Discovering for Octavio and Chuck
Boxing fans and business partners, Octavio and Chuck were old-school before it was cool. In their barber
shop, they’re all about buzz cuts and clean shaves, Barbasol and Bay Rum—and making every guy who sits
in their chairs look and feel great.
Five years ago, Octavio said goodbye to cancer and hello to health thanks to breakthrough research
advances from Cedars-Sinai. Today, with support from partners like you, our nonprofit medical center
continues to discover for Octavio, for Chuck, and for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who hope
to knock out a cancer diagnosis—and get back to the business of feeling great.

The Major Catalyst
Ronald Bloom
BY ROBERT BARNETT
“When you have
the opportunity
to help,
it’s lasting.”
ron bloom,
pictured with his wife Lois
One day less than a year ago, Ron Bloom
reached for his phone to call his next-door
neighbor. To the naked eye, his gesture could
seem routine. Look closer and you would see
a man striking a quiet blow against cancer.
The man on the other end of the phone
that day was Mark Siegel, chairman of the
Cedars-Sinai Board of Directors. Siegel admits
he was surprised by the call. He had told Ron
Bloom about the groundbreaking cancer
research at the medical center but had never
approached him about giving.
The call may have been unexpected, but
it was right in character, says Siegel. “Some
people wait to be drafted. Some people,
when their community needs them, volunteer.
Ron is a good soldier and a great leader.
He volunteered.”
Ron directed his gift to cancer research.
“Really good things are happening at
Cedars-Sinai,” Ron explains. “The doctors are
outstanding. The administration is committed,
and the staff has the expertise and the means
to do so much more in cancer research.”
R
on and Lois Bloom have known their
share of tragedy. It has taught them that
life is for living, for sharing what you
have with others. That’s the spirit that infuses
their daily life and their charitable decisions—
whether it is for the Ronald H. Bloom Family
Chair in Cancer Therapeutics held by Howard
Sandler, MD, or to support other favorite
institutions like USC and Ron’s beloved Trojans,
the Skirball Cultural Center, and Disney Hall.
Ron’s full head of brilliant white hair is
unmistakable across any room. His demeanor
is calm and leisurely, yet he commands
attention. “We’re very lucky,” he says. “If we
have an opportunity to travel, we take it. But
it’s a fleeting pleasure. When you have the
opportunity to help, it’s lasting.”
Ron lost his first wife, Sandy, to lymphoma
in 1988. Sandy had been Ron’s high school
sweetheart, marrying him in his junior year
at USC’s School of Public Administration.
Together, they’d raised a daughter and a son
while Ron built a highly successful real estate
brokerage business and industrial property
investment portfolio.
Ron describes the last two years of Sandy’s
life as “brutally painful and tortuous,” but he
remains grateful to her caregivers at USC/Norris
Comprehensive Cancer Center and Cedars-Sinai.
For Ron, Sandy’s death was “a call.” She had
always been involved in philanthropic and
cultural activities. Now it was his turn.
I
n 2001, Ron endowed the Ronald H. Bloom
Family Chair in Lymphoma at USC/Norris
Comprehensive Cancer Center, but as he
says, “I had it in my mind I had to do more.”
The Ronald H. Bloom Family Chair in Cancer
Therapeutics supports the research and clinical
work of Dr. Sandler, chairman of Radiation
Oncology at Cedars-Sinai. His exploration of
cancer therapeutics focuses on prostate and
bladder cancer.
“Radiation therapy,” explains Dr. Sandler,
“is a kinder and gentler treatment for prostate
cancer” with results that are highly successful.
Sandler’s research at the Samuel Oschin
Comprehensive Cancer Institute focuses on
developing radiation treatments that can be
more effectively targeted to seek out the cancer,
thus allowing therapies to be customized to
the specific medical needs of the patient and
reducing unnecessary side effects.
“Cancer is very much the scariest thing that
can happen to any family,” says Ron. “It altered
my life. We need to push to find ways to help
the lives of those diagnosed.”
“Cancer touches everyone,” reminds Lois,
who lost her father and her sons’ father to the
disease and, recently, a 48-year-old niece to
pancreatic cancer. She is equally fervent in
seeing its malignant touch eradicated.
Ron worked 12-hour days in his early years
to be financially independent. He had a clear
purpose: “I’ve always had this feeling that I could
do a lot with life if I had the proper means, that
I could do all those things I wanted to see done.”
That extends well beyond Ron’s home in
Southern California. Two years ago, he financed
the restoration of the Gyongyos Jewish
Cemetery and Holocaust Memorial in Hungary
where hundreds of Jews murdered by the Nazis
were buried, many without gravesites. “You
have to understand the past,” says Ron, “to live
in the present.”
And living in the present they do: Ron and
Lois drink in life around them. Their house is
a destination for dinners and gatherings with
children and grandchildren, creating a happily
blended family. Lois cooks for everybody.
Glancing around the breakfast room in the
Blooms’ home, you’ll notice a desk where, in
thick volumes bound in leather, Ron
meticulously records details on every bottle of
wine he uncorks. You’ll also discover bottles
sitting out on the dining room sideboard,
awaiting a meal or a dinner with family or
friends to be opened and savored. “I don’t
collect wine,” says Ron, whose cellar includes
an ample supply of vintages he has lovingly
acquired for many years, “I buy wine to share.”
The words tell you as much about the man’s
approach to philanthropy as they do about his
enduring passion for wine: Life is to be lived
and shared with others.
Philanthropy is simply the other integral
part of a fully lived life. As Ron puts it in his
typically low-key manner, “I’m delighted to
give, and I do what I can.”

