LETTER FRO M TH E PRESIDENT Dear Friends of Marian, It has already been 14 months since Marian Regional Medical Center’s beautiful new hospital opened its doors to the community. Every single day since we opened, we hear and see the countless ways in which the new hospital is positively impacting our patients, their families and the community at large. Throughout the past year, our patients and community members have consistently rated Marian as one of the top performing hospitals throughout the Dignity Health system for positive patient experience. Marian’s outstanding patient experience results have also recently earned recognition for excellence by Avatar Solutions and the “Quest for Excellence” award, Dignity Health’s highest patient satisfaction distinction for Marian’s commitment to continuously improving patient and family centered care. In this issue of the Marian Regional Medical Center Foundation’s Innovations publication, we are proud to share the celebration of the Marian Heart Center’s twentieth anniversary, its rich history and plans of a thriving future. You will also read about opportunities for philanthropic giving, patient testimonials and the many ways in which Mission Hope Cancer Center continues to elevate care provided to oncology patients and their families. As you know, Marian stands committed to delivering the highest level of care by investing in the latest technological advancements and recruiting health care professionals and physicians from the top medical schools and institutions. It is the commitment and dedicated service from our employees, physicians, volunteers and donors that assures Marian provides high quality compassionate care and service for our patients and community. Recently Dignity Health proudly introduced new, powerful philosophical messaging to our communities. Rooted in our history, mission and values, we believe that people deserve to be treated with dignity, compassion and humanity. We trust this messaging will continue to unite us, inspire us and help us advance our mission. We’re calling it

“Hello humankindness.” We know medicine is more effective when it’s delivered with “humankindness”, which has always been the mission and philosophy of Marian Regional Medical Center and our founders, the Sisters of Saint Francis. Our physicians, employees and volunteers have dedicated their lives to health care because we want to help people heal – to treat them not as numbers, charts or symptoms, but as human beings worthy of the best care and greatest compassion. We believe humanity is at the very core of health care and we have always known what scientists and researchers are now proving to be true: medicine has the ability to cure, but it is our shared humanity that holds the power to heal. Your unprecedented generosity in support of Marian’s new hospital, technologies, programs and services directly benefits the lives and health of our patients and community. On behalf of all employees, physicians, volunteers and patients, we sincerely thank you and your family for your continued support of the new hospital, which will assure that Marian Regional Medical Center continues to provide for the health and well-being of our patients and community. In Gratitude,

Charles J. Cova President and CEO Marian Regional Medical Center

An Evo luti o n i n Card iac Care Advancing cardiac treatment for a hospital of tomorrow In 1993 Marian Regional Medical Center introduced its comprehensive cardiac program to the community, allowing the people of Santa Maria Valley, for the first time, to receive cardiac care here at home rather than leave the area for advanced heart treatment . Much has changed since 1993. Over the years, Marian has expanded the Heart Center and updated the catheterization laboratories and the cardiac surgical suite. It’s programs and services continue to flourish and the Heart Center ranks within the top 10 percent nationally for all cardiac care measures of quality. The Heart Center provides a wide range of specialty treatments including interventional cardiology, a multitude of surgical procedures, cardiac/pulmonary rehabilitation services and prevention/ wellness programs. Marian continues to add to our dedicated Heart Center team by recruiting the nation’s finest cardiologists, cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons, anesthesiologists, radiologists and nurses – who all specialize in cardiac care. As Marian celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the Heart Center, there is no denying that it has grown strong, but there is still more work to be done.

Today’s surgical landscape is rapidly evolving as technology becomes more advanced and science becomes more telling. At present, interventional treatments and surgeries often overlap. Interventions now treat increasingly complex diseases, while surgeries are becoming less invasive. Thus, very often endovascular and open heart procedures are combined in what is referred to as “hybrid” procedures. This merging of procedures has sparked a need for operating rooms that can easily adapt to a variety of procedures, including endovascular, minimallyinvasive, open heart surgery and hybrid procedures. This is why the Marian Heart Center will be taking another giant step forward by adding another state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization laboratory and renovating a current cardiac catheterization laboratory to become a new hybrid operating suite. “With a new hybrid operating room and remodeled catheterization lab, we will achieve a higher level of coordination in care for patients who require multiple procedures,” says Charles J. Cova, President and CEO of Marian Regional Medical Center and Vice President of Dignity Health Operations. “This translates to greater comfort, shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery times for our patients.”

