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. Lawrence B. Platt | Chair, Board of Directors CATALYST WINTER 2011 1 Building Momentum In Fashion: Healthy Hearts P Barbra Streisand at the opening gala of Bloomingdale's new Santa Monica store, with renowned cardiologist and director of CedarsSinai's Women's Heart Center Dr. Noel Bairey Merz, and Michael Gould, Bloomingdale's chairman and chief executive officer 2 CATALYST WINTER 2011 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 Friends is a way to say thank you. It’s something you want to do because you feel it really does go to good use. … It’s about extending the good will to people who are in need of some very critical medical attention.” —ROBERT NORDIN, patient, whose gift honored Stanley Jordan, MD, and the Cedars-Sinai kidney transplant team By making a gift through CIRCLE OF FRIENDS, you will help Cedars-Sinai make advances in biomedical research, educate tomorrow’s physicians, and continue serving the community for years to come.

CATALYST WINTER 2011 3 A Building Momentum 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.” Contact the Blood Donor Facility at (310) 423-5346 to make an appointment. Heart Health There’s an app for that, too. Women are different from men, especially when it comes to heart disease. That’s why the Cedars-Sinai Women’s Heart Center has launched a new mobile app full of valuable tips to help women improve their cardio well-being.

A Legacy of Compassion, A DedicationtoExcellence 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. CATALYST WINTER 2011 5 The Major Catalyst Shelley and Herb Lazarus keep their son’s memory alive by supporting the battle against pulmonary disease. 6 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 “We were really trying to keep Robert’s name in the community where people would be getting help for pulmonary disease.” — SHELLEY AND HERB LAZARUS By Kim Kowsky 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.” CATALYST WINTER 2011 7 "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. CATALYST WINTER 2011 9 The Philanthropic Spark “Even when he had brain cancer, and he could barely speak and was confined to a wheelchair, he came to work. He just left us all really inspired.” —OFFICER HOPE MAXSON, about her CHP partner Victor Quiroga CHP Officer Hope Maxson and Karla Quiroga— widow of CHP Officer Victor Quiroga—teamed up to honor his memory and support research at Cedars-Sinai. 10 CATALYST WINTER 2011 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.” to 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. CATALYST WINTER 2011 11 Forward Motion Wonder Wall The Cedars-Sinai Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program—under the direction of Marla Dubinsky, MD — is dedicated to bringing personalized treatment to children suffering from IBD through the study of genetics and immune responses. The newly dedicated Donor Recognition Wall honors the generous families and community partners who share a compassion and motivation to improving the quality of life for children with IBD. 1 Bruce Goldsmith with Dr. Marla 1 Dubinsky, the Abe & Claire Levine Chair in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Transcending Transfusions Blood transfusion researcher and expert Eleftherios Vamvakas, MD, was named the Rita and Taft Schreiber Chair in Transfusion Medicine. Taft Schreiber’s mismatched blood transfusion and tragic death at a Los Angeles hospital compelled the Schreiber family to take an active interest in transfusion medicine. Dr. Vamvakas’ research on blood transfusion risks, effects, and recipients supports public policymaking to ensure widespread blood-safety improvements. 2 Bernard and Lenore Greenberg with 2 Dr. Vamvakas King of Hearts Tom Gordon, senior vice president of CedarsSinai Health System, oversees the organization’s Medical Delivery Network of physicians. His dedication to physicians, patients, and staff was exemplified when Jon Kobashigawa, MD, was named The DSL/Thomas D. Gordon Chair in Heart Transplantation Medicine. Dr. Kobashigawa is associate director of the CedarsSinai Heart Institute, director of Advanced Heart Disease, and director of the Heart Transplant Program. His leadership in the heart transplantation field is recognized internationally. 3 Dr. Kobashigawa with his wife, Carol 3 12 CATALYST WINTER 2011 Kawata, and Tom Gordon A Large Gift for the Smallest Patients Many enthusiastic guests joined Maxine Dunitz and Cedars-Sinai leadership last spring for several events celebrating the launch of the Maxine Dunitz Children’s Health Center. Created as a permanent “endowment for learning,” the Center supports a vast array of superior medical services provided to infants, children, and their parents at Cedars-Sinai: neonatal and pediatric intensive care units, a variety of clinics ranging from pediatric surgery to orthopedics, as well as child life services, among others. The endowment also ensures recruitment and retention of highly skilled physicians and researchers. “My hope,” said Mrs. Dunitz, “is that more and more babies and children will benefit from our world-class Medical Center, now and in perpetuity.” 1 1 President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas M.

CATALYST WINTER 2011 13 Forward Motion Stroke of Genius Patrick D. Lyden, MD—chair of the Department of Neurology and a highly respected neurologist who has conducted extensive research into cerebrovascular disease and potential treatments for stroke—was installed as the Carmen and Louis Warschaw Chair in Neurology at a ceremony on May 18, 2010. The Warschaw family’s legacy of support also was celebrated at the event. Dr. Lyden helped lead a pivotal trial of the only proven treatment for stroke: the clot-busting drug tPA.

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. 30 CATALYST WINTER 2011 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. CATALYST WINTER 2011 31 Community Pulse 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.” 1 2 4 32 CATALYST WINTER 2011 3 5 6 7 1 Susan Dorfman, Sandra McNamara, Ruth Ortega, and Diana Baum 2 Philip and Lorraine Shapiro 3 Rose and David Zatz 4 Garret Jones, Denise LaChance, Steve Svensen, Leslie McCave, Karen Fuhrman-Plush, Chuck Simon with Moki, and Dennis Cajili with Riley 5 Felice Montieth, Shelby Brune, and Katie Smith 6 The late Frieda Meltzer and Cedars-Sinai President and CEO Thomas M.
