ome philanthropists are born with Cedars-Sinai in their blood. Others are
drawn to our Medical Center by a breakthrough technology or compassionate
program. For 108 years, an active community of donors has provided the funds
and leadership to guarantee that each new generation receives unparalleled care.
Kaspare Cohn initiated a venerable tradition of giving on September 21, 1902.
As the community’s leading Jewish philanthropist, he lent his fortune and his
name to the hospital. In the intervening decades, Cohn’s gift evolved into Cedars
of Lebanon, which together with Mount Sinai Hospital later formed the modernday Cedars-Sinai Medical Center that we cherish today. The Jewish community of
Los Angeles has carried us proudly and unhesitatingly through a Depression, two
world wars, and a dynamic medical landscape.
Among our extraordinary donors are families who provide leadership across
multiple generations. By way of example, Cedars-Sinai’s first chairman of the
“For 108 years, an active community of donors has provided the funds and
leadership to guarantee that each new generation receives unparalleled care.”
Board was followed in later years by a son who forged a leadership legacy all his
own. Now a grandson contributes his time and vision to the Board of Governors.
Volunteers are the soul of our institution. Decades ago, one founder of the
Helping Hand gift shop encouraged her niece to join in the good works. The girl
grew up to be a champion of medical causes from neurosurgery to pediatrics. Her
altruism has enabled Cedars-Sinai to make great strides in research and clinical care.
To a considerable degree, Cedars-Sinai’s national reputation comes from the
life-giving work that is made possible by donor funding. In turn, our premier
programs draw more donors, eager to contribute to the healing of a global
community. In these pages, for example, you will read about a couple who
sought out Cedars-Sinai because it offers the nation’s most promising programs
for research into and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
From young people seeking to make a positive impact, to longstanding allies
who remember when Cedars-Sinai bore different names, our donors are our
inspiration. They power a benevolent cycle of giving, research, patient care, new
growth, and renewed giving.
I am excited to step into my new role as chairman of the Board with such
passionate collaborators at my side. The indelible support of our community will
continue to help us meet the challenges and opportunities of a changing healthcare
environment. The strong generational partnerships we have forged will guide
Cedars-Sinai to a position of national and international prominence that would
make our grandparents proud—and that will keep our grandchildren healthy.

roving that forward-thinking
philanthropy is always at the
height of fashion, Cedars-Sinai and
Bloomingdale’s have joined forces to
promote the mission of the Women’s
Heart Center: to combat the leading threat
to women’s health—heart disease—
through gender-specific research and
education.
On August 4, 2010, the Cedars-Sinai
Heart Institute’s Women’s Heart Center
was the beneficiary of a VIP gala
celebrating the powerhouse partnership at
Bloomingdale’s new store in the recently
remodeled Santa Monica Place.
In attendance was an influential array
of special guests who infused the event
with a potent dose of star power: Barbra
Streisand—the honorary event chair for
the evening—and husband James Brolin,
Diane Keaton, and designer Donna Karan.
Young pianist Eric “ELEW” Lewis dazzled
the crowd with wildly creative renditions of both old and new tunes.
Guests had the opportunity to explore the elegant new department store,
designed in a manner that artfully combines the airy influence of the
beach with Bloomingdale’s creative juxtaposition of luxurious and
industrial design elements.
“Bloomingdale’s is proud to align with [Women’s Heart Center
Director] Dr. Noel Bairey Merz’s innovative work in gender-specific heart
research and treatment—and her passion for empowering all women to
know more about their heart health,” says Anne Keating, senior vice
president of public relations for Bloomingdale’s Special Events and
Corporate Philanthropy, adding that the cause of gender-specific heart
health and the research led by Dr. Bairey Merz were an intuitive match
for the company. “This particular work is important to not only the
Bloomingdale’s shopper, but to women everywhere. We are proud to
help this issue receive the attention it deserves.”