Badge of Honor
M
aybe it was a kind word or a gentle smile that brought comfort at the right time. It could
have been a lifesaving procedure or a visit from a volunteer during a hospital stay.
Whatever the reason, Cedars-Sinai patients, their families, and friends now have a new
way of saying “thank you” with Circle of Friends.
A gift made through the program allows individuals to thank a Cedars-Sinai physician, a nurse, or a
staff member who made a difference in their life. When a gift is made, the designated care giver receives
a card alerting him or her of the contribution and a much sought-after custom-crafted lapel pin.
Vascular surgeon David Cossman, MD, wears his proudly around the hospital. “It’s gratifying to
know that Cedars-Sinai realizes the power and goodwill of the individual contribution,” he says.
For Nancy Senter Grosflam, goodwill meant expressing her gratitude to surgeon Jason Cohen, MD, who
successfully operated on her husband after he
became suddenly ill. “Dr. Cohen took quick
action that saved my husband’s life. I’m glad to
be able to say thank you through a program
that helps the hospital fulfill its mission.”
All tribute gifts made through Circle of
Friends, regardless of their size, support the
mission of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to
foster advances in biomedical research,
educate tomorrow’s physicians, and continue
serving the community for years to come.

Mission of Mercy
F
our Cedars-Sinai surgeons and nurses in blue scrubs are huddled
around a woman in the kitchen of a makeshift hospital. They are
on an army base on the outskirts of Huehuetenango, in the
western region of Guatemala. There, they have been feverishly treating
local patients as part of a volunteer medical mission that brings surgical
and general care to impoverished communities. It’s midmorning and the
empty kitchen offers privacy as Elena, the woman, speaks slowly in
Spanish, “Thank you,” she begins, a stream of tears covering her face. “My
family and I have never seen so many people trying to help my child.”
Cedars-Sinai employees began participating in this annual medical
mission organized by the non-profit HELPS International eight years ago.
Babak Larian, MD, director of the Head and Neck Cancer Center was
leading the group of volunteers who made the trip to Guatemala at their
own expense last year to join others from hospitals around the U.S. Jim
Laur, Esq., vice president of Legal Affairs and one of the volunteer
employees leading the effort never thought there would be a place for
him on a medical mission. “There is a need for hands and feet and it’s
about being part of a team effort,” he says. “It doesn’t matter if it’s
chopping potatoes, translating, or running a lab specimen.”
The surgical teams performed 104 surgeries and completed more than
a thousand clinical consults in the six days they spent in Huehuetenango.
The people in this poverty-stricken region of Guatemala have no access
to health care. They walk for miles to the clinic and then wait for hours
to seek out life-changing treatments and procedures which are considered
routine in developed countries like hernia and cleft palate repairs,
hystorectomies, and dental extractions—though medical teams in past years
have also undertaken a gallbladder removal, and even delivered a baby.
For some villagers, this is often the first opportunity they’ve ever had
to see a doctor. With a lack of regular check ups and no medical history
to speak of, the work of the medical teams is particularly delicate. After
performing thousands of lifesaving surgeries, the mission lost its first
patient last year—Ramiro, a five-year old boy and Elena’s only child. After
a routine tonsillectomy, he unexpectedly experienced complications and
had to be transferred via helicopter to the city hospital. Shortly after, he