It also allows for continued expansion in patient services as new technologies become available.

Mark Sm ith A Marian Heart Center “builder” appreciates the value of his investment

As a successful construction entrepreneur and real estate developer, Mark Smith has spent his life building more than just fine homes and commercial properties. More importantly, Mark and his wife of 67 years, Dorothy, have literally invested their lives in building the future generation of health care for the Santa Maria Valley. It was 1943 when Mark entered World War II as a Private First Class Rifleman in the 99th infantry regiment. As a decorated soldier, Mark served his country with honor and even victoriously fought in the infamous Battle of the Bulge. Mark’s three years in the United States Army taught him many things, but most importantly Mark learned firsthand how precious life is. “I have long felt as if I have been living on borrowed time,” confides Mark. “I’m lucky to be here; lucky to have grown with this community.” Mark has remained a strong believer in the value of preventative health and wellness. Since heart disease can even sneak up on those that are the healthiest and the most active, he also knew how crucial it is to have the right facilities and the right people immediately available in emergency situations. As a result, in the early 1990s, when the Marian Foundation approached Mark and Dorothy about supporting the hospital’s commitment to develop the Marian Heart Center, they generously accepted. Little did Mark know that he would soon be a patient of the Heart Center he helped to build. In 1995, just two years after Marian introduced its comprehensive cardiac program to the community, doctors diagnosed Mark with heart disease and he was soon scheduled for cardiac bypass surgery. A successful businessman, Mark had the options to choose any medical center in the country for his procedure. After careful and extensive research, Mark chose to have his operation at the Heart Center he helped to build,

at the hands of the Marian physicians with whom he had the utmost confidence.. “I’m living proof that heart surgery at Marian worked for me,” explains Mark. “I’m still alive and doing well all thanks to the Marian Heart Center.” Today, more than 18 years after his cardiac surgery, there is no question that Mark is living life to the fullest. His genuine smile, contagious positive vigor and vivacious presence still continue to captivate all those he comes into contact with. When asked about the secret to his longevity, Mark credits the sophisticated cardiac care he received from Marian Regional Medical Center, in addition to his loving wife Dorothy’s support, of course. “At the time we became involved with the building of the Marian Heart Center, I didn’t realize that I was contributing towards insurance for myself,” concludes Mark. “This is our community, our hospital and we all benefit from Marian’s strong programs and services. I am honored to encourage others to do as we did, and give for the future of the hospital and ultimately their own future. There is no investment more valuable than an investment in the health of the community – life literally depends on it. All I can say now is, ‘Thank you.’”

Ro bert I bsen A heart attack patient who never skipped a beat remained by his side throughout his entire stay at the medical center. During Dr. Ibsen’s procedure his family tried not to worry while counting the minutes in the waiting room. As expected, they were shaken, but it was a huge high sigh of relief once they were updated that Dr. Ibsen’s surgery finished under estimated time and he was doing well. “Everything happened so quickly; it was unbelievable,” recalls Marcy Ibsen, Dr. Ibsen’s wife. “Although it was extremely scary, I felt confident my husband was in the best of care and this is what pulled me through.”

Dr. Robert Ibsen credits the advanced care he received from the highly skilled nurses and physicians at Marian Regional Medical Center with saving his life.

February 7, 2011, started just like any other day until Robert Ibsen D.D.S. asked his wife for two things – an aspirin and an ambulance. As a respected cosmetic dentistry pioneer, Dr. Ibsen has been perfecting smiles for more than 50 years. With his vast medical knowledge and decades of experience, he has long known the symptoms of a heart attack and knew the lifesaving importance of prompt medical attention. “I just knew something was wrong,” remembers Dr. Ibsen. “I felt a bilateral dull ache, my muscles were tight and would not release. My immediate thought was that I needed to get an ambulance. I knew that a higher percentage of heart attack patients who do not call an ambulance don’t make it. I needed to make it.” Paramedics arrived in record time and Dr. Ibsen was immediately taken to Marian Regional Medical Center. Upon arrival, the Marian Emergency Department team quickly moved Dr. Ibsen to the hospital’s cardiac catheterization laboratory and within a matter of minutes surgery plans were initiated. That same morning, Cardiologist Dr. Bruce Ourieff performed the successful surgical procedure of inserting a stent into the fully blocked artery leading to Dr. Ibsen’s heart. Not only was Dr. Ibsen’s cardiac emergency frightening for him, it was also traumatic for his wife and children who

