I have enjoyed serving on the Foothill
Development Council since 2003 and will be completing my two-year
term as chairman in early January. I am pleased that my successor is
Barbara Latasa, a valuable member of the Development Council since
January 2006 and a longtime resident and business owner in Glendora.
Leadership of the Foothill Foundation itself is also changing hands. As
you know, Mike Foxworth, executive director of The Foothill Foundation
for the last five years, is now on long-term medical leave to address his
ongoing battle with cancer. (He reports that his doctors are giving him
encouraging news and good test scores as he focuses on returning to good
health.) In Mike’s absence, the team that is running the office includes
Sherry Heinrich and JoAnne Wilson under the guidance of Irene Bourdon,
CVHP senior vice president of Strategic and Corporate Development.
They are being assisted by Brian Gauthier, Senior Partner from The
Littlejohn Group, a consulting firm that specializes in best practices in
community hospital philanthropy.
The Foothill Foundation is also working on implementing new
strategies based upon a series of recommendations from The Littlejohn
Group. One that has been heartily endorsed by the members of the
Foothill Development Council and Citrus Valley Health Foundation was
the need to be more collaborative with each other and to capitalize on
ways that will enhance the philanthropic efforts of both. The groups met
in September and are now developing a strategic plan, integrated with the
needs of CVHP. Our plan will be operational as we start the New Year.
With great hopes for an improved economy and good health to you
and yours, please enjoy the holidays and help us make 2010 a wonderful
year for The Foothill Foundation.
Sincerely,
WES PURKISS
Development Council Chairman

Commitment to our
community remains strong
Dear Friends,
As we end 2009, I would like to take a moment to give thanks and reflect
on a few highlights, as well as an interesting observation.
Let me first speak to the obvious, which is that we have all faced a number
of challenges as a result of the economy. While we have made some changes
here at Foothill, we continue to be firm in our commitment to provide quality
care to the individuals we serve.
It is as a result of our commitment to our community that in spite of the economy we have continued to
invest in capital equipment throughout the hospital to ensure that we provide state-of-the-art community
care. Some of these investments have been made possible through generous donations.
In addition, we continue to examine opportunities to enhance services that have resulted and will continue
to result in greater efficiencies. One example of this is the fact that we now have much shorter wait times in
the Emergency Department, which has definitely aided us during this busy flu season.
Next I feel compelled to share with you something I learned as a result of a recent study. This study
revealed that most of the patients who utilize Foothill Presbyterian Hospital, as well as a number of
community members, are unfamiliar with the Citrus Valley Health Partners system of which Foothill has
been a part for approximately 13 years. Hence I believe it is important for us to continue to educate our
community about all of the important resources available within the Citrus Valley Health Partners
organization, which in addition to Foothill is comprised of Citrus Valley Medical Center – Queen of the
Valley Campus in West Covina and Citrus Valley Medical Center – Inter-Community Campus in Covina, as
well as Citrus Valley Hospice and Home Health. Within our system of hospitals we have the expertise,
equipment and technology to meet the medical needs for the acutely ill newborn, the father who requires
heart surgery or the family struggling to make end-of-life decisions for their grandmother’s care. It is good to
know our patients will always be directed into hands best prepared to heal them.
Finally, as we fast approach the holiday season I want to wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season
and look forward the New Year.
Sincerely,
DIANA ZENNER, RN, BSN, MBA

Dr. John DiMare Jr.:
One of our first physicians remembers
Foothill’s early days
r. DiMare loves to reminisce. In fact, he’s
thought about planning a reunion of physicians
who were among the first to serve on the staff of
Foothill Presbyterian Hospital (FPH), complete
with wine and cigars!
D
Appropriately enough, Dr. DiMare’s first
encounter with FPH was at the official open house
for the new hospital, held in March 1973. He was
so impressed with the new facility – with its
modern construction, the layout and floor plan,
up-to-date equipment and its patient amenities –
that he was pleased that he had applied for active
staff privileges at this beautiful hospital.
“I was particularly impressed with how the
hospital was designed, with the foresight to leave
room for expansion,” notes Dr. DiMare. “Foothill
was a definite step above the hospital where I’d
been working.”
Dr. DiMare was also encouraged to join FPH
by several colleagues from his previous hospital,
including Dr. Melvyn Krause, Dr. Robert Allen,
Dr. George Coloviras and Dr. Sidney Siegel.
Dr. DiMare and his colleagues were correct to trust
their instincts about the new hospital. Patient
census grew quickly at the facility, as did his
practice. “Within six months, I was as busy as I
wanted to be!” remarks Dr. DiMare.
“I think one of the reasons the hospital grew so
quickly is that, as a nonprofit facility, it was
supported by both the medical community and the
public right from the start,” Dr. DiMare continues.
“At the time, there was a for-profit hospital in
town, yet the physicians preferred to support
Foothill due to its nonprofit status.” Other
physicians involved in the hospital’s early days,
which focused on primary care, included Drs.
Stanton, Kramer and Van Vranken.
“Don Adams, who was CEO when the hospital
opened, was also key to our early success,” notes
Dr. DiMare. “Don was a very dynamic leader who
was particularly skilled at managing both the
medical staff and the hospital’s finances. Some
years later, Don and Dr. Stanton both became ill
and were admitted to the hospital they had helped
establish. We were honored to take care of both of
them.”
And just like it had done three decades earlier,
the philanthropic support of its physician
community continues to help the hospital flourish
and grow.
One of the first major fund-raising campaigns
to actively involve physicians was the renovation of
the maternity unit several years ago. Next,

