neighbors and fellow community members. They’re helping to save children’s lives, and we are grateful.”

Ashley Schrader was the 2019 scholarship recipient.

Working as a patient care associate in our emergency department, Ashley helps provide basic life support, wound care and other essential services. She has also demonstrated her dedication to community service through her work on both our Disaster Preparedness Committee and our Decontamination Team. As a volunteer for Reach Out Worldwide, the Center for Domestic Preparedness, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), she has leveraged her skills to help even more community members at times of crisis.

Due to COVID-19, the Flintridge La Cañada Guild made the difficult decision to cancel its 99th annual horse show, originally scheduled for Thursday, April 23, through Sunday, April 26, 2020, at the Flintridge Riding Club in La Cañada Flintridge. The guild looks forward to hosting future horse shows when it is again safe to do so.

Huntington Charity League Diana Han

W

hen it comes to her volunteer work on behalf of Huntington Hospital, it was meant to be, Diana Han believes.

“I kept coming across people who were connected to the hospital,” she says, mentioning her daughter Irene’s softball coaches — who are physicians here — by way of example. So when a friend invited her to the 2017 gala for National Charity League Juniors of San Marino (which later became Huntington Charity League), she decided to attend. “I went with Irene to learn what the buzz was about,” she says.

Huntington Charity League (HCL) is a group of local volunteers who, at their annual gala, raise funds that benefit vulnerable babies and their families here. Support generated through the event also goes toward scholarships for select Huntington Hospital nurses.

A fateful day.

At that first HCL gala Diana attended, one of the auction prizes completely captured daughter Irene’s attention: a painting of the hospital.

(Irene is herself a talented artist.) What made the auction item even more attractive was that whoever obtained it would also get to have lunch with then-President and CEO Stephen A. Ralph, and receive a tour of the NICU. Diana made a bid — and won. She, along with her husband, Nixon, and Irene, were all able to participate in the lunch and tour and, “During the lunch, I learned more about the hospital, and realized how inspired I was by its mission,” Diana says. Over the course of the NICU tour, her interest grew still further. “I was so moved by all the little lives that were so fragile and vulnerable,” she says.

“That experience sealed my fate,” she adds. “I wanted to do what I could to give back,” and Irene’s enthusiasm provided further motivation. Diana decided to join the group that would become HCL. No regrets.

Celebration and support.

On February 22, 2020, Huntington Charity League held its annual patron cocktail reception at The Valley Hunt Club. More than 100 guests attended the festive event, which included hors d’oeuvres, drinks, music, prizes and more.

Proceeds from the 2020 reception support essential care for babies in Huntington Hospital’s neonatal intensive

Since then, Diana has in turn encouraged others to join the group — and has nurtured Irene’s desire to become more involved, too. (Irene is exploring ways that she might use her artistic talents to benefit the hospital.) Diana’s son, Eason, age 5, is too young to become meaningfully involved — but she plans to bring him to hospital events when he is old enough. “It’s important to me to pass the importance of volunteering and philanthropy on to my children,” she says.

A native of China, Diana is active in the San Marino Chinese community, helping at local events. She was initially nervous about whether there would be a language barrier to her involvement at the hospital. Now, she encourages others not to worry about that.

“Language is not a problem. Come volunteer!” she says.

“Do what is meaningful to you to help,” she adds, “and you will not regret a day in your life.”

Doing more good.

Celerina Hayes

“

I

’m impressed with the commitment to quality health care at Huntington Hospital,” says Celerina (Terri) Hayes, “and I’ve always been interested in volunteer work. These factors, combined with Terri’s longtime interest in the field of medicine, led her to become a volunteer here in 2011.

As with all our volunteers, she began her service in errand and escort. Since then, she has expanded her involvement, volunteering three days a week. In addition to a continued role in errand and escort services, she assists in the surgical waiting room and volunteers at the information desk in our main lobby.

Even after extending her volunteer service, Terri felt compelled to do more. “I wanted to give more than my time,” she says, “and I was inspired by how committed all the staff here are to the hospital’s mission. I wanted to support them so they can continue the good work they’re doing.” She decided to become a donor — making her gifts without restriction so they may be applied to areas of greatest need each year. She is recognized for her generous support as a member of our President’s Circle.

Terri’s most recent gift was made via a charitable distribution through her individual retirement account (IRA). This way, she says, “I can maximize my contributions and avoid a tax obligation on those funds.” (For more information on charitable distributions from a qualified retirement plan, see the sidebar on page 38.) As someone who spent her career in finance, she appreciated the financial prudence of this vehicle for her philanthropy.

Coming home.

Born in the Philippines, Terri moved to the United States at age 17. She went on to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in business administration from California State University, Los Angeles. She then obtained her California CPA license and a master’s degree in taxation from Golden Gate University. She worked as tax director in the finance departments of several Fortune 500 companies over the course of her career, living in Los Angeles, in the Bay Area and in Hawaii.