Dr. Bairey Merz explains why the pairing is particularly inspired:
“Our partnership is a true win-win phenomenon. The Women’s Heart
Center receives the critically important support needed to help women
reduce their chances of heart disease, and Bloomingdale’s receives the
well-deserved recognition for taking this bold step—one that impacts
every woman in our community, the nation, and around the world.”
Culture of Caring
T
hroughout the year, Cedars-Sinai’s community health programs
deliver vital services to the city’s most vulnerable populations.
At Spanish-language station Telemundo’s recent annual health fair
alone, Cedars-Sinai’s team of 120 volunteers assisted more than 3,000 people.
Nurse practitioner Sylvia Estrada, RN—a board member of the
Los Angeles chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses—
recruited eight nurses to join the bilingual members of Cedars-Sinai’s
team in ensuring the event’s many non-English-speaking participants
would be able to communicate their health concerns.
Cedars-Sinai also brought its two COACH for Kids and Their Families®
mobile medical units, which provided H1N1 vaccines, blood pressure and
diabetes education and screening, nutrition and dental counseling, and a
variety of health education activities for children.
The health fair drew 20,000 people, about half of whom were uninsured,
according to Telemundo’s Patricia Buchanan.
Although a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
showed that the life expectancy for U.S. Hispanics exceeds that of white or
black populations by years, Hispanics continue to suffer from diabetes and
heart disease at higher rates than whites. While Hispanic death rates from
those diseases are lower than that of most other groups, prevention, early
diagnosis, and treatment remain essential for improved quality of life.
“Our screenings make it possible to identify problems such as diabetes
or hypertension before they get out of control,” Estrada notes, “and we
make referrals to help people get the follow-up care they need.”
Cedars-Sinai’s team of volunteers provided health screenings for 3,000 people at the Telemundo health fair.
“Circle of

Setting ‘A Positive’ Example
Barry Eisen has donated
nearly 21 gallons of blood
over the past three decades.
A
few days before Barry Eisen’s first daughter was born at CedarsSinai in 1981, he decided to donate blood—just in case his wife,
Nancy, or brand-new baby experienced complications and needed
a transfusion. Luckily, Barry and his wife welcomed their healthy newborn,
Erin, into the world without any problems. Still, the experience left Barry
feeling proud—and not just because of the newest addition to the family.
“I knew the blood wouldn’t be wasted,” he says. “I knew it would save
a life or help a person through a difficult situation. I immediately realized
that I had made a difference and how important it was to donate blood.”
Barry, a successful motivational speaker, approaches most things in life
with enthusiasm, and this was no exception: He began donating blood
routinely at the hospital’s Rita and Taft Schreiber Blood Donor Facility. He
is a pint short of reaching 21 gallons of blood, a feat that earned him a
place on the facility’s Wall of Honor. The wall showcases those who have
donated more than three gallons of blood and platelet donors who have
made 24 or more donations. One gallon of blood is equivalent to eight
donations. This means Barry has given blood a whopping 168 times.
The Blood Donor Facility currently receives approximately 8,500
donations annually, a number that makes it far from self-sufficient. The
mobile community blood collection program adds another 5,600
4
CATALYST WINTER 2011
donations, but that still isn’t enough. The facility relies heavily on blood
from the American Red Cross and other organizations that supplement the
Medical Center’s need for blood products.
Christine Bales, manager of donor services in the Division of
Transfusion Medicine, estimates that the number of donations would need
to double for Cedars-Sinai to have enough blood to cover the needs of its
patients. “The number one reason people don’t donate blood is because
they haven’t been asked or haven’t been personally motivated by a family
member or friend in need,” she explains.
Complex procedures such as liver transplants require up to 150 units of
blood, and trauma patients sometimes need as much as 50 units of blood.
Unfortunately, blood has a limited shelf life of 42 days before it expires, so
there is a constant need to replenish the supply.
With strict FDA-regulated guidelines on who can donate — to ensure
blood safety — only about 65 percent of the population is eligible to give
blood. Yet in Los Angeles, only about 2 percent of those who are eligible to
give blood actually do.
