Located on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, these magnificent additions will create an unrivaled destination for heart care and specialty medical services to heal hearts and save lives for years to come. In fiscal year 2012, we reached significant campaign milestones. Funds raised to date total nearly $110 million in community support, and $830,000 from the staff and employees at Scripps La Jolla who participated in the spirited campus fundraising Conrad Prebys signs one of the last steel beams placed atop the Prebys Cardiovascular Institute last summer. campaign, “We Got the Beat.” This tremendous commitment from our employees reflects the pride they have in the work we do for our patients and their families. Last year we also formed the campaign cabinet. These generous community leaders are volunteering significant amounts of their time and resources, offering important insight and vision to help steer our efforts as we move toward our goal. We are thankful to all those who have helped us come so far so quickly. Every gift we receive illustrates the faith and trust you have in us, and supports our ability to remain at the forefront of medicine. The Prebys Cardiovascular Institute will open in 2015.

It is a critical resource for our community,” Gene says. Gene became a patient at Scripps Clinic after moving to the San Diego area in 1970. More than 40 years later, he remains a devoted patient, supporter and volunteer — serving as chairman of the heart, lung and vascular community advisory board and as a board member of Scripps Clinic and Scripps Green Hospital. Gene Ray, PhD Recognized as a leader in ingenuity, Gene Ray, PhD, co-founder of Titan Corporation, appreciates advancements that help make our lives safer, healthier and more efficient. True to his innovative spirit, Gene invests in medical excellence that impacts the health of our community. Most recently, he made a $1 million gift to benefit the John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion, a new Scripps Clinic that is part of the Campaign for Cardiovascular Care. “I believe San Diego is blessed to have access to Scripps Clinic and its renowned cardiovascular care. It is part of a premier health care system that is among the best in the U.S.,” says Gene. Gene also cites Scripps Clinic’s fellowship programs and clinical research programs as important investments. Both areas will be expanded through the Anderson Medical Pavilion. L.E. and Virginia Simmons Honor Brent and Sarita Eastman A member of the Prebys Cardiovascular Institute Advisory Board, L. E. has a history of supporting cardiovascular care. “I am so impressed with the Eastmans’ mission of collaboration and their philosophy of building successful, synergistic teams of amazing people,” says L.E. L.E. and Virginia Simmons Lively conversation at a holiday gathering inspired private equity investor L.E. Simmons and his wife, Ginny, to honor their longtime friends, Brent Eastman, MD, and Sarita Eastman, MD. Dr. Brent Eastman retired in 2012 from his long-term position as corporate vice president and chief medical officer at Scripps Health and is currently serving as president of the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Sarita Eastman retired in 2011 from her extensive service as a Scripps pediatrician. The Simmons’ gift, made through the Virginia and L.E. Simmons Foundation, will name a conference room at the institute in honor of both doctors. “I feel that a conference room exemplifies collaboration, and so it was a perfect way to honor the Eastmans,” explains L.E. “In this age of sophisticated technology, everyone needs to learn from each other so we can grow together.” INVESTING IN THE FUTURE | 7 Eileen and Jack Anderson: Honoring Family A Commitment to the Future The Andersons’ history of philanthropy with Scripps began almost as soon as they became patients. However, their most recent donation of $25 million to support Scripps Clinic holds a special place in their hearts. Honoring their son, it is a gift that recognizes both their commitment to family and to the health of our community. “John was always trying to make life better for somebody else — and that’s what Scripps does,” says Jack. “They’re doing great things here, and we want to make sure they can continue to help others the way they helped us.” Eileen and Jack Anderson In September 2012, Eileen and John (“Jack”) R. Anderson IV donated $25 million to help build the newest addition to Scripps Clinic, a 175,000-square-foot, multispecialty medical building on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. In honor of this tremendous gift, the John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion is named after their youngest son, who passed away from cancer in 2004. Jack and Eileen