passed away from a preexisting condition his family wasn’t aware he had.
Elena didn’t want their setback with her son to discourage the mission
from returning to her country. “She was worried we would never come
back and she wanted us to know that what we did was so important,”
Jim explains. “We don’t realize what a vital gift this project is for some
people. It was an unbelievable twist of fate that this child and his mother
taught us about life, about the importance of priorities,” says Laur.
Olivia Marroquin, an operating room/anesthesia technician and 36-year
Cedars-Sinai veteran, has gone on the trip every year since 2001.
“Ramiro’s mother saw how hard we worked to help her son,” says Olivia
who was born and raised in Guatemala. “It was heartbreaking and took a
lot of courage for her to thank us.”
The mission changes locations within Guatemala each year to maximize
the number of men, women and children it serves. “Cedars-Sinai embraces
the idea that we are part of a global community and what we can bring
these people is powerful,” Jim says. Volunteers on the mission are quick to
share that participating in this program is just as powerful for them. Olivia
explains, “It’s a life-changing experience that makes you appreciate more
of what you have and what’s around you.”

onstruction began in October on a much-needed addition to
the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center campus: the Advanced
Health Sciences Pavilion (AHSP). The building underscores
Cedars-Sinai’s bedrock commitment to responding to California’s
growing healthcare needs.
The AHSP will be an 11-story structure located on the eastern edge of
campus at the southwest corner of SanVicente and GracieAllen.It will house,
among other programs, Cedars-Sinai’s nationally renowned centers of
excellence in cardiology and neurosciences, a comprehensive spectrum of
outpatient services and procedure suites, and dedicated research space. From
every angle, the AHSP will feature the latest advances in patient-centered
innovations. The Pavilion will also boast six stories of parking, a conference
and education center, pharmacy, café, imaging facilities and a lab.
The building’s architecture by HOK, one of the world’s most respected
design firms and a leader in “green” buildings, incorporates the flexibility
to accommodate future advances in research and technology, and
features environmental and energy-saving innovations—making it a
candidate for Gold-Standard LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
“This new building is crucial to Cedars-Sinai’s future ability to meet
the community’s growing need for state-of-the-art outpatient care and
high-quality lifesaving research,” said Cedars-Sinai president and CEO
Thomas M. Priselac. The Advanced Health Sciences Pavilion is
scheduled to open in summer 2013.

Susanne and Ervin Bard shared a profound love for each other and
a deep commitment to Cedars-Sinai. Today, Ervin’s name graces the
walls of the hospital, and Susanne’s memories of her husband are

indelibly tied to the space where their generous spirit shined.
T
he Cedars-Sinai Founders’ Room means
a lot to Susanne Bard. It was there in
2003 that the Medical Center honored
Susanne and her husband Ervin for making a
significant gift in memory of their parents.
“It was in that room that Ervin and I had one
of the happiest days of our lives. In fact, I still
have a photograph of the two of us smiling
from ear to ear,” says Susanne. “He was so
proud to be part of this great institution.”
The Bards had discussed a second gift to
Cedars-Sinai but Ervin became sick and passed
away in 2006. “I was inconsolable,” says
Susanne. “I had lost my husband, the love of
my life, and best friend.” Still, she intended to
follow through with their philanthropy. “Ervin
would have wanted that,” she says. So, the
place that brought back joyful memories of a
day in 2003 was named in Ervin’s memory.
Susanne liked the idea of connecting a
second gift to the Founders’ Room. It’s a warm,
inviting space designed like a living room with
elegant sofas and chairs, and walls decorated
with floral serigraphs by Andy Warhol. CedarsSinai hosts get-togethers with friends of the
Medical Center in the Founders’ Room for
discussions on philanthropy and how to best
serve the community. Sometimes, the room is
offered to donors as a quiet place to sit and
think when family members are ill.
The Bard’s gift also symbolized how far the
couple had come from their once-humble

