A Revolution in Cardiac Care
The MHVI Hybrid Imaging/Interventional/Surgical Suite is now complete
and providing enormous benefits for patients. Just ask Harriet Milam.
16 Making the 3-step Process Work
The first step is diagnosis, the second – treatment. The third step is crucial
– staying in treatment. This is the key to living with HIV. With the help of a
Philanthropic Friend, it is easier now for patients to stay in treatment at the
Bickerstaff Pediatric Family Center.
10 Medicine for the Soul
Ava Valdez loves her therapist, art therapist that is. Carrie Cottone provides
Ava with a fun, creative oasis during her many visits to the hospital for
treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
18 The Best Day Ever
Can you imagine never having tasted ice cream? That was true for Owen
Huang, 8, until he was treated, along with his sister, Cara, for allergies at the
Food Allergy Center of MCWHLB. Now Owen samples a different flavor
every chance he gets.
12 Becoming an Adult – A Time for Transition
Amazing strides have been made in the treatment of many childhood
diseases and conditions. So what happens when these children grow
into adulthood?
22 Lives Lived Well
14 So Much More Than a Job
Two new educational programs fulfill a need for trained health care
support staff, while providing jobs to those previously unemployed.
Dan and Barbara Kolat met Susan Melvin, DO, when Dr. Melvin was buying
her home. First they became friends, then Dr. Melvin became their physician.
They taught each other so much.

Annual Report 2013-2014 1
Message from the President
Dear Friends,
When our team discussed possible themes for this
Annual Report, we first decided on “Changing Lives,”
because it describes what happens daily on this
medical campus. Then, one member of the development
team noted that while this is true, it is important
to note that the transformed lives provide inspiration
for others to give.
Community members want to support the caregivers and their patients on
this campus by giving to medical education, research, patient programs and
capital investment. That eureka moment impacted our final decision as we
put both concepts together to create “Inspiring Philanthropy, Changing Lives”
as our theme – it truly does paint the bigger picture.
This past year marked the completion of 50 years in the history of our Foundation.
And it was a busy year.
We’ve previously written about the Hybrid Imaging/Interventional/Surgical
Suite being built in the MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute. Now that it
has opened, this high tech space is in high demand. Read about Harriet Milam
who went from having a narrowed aortic valve, which limited her activities,
to making plans to take horseback riding lessons – now that’s life changing.
We’ve shared many stories over the years about medical and nursing education,
but wait until you read the story beginning on page 14 about the successful
allied health training being done on this campus. With two successful programs,
we are fulfilling a patient care need and providing jobs for Long Beach residents
who had previously been without work. Talk about inspiring.
2 Annual Report 2013-2014
Last year we shared the story of the Gallegos family, whose challenges with
their son Matthew’s food allergies inspired them to fund the creation of the
pediatric Food Allergy Center. The story on page 18 follows the life-changing
care provided by that new center to the Huang children, who, like many other
families, have found transformational help overcoming food allergies.
Volunteer Joseph Cristina was inspired to give when he saw how families
from across the region struggled to get to their appointment at the Bickerstaff
Pediatric Family Center because of a lack of transportation. Through a grant from
the Joseph A. Cristina HIV/AIDS Children’s Fund, patients are able to keep their
appointments with donated bus tokens, Metrolink fare, gas cards and taxi fare.
We hope that the story of Dan and Barbara Kolat will inspire you to consider
naming the Memorial Medical Center Foundation in your Will or Trust.
Enjoy this report of our efforts to support excellent health care for everyone
in our community. Feel free to contact me for any assistance in creating your
legacy – because your philanthropy does make a difference at Long Beach
Memorial, Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach and Community
Hospital Long Beach.
I wish you a joyous holiday season.

Message from the CEO
To Our Friends and Neighbors,
This year at Long Beach Memorial, Community Hospital Long Beach and Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach,
we have been inspired – inspired by our patients, their families, our staff and our community. We have all come together to
move our hospitals forward in the changing face of health care and have celebrated many milestones.
July marked the one-year
anniversary of the opening
of the Todd Cancer Pavilion.
Community Hospital
Long Beach celebrated
its third year as a member
of the MemorialCare
family and is celebrating
its 90th year of providing
acute care services for
East Long Beach. And the
Memorial Medical Center
Foundation is celebrating
50 years of philanthropic
support to our hospitals.
I am often asked what
I believe are the most important secrets of success
for organizations such as ours. Below is what we
believe and keep “Top of Mind” to continuously
build on the legacy of this great health care system.
Fulfilling our mission. Our mission is to improve the
health and well-being of people in the communities
we serve. As a not-for-profit health care system,
this is quintessential to our existence. We are proud
to be here to care for everyone in our community,
regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, religious affiliation,
languages spoken, and, importantly, sometimes the
ability to pay.
Ensuring our patients have the highest quality
outcomes possible. We strive to raise the bar higher
and higher on quality, always critically evaluating
how we can improve outcomes.
Delivering safe care. It’s not an exaggeration to say that
patients and their families often put their lives in our
hands and are relying on us to ALWAYS provide care
in the safest manner and in the safest environment.
Embracing the responsibility of ensuring the best
possible experience. This speaks to the privilege
of serving and caring for people who come to us,
frequently in vulnerable, frightened, and also in
hopeful, states or circumstances. And through it all,
we are here with them, to not only provide high
quality care, but also to attend to the emotional,
spiritual, human needs of people, well beyond
technical or clinical medical care. Optimizing the health and well-being of our
workforce. It’s not uncommon for those in caregiving
professions to be better at caring for others than at
caring for themselves. That’s why it’s essential that
we create and implement a wide range of programs
and holistic services for our employees.
and fellows. And through our partnerships with
Cal State Long Beach, UC Irvine, Long Beach City
College and many other institutions, we have
become known in the greater Long Beach area
as the top health care educator.