“It’s a very personal thing to ask,” says Christine. “You are giving a part
of yourself to a stranger — that’s a very intimate and profound act.”
That is exactly what has kept Barry coming back for nearly three
decades. “You don’t even know the impact you might have on someone,
but it’s the ultimate giving experience,” he says. “And you know someone
will be grateful for it.”

N
orman Schulman, MD, died at home on
April 16, 2010, at the age of 68. He was
chief of staff at Cedars-Sinai and chairman
of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
at Cedars-Sinai Medical Group until his life was
taken all too soon by stomach cancer. Colleagues
described him as “one of our greatest
ambassadors of good will.”
“Dr. Schulman has been a loving friend to this
community, to his second family, the Cedars-Sinai
Medical Group, and to thousands of patients,” said
Thomas D. Gordon, chief executive officer of the
Cedars-Sinai Medical Delivery Network. “His
unwavering commitment to his patients and to all
of us is something that will stay with us forever.”
An active leader in his professional
community, Dr. Schulman earned his medical degree
at Chicago Medical School, completed his residency
at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, and
conducted his research fellowship at University of
Health Sciences, Chicago Medical School. He
joined the Cedars-Sinai medical staff in 1974.
A member of the Cedars-Sinai Board of
Directors and the Medical Executive Committee,
Dr. Schulman was selfless both at home and in his
career, always putting family first, but also giving
personal attention to his patients and their
growing families. He volunteered his extra time
to help shape the framework of Cedars-Sinai
through important committee work.
Dr. Schulman is survived by his wife of 23
years, Stephanie; his two daughters, Marisa and
Jennifer; his son, Matthew; his mother, Florence;
his twin brother, Carl, and sister-in-law, Helga; his
sister, Alaine; and his brother-in-law, Michael. He
was also the father of the late Adam Schulman.
To honor the memory of this man whose
generosity touched many, inside and outside of
the Medical Center, his family has set up the
Norman Schulman Education Fund, which benefits
education efforts in the Department of Surgery.

The Major Catalyst
Shelley and Herb Lazarus
keep their son’s memory
alive by supporting the
battle against pulmonary
disease.

CATALYST WINTER 2011
Remembering Robert
T
he chest X-ray Robert David
Lazarus underwent that
summer of 1979 was just
a routine requirement for starting
college— except that it revealed the
outgoing, boyishly handsome 18-yearold had a Hodgkin’s lymphoma on
his heart.
Two surgeries and 30 days of
radiation treatment later, Robert
finally began classes at the University
of Denver, where he went on to
become student body president. After
graduation, he launched a successful
career in cable television, then
moved on to further success in the
dot-com industry.
Cancer-free and healthy for more
than two decades, Robert started
experiencing shortness of breath
around his 40th birthday. The radiation
that saved his life as a teenager had
also caused irreparable lung damage.
For the next three years, he
battled diminishing lung capacity
with regular visits to Cedars-Sinai
for pulmonary rehabilitation. There
he founded and led a support group
for patients with pulmonary disease.
Sadly, his lung tissue was too
damaged to support a transplant,
and Robert died in March 2005, at
age 43. The support group honored
him by placing an empty chair in
their circle, a tradition that continues
to this day.
“The emotional and physical
support Robert received from the
group and from the staff in the
rehabilitation unit was tremendous,”
says Shelley Lazarus, Robert’s mother.
She is an award-winning artist and
one of the founders of The Artists’
Gallery (TAG) in Santa Monica’s
Bergamot Station. “They encouraged
him, befriended him, and were there
for him in every way.”
S
helley and her husband, Herb
Lazarus, started a memorial
fund to raise money for the
rehabilitation unit, which they have
supported in part with sales of
Shelley’s art. Earlier this year, they
made a planned gift to Cedars-Sinai
to dedicate the facility to Robert. “In
part, we did this as a thank you to
the hospital,” says Herb, who is
president of international distribution
at Carsey-Werner. “But we were really
trying to keep Robert’s name in the
community where people would be
getting help for pulmonary disease.”