After she retired, Terri began volunteering at her local hospital in Hawaii, but she was eager to be closer to relatives. (Her son’s family — including Terri’s three grandchildren, two of whom were born at Huntington Hospital — lives in the San Fernando Valley.) She moved back to California and has lived in Old Town Pasadena since 2011, retaining her condominium in Hawaii for part-time use.

Giving back.

In addition to her volunteer work at the hospital, Terri is a board member of her homeowners association in Hawaii and serves as treasurer of the association at her condo in Pasadena. She is also involved in several local charities.

“I know it’s an overused phrase, but I believe it’s important to give back to the community,” she says, adding that she especially cherishes her time at the hospital. In the surgical waiting room, for example, family or friends of patients undergoing surgery can of course be quite anxious. Terri feels it is important that someone is readily available to answer questions, and help share information from staff members about how their loved one is doing during the surgical process. “I’m extremely gratified that I can offer such comfort to people who check in at the surgery waiting room during my hospital shift,” she says.

“My volunteer work and my financial contribution,” she adds, “give me a sense of instant impact. It makes me feel like I’m making a difference to the hospital, and to the community.”

Gail and Ted Gunther

G

ail and Ted Gunther have long admired Huntington Collection for the myriad treasures on sale there.

“You never know what you’ll find,” says Ted, of the wide selection of donated and consignment items available at the Collection.

As Ted considered volunteer opportunities after retiring, Gail suggested Huntington Collection might be a good choice. He began volunteering here in 2017, and Gail followed suit in 2018. Both are enthusiastic about their roles here, which give them an opportunity to support important services for our community: Funds generated through the Collection benefit Huntington Senior Care Network (SCN), a nationally recognized program that helps older and disabled adults and families remain healthy and independent.

“I truly know from personal experience what an important resource it is,” Gail says of SCN. “When I was a caregiver for my mother and my aunt,” she adds, “SCN was a great help.”

The Gunthers also appreciate Huntington Collection’s role in making our community more eco-friendly. “I love that we’re recycling and repurposing things,” Gail says of their work at our upscale resale store. “We’re saving beautiful things from a landfill, while also raising money for a good cause.”

Both Gail and Ted have been patients at the hospital, and two of their three children were born here — increasing their commitment to make a difference here through their volunteerism. “The hospital is such an important institution within this community,” says Ted, “and volunteering has made us even more aware of what a precious resource it is.”

Perfect fit.

Ted and Gail each volunteer in areas of Huntington Collection that are well suited to their interests and experience. Ted worked in information technology for more than 50 years. “I was drawn to anything with a cord,” he says. At the Collection, he helps to refurbish, sort and price small appliances and machines such as toasters, lamps and radios.

While Ted has an affinity for function, Gail is more focused on form — and when a volunteer position focused on art and mirrors became available at Huntington Collection, she jumped at the opportunity. “I love what I do there,” says this retired librarian. “We receive such a variety of items, including antique engravings, original oil paintings, carved masks and graphic art pieces by well-known artists. I have so much gratitude for people who donate their treasured possessions to us,” she adds. “They trust us to respect these items and treat them well — and we do.”

Your giving

makes life better.

Supporting seniors and their care partners.

Dear friend Best wishes to you and your loved ones for a joyous holiday season and a wonderful new year!

All of us at Huntington Senior Care Network (SCN) are thankful for the opportunity to help improve the lives of local seniors and adults with disabilities, throughout the year. Our care coordination services, support groups for caregivers, classes for those affected by memory loss and other programs make a real difference for our community.

(As an example, see the sidebar at right to learn how local residents Laura and Dean Montgomery have benefited from some of the programs we offer.)

We are also grateful to the many partners who work with us to make an even greater difference for those we serve. This includes generous donors and volunteers, as well as other care providers, local companies and members of our community.

In addition, of course, we deeply appreciate our dedicated staff members. I believe their knowledge and compassion are unmatched in our field and I am so proud of all that they do and accomplish each day.

In 2019, SCN marked a special anniversary: We have now been serving older adults, adults with disabilities and their family caregivers — both in the hospital and in their homes — for 35 years. We are truly grateful to you for your friendship to date, and we look forward to serving you in 2020 and beyond.

Warmest regards,

Since 1984, Huntington Senior Care Network (SCN) has worked to help older adults, adults with disabilities and their families to be healthy, productive and independent. Proceeds from Huntington Collection, along with thoughtful gifts from members of our community, allow SCN to offer its education, support and other valuable services to local residents. Laura and Dean Montgomery are among the many community members who have benefited from SCN’s services.

L

aura Montgomery had begun experiencing some worrying memory lapses. She consulted a physician and underwent a series of tests. In 2017, at just 58 years old, Laura was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease.

“It’s been a transition” — for her and for her husband Dean — she says. Laura had always been an in-charge kind of person. Now, Dean would need to become the caregiver in their relationship. When Laura’s doctor recommended the Montgomerys obtain help in adjusting to their new situation, they enrolled in SCN’s Alzheimer’s Los Angeles Memory Club, which provides important support in coping with memory loss. Led by expert staff from SCN, and featuring respected guest speakers, Memory Club is an eight-week program available free of charge for people with early-stage dementia and for their care partners.