Following surgery Dr. Ibsen was taken to the hospital’s Critical Care Unit for his recovery, although he didn’t need much down time for healing. Shortly after the procedure, he was back to his normal self and was doing his best to humor his hospital visitors and nurse caregivers. “The procedure was easier than when I put veneers on my patients,” adds Dr. Ibsen with a laugh. “I mean it. It was simple with no pain at all. ” For many, experiencing a heart attack and undergoing cardiac surgery is a serious life changing event. Although Dr. Ibsen’s experience was indeed a serious health concern, the prompt, high level of care he received by Marian’s expert physicians and health care professionals coupled with his successful surgery allowed Dr. Ibsen to be discharged the following day. Without delay, Dr. Ibsen went straight from the hospital to a hair cut appointment and even went into the office to follow up on work – he quite literally did not miss a beat. “When it comes to cardiac treatment, time is critical and having a nearby hospital with advanced technology and professional competency makes a difference,” affirms Dr. Ibsen. “Less than 70 minutes elapsed from calling the ambulance and completion of the placement of the stent. And only six hours later I was moved from intensive care to a regular room for observation. I had a heart attack. I have zero heart damage. I am sincerely grateful.” Post discharge, Dr. Ibsen became a patient of Marian’s Cardiac Rehabilitation Monitoring Program where he attended educational health classes and followed an exercise maintenance program for three weeks. To this day, Dr. Ibsen still faithfully

completes his cardiac rehabilitation exercise regime at the Marian Health and Wellness Center and sings the praises of the cardiac rehabilitation staff for their skilled care. “We were deeply impressed by the overall high quality of care my dad and our family received at Marian,” expresses Noreen Freitas, Dr. Ibsen’s daughter. “I am a lucky daughter; lucky to still have both my parents alive and healthy.” Although Dr. Ibsen credits Marian physicians and nurses with saving his life, he also thanks his loving wife and daughter for providing him with the support needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle. At present, Dr. Ibsen is enjoying his retirement and

continues to further his passion of providing community members with confident, life changing smiles in addition to educating industry professionals about noninvasive methods of smile beautification. “I am truly blessed,” confesses Dr. Ibsen with a smile. “It’s all because of the advanced care I received from the highly skilled nurses and physicians at Marian, including Dr. Bruce Ourieff and Dr. Erin Erikson, that I am able to continue my (dentistry) ‘hobby’ that I enjoy so very much. Our community is so fortunate that all residents have access to health care that is unexcelled anywhere in the world; and it’s right here in our community.”

Paying Forward the Gift of Hope Tami Sonnabend’s inspiring journey of cancer patient to cancer patient mentor As a fitness instructor and yoga enthusiast, Tami Sonnabend has always strived to maintain her physical strength and health. On September 4, 2011, just one day after her and her husband’s eleventh wedding anniversary, her physical, mental and emotional strength was challenged when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She remembers the day she found a “little lump.” Her husband, Dr. Steven Sonnabend, a radiologist at Marian Regional Medical Center, suggested she get an ultrasound. He thought it was probably a cyst, especially since she was only 41 years of age, but as he performed the ultrasound on his wife, he knew immediately that it was much worse as the ultrasound revealed a tumor. “The look on my husband’s face was like nothing else and I knew right away that it was something,” remembers Tami. “No one expects to be diagnosed with cancer. Being a yoga instructor, being someone who always strived to be healthy, I just never thought I would be diagnosed with cancer.” In the midst of the most difficult time in their lives, the Sonnabends knew where to turn for medical care, support and comfort – Mission Hope Cancer Center, the first integrative cancer care facility in the region. “Tami’s cancer diagnosis and path of treatment was the most frightening thing I’ve ever been through,” explains Dr. Sonnabend. “To imagine that I may potentially lose my wife, my best friend, the mother of my children; it just shook me to my core. As a physician, I trusted the expertise of my colleagues at Mission Hope Cancer Center to care for my wife. I knew that the technology and resources at large metropolitan centers are no better than here. In addition, I knew they would support her, treating her as family and the human side of medicine is just as important as the science and technology aspects.” After a biopsy and MRI, the Sonnabends were told it was stage two breast cancer and within a week, Tami began chemotherapy treatment. After undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments, a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, Tami is now cancer free. In addition to her supportive family,