Improving the health of people in our community.
We’ve been known for more than 100 years now
as the region’s top provider of care when patients
are sick or injured. And over the past few years, we’ve
intentionally expanded our focus to also become
great at prevention and wellness.
Evolving our razor-sharp focus on stewardship.
While we’re a not-for-profit organization, that does not
mean that we don’t have to focus on optimizing our
net income. Every dollar we earn through operations,
every dollar saved through efficiencies and every
dollar donated to us by grateful philanthropists is
reinvested back into our organization. Our shareholders,
in essence, are the people who live in the communities
we serve – and the dividends we pay ensure that
our mission of improving the health and well-being
of the people who live in our community is sustained
for generations to come.
Diana Hendel, PharmD
Further expanding our legacy of education.
We have a legacy of providing a superb educational
environment for hundreds of students, residents

A Revolution
in Cardiac Care
by Greg Hardesty
Harriet Milam plans to take horseback riding lessons soon.
Such a plan would not be likely if the 78-year-old woman had not been one
of the first Long Beach Memorial (LBM) patients to undergo an innovative
valve replacement procedure in the new Hybrid Imaging/Interventional/
Surgical Suite at the MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute (MHVI).
Harriet is working her way back into tip-top shape. In addition to hopping into the saddle, she hopes
to volunteer for the Red Cross, thanks to Rex Winters, MD, medical director of Interventional Cardiology,
Daniel Bethencourt, MD, medical director of Cardiac Surgery, and an entire MHVI team.
“Harriet was one of the early beneficiaries of all the resources that came out of the Hybrid Suite as well
as the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) program at Long Beach Memorial, ” Dr. Winters said.
Added Dr. Bethencourt, medical director of MHVI cardiac and thoracic surgery: “She was able to undergo
surgery in a minimally invasive manner that, in the past, would have required open heart surgery and
additional risk.”
Harriet’s story began about three years ago. Although she had had asthma all her life, Harriet felt
something different one morning after spending a sleepless night tossing and turning. Her breathing
was especially labored. She could barely get up the stairs in her home.
She was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism – a blockage in a primary artery in her lungs.
In December 2011, a physician in San Bernardino treated the clot with a blood thinner. After Harriet
had her knees replaced in 2012, her physician detected a heart murmur. That’s when Harriet was
referred to Dr. Winters and Dr. Bethencourt and other members of the MHVI team.

delivery device with Dr. Bethencourt (center) and the rest of the team.
Middle: Close-up of a valve before it is deployed.
Bottom: X-ray of the new valve within the stent, being opened by the expanded ballon.
Far left: Just a few weeks after Harriet Milam underwent a percutaneous aortic valve
replacement procedure, she was pedaling her way into shape.
“This procedure is one of our true revolutions
in cardiac care,”
Gregory Thomas, MD, MPH, medical director of MHVI.
Rex Winters, MD, left, directs the position of the x-ray C-arm to check the placement
of guide wires while Daniel Bethencourt, MD, (with headlamp), makes an incision to
insert the SAPIEN 2 aortic valve delivery system.
Dr. Winters performed tests in 2013 and determined that
Harriet’s aortic valve had narrowed. He believed that Harriet
would be an ideal candidate for a TAVR in the Hybrid Suite.
Patients who qualify for this minimally invasive procedure
have been ruled out for traditional open-heart surgery or
are considered at high risk for such surgery.
“This procedure is one of our true revolutions in cardiac care,”
said Gregory Thomas, MD, MPH, medical director of MHVI.
for cardio conditioning. “I’ve felt no pain – nothing,” Harriet
said. “I had a very good experience with Dr. Winters and the
entire TAVR team. They were just wonderful. I can’t tell you
how good Dr. Winters and his colleagues were at explaining
everything, including all the tests that were done on me.”
Harriet said she’s well on her way to feeling better. Good enough,
she added, to saddle up very soon.
Dr. Winters and Dr. Bethencourt started performing TAVR
procedures in 2012, two years before the MHVI Hybrid Suite
formally opened in May 2014. Doctors on the MHVI team
predict that this new way of replacing heart valves, which
currently accounts for about 15 percent of aortic valve
procedures, will account for about 80 percent of all such
procedures within a decade. Over time, when the technology
is perfected, doctors expect this procedure to move toward
becoming the standard way of replacing aortic valves.
The minimally invasive procedures performed in the Hybrid
Suite result in less pain and chance of infection for patients,
as well as shorter hospital stays. Traditional surgery for aortic
valve replacement involves about four hours of open-heart
surgery and a hospital stay of about a week.
In Harriet’s case, she underwent the two-hour procedure
on June 18, 2014, and was discharged home five days later.
During the procedure, Dr. Winters and colleagues used
a small delivery device called the SAPIEN 2, the latest
technology from Edwards Lifesciences. It was placed in a
small artery in the groin area and delivered a thin, flexible
valve mounted on a stainless steel stent and expanded
by a balloon. Harriet’s new valve then got to work, rapidly
expanding and contracting in a wavelike motion.
In early August, Harriet started undergoing cardiac rehab at
LBM. Three times a week for one hour each session, she uses
resistance weights to strengthen her legs and the treadmill
It takes a large team to perform the TAVR procedure.

Medicine for the Soul
by Tom Berg
A bubbly little girl – that’s what she was before the night sweats started.