F O O T H I L L P R E S B Y T E R I A N H O S P I TA L
“It’s important that the Medical Staff show
their commitment to the hospital. You’ve done all
your work here and all of your patient care here.
It’s important as a physician to donate back to the
hospital so this medical institution will be here in
the future,” says Dr. DiMare.
Dr. DiMare retired from his private practice in
2004 and currently serves as the Chief Medical
Officer at FPH. And since 2000, Dr. DiMare has
been a member of the Board of Directors of Citrus
Valley Health Partners, which governs FPH, Citrus
Valley Medical Center – Queen of the Valley
Campus, Citrus Valley Medical Center
Inter-Community Campus and Citrus Valley
Hospice.
Originally a resident of Pasadena, Dr. DiMare
and his wife, Helen, moved to Glendora in 1975.
Their children, Dawn and John III, were raised and
educated in Glendora. Dawn now lives in Foothill
Ranch with her husband, Nicolas, and young
children, Charlotte and William. John III lives in
Long Beach and is in a master’s program in Child
and Family Counseling. In 1994, Dr. DiMare and
Helen moved to Laguna Beach; he commutes to
Glendora by both car and Metrolink train.
“The goal of Foothill Presbyterian Hospital has
always been to maintain the highest quality of care
and to be responsive to the needs of the
community,” explains Dr. DiMare. “Thanks to our
very cohesive Medical Staff, our dedicated nursing
staff, and all our other employees, Foothill has
been able to maintain its quality and its dedication
to the community over the years.”
“What I saw in 1973 is still there,” concludes
Dr. DiMare. “The quality of care, the Medical
Staff, and the community support. While the
introduction of managed care was definitely a
challenge and a struggle at first, we were able to
persevere – in fact, I believe Foothill made the
transition more easily than most hospitals. We’ve
definitely had to adjust with the times – but have
kept alive our culture of quality care and
community.”

Health care is

business
By Robert Curry, President & CEO
Citrus Valley Health Partners
elping individuals
and communities
thrive is not simply a
matter of accessing the
latest breakthroughs in
medical technology.
Cutting-edge care must
go hand-in-hand with a
sincere commitment to
quality, compassion
and customer service,
key elements in any
prescription for health.
It is a rare combination
of ingredients in a
health care facility, and I am proud to say that
Foothill Presbyterian Hospital gets it right, offering
a remarkable array of programs and services
enhanced by its affiliation with Citrus Valley
Health Partners (CVHP).
H
Through its three hospital campuses and
hospice, CVHP provides communities throughout
the East San Gabriel Valley with a comprehensive
continuum of care, from family-centered maternity
services in the Carl E. Wynn Newborn Inn at
Foothill to a state-of-the-art newborn intensive care
unit at Citrus Valley Medical Center – Queen of the
Valley Campus to compassionate end-of-life care at
Citrus Valley Hospice. At CVHP, we take an
integrated approach, ensuring that our facilities
work together to join patients and providers in
strong, collaborative partnerships that keep people
well in body, mind and spirit.
Our philosophy is simple: Whether they are

exceptional care in a nurturing environment that
understands – and caters to – their needs. With
more than 3,000 employees and over 1,000

Your philanthropic support of Foothill
Presbyterian Hospital allows this continuum of
care to continue because your donations impact
more than just this facility; they impact a whole
health system.
On behalf of those of us in the extended CVHP
family, thank you for helping us help to help others
to live richer, fuller and healthier lives.

distinguished career. A specialist in strengthening
community hospital systems, he has led philanthropy
programs and provided consultation to health care
institutions ranging from Verdugo Hills Hospital in
Glendale to St.Vincent’s Medical Center in Los
Angeles to Daniel Freeman Hospitals in Inglewood
and Marina del Rey. He was instrumental in raising
the primary funding for the Prostate Cancer
Research Institute, and recently helped revitalize a
foundation for the St. Joseph Regional Health
System in Texas as that organization’s interim
executive vice president. Gauthier’s expertise
extends beyond the realm of health care
philanthropy. He previously served as assistant vice
president of Pepperdine University and executive
director of external affairs for the Darden School of
Business Foundation at the University of Virginia,
and in a remarkable partnership with Cornell
University, he ran the most successful library
fund-raising campaign in Ivy League history.
With a diverse skill set, including major and
principal gift development, strategic planning and
organizational management, Gauthier is a welcome
addition to The Foothill Foundation family.

FPH Friendship Card
An important connection…
hen you think of the word “friend” or
“friendship” what comes to mind? Most likely,
you first think about people in your life who have
made a difference, right? But then, have you
considered the ways in which local caregivers may
become your friends, some you’ve never met?
W
That truth came so close to home during the last
three years as Dee Dee and I fight the battle to beat
cancer. The professionals and other support people
at the health centers we needed to bring about our
cure are all now “Friends for Life!”
Our connections to vital, local health care
providers of medical treatment are a lifeline not just
for serious stuff, but also for everyday situations.
This was never more apparent than on a recent day
when checking on the health status of an FPH
Dee Dee and Mike Foxworth.
friend and his wife in Glendora. I sensed something
was not exactly right so I asked an FPH nurse to
call. It took some persuasion, but the friend was
soon transported to the hospital for treatment that could not wait and may not have happened without the
timely call from that nurse.
Is this a typical story? Probably not! But it does underscore the value of community connections that
aren’t going to receive much attention unless the story happens to you or a loved one.
And this is one reason this friend and I subscribe to and hold an FPH Friendship Card (formerly known
as the Gold Card). This is more than just a membership program – it is a real connection to people who may
make an important difference in your time of need.
For more information or to have a program brochure sent to you, please call the Foundation office at
(626) 857-3348.
Sincerely yours,
MIKE FOXWORTH
[email protected]
P.S. My health and medical treatment require me to take an extended medical leave, but I look forward to
joining you in our continued support of The Foothill Foundation.