she credits her health and well being to her many “angels” at Mission Hope Cancer Center who cared for her all while remaining close to home. “It was such a blessing that I didn’t need to travel hours by car or fly across the country for expert physicians and the best in care,” explains Tami. “I felt such exhaustion during treatments; I couldn’t imagine having to travel to another area. If I would have gone to a big city facility I would have received the same treatment, but not the same exceptional love.” In addition to helping Tami, Mission Hope Cancer Center and Marian Cancer Care provided the Sonnabends with the support and resources needed to help their two young children. At the time of Tami’s diagnosis and treatments her son, Noah, was eight years old and her daughter, Hana, was five years old. It was important for her children to understand what was happening to Tami as they came to realize that their mother was becoming increasingly fatigued and losing her hair due to chemotherapy treatments. At the start of Tami’s cancer journey, Marian Cancer Care connected Tami with a very special mentor who offered support in the form of understanding and hope. This fellow breast cancer survivor and dear friend of Tami’s is Kristin Alexander. Kristin

helped Tami in a way that physicians could not. She offered first hand advice and shared her inspirational cancer experience with Tami, which provided much comfort and hope to Tami. Just as she was guided by Kristin, Tami is now a yoga instructor and mentor to more than a dozen cancer patients and caregivers who participate in her yoga exercise class at Mission Hope Cancer Center. “Mentorship was a true gift that I received at a time when I needed it most. I feel this is all part of God’s plan and now I want to give this empowering gift of hope to other cancer patients. I want to share how healthy and happy I am now to show them that they too will get through this.” Tami isn’t the only one in the Sonnabend family now paying it forward. Tami’s cancer journey has also positively influenced her husband’s perspective when interacting with patients.

“There is no question that this experience has made me a better physician. When I look at my patients and their families, I now and see my wife, my children and myself,” explains Dr. Sonnabend. “I try to give them hope by sharing our experience to reassure them that they are not alone.” Although difficult, the Sonnabends agree that Tami’s cancer journey has made their family more united. “Now, life is about looking forward,” explains Tami with a smile. “Now I feel complete getting back to being a wife and mommy again. Life is a gift and I feel so honored to share my experience with my yoga class participants and all of the facility’s cancer patients. Ultimately, I want to thank the many angels at Mission Hope Cancer Center: the physicians, nurses, techs and even the fellow patients who helped me. Now my angels are the women I mentor – they keep me going and keep me looking forward.”

Cancer Affects the Whole Family A diagnosis of cancer affects the entire family and when a parent is diagnosed with cancer children deal with it in different ways. Research shows that young children often have difficulty understanding cancer and express anxiety or emotional distress. Marian Cancer Care and Mission Hope Cancer Center are proud to offer support services to parents, children and families in order to successfully cope with the effects of cancer. When I was first diagnosed with cancer I had so many questions and so many concerns. Of course my children and family were at the top of my priorities. I was worried that my two young children would have difficulty understanding what was happening to their mommy and I was concerned that they would experience anxiety

M eet M issi o n H o pe Can cer Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s M ed i cal O n co lo g ists The fight against cancer can be a long, difficult battle. The coordination of medical care provided by an expert medical oncologist is vital to overcoming the many medical and emotional challenges cancer patients face. The role of medical oncologists is more than just treating cancer, ordering tests and prescribing medications. These special physicians offer crucial support to cancer patients and provide care from the moment of diagnosis, throughout treatment and even survivorship.

Wo rki n g To g eth er to En han ce th e Pati ent Experi en ce Marian Cancer Care Advisory Committee The Marian Foundation Board of Directors identified Marian Cancer Care programs and services as a significant priority with the establishment of the Cancer Care Advisory Committee of the Foundation Board in the fall of 2011. The creation of the committee devoted specifically to identifying cancer funding needs and developing plans to provide for those needs was the outcome of several years of discussion between Robert Dichmann, M.D., Medical Director the Oncology Services and founder of Mission Hope Cancer Center, and Charles J. Cova, President and CEO of Marian Regional Medical Center.