The country-style home in
Woodland Hills where Shelley and
Herb raised their three sons— Sid,
Robert, and Michael— brims with
memories of family life and 54 years
of marriage. The family moved into
the four-bedroom house when Robert
was a 12-year-old Boy Scout after
Herb’s job moved them from New
York to Los Angeles.
The walls are covered in art, much
of it created by Shelley. In the family
room hangs a large portrait of Robert
that Shelley painted shortly after he
died. In the beautifully rendered

name in the community where people would
be getting help for pulmonary disease.”

painting, Robert sits in a chair on his
terrace talking into a phone while his
dog looks out from a doorway. What’s
especially moving is the portrait’s
perspective: Shelley painted her son
as if she were standing behind him.
“I couldn’t paint his face,” Shelley
says. “In fact, I saved his hair for last
and had a problem painting that.”
L
ooking artfully chic in her
chunky jewelry and paintspattered smock, Shelley is
a quietly nurturing woman who
keeps a child-sized easel for her
granddaughter in her studio. In
memory of Robert, who had a Picasso
peace dove tattooed onto his left
ankle, the grandmother of two got the
same tattoo on hers.
Herb cuts a trim and more
traditional figure in his tucked-in
golf shirt. Not surprisingly, he opted
against the memorial tattoo. Herb is
a great fan of Shelley’s art, not letting
his colorblindness interfere with his
enjoyment of it. He admits to being
disappointed when she moved
his favorite watercolor out of the
bathroom. “I liked to look at it when
I shaved,” he says. “I always saw
something new.”
An avid reader of mystery novels,
Herb also takes pleasure in a good
joke, even at his own expense. He
describes Robert as “a bit of a
prankster” and lights up at the
recollection of how his son once
coached co-workers at Turner Pictures
to pretend they were in an earthquake
during a teleconference with their
Atlanta bosses. “He had everyone
bouncing around, acting like it was
nothing, while everyone on the other
side was freaking out,” Herb says
with a laugh.
Shelley and Herb were not
surprised when Robert announced he
was gay after returning from college.
Shelley describes Robert’s 16-year
relationship with John Ferraro, a
former Paramount Pictures movie
executive turned independent
producer, as “the best marriage in
our family, a true love affair.”
“John turned out to be the best
man in the world,” Herb adds. “He
was with Robert every day, managed
his medications, and was devoted to
him— and for that we adore John.”
One week before he died, Robert
told John and his parents that he
wanted to be buried at Hollywood
Forever Cemetery and asked them to
mark his grave with an obelisk. In a
treasured spot in the family room is a
framed photo of John standing beside
the monument, which is etched with
the words: “Loved by John.”

"We want our contribution to play
at least a small part in isolating the genes
that contribute to this disease."
— BILL AND JANIS WETSMAN
The Philanthropic Spark
Reliable treatment for
Crohn’s disease remains
hidden deep in our genes
and in the complex
chemistry of the immune
system. A visionary
couple’s commitment to
funding basic medical
research may help find it.
A
s much as they wish it
were not so, Bill and Janis
Wetsman understand there
is no silver bullet for Crohn’s
disease, a devastating ailment that
has struck their family. Both Janis
and a grown son have endured
years of complications from Crohn’s,
one of a number of conditions
collectively known as inflammatory
bowel disease (IBD).
Crucial to finding that silver
bullet— or even a more reliable
treatment— is answering a
fundamental question: Why can
most humans coexist with millions
of microbes while IBD patients
experience debilitating problems
as their immune systems try to
respond to certain agents?
Answers may lie in basic research,
in scientific inquiry that occurs in the
less colorful corners of modern
medicine, where the pace is normally
8
CATALYST WINTER 2011
slow, results are unpredictable, and
private funding rare.
But the Wetsmans are no ordinary
philanthropists. Well-acquainted with
the challenges facing IBD
researchers, they embarked on a
determined quest. “For seven or eight
years, we scoured the country for a
program involved in both basic
research into the causes of IBD and
in translating the findings into
improved treatment options,” Bill says.