By age 5, Ava Valdez was a ballerina, a Girl Scout and everyone’s friend in
kindergarten. So Mom knew something was wrong when Ava complained of
fatigue at age 6, and when she awoke crying with a fever that lasted days.
The Diagnosis
“It might be a virus, ” they all hoped. But it was more
than that. Ava had acute lymphoblastic leukemia,
a childhood cancer of the blood and bone marrow.
“You don’t think it’s ever going to happen to your
child, ” said Andreae Valdez of Redondo Beach.
“But it did. Our hearts were breaking.”
In October 2013, Andreae took Ava to Miller
Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach for her
first round of chemotherapy. That’s when they
discovered a program unlike any other – one with
medicine for the soul. “I’m so grateful, ” Andreae
said. “It changed my daughter’s life.”
More Than Just Playtime
Ava joined an art therapy program led by art
therapist Carrie Cottone, who works with children
in the playroom, the infusion center, the lobby
and at their bedsides. She’s part of a unique team
of doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers
and child life specialists who treat children with
modern medicine – and a human touch. “Cancer
takes away a lot of choices for our patients, ”
Carrie said. “Art gives them back some control. ”
Creating art helps patients feel better emotionally,
psychologically and, at times, physically. It can also
distract them from pain and/or nausea, reduce
stress and lower anxiety.
Ava’s mom saw its value whenever Ava and Carrie
painted together, especially in Ava’s room after
stressful chemotherapy treatments. “If Ava was on
the vital signs monitor, ” Andreae said, “I’d see her
blood pressure drop when Carrie came in!”
Carrie is involved in hundreds of art therapy sessions
with pediatric hematology/oncology patients
each year. She provides everything from crayons
to sculpting clay to iPads, which teenagers seem
to prefer. It’s more than simple arts and crafts. “It
provides a creative outlet for the patient, ” she said.
“And it also gives the treatment team another way to
look into the patient.” It’s like an x-ray of their feelings.
At times, artwork shows that a child feels isolated
or lonely or scared. “They don’t always have the
words to express those emotions, ” Carrie said.
In those cases, Carrie shares the artwork with the
psychosocial team. They can address it with the
child’s parents to alleviate the child’s concerns.
“No matter what, creating art creates a distraction,
and it’s a nonverbal way for the patients to express
themselves, ” Carrie said.
Sometimes, it’s the highlight of their hospital stay,
which explains why Ava made a curious detour on
her way home recently. It came after 10 months
of highs and lows fighting leukemia. The low point came
early on when, due to a genetic flaw, Ava was diagnosed
as very high risk. That meant more prodding by doctors,
more poking with needles and more chemotherapy
infusions that made her feel sick. Throughout, she looked
forward to one thing: art therapy with Carrie. “It was her
safe haven, ” Andreae said. “There was no medicine. No
doctors. It was her way to de-stress.” The high point came
in February – on Valentine’s Day – when test results showed
no signs of leukemic cells in Ava’s bone marrow. “There was
nothing, ” Andreae said. “It was actually zero. I was so excited,
I was crying. It was the best Valentine’s Day gift ever.”
Ava is now in remission yet still receives maintenance
treatments. After one recent treatment, she stopped in
the hall. She didn’t want to go home yet. “I like art, ” she
told her mom. “And I like Carrie because she’s nice and
makes me feel happy and awesome.” With that, they
returned to the playroom – to paint with Carrie.
“It was the messiest, gooiest finger painting you’ve ever
seen,” said Andreae, who saved the paintings as keepsakes.
“She had such a good time, ” It is a reminder of how
powerful art therapy can be when a child is going
through life-altering treatment.
It’s support from Philanthropic Friends that keeps it running.
Traditional insurance doesn’t cover the cost of art therapy,
so the hospital relies on the kindness of donors. “I’m forever
grateful to the Bauer Foundation, the Sunair Children’s
Foundation and CBeyondCancer for grants that allow us to
support the art therapy program, ” said James Normandin,
president of Memorial Medical Center Foundation. “Their
generosity is critical to the overall treatment of our patients.”
Andreae puts it this way: Before leukemia, little Ava was
bubbly. And now she is again.
Becoming an Adult -
A Time for Transition
by Kimberly Yap
Jasmin Serrano’s symptoms began when she was 11
years old. She became weak, started vomiting and just
felt sick. Her pediatrician said it was probably the flu, but
her mother, Cleotilde Serrano, didn’t agree. Cleotilde’s
maternal instincts told her it was something more.
Designed to help teens and young adults, ages 14 – 21, with special health care
needs, the purpose is to help patients learn how to take care of themselves
independently and smoothly transition from pediatric care to adult-centered
care, usually at age 21. “Transition is about going from having your parents take
care of you, to taking care of yourself, ” said Erika Jewell, LCSW, Transition of Care
Program coordinator.
Learning the Truth
Approximately 350 patients at the Endocrine & Diabetes California Children’s
Services (CCS) Center are in that age bracket, and about 60 patients at the Sickle
Cell CCS are now benefiting from this new integrated transition program.
By the time Jasmin arrived at the Emergency Department (ED) at Miller
Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach, her blood sugar was dangerously
high. She was immediately admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit,
where Jasmin was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
“I had all the symptoms, ” said the now 18-year-old Jasmin. “But it was really hard
to know I would have this for the rest of my life.”
When Luis Rojas was 7 years old, his parents noticed he was getting extremely
thin and sometimes was too tired to walk. Especially in the mornings when it
was time to get up for school, he would say, “I’m too tired to go.”