The committee was structured thoughtfully and deliberately to incorporate representation from cancer patients and families, along with the Marian Cancer Care team and Foundation leaders. Patient and family feedback is vital to Marianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to providing patient and family centered careâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;modeling the delivery of care around the needs of patient and family.

To obtain Trauma Center Designation, Marian had to achieve strict standards and demonstrate that the facility is staffed and equipped to provide comprehensive, lifesaving trauma care. As a designated Level III Trauma Center, Marian has resources to specialists for emergency resuscitation, surgery and intensive care for trauma patients. In addition, designated Level III Trauma Centers have transfer agreements with Level I and Level II Centers that provide back-up resources for the care of exceptionally severe injuries. “With the opening of the new, state-of-the-art hospital and expanded modern Emergency Department, Marian now has the facilities necessary to meet the increased demand required for trauma patients,” explains Charles J. Cova, Marian President and CEO. “To earn trauma center designation, Marian had to demonstrate the high level of care provided to patients by our expert surgeons, facility physicians and highly-skilled health care professionals. Trauma center designation will improve medical care for all Marian patients by providing patients with access to top-notch specialists and ultimately elevating the quality of care for all.”

Single-Site™ da Vinci® surgeries are virtually scarless procedures since surgery is performed through only one incision in the naval (belly button) and dramatically limits visible scarring. Unlike traditional robotic surgeries requiring three to five small incisions, this sophisticated robotic technology allows for a single incision in the belly button where instruments are placed and the gallbladder is removed. “Gallbladder removal is one of the nation’s most common minimally invasive procedures and Single-Site™ da Vinci® surgery is now taking this common procedure to a new level by making

Benefits of Single-Site™ da Vinci® surgery: • Minimal scarring • Minimal pain • Low blood loss • Quick recovery • Decreased hospital length of stay • High patient satisfaction

Sue Sword A local philanthropic pioneer and the heart of Santa Maria Valley charitable giving Not long after arriving in Santa Maria, Sue married her husband of nearly 50 years, Erl Julian Sword, and began working for the Hancock enterprises. For more than 50 years, Sue was a devoted employee, faithful financial advisor and dear friend to the Hancocks. Marian Hancock quickly recognized Sue’s intelligence and high level of professionalism, which led to Sue’s eventual rise to the position of President of the Santa Maria Valley Railroad. Even to this day, Sue holds the distinction of serving as the only female president of a short line railroad west of the Mississippi. Although Marian noticed many professional qualities in Sue, she also valued Sue’s giving heart and their shared love of philanthropy.

Sue Sword, Marian Foundation Board member and Co-Trustee of the Marian Mullin Hancock Charitable Trust.

When it comes to charitable giving throughout the Santa Maria Valley, there is no name better recognized than that of Sue J. Sword. As the Co-Trustee of the Marian Mullin Hancock Charitable Trust, it is Sue who has continued Captain Allan and Marian Hancock’s local philanthropic leadership. In addition to furthering the Hancock’s tradition of charitable giving, Sue has also built her own legacy of philanthropy and volunteerism – all in order to boldly shape a better world. Over the years, Sue has helped establish Santa Maria’s philanthropy scene and has remained at the forefront of local altruistic giving efforts since moving to Santa Maria in 1945. It was nearly 70 years ago when Sue decided to make Santa Maria her home. She describes her move from Texas to Santa Maria as a simple one and recalls, “I moved to Santa Maria to be closer to my sister who at the time was a nurse at the hospital, then known as Sisters’ Hospital. I came to Santa Maria and fell in love with the community so I stayed and made it my home.”

As a local leader of philanthropic giving, Sue has established a record of exceptional generosity and charitable responsibility. By serving on countless community boards and with an endless list of philanthropic achievements and honors, it is evident that Sue has committed her life to investing in positive community change and expansion. She has long supported just about every civic and nonprofit organization in the greater Santa Maria Valley from Marian Regional Medical Center to the Santa Maria Valley Boys and Girls Club, to the YMCA, Allan Hancock College and every large and small organization in between. Sue served on the Marian Hospital Community Board and also served as one of the founding members of the Marian Foundation Board. Since the Marian Foundation Board’s inception in 1982, she has also served faithfully over the years by participating in the board finance and policy committees. To this day, Sue continues to serve as an Honorary Marian Foundation Board Member and devotedly attends Foundation board meetings and events. “There is no denying that Sue is an exceptional woman, an innovative philanthropist and committed community leader,” explains Georganne Ferini, a close friend of Sue’s and fellow community advocate. “Due to her involvement and support of Marian Regional Medical Center and countless other causes, she has become a key player in the many successes of and improvements in our community. Sue is a woman who will go the extra mile to honor her commitments and her work is evident of her selfless passion to help others.”