first heard about Scripps Clinic in the 1980s. From their first experience nearly 30 years ago to today, they’ve never gone anywhere else for their health care. Through the years, Scripps physicians helped Eileen and Jack triumph over many serious medical conditions, including Jack’s heart surgery for an enlarged aorta. During the long days and nights that sometimes accompanied their care, the couple came to see their expert physicians as more than just doctors. “We think of Scripps as part of our family,” the Andersons echo. 8 | INVESTING IN THE FUTURE “Through their generosity and spirit of giving, Jack and Eileen have enhanced the lives of others and enriched us personally,” says Chris Van Gorder, president and CEO of Scripps Health. “The John R. Anderson V The new building is a tribute to John R. Anderson V. Medical Pavilion will build on their legacy of giving, and help us continue to provide state-of-the-art care to our community for decades to come.” Jack and Eileen continue to enjoy every day with each other, and spending time with their two other children, Wendy and Bruce, and grandchildren. With tears in his eyes, Jack says, “If it wasn’t for Scripps, I wouldn’t be alive today.” John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion Advanced Care in a Compassionate Environment The John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion will be a state-of-the-art medical center where physicians and staff provide the compassionate care and leading-edge treatment that are synonymous with Scripps Health. This new Scripps Clinic facility will also help advance medical research and education, complementing our bench-to-bedside methodology that ensures patients have access to the latest medical discoveries and breakthroughs. The Anderson Medical Pavilion will be connected to the world-class Prebys Cardiovascular Institute, and offer a wide variety of specialty services, including: • Interventional and integrative cardiology • Gastroenterology • Pulmonary medicine • Vascular surgery • Neurology • Neurosurgery • Nephrology • Diabetes and Endocrinology • Infectious disease diagnosis and treatment The Anderson Medical Pavilion will be located on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla.

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE | 9 Scripps Radiation Therapy Center Scripps Radiation Therapy Center Rays of Hope for Cancer Care Last fall, Scripps Health reached a major milestone in providing leading-edge cancer care with the opening of the Scripps Radiation Therapy Center. Located on the Torrey Pines Mesa, the state-of-the-art facility offers the most advanced medical technology in the world to treat — and help beat — the disease. approaches. One of the accelerators, the TrueBeam STx, is only the third in use in Southern California. The center also has 10 exam rooms and an ambulance bay. The 30-member professional staff includes radiation therapists, physicists, nurses, dosimetrists and patient service representatives. Combining radiation cancer treatment services from Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla and Scripps Green Hospital, the $44 million, 41,000-square-foot facility is specially designed to take advantage of the latest technology while providing a comfortable, healing environment for patients. For more information about how you can support the Scripps Radiation Therapy Center, call us at 858-554-3046 or visit scripps.org/giving. The focal points of treatment are three highly sophisticated linear accelerators, which deliver carefully calculated doses of high-energy radiation, damaging or killing cancer cells while minimizing the impact on surrounding tissues and organs. Powerful, fast and flexible, they allow physicians to treat patients with greater precision and in less time than other The center uses state-of-the-art linear accelerators to treat cancer. 10 | INVESTING IN THE FUTURE Fulfilling a Dream to Care for Others Agnes has been a Scripps patient for years, and became more involved in fundraising in gratitude for the care her sister received here. As a member of the Scripps Cancer Care, Stevens Division, Planning and Development Council, the Rancho Santa Fe resident partners with Scripps and opens her home for community presentations. These events, presented by Scripps physicians, provide expert insight about cancer-related topics and give the attendees a chance to interact with leaders in the field. Agnes Barrelet (left) and Mim Britton At age 10, Agnes Barrelet told her parents that she wanted to be a neonatal nurse and work in the newborn nursery. While she did not become a nurse, Agnes did fulfill her dream of becoming involved in the medical field — as a donor and volunteer. “I want the community to get to know Scripps and understand that it is a