beginnings. Ervin was born in Hungary. His
parents perished in the Holocaust; Ervin and
his sister Gabriella survived. He spent several
years in Paris before moving to New York City
in 1952, where he met Susanne.
S
usanne was born in Hungary too. In
1948, she and her parents immigrated to
Westchester County, N.Y., after leaving
Budapest and living for a time in occupied
Germany. “As a Jewish family, we were very
lucky to get out,” she says.
She met Ervin only because he had
approached her father to go into business with
him. The venture never materialized, but her
father was not one to miss an opportunity.
“I have a nice daughter,” he said. “Why don’t
you come out and we’ll have dinner for you.”
That was the start of a two-year courtship.
“Ervin thought I was the most beautiful girl
in the world,” she says. “What more could I
hope for?” Her parents adored him and that
clinched it. They married—she at 19, he the
older man at 29.
Within six months, the newlyweds moved
to the Miracle Mile District of Los Angeles, and
her parents followed. Ervin sold insurance
then and Susanne accompanied him
on his rounds, waiting for him in the
car. “We were inseparable,” she says.
They saved little by little and
invested in some property. “First
small ones, then bigger ones,” she
says. “He gave up insurance when
those investments took off.”
Through their success, Susanne
says she and her husband never
forgot the lessons their parents
taught them about Tzedakah, the
Hebrew word for “charity.” “I knew I
wanted to give back to Cedars-Sinai
when my parents fell ill and received
such wonderful care here,” she says.
Susanne volunteers at Cedars-Sinai
one day each week, staffing the
eighth floor information desk in the
Department of Surgery. “I talk to
people in the waiting room and try
to calm them when they’re upset and
waiting to hear news about someone
in surgery or recovery,” she says.
“Helping them sort of helps me too.
It gives me such a good feeling.”
She admits that it hasn’t been easy
continuing on without her husband.
“I feel the loss every day,” says
Susanne. As she stands outside the
room where it all began, she runs
her fingers along the sign on the
wall. The silver letters read: “The
Susanne and Ervin Bard Founders’
Room.” “I cannot express what it
means to me to make this gift in my
husband’s memory,” she says.
“Somehow it brings Ervin close to
me, and I’m reminded that we did
this together.”

t began on a July 2008 weekend when Lucas
Goldbaum, now 13, complained of double
vision to his mother, Kathleen O’Connell.
The following day, Kathleen and Lucas received
the devastating diagnosis of a brain stem tumor.
Lucas said it best on his blog: “One day I didn’t
have a brain tumor [and] the next I discovered I
did. Now I’ve got to battle this thing in my head
and am very lucky to have an unbelievable
family and friends fighting by my side.”
He’s also lucky to have Kathleen as his
mother. She is a 20-year veteran of CBS News,
now senior story editor of “48 Hours Mystery,”
and a get-it-done-now person. She’s applied all
of her skills as a producer in television news
to organizing medical help for her son. As
colleague Jennifer Simpson puts it, “She is a
force of nature who moves mountains, walks
through walls, and makes things happen.”
At first, Lucas was very sick. “I don’t think
I left his side for three months,” Kathleen
recalls. But within hours of Lucas’ diagnosis,
Kathleen had recruited and organized friends
and colleagues at CBS into support teams.
Over the years, Kathleen has nurtured a huge
network of people who, when they heard the
news, launched a full-court press.
Some took care of Lucas’ younger brother.
Some did a year’s worth of research in a week,
assembling a huge global database on Lucas’
illness, doctors to call, clinical trials to investigate,
leaders in the field, and children with the same
disease. No stone was left unturned.
Ultimately, it was decided that Lucas’ best hope
to beat his disease lay in pioneering research
conducted at Cedars-Sinai, in the Maxine Dunitz
Neurosurgical Institute. The research, led by
John S. Yu, MD, director of Surgical NeuroOncology, and Keith L. Black, MD, chairman of
the Department of Neurosurgery, focused on
developing a unique vaccine to trigger a patient’s
immune system to attack the tumor. Says
Dr. Black, “We’ve treated close to 200 patients
with the vaccine and what we’ve found is that
if we are able to activate their immune system,
their survival is double that of the patients
whose immune system we cannot activate.”
While physicians at Columbia and Duke
universities were creating a unique chemo
cocktail for Lucas to keep the tumor at bay,
Kathleen decided to help accelerate the vaccine
research at Cedars-Sinai by launching a grassroots
fund-raising campaign. With the assistance
provided by her army of friends, family, and CBS
colleagues, she raised $250,000 in about two and
a half months. Dr. Yu calls the speed and reach of
the campaign “amazing and highly unusual.”
T
he extraordinary battle waged by Lucas
and his mom is awe-inspiring for many.
“Kathleen is a wonderful, warm, caring
mom who is a quiet storm,” says Dr. Black.
“Clearly, she is able to get some remarkable
things done. Their story just reaffirms our
belief in the human spirit and that nothing
is impossible.”
Lucas still has occasional headaches and
double vision—and his balance and coordination at
times are challenged—but the tumor has not grown.
He is going to school four hours a day, making his
seventh-grade honor roll, all the while maintaining
an infectious sense of humor and the strength
and courage of someone well beyond his years.
Above all, Lucas is surrounded by love:
from friends, family, neighbors, and strangers
(including the Tibetan Buddhist monks who
pray for him and the 20,000 visitors to his
CaringBridge Web site (www.caringbridge.org).
Every night, Kathleen and her son hold hands,
do guided imagery, and pray together. “I like
the person he’s become through this illness,”
says Kathleen. “He is my hero.”