“We basically had no idea what it was, ” said his father, Catarino Rojas. “But we knew
something was definitely wrong.” Luis’ mother, Belen Rojas, asked his pediatrician
to run some tests. He diagnosed Luis with type 1 diabetes. “We felt very sad at first,”
said Catarino. “However, as Luis has gotten older, it has become easier to accept.”
Transitioning to Adult Care
Initially created with funding through the Memorial Medical Center Foundation,
and continued by a three-year grant from the UniHealth Foundation, the Transition of Care Program is supported through philanthropy, since this type
of program is not covered by insurance reimbursement.
Most cases of sickle cell disease (SCD) are diagnosed at birth. The majority of young
adults with SCD are cared for by the same pediatric provider their whole lives.
In many cases historically, young adult patients turn to the ED for emergency care
instead of managing their health by working with an adult care specialist. This
sometimes results in misdiagnosis of any health challenges or mismanagement
of their disease, leading to a general lack of trust in the health care system.
Emerging treatments and medications can help the quality of life for adults
with SCD. However, it is extremely important that all aspects of their care are
coordinated when they transfer to adult care. This is when the transition program
can be extremely beneficial. “There is a different set of resources and questions
that come with SCD, ” said Erika. “It can be overwhelming.”
The transition staff work with the multidisciplinary team comprised of nurses,
physicians, social workers, dietitians, physical therapists, and a certified diabetes
educator for the diabetic patients, or a pulmonologist, dentist and a psychologist
for the SCD patients, to provide complete care. The team meets with each patient
individually during his or her appointment when they discuss important topics
such as: being more independent with daily health activities that parents have
Left: “My reminder to take care of myself is my son,” said Jasmin, of 6-month-old Mason, while meeting with Erika Jewel, LCSW, Transition of Care Program coordinator.
Below: An important part of transitional care is the team meeting, or The Huddle. After each professional meets with and evaluates the same patient, they gather
together to review their findings and discuss the next steps to obtain optimal care for their patient. From left: Mary Patterson, MD, endocrinologist; Karen Kennedy, RN,

been doing, knowing how to refill medications,
learning their medical history, what to do in an
emergency, how to contact insurance companies
with questions, finding a new primary care
physician who can see them as adults, and receiving
referrals to specialists. The information gathered is
then shared with other team members during their
staff conference, commonly called “The Huddle.”
“It’s helping me personally, ” said the now 18-yearold Luis. “Going into the adult world I will know
what to do to be more independent.”
Growing the Program to Meet the Needs
The program began by assisting young adults with
type 1 diabetes and SCD. In January 2014, the
program expanded to include additional staff and
added patients with type 2 diabetes. Planned for the
next two years, in alignment with the population
focused “lean” improvements the hospital has been
implementing since 2009, more diseases, including
pediatric hematology/oncology and cystic fibrosis,
will be added to the Transition of Care Program.
“Working in adult care, I saw firsthand the aftermath
of not having a transition program, ” said Erika. “We
are looking forward to how this change will impact
patients and their transition.”
So Much More Than a Job
by Kimberly Yap
“I’m finally on the path that I have been striving for,” said Cynthia James.
“It’s more than a dream come true. It’s a prayer answered.”
Beyond a Dream
Cynthia had been unemployed off and on, and working
temporary jobs, for the last seven years. “That time of struggling
disciplined me to never give up, and to keep pushing and
fighting for my life,” said Cynthia.
A client with Pacific Gateway, a workforce development agency,
Cynthia told her employment specialist Annette Barbosa
she would really love a job in the medical field. She felt it
was her calling: her “dream job.” Annette spoke to her about
the Patient Care Assistant (PCA) Program available through
Long Beach Memorial (LBM) and Miller Children’s & Women’s
Hospital Long Beach (MCWHLB). The program offered an
opportunity to train for a career in the medical field and be
guaranteed a job if she graduated successfully. It was exactly
what Cynthia had been hoping for. “It [LBM] is the one hospital
I really wanted to work for, ” said Cynthia. “I have been a patient
at LBM and so has my family. I love this hospital.”
After passing the required screenings with Alice Pitts, program
specialist, and interviewing with Susan Crockett, RN, director,
LBM Clinical Workforce Development, Cynthia began her
training in the PCA Program, which will enable her to work at
the bedside, helping nurses care for patients. “I am beyond
excited to be working at LBM and to be working with people,”
said Cynthia. “Being a PCA has finally put me on my true path.”
Top to bottom:
Students in the Patient Care Assistant Program learn CPR.
As a Care Associate working in the pediatric Food Allergy Center,
Elisa Hobson is responsible for taking Owen Huang’s vital signs.
Funded through an H-1B Technical Skills Training Grant Program,
from the U.S. Department of Labor and the Memorial Medical
Center Foundation, the hospitals have been working in
partnership with Pacific Gateway to identify unemployed
Long Beach residents with the desire and talent to work in the
health care industry. In-house training is provided to prepare
these individuals for either of two unique careers as PCAs
or Care Associates (CAs).
Patient Care Associates
The seven-week course consists of classroom instruction,
education in a patient simulation lab and clinical rotations
on various hospital units. “As students, they are welcomed
by our nursing staff, ” said Susan. The PCA students are then
paired with a mentor, who, along with the clinical staff, assists
them on the nursing units. They are assigned patients and
provide care in all areas of the hospital. The students gain
experience while learning to give the highest level of confident
and kind care, with a major focus on customer service.
Once the PCAs successfully graduate from the program, they
participate in a ceremony and receive a completion certificate.
The event is well attended by hospital staff, including the
training staff, nurses and human resources.