private nonprofit that needs their support,” says the French native, who runs her own charitable organization to assist underprivileged children. “Events with the physicians are very powerful; and I feel that once they understand Scripps, people will want to support the organization as much as I do.” H.G. Fenton Company Donates $3 Million for Breast Cancer Services biopsy capability. The center will also have trained breast care coordinators to help facilitate access to additional diagnostic testing and patient and family education. With views of the Pacific Ocean, it will offer a warm and nurturing environment that promotes healing. The center is named in honor of Emily Fenton Hunte, whose motivation for giving was simple. (Left to right) Carol Hunte, Henry F. Hunte II, Letitia Hunte Swortwood, Henry Hunte and Chris Swortwood joined Scripps leadership for a special celebration to honor the Emily Fenton Hunte Breast Care Center. “My mother wanted to help people,” recalls Letitia Hunte Swortwood. Thanks to the support of H.G. Fenton Company, Scripps Health will be able to enhance and expand vital women’s services. As part of the extensive Scripps network, the center already holds a prestigious accreditation from the National Accreditation for Breast Centers, a program of the American College of Surgeons. The Fenton Company’s generous gift will ensure that Scripps is able to remain on the leading-edge of breast health and care. The new Emily Fenton Hunte Breast Care Center at Scripps Green Hospital will be a 5,000-square-foot facility that utilizes state-of-the-art tools and diagnostics, including four digital mammography units that improve early detection and breast For more information about how you can support women’s services at Scripps Green Hospital, call us at 858-554-3046 or visit scripps.org/giving. INVESTING IN THE FUTURE | 11 EXPANDING HEALTH CARE Every year we treat more than a half-million patients through the dedicated efforts of 2,600 affiliated physicians, 13,500 employees and 1,600 volunteers. As our Southern California population continues to grow, we are rising to the challenge by expanding emergency and other health care services throughout our network. Creating new facilities and modernizing our existing ones enables us to continue saving and enriching lives, train physicians for the future and advance medical research. We would not be able to do this without significant philanthropic support. 12 Bringing the community together and exceeding its goal, the 354 Campaign raised more than $1 million to benefit the expansion efforts under way at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. The new Scripps Encinitas critical care building will open in spring 2014. The Campaign for Scripps Encinitas The grassroots effort, named for the address of the hospital, was led by volunteers, including community advisory board members and members of Circle of Life 100, a service organization that raises awareness and support to benefit vital health services at Scripps Encinitas. Phase I Reaches $38 million Goal to Expand Emergency Care Thanks to our generous donors, physicians, staff and community leadership, the Campaign for Scripps Encinitas reached its Phase I $38 million goal to expand emergency care for our North County communities. The campaign supports a multi-phase effort under way at Scripps Encinitas to ensure that we continue to provide advanced lifesaving care to individuals and families — when they need it most. The funds raised during Phase I are helping us build a two-story, 62,000-square-foot critical care building that includes a 27-bed emergency center on the ground floor and a 36-bed medical/surgical unit on the second floor. Opening in 2014, the critical care building will also include state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical equipment, expanded ambulance bays and specially designed private patient rooms. We are thankful to all those who have supported the campaign through their generosity of resources, time and spirit. We are especially thankful to Tom and Mary Ellen Grant, who made the very first donation to the campaign of $1 million. Inspired by their commitment, additional significant contributions followed from the Leichtag Foundation, LaVerne and Blaine Briggs, and many others. We also thank the members of the Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas Community Advisory Board and Circle of Life 100 support group, who led the successful 354 Campaign that raised more than $1 million toward our expansion. A dedicated promenade adjacent to the new emergency department will include benches, trees and columns of tiles to recognize those who made gifts to the 354 Campaign. In 2013, we are embarking on Phase II of the campaign to further expand vital services.