“We reviewed and rejected a dozen
options. We did not give up easily.”
The perseverance paid off. In
Los Angeles, where they reside part
of the year, they met a talented young
researcher, David Underhill, PhD,
director of Cedars-Sinai’s Graduate
Program in Biomedical Sciences and
Translational Medicine. Dr. Underhill’s
cutting-edge findings in innate
immunity— how the body recognizes
microbial pathogens and mounts a
A License to Create
defense with inflammation— arose
from basic research. And, as it turns
out, these findings may lead to new
treatments for Crohn’s disease.
“There’s a rapidly growing
consensus that an altered innate
immune response is at the heart of
at least a subset of IBD cases,” says
Dr. Underhill. “My team’s research
hypothesizes that genetic variants
predispose certain families, like the
Wetsmans, to Crohn’s disease. If we
can identify what those variants are,
we may be able to cut off the
disease process in younger people,
before it can start.”
“There is no other place in the
United States where the three
elements of basic research, genetics,
and clinical trials are as welldeveloped or as well-integrated as
at Cedars-Sinai,” says Stephan R.
Targan, MD, director of the
Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center
and the Division of Gastroenterology
at Cedars-Sinai. “With the Wetsmans’
support, Dr. Underhill and his team
enjoy an endowment that allows
them to explore new ideas— to
be independent.”
A
s the Janis and William
Wetsman Family Chair in
Inflammatory Bowel
Disease, Dr. Underhill is one of more
than 50 Cedars-Sinai physicians and
scientists who have received this
highly coveted professional
recognition. For the chairs’
namesakes, it’s an opportunity to
align their philanthropic aspirations
with those of a scientific leader of
the highest caliber. For the chair
holder, it ensures perpetual funding
for promising lines of scientific
inquiry. “The Wetsmans’ chair gives
us a license to be creative,” explains
Dr. Underhill.
Creativity has long fired the
Wetsmans’ spirits. As newlyweds,
Bill and Janis toured the top
museums of New York, igniting her
now decades-long love of fine art
and a belief in its power to heal.
“I walked into an exhibition of
Picasso’s Rose Period at the Museum
of Modern Art and walked out a
changed person,” she says.
More than changed: inspired,
it seems. The effects of that
MoMA visit still reverberate in
the contributions, both large and
small, that Janis and Bill have since
made to the art world. Janis, a
board member of the Detroit
Institute of Arts, spends days each
month helping guide the museum
through tough times. As the owner
of a decorative arts gallery in
Birmingham, Michigan, for 14 years,
Janis has also introduced artists to
collectors and her friends to art.
For his part, Bill, as the owner
of a chain of movie houses, has
brought first-run movies to
generations of Midwesterners.
By Bob Rucker
W
ith her Crohn’s disease
in almost complete
remission, Janis now
hopes her son David, who lives in
Connecticut, can soon see the same
positive outcome. With new
treatment advances on the horizon
at Cedars-Sinai and elsewhere, the
Wetsmans have rekindled hope.
Their hope extends across
generations to four grandchildren.
Thankfully, none of them show
symptoms of Crohn’s disease.
“We want our contribution to
play at least a small part in isolating
the genes that contribute to this
disease,” Janis says. “If we’re lucky,
maybe they’ll find a way to turn off
the gene in newborns and avoid the
damage altogether.” Most of all, Janis
and Bill hope their gift will inspire
others to also fund the type of basic
medical research that leads to
treatments and cures.

To Protect and Serve ...
O
n a balmy evening in July
2010, a small squadron of
San Bernardino County
California Highway Patrol (CHP)
officers and dispatchers descended
upon the Chili’s® restaurant in the
city of Redlands. On this occasion,
their mission had nothing to do with
maintaining safety and order on the
road. Rather, they were about to
take orders — from Chili’s highly
surprised patrons.
The otherwise amusing sight of
these officers — who were now
wielding trays of baby back ribs and
fajitas instead of flashing lights and
citations — was, in fact, a very
serious fund-raising effort to honor
the memory of CHP Officer Victor
Quiroga, who lost his battle with
brain cancer on April 5, 2010.