leadership position in heart research, and
because we believe in championing the work of
a tremendously dedicated and gifted researcher.”
Dr. Marbán is a world leader in cardiology and
heart research. His 20-plus years of pioneering
research have led to key discoveries in gene- and
stem-cell therapies and new treatments for heart
attacks, heart failure and strokes. A Phase I
clinical trial currently underway at the Heart
Institute is studying a revolutionary therapy for
patients diagnosed with heart disease or who
have suffered a heart attack. The study is part of a
long-term effort to determine whether stem cells
taken from a patient’s own heart can repair
damage to the cardiac muscle. This research
could help a failing heart re-grow into a new,
healthy organ.

Man” fundraiser to benefit genetic testing for
hereditary breast cancer at Cedars-Sinai. Raising
more than $60,000 with the help of three New
York high schools, the CRESPI boys logged over
5, 750 miles on foot, which equals the roundtrip distance from Encino, CA to Times Square in
Manhattan. A portion of the proceeds support
the work of Ora Gordon, MD, MS, director of the
GenRISK Adult Genetics Program and her

The Art
of Healing
Kellie Davies admires
Alexander Calder’s Number 9
tapestry, displayed in the lobby
of the S. Mark Taper

The hospital’s fine art collection of
donated museum-quality pieces
does much more than educate and
beautify: It is a testament to the
healing powers of art.
BY NANCY SOKOLER STEINER
affected by the collection that he joined the
Advisory Council for the Arts. “My goal is to see
art play an integral part in our patients’ lives.”
Contributions to the collection come from a
variety of sources: grateful patients, members
of the Board of Governors, staff physicians,
and word of mouth among members of the art
community. “We’ve gotten some wonderful,
unique pieces from donors,” says Advisory
Council member Jane Glassman.
Alice Lainer felt her two John Okulick
sculptures would be in good company at the
Medical Center. “We knew that Cedars-Sinai had a
nice collection of Southern California artists, many
of whom we’ve collected over the years,” she says.
“We were thrilled to find a place for the pieces
where they would be enjoyed and appreciated.”
T
T
he words echoed in artist Laddie John
Dill’s head as he shuffled through the
corridors of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center,
working to regain his mobility after hip
surgery: “Some day you’ll thank me.”
They accompanied him on other occasions
throughout the years: while waiting for test
results with friends or relatives and anticipating
the delivery of his grandson: “Some day you’ll
thank me.”
These words had been spoken to Dill more
than three decades earlier by philanthropist
and art patron Marcia Simon Weisman.
“I was a young artist at the time, and Marcia
approached me about donating a piece to
Cedars-Sinai,” recalls Dill. “Back then, I couldn’t
imagine ever ending up in a hospital, but she
told me, ‘Some day you’ll thank me.’ And she
was right.”
Dill is referring to his gratitude for the fine art
collection gracing the walls of Cedars-Sinai. “When
you’re looking at a Calder or a Lichtenstein … it
takes your mind off things,” says Dill, who creates
works combining natural pigments with manmade materials including glass, cement, and metal.
Marcia Weisman initiated the collection in
the 1970s. When her husband, Frederick, was
hospitalized, she brought one of his favorite
paintings to his room. Inspired by how the art
lifted his spirits, Weisman became convinced
that art promoted healing. She donated several
pieces to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and
convinced friends and other artists — including
Dill — to contribute as well.
Today, the hospital’s collection includes more
than 4,000 museum-quality pieces, consisting of
original paintings, limited-edition prints, and
sculpture. It boasts works by such luminaries as
Alexander Calder, David Hockney, Jasper Johns,
Roy Lichtenstein, Pablo Picasso, Robert
Rauschenberg, and Andy Warhol.
Weisman was prescient in her intuition about
the healing power of art. According to a National
Endowment for the Arts report, art promotes
health and well-being, and can have a positive
impact on the mood of patients, their families,
and the healthcare professionals who are
tending to them.
he collection is also playing a key part
in the rehabilitation process, with
curator John T. Lange giving tours to
certain patients who need to move around to
aid their recuperation. “Patients are motivated
to take a few extra steps or get out of their
wheelchairs to get a closer look at the art,” he
says. One recent excursion, which normally
lasts less than one hour, extended to 2½ hours.
“Patients just kept asking to see more and
more, and it went longer and longer. Finally,
the nurses had to put an end to it,” says Lange.
Staff members are as enthusiastic as patients.
“I’m very passionate about the art,” says Kellie
Davies, project manager at the S. Mark Taper
Foundation Imaging Center. Davies was
particularly struck by the response of children to
the artwork. “I’ve seen a father scoop up his baby
son and walk up to a picture. Having something to
focus on helped to divert the toddler and calm him
down,” she says. “The art draws children in and
distracts them in ways I didn’t imagine possible.”
In addition to its capacity to affect mood, the
fine art collection serves another role. “It’s a
unique opportunity for us to help educate the
community about the art and the artists,” notes
Lange, “and expose patients and visitors to a
culture of the arts.”
Ultimately, however, it’s the healing power of
“As a physician, I was exposed to the collection daily,
and dove into the world of contemporary art. My goal
is to see art play an integral part in our patients’ lives.”
—Bruce Samuels, MD
Cardiologist Bruce Samuels, MD, couldn’t
agree more. “The main purpose of our
collection is to promote healing,” says Dr.
Samuels, who chairs Cedars-Sinai Medical
Center’s Advisory Council for the Arts. The
group — comprising art professionals including
artists, art consultants, and gallery owners —
oversees the Medical Center’s collection.
“As a physician, I was exposed to the collection
daily and dove into the world of contemporary
art,” says Samuels, who was so impressed and
the art that drives the collection. As a patient —
and one who has spent time waiting for friends
and relatives undergoing procedures in the
Medical Center — artist Laddie John Dill knows
this well. “You’re walking the halls and you’re
kind of nervous … but to see something you
can actually lock into that’s worth looking at —
not just a poster, but the real thing — really
helps to alleviate the anxiety.”