Philanthropy Fuels Encinitas Expansion At the center of the Campaign for Scripps Encinitas is a 62,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art critical care building — but at its heart are the numerous community supporters and individuals who have donated significant funds, time and energy to make the vision a reality. As a result of the community’s generosity, the new facility at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas will open in spring 2014. Designed to accommodate North County’s growing population, it will be the first major campus expansion since 1992. “We are incredibly thankful to our donors and community advisory board members who have helped us move closer to expanding health care for North County families,” says Carl Etter, the hospital’s chief executive. “Their commitment to the health of our community is vital to ensuring that our families, friends and neighbors continue to have access to world-class health care close to home.” Advanced Care for Our Community Last August, hospital supporters saw their efforts in action when the final beam was placed on the skeleton of the critical care building. Once completed, the new structure will include a 27-bed emergency department; a 12-bed emergency observation unit; six ambulance bays for improved access for first responders; a helipad; and 36 new medical/surgical beds on the second floor, all in private rooms for greater patient comfort and confidentiality. Celebrating 50 Years of Caring In 2014, Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas will celebrate 50 years of caring for our community with the latest advancements in health care and treatment. As part of the extensive Scripps Health network of hospitals and outpatient facilities, Scripps Encinitas is widely recognized for medical excellence and specialty care. Watch for news about community celebrations throughout the year, culminating with a historic celebration event in spring 2014.

She was an active community organizer and volunteer supporting education and health care causes. From canvassing neighborhoods and mobilizing voters to hosting and planning fundraising events, Jinx saw volunteering as part of her civic duty. In 1991, Jinx focused her efforts on enhancing community health care for North County residents. She chaired the Scripps Encinitas Gala and helped raise funds to expand the hospital’s emergency department. “She led by example — teaching us that it is important to have a purpose and believe that you can make a difference,” says her daughter, Lizbeth. Lizbeth Ecke, Jinx Ecke and Paul Ecke, III Elisabeth “Jinx” Ecke Receives Distinguished Achievement Award In 2012 the Circle of Life 100 honored La Costa Glen resident Elisabeth “Jinx” Ecke with their annual Distinguished Achievement Award. As a volunteer and generous supporter of Scripps Encinitas, Jinx and the Ecke family have been committed to enriching the lives of others through service and philanthropic leadership. Born in Indiana, Jinx had a modest upbringing. Her parents later moved the family from the Midwest to California and, after driving across the country, they arrived in San Diego with only $100. Today, the Ecke family legacy of philanthropy and support continues. Building upon their mother’s efforts more than two decades ago, Jinx’s children, Paul and Lizbeth, gave $100,000 through the Ecke Family Foundation in 2010 to benefit the emergency department expansion at Scripps Encinitas. To date, the family has donated more than $500,000 to support the hospital. Paul also serves on the hospital’s community advisory board, which was instrumental in raising $1 million through the 354 Campaign. “We have been blessed with good fortune and the opportunity to invest in the health of our community,” says Paul. “We are proud to support Scripps Encinitas to ensure our family, friends and neighbors have access to the most advanced medical care available.” “They really struggled for a long time,” says Paul Ecke, III, Jinx’s son. “I think my mother’s childhood experiences influenced her passion and energy to give back.” 5th Annual Champagne Toast More than 150 guests who support Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas celebrated another successful year at the 5th Annual Champagne Toast last December. Held at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club, the event recognized the achievements of the Campaign for Scripps Encinitas.

Scripps Proton Therapy Center Opens This Fall Scripps Health is continuing to expand its nationally recognized cancer program to benefit individuals and families throughout the region. Opening in fall 2013, the Scripps Proton Therapy Center, located in the Mira Mesa area of San Diego, has the capacity to treat 2,400 patients per year. Proton therapy utilizes highly sophisticated equipment to treat adult and pediatric cancers that have not spread, including cancers of the prostate, brain, eye, lung, spine, breast, head and neck. The 102,000-square-foot center will provide the most comprehensive range of radiation therapy options available, enhancing the services available through Scripps. TRANSFORMING MEDICINE | 19 Unlocking the Future of Medicine The Shaffer Family Foundation Supports Groundbreaking Medical Research The IDIOM study is part of a new frontier in medicine, in which researchers collect information on all 6 billion data points in the human genome — an individual’s complete set of genetic material — and look for mutations