“This program has been really successful, ” said Susan. “These
graduates are some of the most caring and proud staff our
hospital has employed.” The PCAs are assigned to the central
staffing unit and given the opportunity to work in the areas on
campus with the greatest need – the Emergency Department,
medical/surgical units and MCWHLB, to name a few.
Care Associates
While PCAs work in most areas within the hospital, CAs work
exclusively in the MCWHLB Outpatient Specialty Centers. The
environment is much like a physician’s office, where patients
are seen by pediatric specialists for a wide variety of acute,
chronic or long-term conditions.
Reviewing the steps involved for proper CPR are PCA students,
from left, Sindia Martinez, Cynthia James, Alexandria Bigelow
and their instructor, Debbie Currington, RN.
The CAs are responsible for scheduling patient
appointments, verifying insurance coverage, showing
patients to their exam rooms, and getting them
ready to be seen by the doctors. They can also check
the patient’s weight and take their vital signs.
Elisa Hobson graduated from the CA Program more
than a year ago. She works in the MCWHLB Food
Allergy Center (story on page 18), as well as in the
Pulmonary, Allergy, Asthma and Cystic Fibrosis Center.
She has always loved children and helping people, so
when she learned about the CA Program from Pacific
Gateway, she was very interested. “I love working with
the patients, ” said Elisa. “It’s rewarding, working with
the children and helping them overcome so much.”
Path. Career. Assignment for Life.
In the five years since these programs began, the
program has graduated 167 PCAs and 23 CAs.
All the graduates had been unemployed and were
former clients of Pacific Gateway. Now they are
trained, working in health care and employed by
LBM and MCWHLB. Many have started taking
college courses to become nurses.
“These programs make a difference in the lives of the
graduates, their families, and most of all in the care
of our patients, ” said Susan. “Each of us who works
with these students is humbled by the experience.
They are so proud to be part of the Memorial team.”
“For me, PCA stands for path – career – assignment
for life, ” said Cynthia. “I couldn’t be happier.”

vouchers and bus fare for patients needing assistance getting to
their appointments. Here he, and Rebecca Fiene, help Efren Jimenez
and baby Jane out of the cab.
Making the 3-step Process Work
by Tom Berg
It was news that stunned the medical world:
An infant born with HIV and treated just four hours
after birth now appeared to be – almost miraculously –
virus-free. And it happened at the Bickerstaff Pediatric
Family Center (BPFC) in Long Beach.
“I’ve been living with HIV since 1985, ” he said. “Knowing how difficult it is living
with HIV as an adult, I couldn’t imagine what it must be like for children.
So, with the support of Mattel and many others, I began to give back to
help make a difference in their lives.”
A year later, the baby girl was still healthy, said BPFC Medical Director Audra
Deveikis, MD. “Using very sophisticated lab tests, we could not find evidence
of the virus, ” she said. “It’s extremely exciting.”
Now, through the Joseph A. Cristina HIV/AIDS Children’s Fund, funded by
Mattel, he’s keeping patients in the BPFC program. “Think of HIV care as a
three-step process,” said Dr. Michalik. “First is diagnosis. Second is starting
treatment. Third is staying in treatment. Patients who stay in treatment have
much better control of their HIV, ” he said. “Joe’s grant is crucial to making
that happen.”
This is just one example of the life-changing work that takes place at the
Bickerstaff Center, which cares for those with HIV/AIDS, chronic infections
and other immunological disorders. “Our patients get treatment equal to
any major university center in the U.S.,” added Dr. Deveikis.
The Not So Secret Formula
And there’s a reason: teamwork. That team includes doctors, nurses, therapists,
dietitians, social workers, case managers, child life specialists and staff.
“We can’t do it without a dedicated team, ” said David Michalik, DO.
That team extends even beyond the walls of the Center to those who keep
it running through generous donations – such as the Bickerstaff Family
Foundation. “They’ve been transformative in making the center a success,”
said James F. Normandin, president, Memorial Medical Center Foundation.
Now another Philanthropic Friend has stepped up. Former Mattel executive
Joe Cristina brings toys to the Center and volunteers his time each week.
As a volunteer, he saw another need: Many families have a difficult time
getting to the clinic for treatment. So he offered to supply them with bus
tokens, Metrolink fare, gas cards, and even cab fare to keep appointments.
Over the last 20 years, his Children Affected by AIDS Foundation has raised
more than $40 million.
Replicating the Results
And the Bickerstaff Center is crucial to preventing and treating HIV/AIDS.
At this year’s HIV/AIDS conference in Boston, officials described the nearly
miraculous treatment that took place at BPFC one year ago. Dr. Deveikis
and colleague Dr. Jagmohan Batra knew they had to act fast to help the
infant born with HIV – and they did, with stunning results.
A worldwide clinical trial is now underway to test their early intervention
methods. If successful, it will likely change the way doctors treat the quarter
million HIV-positive babies born each year. “If by doing aggressive therapy, we
can prevent babies from getting infected, that is tremendous,” Dr. Deveikis
said. “If we can eliminate the virus in babies of mothers who were not treated
during pregnancy, that’s fantastic.”
The Best Day Ever
by Kimberly Yap
Imagine what it’s like to be a kid and never having tasted ice
cream — or pizza — or frosting on a cake.
For many kids, such as 8-year-old Owen Huang and his 6-year-old
sister, Cara, it’s a reality. One in 13 children has at least one type
of food allergy, and it’s becoming more common.
A Severe Reaction
When Owen was 10 months old, he had his first allergic reaction to egg yolk. His pediatrician
tested him and advised his mother, Catherine, to avoid many different foods, including
egg, milk and peanuts.