When Victor’s colleague, Officer
Hope Maxson, asked his widow,
Karla Quiroga, how they might best
honor Victor’s memory, Karla did
not hesitate: She wanted to donate
to the research efforts being
conducted by Keith Black, MD,
Surasak Phuphanich, MD (who
treated Victor during his illness),
and other esteemed scientists and
neurosurgeons at Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center. The Chili’s fundraiser made it possible. According to
Karla, Chili’s contributed an
additional donation of 10 percent of
the proceeds collected that evening.
Officer Maxson laughs over her
recollection of that evening spent
waiting tables. “We got to interact
with all the customers, and they
were just so surprised to see an
Fajitas
By Julia Diddy
officer in uniform waiting on their
table,” she says. “It was quite funny!”
Karla agrees. She described some of
the participants as “these macho
men in their uniforms who don’t
even take out the trash at home for
their wives — and they waited tables!
That was very interesting to watch!”
K
arla knows that the studies
under way in Dr. Black’s
laboratories provided
Victor with valuable extra time. “For
20 years, glioblastomas came with a
death sentence within six months —
if you were lucky,” Karla explains.
“And now people are living years.
My husband lived two years. And
we owe it all to the research.”
The Chili’s fund-raising effort
went so well that the squadron,
known as the 860 Squad Club,
decided to make it into an annual
event. Victor’s family, friends, and
colleagues are pleased to have the
chance to carry on Victor’s legacy. “He
would have wanted us to keep
donating,” Karla says. The cause “will
be near and dear to the CHP officers.”
Hope Maxson shares that “Vic”
never failed to inspire and uplift
everyone around him. “He was just
such a funny guy. He had one of
those smart-alecky personalities,”
she recalls. “He was also dedicated
to this job, and dedicated to the
people he worked with. Even when
he had brain cancer, and he could
barely speak and was confined to a
wheelchair, he came to work. He
helped us out with every little thing
he could because he wanted to
come back to work so badly. He just
left us all really inspired.”

Benny Zafrani
Benny Zafrani was in Mammoth with his family in August 2009, when his 6-year-old son, Cody,
suddenly complained of bad headaches and became lethargic. Benny and his wife, Annah, cut the
vacation short and headed back to Los Angeles. An MRI performed at Cedars-Sinai revealed a mass in
Cody’s brain. He would need brain surgery to determine its cause and nature. Moise Danielpour, MD,
an expert pediatric neurosurgeon, performed the procedure, which revealed a cyst blocking the
normal spinal fluid pathway. Unsure if the cyst was a tumor, Dr. Danielpour had to act fast. He released the intracranial pressure and ultimately saved Cody’s life. Benny Zafrani vowed to support the
medical team that brought his son back to health. This year, he ran the LA Marathon, his first ever,
and raised more than $11,500 to support pediatric neurosurgery at Cedars-Sinai.
Scariest moment
Not knowing if the mass was benign was frightening. They told us the
surgery could last up to six hours. Just over an hour after Cody was taken
into the operating room, we were told Dr. Danielpour was coming out to talk
with us. Waiting for him was the longest 25 minutes of my life; there are
definitely grey hairs on my head from that moment. When he emerged and
gave us the good news that the operation was a success and that the mass
was benign, I vowed to support the pediatric neurosurgery program at
Cedars-Sinai.
White coats
to track suits
Annah and I committed to raise money for the pediatric neurosurgery brain
tumor research fund every year. I know in today’s economy people are struggling,
so if I was going to ask my family, friends, and colleagues to donate, I wanted to
do something special. So I decided to run my first marathon in my hometown.
Motivation
At mile 19, an existing injury forced me to limp the last seven miles in huge
pain. When I saw Cody at the finish line with a huge smile on his face, I got
all choked up. I probably wouldn’t have finished the race otherwise, but
those 26 miles don’t compare to the pressure a surgeon is under every day.