The importance of building a foundation for future giving

her great admiration and respect for her longtime cardiologist, Dr. Ram K. Setty.

Despite Sue’s lifetime of philanthropic service, she’s far from done. In 1993, Sue became a founding member of the Marian Foundation’s Legacy Society by including Marian Regional Medical Center in her estate planning as the Sue J. Sword Heart Center Endowment Fund. She has dedicated her planned endowment gift to the Marian Heart Center due to

Through the Marian Legacy Society, the Foundation expresses gratitude to those, like Sue, who have included Marian in their estate planning. Furthermore, Sue has long been a supporter of the Foundation’s need to establish and maintain an endowment to ensure a revenue stream for the future needs of the medical center. In fact, it was her visionary leadership and wisdom

that played a significant role in the creation of the Foundation’s operating policies to steward growth of endowment funds. Her generosity has provided significant support to every major capital endeavor throughout the Foundation’s history. Most recently, Sue supported the Cornerstone Campaign to build the new hospital and in tribute to her generosity the colonnade outside the hospital main entrance is named in her honor. When asked about her motivation for building her own legacy of giving and why she felt compelled to identify the Marian Regional Medical Center Foundation as a deferred gift beneficiary, Sue offers, “The hospital is close to my heart. Marian Regional Medical Center stands for our community and the care they provide touches everyone. It’s very fulfilling knowing that the work they do and the contributions made will further advance care and benefit the future people of Santa Maria.”

A gift unlike any other Although Sue and Marian Hancock both shared a love of charitable giving, they also shared a love of music – especially an admiration for baby grand pianos. Sue is quite familiar with making donations to the hospital and other charitable organizations, but for this particular donation she knew it would take more than writing a check. She eagerly conducted research on baby grand pianos and then shared her idea of this special gift with hospital leaders. “I wanted to provide a gift for the new hospital that everyone would enjoy. One day I thought that’s it – a baby grand piano for the hospital’s front lobby,” explains Sue. “Music is powerful. I wanted to provide a gift that provided soothing and comforting relief to patients and those visiting the hospital.” Now patients, their families and hospital staff take great listening pleasure in the peaceful and relaxing sounds of the newly donated baby grand piano. This beautiful and pristine piano plays classical melodies four times a day and fittingly stands just outside the chapel doors on the first floor of the new hospital as the shining star of the “Sue Sword Colonnade.” When asked what she believes Marian Hancock would say to see her work and the present Marian Regional Medical Center, Sue tenderly smiles and adds, “She would be very, very pleased and would probably say, ‘My Susie is keeping things going.’ She would be truly elated to know that I was carrying things forward. As for Marian Regional Medical Center, she had a specific vision for the hospital and community health care. Seeing the new hospital today and knowing all the services the medical center offers our community, I know she would feel as if all her dreams came true.”

Sue Sword with Dr. Ram Setty, has included the Marian Heart Center in her estate planning by establishing the Sue J. Sword Heart Center Endowment Fund in honor of her longtime cardiologist, Dr. Setty.

Sue goes on to modestly explain that it is her mission and sincerest hope to foster philanthropy for the greater good of the community. She believes in the same philosophy as Marian Hancock, that charitable giving builds and strengthens a community. “I want to inspire others to also support our organizations. But it’s about more than giving,” states Sue. “It’s about getting involved. Taking an interest in community organizations and volunteering. This is not only beneficial for fellow community members, it is also truly gratifying. I have seen so many changes over the years and have enjoyed every moment of it. There is no better feeling than to be involved in your community and to make a difference in the lives of others.” On behalf of Marian Regional Medical Center and the community at large, the Marian Foundation would like to express heartfelt gratitude to Sue for her legacy of service and generosity. Her unwavering belief in the medical center’s work is genuine and from the heart. Sue’s friendship and support of Marian Regional Medical Center is a special gift which will be forever treasured.