Top left: Melissa Heinze, RN, hooks up Cara and Owen Huang
to various sensors before their next food challenges begin.
Bottom left: Cara and Owen receive from Inderpal Randhawa,
MD, director of the Food Allergy Center, the premeasured
dosages of the foods for which they are in treatment.
“We were not aware Cara had any allergies until just before her third birthday, ” said Catherine.
A parent in her preschool class brought in cookies. Cara took one bite and spit it out,
but that was enough exposure to nuts to cause an anaphylactic reaction. Her face swelled,
her nose began running, her eyes were watering and she began to drool. When Catherine
arrived, Cara was nearly unconscious. She injected her with Owen’s EpiPen to stop the
allergic reaction on the way to the Emergency Department. “It was the worst day of my
life,” she said.
“My fear level was really high after that, ” said Catherine. “What if something happened,
and I wasn’t there?”
Taking Action
In 2013, based on their experience with their son Matthew,
John and Palma Gallegos made a philanthropic gift establishing
the first specialized pediatric Food Allergy Center in Southern
California. “We are delighted the Food Allergy Center is helping
so many children and families,” said Palma. “Nothing is more
frustrating and heartbreaking than seeing your child suffer
and not knowing what to do to help them.”
Owen and Cara were among the first patients. For the last
year, they have been participating in a food treatment and
desensitization program with Dr. Inderpal Randhawa,
medical director.
First, the siblings underwent a complex and comprehensive
analysis of their immune systems and how they reacted to foods.
Based upon the analysis, they were given a calculated amount
of food, or dose, and monitored very closely for a reaction.
“We are looking for anything and everything, ” said Dr. Randhawa.
“We start with their baseline, from when they first come in
and then throughout the entire challenge. That’s really the
smartest way to do it in my book, ” he said. From there the
dose slowly increases. Once the patient tolerates 10 to 15
grams of a food, they could safely add it into their diet.
Owen and Cara have graduated to eating a maintenance
dosage of almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans and walnuts,
and for Owen, the addition of milk. They are also eating
increased doses of pistachio and have more challenges
planned. “We have done up to 500 challenges and up to
1,000 dosing regimens with no real use of epinephrine,
no hospitalizations and no major reactions at home,”
said Dr. Randhawa.
Catherine said the first time the Huang family went out for
ice cream was the best day ever. Owen got pretty excited
when he saw all the flavors. After some serious deliberation,
Owen ordered mint chocolate chip. And since then, he has
yet to choose the same flavor twice.
“I doubt whether the world holds for anyone a more
soul-stirring surprise than the first adventure with
ice cream.” Heywood Broun
Online – Where the Giving is Easy
by Carol A. Beckerman
Daniel Cousineau has a family connection to the Jonathan
Jaques Children’s Cancer Center (JJCCC), so he is familiar
with the Memorial Medical Center Foundation (MMCF)
and fundraising in general. In preparation for his recent
marriage, Daniel and his then fiancé decided to “register”
with the Foundation. In lieu of a gift, they encouraged all
their guests to make a donation online to a cause they
strongly believe in. They consider their strategy to have
been a success.
Unusual? Not as much as you may think. Online giving is
on the rise. From Kickstarter, a funding platform for creative
projects, to the recent online ALS ice bucket challenge,
online giving is growing fast.
online capabilities to send updates and messages and like the fact I can target
the messages to go to whom I want. I can also send out gentle reminders to those
who might have forgotten. My friends thank me for the chance to participate.”
Tessa Cavenah is also a development associate at MMCF. “When a gift comes in
online, I make sure the donor receives a receipt, and I also verify that the online
transaction is linked to the profile we have for the donor. We want to make sure
that the receipt is accurate for tax purposes.” Tessa added, “If any errors are made
during the transaction, it can easily be sorted out. One time, a donor intended
to give $25.00, but instead gave $250.00. We quickly issued a refund. We are
always available to help with the online donation process.”
“Personally, I give online and love it, ” Tessa said. It is easy and fast. I’ve given
a memorial gift online and the acknowledgment went to the family. I would
definitely do it again.”
Kari Cho, an MMCF development associate, feels that
online giving is a critical component of MMCF events.
“Each one has an online fundraising component. When someone registers
(Team Spirit, iWalk, etc.) a fundraising page is automatically set up – whether
they use it or not. We provide assistance by helping them set a goal and giving
them ideas on how to fundraise, even how to write a fundraising note. ” Kari is
enthusiastic about this form of fundraising. “The Tour of Long Beach (a bicycling
event) has grown by 25 – 30 percent each year. ” She also noted aspects to online
giving that most people don’t think about, “It’s the green way to fundraise.”
Chris Cameron, along with daughter Hannah (a former JJCCC patient, now 23
and studying to be a nurse), husband Bill, and Hannah’s older sister, Jessica, have
all been involved in the Champions Run for Life (Torch Run), since shortly after
Hannah was diagnosed with cancer in 1998. Chris has noticed the increase in
the number of supporters who prefer online giving to writing a check. “I use the

Lives Lived Well
“They reminded me that life passes you by,
and to enjoy it as much as possible.”
by Greg Hardesty
Dr. Susan Melvin
She cruised on her bicycle alongside the seemingly
endless fields of brilliantly colored tulips, daffodils and
hyacinths that fill the fabled Keukenhof gardens in
Holland. She was filled with awe and wonder.
