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.