Payoff
It would have taken a lot longer to figure out what was wrong with Cody if
there hadn’t been an active program and expertise in the field. That’s what
helped raise the chances of a successful surgery for my son, because time
was of the essence in his case. Not everyone is as lucky as we were. Cody’s
cyst could come back, or it may never come back. Regardless, it’s important
to maintain the research component of the department to find new
alternatives for the future of pediatric neurosurgery.
Misconception
Proudest
Dad moment
Constant
reminder
A lot of people think running a marathon is hard, but it’s not. It’s the getting
up at 5:30 every morning and training that’s difficult. But I made a commitment
to myself to be healthy for my kids. Once you get to the start line and they
say ready, set, go—that’s the easy part.
I am so happy that I’ve raised two very kind, giving kids. They are both so
thoughtful. When we pull off the freeway and see homeless people, they
always ask if I have $2 to give them.
When I rub Cody’s head, I can still feel the bump where the plates are.
An event like this grounds you—it puts everything in perspective.

Co-founded 30 years ago by
Elaine Leader, PhD, CedarsSinai's TEEN LINE serves
primarily as a teen-to-teen
hotline aiding more than
10,000 troubled teenagers
every year. Volunteers do not
give advice but are taught how
to listen, clarify, define options,
and help callers make positive
decisions. The program’s
suicide prevention training is
part of the Los Angeles Police
Department’s juvenile officers’
curriculum. Over the past three
decades, TEEN LINE has
branched out to include an

This is a story
about fate, talent,
and opportunity.
It’s a true story—
and it’s stranger
than fiction.
Working in Dr. Julia Ljubimova's laboratory
and shadowing neurosurgeons such as
Dr. Keith Black helped George Hanna find his
professional passion and made the Gifted
Scholars Program exceed his expectations.

The Chance of a Lifetime
J
anuary 2009: George Hanna,
born 23 years ago at Cedars-Sinai,
wakes up in Cedars-Sinai’s
intensive care unit with six skull
fractures and significant hemorrhaging
near his right optic nerve after being
hit by a drunk driver. The neurocritical care team saves his life. George
makes a complete recovery, enters
medical school at St. Louis University
in Missouri, and applies for CedarsSinai’s Pauletta and Denzel Washington
Family Gifted Scholars Program in
Neuroscience. The summer scholarship
program, created by the awardwinning actor and his wife, enables
two recipients each year—one
undergraduate and one graduate
student—to work with worldrenowned physicians and scientists
in the neurosurgery research
laboratories at Cedars-Sinai. George
was chosen as the graduate-level
winner. The undergraduate recipient
was Joseph H. McAbee of Woodruff,
South Carolina. During the summer
of 2010—only six months after his
recovery—George was back at
Cedars-Sinai, working with the very
scientists, surgeons, and physicians
who, as he puts it, “gave me a second
chance at life.”
George, who graduated high school
at 16 and from UCLA with a 4.0 grade
point average, is a talented speaker. At
the Gifted Scholars award ceremony,
Pauletta and Denzel Washington, as
well as esteemed neurosurgeon
Keith L. Black, MD, delivered warm
and eloquent remarks. But George
By Eleanor Foa Dienstag
Hanna’s rousing acceptance
speech for this “once-in-a-lifetime”
opportunity had the audience
teary-eyed and on its feet.
B
orn to immigrant parents,
George is an academic
wunderkind, with a deep
passion for serving others. With
Dr. Black as his role model, he is
pursuing long and difficult training
that will prepare him for a career
that merges clinical research and
neurosurgery.
Since childhood, George has
been inspired and motivated by his
Egyptian-Sudanese father—a
surgeon and physical therapist—
who returns every year to Africa to
perform surgeries in impoverished
rural villages, often without
remuneration. “He showed me how
much impact you can have in your
own community,” says George. “I’ve
wanted to go into medicine and give
people their health back since
elementary school.”
His mother influenced the
direction of his medical career.
She suffers from fibromyalgia and
migraines, and is often in severe pain.