Jim Normandin, president of the Memorial Medical Center Foundation, said the
Kolats’ gift is one of the largest single donations ever to the Family Medicine
Residency Program. “Their gift to this already incredible program is an investment
that will pay dividends to the community for years to come, ” Jim said. “And how
we received it really is all about relationships.”
On that spring day in 2008, Susan Melvin, DO, was also filled with gratitude for
two patients she had met by chance nearly a decade earlier, when Dr. Melvin was,
of all things, house hunting
in Long Beach. The story of Dr.
Melvin’s friendship with Barbara
and Dan Kolat is not only about
a special relationship that inspired
Dr. Melvin to start seeing the
world after years of devoting
most of her time to her family
practice, but also about a bond
that will benefit Long Beach
Memorial (LBM) for years to come.
Dr. Melvin, currently LBM chief medical officer, met the Kolats when she returned to
Long Beach in 1999, after spending a couple of years in Reno to launch a senior
health clinic there.
Inspired by the excellent care they
received from Dr. Melvin, who
was their family physician from
2000 until Dan passed away in
2007 and Barbara died in 2013,
Barbara Kolat
the Kolats left the hospital an
unrestricted gift of $1 million.
Half of that gift – part of the Barbara Kolat Living Trust – was recently approved by
the Memorial Medical Center Foundation Board to fund an endowment for the
Family Medicine Residency Program. The other $500,000 was restricted to the
Todd Cancer Institute.
Back at the hospital where she started her career in 1987 – this time, to serve as
director of its Family Medicine Program – Dr. Melvin met the Kolats after falling
in love with a house in Bixby Knolls. Barbara was at an open house with Cheri
Hoffman, who, at the time, was married to Barbara’s nephew, Peter Hoffman,
when Dr. Melvin swung by.
A purchase was soon made, and a lifelong friendship began.
Soon after Dr. Melvin purchased the 1950s home, Barbara and Dan, avid world
travelers, became her patients. That surprised Cheri. “Getting them to see a doctor
was like pulling teeth, ” Cheri recalled. “But they loved [Dr. Melvin] to death. They
had a real rapport with her.”
Said Dr. Melvin: “We had a real level of trust with each other. And they were
the most unassuming people – very gentle souls, very kind.” The Kolats would
regularly bring Dr. Melvin gifts from their travels, urging her to see the world.
Dr. Melvin recalled one day when Dan offered to pay for her to go on a European
vacation. Honored, but believing his offer was too generous, Dr. Melvin instead
suggested that he direct his generosity to Long Beach Memorial. She also
promised him that someday she would go to Holland to see the tulips.
Family physician Susan Melvin, DO, was encouraged by her patients, Dan and Barbara Kolat,
to work less and enjoy life more – and to see the tulips in Holland.
The subject never came up between the two again.
A year after Dan died, Dr. Melvin took a bicycle tour through Holland
that included her ride through the Keukenhof gardens – a trip, she
said, that was inspired by Dan and Barbara. Dr. Melvin told Barbara
about her long overdue overseas excursion, and Barbara was pleased.
Dr. Melvin didn’t learn about the Kolats’ $1 million gift (the couple
had accumulated a sizeable portfolio of residential properties) until
after the inseparable couple had passed away. She was surprised by
the Kolats’ generosity. It isn’t common, she said, for such gifts to go to
primary care; usually they go to benefit a specialized area of medicine.
It was Cheri, trustee of the Barbara Kolat Living Trust, who decided
to split the gift evenly between the Family Medicine Residency
Program and the Todd Cancer Institute. Dan had been diagnosed
with leukemia and colon cancer before he died of a heart attack at
76. Barbara passed away six years later at age 86. Cheri, a longtime
LBM patient, discussed details of the $1 million gift with Jim Normandin
when recovering from hip replacement surgery.
These days, Dr. Melvin travels whenever she gets the chance —
Venice, Switzerland, Africa – inspired by the Kolats. Up next is a trip
to England with her niece – a college graduation gift.
And whenever Dr. Melvin happens upon a tulip, she thinks of Barbara
and Dan. “They reminded me that life passes you by, ” Dr. Melvin said,
“and to enjoy it as much as possible.”
Family Foundations Provide Recognition
by Donna Reckseen
Rudolph J. and Daphne Munzer Family Foundation
In 1993, the Munzer Family Foundation established a named Chair for Graduate
Medical Education in the Memorial Medical Center Foundation. Along with
this gift they also created an annual award to recognize exemplary teaching
and research by deserving physicians at Long Beach Memorial and Miller
Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach (LBM/MCHWLB). Just this year an
updated recognition plaque was installed in the Center for Health Education
listing all recipients’ names.
Gary P. Moreau, MD, medical director of the LBM Emergency Department
since 2003, received The 2013 Munzer Family Award. Dr. Moreau graduated
from the University of Iowa, completed his internship and residency in
emergency medicine at the University of Southern California (USC) and is a
board-certified Fellow of the American College of Medicine. He is also an
assistant professor in pediatric emergency medicine at UCI School of Medicine
and emergency medicine at USC. Dr. Moreau has been an American Board
of Emergency Medicine examiner since 1987. It is no wonder that the blue ribbon
committee of his peers chose him for this prestigious award.
From the left: Edward J. Quilligan, MD, executive director of Medical Education, Memorial Health
Services; Munzer Lifetime Achievement Award winner Philip J. Di Saia, MD; 2013 Munzer Family
Award winner Gary P. Moreau, MD; and Daniel Munzer pose at the Munzer home during a reception
to honor all current and previous winners.