“Every day, I get mad at myself, and I like the fact that I have someone to talk to. It makes it better,” Laura said, when interviewed at the time of the couple’s participation. “It also makes me feel better that Dean has an outlet and people to talk to about this,” she added. “It’s such a steep learning curve and such a big transition for both of us.”

The Montgomerys also took part in SCN’s Taking care of you: powerful tools for caregivers. This low-cost six-week program is designed to support caregivers. “It helps you to deal with your emotions and to make sure you take care of yourself as well as your partner,” Dean explained. “It’s also helped me communicate with Laura better and I appreciate the weekly action plans it provides. You have the chance to talk to people who are going through the same thing as you,” he added.

“I’d recommend these resources to anyone.”

S. Robert and Denise Zeilstra Gift Shop Marcela Crowley 84 Engage

M

arcela (Marcy) Crowley began volunteering at Huntington Hospital in 2019, but her involvement in our work stretches back much further — to 1974, when she joined our staff as a nurse.

Just six months after retiring, she returned as a volunteer.

She now helps in both our S. Robert and Denise Zeilstra Gift Shop and at the information desk in our main lobby.

Noting that volunteers provide significant help to patients and visitors throughout the hospital, Marcy is enthusiastic about her new role. “I enjoy being able to connect with visitors and make a difference,” she says, “and I see this as a way of giving back to the hospital, which has been such an important part of my life over the years.”

Giving care.

With both registered nurse (RN) and Certified Nurse Operating Room (CNOR) qualifications, Marcy began her career at the hospital in 1974, working as a surgical nurse. In the late 1970s, she became a clinical coordinator, in specialty areas including cardiothoracic, trauma and urologic surgeries. Later, she worked in our robotic surgery program.

Marcy’s responsibilities included ensuring the availability of needed technology and equipment in the surgical suites, coordination of staff training, and more. “The surgical field is complex,” she says. “The nurses who work in the hospital’s operating rooms, and all the other nurses here, really deserve a lot of praise.”

A new chapter.

Gifting a smile.

For the safety of our community, our gift shop is currently closed to visitors.

However, you may order gifts and flowers for delivery to patient rooms by calling (626) 397-5257.

While retirement is still new to Marcy, she is enthusiastic about this next chapter in her life, including the ability to spend as much time as possible with her sons and their families. She has three grandchildren, the youngest born at Huntington Hospital in December 2019.

“I absolutely loved my time working on the hospital’s staff,” Marcy says. “I had so many wonderful experiences here and I considered the people I worked with family. I knew I wanted to volunteer here when I retired,” she adds.

“I’m grateful for the opportunities I was given and I’m grateful to be able to give back.”

Introducing returning board member.

Huntington Hospital is pleased to welcome returning member Deborah Williams back to our board of directors in 2020.

Deborah Williams Deborah (Debbie) Williams has more than 33 years’ experience in the field of health care. At the time of her retirement from Kaiser Permanente in 2011, she was practice leader for governance support of information technology systems.

In addition to her service on our board, Debbie is a proud member of the Altadena Guild, which — through its annual Home Tour — generates vital funding for Huntington Hospital and Huntington Medical Research Institute. She is also is an avid supporter of efforts to promote leadership and growth for girls, and serves on the boards of Planned Parenthood Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley, Inc., and of the Pasadena-Altadena Community Endowment Fund.

This Altadena resident is also a past president and a longstanding member of the Pasadena Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Among other involvement with this organization, she previously chaired the annual Young African American Women’s Conference.

Debbie holds a bachelor’s degree in speech and hearing sciences from Michigan State University and a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Southern California. She previously served on our board of directors from 2013 to 2018. We are extremely grateful for her renewed involvement.

Advocate. Summer 2020 99

Dear friends: Thank you for taking the time to read these pages and learn more about the work your generosity continues to make possible. Your support is more vital than ever.

The world has changed dramatically in just a few short months. We continue to face a global pandemic that has changed the way we live our lives. We are also in the midst of a worldwide movement against social injustice. True to our vision, we endeavor to be leaders of creating community well‑being in our response to both challenges. The safety of our patients and caregivers remains our guiding principle as we face this novel coronavirus, and we are reevaluating our diversity and inclusion programs to be more responsive and robust.

Current challenges underline the fact that we must work together to keep our community healthy and strong — and do so with compassion toward one another. Our recent increase in COVID-19 patients following the reopening of society is a reminder that the pandemic is far from over, despite our collective weariness from its impact on our lives. Our board of directors is meeting frequently with hospital management and physician leaders to closely monitor and assess the status of the evolving situation as well as our continued response. Rest assured, we remain safe for care and prepared to treat all our patients throughout this chapter of healthcare history.

As we strive to meet the extraordinary needs of this unprecedented health crisis, we know we cannot do this critical work alone. If you are able, I invite you to make a contribution to our lifesaving work. Always — and especially during these difficult times — we remain thankful for your thoughtful partnership and generous support.