“When you see your mom suffering,
it really hurts you. So I wanted to
learn more about her illnesses.”
George grew up in Panorama City,
a multiethnic community northeast
of Los Angeles that he describes as
“underserved with regard to medical
access, medical care, and community
services.” He is fluent in Spanish and
nurtures the hope of one day
providing care for LA’s Latino and
African-American communities.
George knew of Dr. Black’s
reputation as a neurosurgeon long
before they met. “But I never
imagined I would be his patient, let
alone work with him.” Dr. Black
serves as chairman of the Department
of Neurosurgery and director of the
Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical
Institute and Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr.
Brain Tumor Center.
Pauletta and Denzel Washington
established the scholarship with
Dr. Black in 2004 to give promising
young scientists an opportunity to
acquire first-hand experience on
the front lines of patient care and
research. The program also helps
students in high schools and
colleges across the country garner
the excitement and rewards that
come from pursuing scientific
endeavors. Recipients are expected
to prepare a scientific abstract or
paper to submit to a national
neuroscience, cancer, or
neurosurgery organization.
F
or George, the experience
surpassed his expectations.
He worked in the laboratory
of Julia Y. Ljubimova, MD, PhD,
professor of Neurosurgery and
director of the drug delivery and
nanomedicine programs at the
Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical
Institute. The highly regarded
laboratory has been awarded three
major NIH grants. Its top-level
chemists, pharmacologists,
molecular biologists, and clinical
oncologists collaborate in a new
field, nanomedicine, with a new
class of cancer drugs designed to
break the blood-brain barrier to
efficiently treat brain tumors. As
Dr. Ljubimova puts it, “We are
pursuing the cancer treatment for
the 21st century.” Her goal for a
student in her lab is to leave “with
a passion to continue research and
to be a modern clinician.”
George, with his sharp mind and
great memory, has acquired that
passion. “This is the wave of the
future. Now I’m sure research in
blood-brain barrier drugs is what I
want to be involved in.”
He has also shadowed a number
of neurosurgeons, such as Dr. Black,
whose skill and compassion he
hopes to one day emulate. “He
always has wise words and advice.
He never gives up on his patients.
He offers the utmost respect to
everyone, and practices with
humility and compassion. Seeing
how he holds himself together even
when the prognosis is not good has
made me stronger.”
His professors have been so
impressed with George that they
invited him to apply to the PhD
program at Cedars-Sinai. “He’s
exactly the type of student that the
Gifted Scholars Program was
designed to mentor, motivate, and
help nurture,” says Dr. Black. “He
gave a remarkable presentation at
the end of his research experience
with Dr. Ljubimova. I have a lot of
respect for him. I think he has
significant potential, and we
certainly look forward to two years
from now when he will be applying
to neurosurgery programs and will
be a potential applicant for our
residency program.”
For a second-year medical student,
it doesn’t get much better than that.

National Volunteer Week
E
ach year, during National
Volunteer Week, CedarsSinai organizes
celebration luncheons to honor
and thank the numerous
volunteers who share their smiles
and dedicate their time to the
Medical Center and its patients.
This year’s theme centered
around real human interactions
in the modern world. “In a
world of technology, touching
people’s lives is the ‘real thing,’”
Barbara Leanse, director of
Volunteer Services, explains.
“Technology helps save lives
every day at the Medical Center,
but it cannot do what the
volunteers do—bring the
human touch and the warmth
to families and patients.”
A record 2,500 individuals
volunteered at the Medical
Center in the summer of 2010—
which included 600 teens, the
highest number of teen
volunteers to date. “These
teenagers walked away from
computers and put away their cell
phones to learn valuable lessons
about loyalty and compassion,”
said Leanse at the event.
These lessons are taught in
almost all areas of the hospital—
from the pediatric units, where
volunteers make children laugh,
to outside the operating rooms,
where family members need a
calm presence while waiting for
a surgeon to give them news of
their loved ones. Says Leanse,
“Every single volunteer plays a
very important role.”