For more than a century, people from
all around the world have turned to
Cedars-Sinai for world-class medical
treatment and research.
You can help to ensure that this legacy
will be available for generations to come
by making a planned gift to Cedars-Sinai.
Your gift provides tax benefits for you
and/or your estate, and it helps Cedars-Sinai
continue to provide the finest quality care, and
to conduct research that is vital to our Southern
California community—and to the world.
To learn how you can create your own legacy
at Cedars-Sinai, please contact Allyson Simpson,
Associate Director of Gift Planning, at
(323) 866-2902 or [email protected],
or visit the planned giving portion of our
website at www.csmc.edu/giving.

Meet CHRIS ANGELO WORD. Around Cedars-Sinai, he’s
known as “the walker.” Diagnosed elsewhere with colon
cancer, he came to Cedars-Sinai seeking the best possible
care. He walked the hospital halls from one appointment to
the next. After surgery, he walked the halls again to speed
up his recovery. Now he’s walking the fairway—grateful for
the hope of a normal life, and inspired to support others
who are facing cancer.

National Volunteer
Week Celebration
E
very year, Cedars-Sinai
celebrates the hard work
and dedication of more
than 2,000 volunteers who offer
comfort and support to patients,
families, and staff at the Medical
Center. This year’s National
Volunteer Week Celebration kicked
off on April 20th with the theme
“Cedars-Sinai Volunteers Go
Green.”
The Volunteer Department
celebrated Earth Day and linked
the global message of respect for
the environment to the respect of
human values embodied by
volunteerism. “Our volunteers help
people heal, they help people
rejuvenate, and they replenish the
human spirit,” said Barbara Leanse,
director of Volunteer Services. In
keeping with the eco-friendly
theme, and to minimize the carbon
footprint of the event, the daily
luncheons used recycled plates
and utensils. All volunteers and
guests received green shopping
bags made from reusable and
recycled materials.
The newest addition to
Volunteer Services this year is a
Teen Advisory board, comprising
young volunteers who organized
the Teen Awards and set in place
bylaws for other volunteers in
their teens. More than 600 of the
volunteers giving their time to the
hospital this summer were
adolescents.