Reco rd Levels o f Vo lu nteer Servi ce Volunteer Services is reaching new heights with a new record of more than 500 volunteers. During the month of June 2013 alone, these volunteers have served for over 1,500 volunteering shifts and have contributed more than 6,700 hours. In the upcoming year, Volunteer Services will strive to maintain this positive growth through a focus on the continued recruitment of volunteers for our priority service areas as well as the retention of the wonderful volunteers who are already serving. Even with these record numbers, opportunities are still open for those interested in serving Marian’s patients, families and guests, and flexible schedules, including evening and weekend shifts, are available. Applications for adult volunteers are accepted year round with orientations held each month. In addition to the adult volunteers, many local teens are also serving. In June 2013, more than 150 teens—the largest number ever participating—were welcomed into the Summer 2013 Volunteen Program. This Program gives students great exposure to the health care field and the ability to serve their community while they’re not in school. A School Year Program for teens is also offered and will start in early September, and applications for the School Year Program will be accepted through the end of August. The time and talents that each of Marian’s volunteers give is greatly appreciated, and the service they provide is an invaluable contribution to cultivating an ideal healing environment of compassion and care at Marian. For more information about both adult and teen programs, please call the Volunteer Office at (805) 739-3520 or visit the Volunteer Information page at www.marianmedicalcenter. org/Volunteer_Information.

Funding the Future of Surgical Care Friends at The Wood Claeyssens Foundation (WCF)have provided a generous grant of $600,000 to fund the Robotic Surgery Program. The WCF has a history of faithful support for Marian programs and services, including the Cornerstone Campaign to fund the new hospital building project. This recent gift for Robotic Surgery funds the provision of the new minimally-invasive surgical technology, including the da Vinci Surgical System. This technology allows for better patient outcomes, including shorter recovery times; less scarring, reduced risk of infection, and blood loss, and significantly less pain for the patient. For physicians, the state-of-the-art technology offers unparalleled precision, enhanced dexterity, and superior visualization. The da Vinci can be used for prostate, kidney, hysterectomy, gynecologic oncology, colorectal, acid reflux, weight loss, and lung surgeries.

Th e J o u rn ey o f Sai nt Fran cis Saint Francis of Assisi has a special place in Marian Regional Medical Center (Marian) history. Saint Francis is the patron of the Sisters of Saint Francis of Penance and Christian Charity, Marian’s founding sponsors. He is known as the model of brotherly love for all creation—a model that all members of the Marian family commit to model in our human compassion and kindness for all we serve.

This special Saint Francis was created by Reto Demetz of the Demetz Studio of Ortisei, Italy, an internationally recognized creator of religious art. The stone from which Francis was crafted was taken from the ranges of Carrara, Italy—the same region from which Michelangelo secured the marble he used to create his great works like the Pieta, now displayed in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.

This summer a special Francis was welcomed to the Marian campus thanks to the generosity of the Robert and Marcia Ibsen family, and to the vision of Sister Patricia Rayburn, OSF, Provincial Minister for the Sisters of Saint Francis. When the new hospital was nearing completion, the Sisters felt a Francis of some stature was called for against the large scale of the facility. In Sister Pat’s words, “A Francis that is a comforting, healing presences to all who enter the campus.”

The creation of this likeness commenced in November of 2011 and was completed in June of 2012. He weighs 10, 150 pounds. He was transported by boat from Italy to Long Beach, California, and continued by ground transport to Santa Maria. He was placed at the entrance to the Marian campus on Saturday, July 13, 2013.

A likeness that modeled the Saint Francis known to Gubio, Italy was selected. As the story goes, a fierce wolf was terrorizing the village of Gubio. Seeking out this wild wolf, Saint Francis approached him, quietly calling him, “Brother wolf” and gently tamed him to become a guardian and protector of the people of Gubio. Hence, the likeness of Saint Francis as guardian and protector to all patients, families and visitors entering Marian enjoy the peaceful welcome of his safe and comforting presence.

The Ibsen Family provided the gift to create Saint Francis in honor of the Sisters of Saint Francis and their health care ministry at Marian Regional Medical Center. The Sisters, and all members of the Marian family extend their tremendous gratitude to Robert and Marcia Ibsen and Family for their friendship and support of Marian’s healing work. This beautiful likeness will forever serve as a comforting healing presence to all who enter the Marian campus.