A Munzer Lifetime Achievement Award was given to Philip J. Di Saia, MD,
medical director of the Todd Cancer Institute. Dr. Di Saia completed surgical
and ob/gyn residencies at Yale University and then spent two years as
Lieutenant Commander in the Navy. He is a Diplomate, American Board of
Ob/Gyn and the Subspecialty Board of Gyn Oncology. At the UCI School of
Medicine, he is Professor Emeritus, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology;
Professor, Radiology; and holds the Dorothy Marsh Chair in Reproductive
Biology. His curriculum vitae speaks to his authorship of 72 books and book
chapters, 297 peer-reviewed articles, and active membership in 28 professional
societies. He has given more than 100 conference lectures and has received
40 special awards and honors. No doubt a lifetime of accomplishments
deserves a Lifetime Award.
The Murphy Family Foundation
Robert Murphy established a Donor Advised Fund in the Memorial Medical
Center Foundation to provide a convenient way for his family to make
meaningful philanthropic gifts and grants to their areas of interest in
perpetuity. At Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach, they have
provided funding for many programs such as Sensory Integration and Care
Packages; Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) “graduates” High Risk Follow-up;
Children’s Adaptive Camp at Big Bear; “Simply Thick” and “Table Tots” Feeding/
Eating Problems and Therapeutic Listening.
Also, to recognize and support the valuable service volunteers at both LBM
and MCWHLB, they created the Murphy Distinguished Service Volunteer
Award in 1999 to be given annually to two service volunteers who exemplify
“compassion, commitment and care.”
These special volunteers are nominated by caregivers, staff and patients
and selected by a blue ribbon committee of peers. The following volunteers
received the 2013 – 2014 awards:
Teri Staniford has been serving patients and staff every Wednesday for
seven years as a Service Room Volunteer, which means she does everything.
When not delivering meal trays or escorting discharged patients, Teri
provides education on the Service Recovery program and conducts
“customer service secret shopper calls” for patients. Teri is so committed
that when she doesn’t have time to make calls on Wednesdays, she calls
from home during evenings and weekends. Her passion for patients,
upbeat attitude and sense of humor inspire all who know her.
Vicki Edwards contributes to the NICU “Cuddler Program” in so many ways.
The staff appreciates her calming presence every Wednesday afternoon.
As their Primary Cuddler, Vicki takes the most complex patient cases, making
a profound difference for infants and their families. One little patient was
born early and the adopted family lived out of state. The adoptive mom was
unable to be present at the early date, and was so grateful that Vicki could come
in throughout the week to be with this baby. Vicki improves lives with her
generous heart and is a blessing to babies, their families and the NICU staff.

Established by MMCF in 2002, Partnerships in Excellence (PIE) is a unique philanthropic program offering large
and small local businesses a way to participate in keeping high quality health care in the Long Beach community.
Each year Partners help purchase needed medical equipment for a specific area of Long Beach Memorial/Miller
Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach (LBM/MCHWLB).
During the 2013 – 14 fiscal year, they focused their philanthropy in support of the MemorialCare Heart &
Vascular Institute. These involved businesses contributed $160,000 for the purchase of the CentriMag blood
pump, a mechanical circulatory support device that can be used for left or right ventricular support. With a
simple and intuitive manner of operation, it can be ready for use in seven to 10 minutes to stabilize patients
in need of cardiopulmonary support. Its compact design makes it easy to move from the OR to bedside,
or, if necessary, during transport via ambulance or helicopter. It can be used to support the heart/lungs
for months if needed.

The Employee iGive Program
by Donna Reckseen
The employees in all departments at Long Beach Memorial, Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach and at
Long Beach Community Hospital have the opportunity to “give back” to the patients they serve through this program.
Staff can give to their own area and/or any other area of interest. During the
past fiscal year employees gave $307,567 to help purchase such items as baby
cribs, labor and delivery beds, wheelchairs, microscopes, IV poles, rocking chairs,
crash carts and respiratory therapy beds. In addition, they provided support for
clinical research and nursing education, as well as funding patient programs on
both campuses.
These philanthropic gifts show the community that employees have pride
in their workplace, care about the patients they serve, and are personally
committed to giving back.

for the cystic fibrosis program.
Behind each of the grants noted here is a wonderful story of caring. One example is the
generous $750,000 grant received from UniHealth Foundation for MCWHLB.
Funded by this grant is the Transition of Care Program (see page 12). According to the American
Academy of Pediatrics, more than half of the teenage population with special needs has little
support for a smooth transition from pediatric health care to adult care. Over the next three years,
this grant program will rectify the problem for nearly 1,000 young adults in the Long Beach area.
More than one decade ago, the professionals at Miller Children’s implemented a similar program
for those with cystic fibrosis, since, thanks to science and medicine, patients with such chronic
diseases are living longer. In 2013, the program expanded to include patients with type 1 diabetes
and sickle cell disease. With this new funding, the program will expand to include young patients
with type 2 diabetes, pediatric cancer and a wider population of cystic fibrosis patients. Being on
a medical campus, which includes both pediatric and adult care, facilitates this kind of transition.

well-measured way to meet identified community health needs.
In fiscal year 2013 – 2014, LBM/CHLB/MCWHLB provided unreimbursed
(uncompensated) services and programs with a value of $144,335,000. This includes complimentary health education programs for the public,
community-based clinical services, health care support services and

as part of the VHA community benefit package and are based on the hospitals’
overall cost to charge ratio.
3. Includes other payors for which the hospital receives little or no reimbursement.
4. Costs related to the Medical Education programs and Medical Research that the
hospital sponsors.
5. Includes many non billed programs such as community education, screening,
support groups, clinics and other self-help groups.