that could cause illness. It is believed to be the first whole genome sequencing study of adult idiopathic disease to date. Jim and Tanya Shaffer Progressive thinking has led to great success for Jim and Tanya Shaffer. Honoring their philosophy, they are proud to help fund innovative medical research that may revolutionize health care in the future. Recently, their foundation, the Shaffer Family Foundation, made a gift to support the IDIOM study — short for “Idiopathic Diseases of Man.” The groundbreaking study uses whole genome sequencing to help determine the causes of idiopathic human diseases — those serious, rare and perplexing health conditions that defy a diagnosis or are unresponsive to standard treatments. “Our mission is to fund medical research that increases the probability of curing disease in our lifetime and benefits a vast population,” say Tanya. “We believe that supporting forward-thinking physicians like Dr. Topol and his team will unlock the medicine of the future.” In addition to supporting genomic research at Scripps Health, the Shaffer Family Foundation is helping fund leading-edge programs at the Shiley Center for Orthopaedic Research and Education (SCORE) at Scripps Clinic, including development of a bioprinter capable of printing 3D shapes of tissue material for cartilage and bone replacement. “We are excited to support institutions like Scripps that are pushing the envelope of innovation and not afraid to step outside the box,” says Tanya. LVAD Program Receives Advanced Certification Scripps Health’s Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) Program, which brings hope to eligible patients with advanced heart failure, has earned the Certificate of Distinction for Advanced Certification in Ventricular Assist Device from the Joint Commission. A sign of quality, the certification reflects an organization’s commitment to meeting certain performance standards. An estimated 5 million individuals in the U.S. suffer from congestive heart failure, a chronic condition that occurs when the heart muscle is failing and unable to pump blood throughout the body. 20 | TRANSFORMING MEDICINE Under the medical directorship of J. Thomas Heywood, MD, the program offers patients the LVAD, a mechanical device that is attached to the heart through surgery and helps it pump blood. The innovative therapy can stabilize a patient’s condition and improve the quality of life. After receiving an LVAD, most patients say they usually feel more energetic and more capable of enjoying their lives. For more information about how you can support the LVAD Program, please contact us at 858-626-5390. $3.75 Million Qualcomm Grant Supports Wireless Medicine Research “Support from the Qualcomm Foundation positions us to catalyze the future of digital medicine — a new form of health care that is remarkably precise, tailored to individual patients and designed to engage them in their own care,” says Eric Topol, MD, Scripps Health’s chief academic officer and director of STSI. The grant will advance clinical trials of biosensor systems, microscopic sensors that are put in the blood stream to detect the earliest indicators of heart attacks, type 1 diabetes and certain types of cancer. Scripps researchers will work to develop mobile apps for the embedded biosensors that will wirelessly send medical data to the patient’s smartphone, triggering a message to seek treatment when needed. The Qualcomm Foundation awarded a three-year $3.75 million grant to the Scripps Translational Science Institute (STSI), which was established by Scripps Health in collaboration with like-minded organizations to support research designed to revolutionize medicine. The grant also supports development of a handheld genotyping device that can determine a patient’s DNA compatibility with certain drugs, which could lead to a radical change in the way prescriptions are filled at pharmacies and help eliminate the costly use of ineffective drugs. Remembering Walter J. Zable (1915-2012) As a progressive inventor and businessman, Walter J. Zable changed the landscape of national security and mass transit systems — from missiletracking technology to transportation smart cards used in subways around the world. Through ingenuity and hard work, he transformed a small business into a $1 billion global enterprise, Cubic Corporation. For more than 60 years, Walter led Cubic through innovation and transformation. At age 97, he was the oldest active executive at any publicly traded company. A longtime friend of Scripps, Walter supported heart and orthopedic care at Scripps Clinic and Scripps Green Hospital. He also made gifts to our graduate medical education and fellowship programs, benefiting future generations of physicians and medical scientists. Although he passed away in June 2012, Walter’s legacy lives on in the lives of those he inspired in so many ways. With fond memories, we extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends. As Walter developed revolutionary electronics with global applications, he also supported the advancement of medical technology right here in San Diego. TRANSFORMING MEDICINE | 21 Hervey Family Fund Helps Advance Scripps Robotics Program The children of Jean and James Hervey are reminded each day of the benevolence of their parents. As advisors for the Hervey Family Fund at the San Diego Foundation, they honor their legacy by granting millions to enrich our community. In 2011 the Hervey Family Fund made two gifts — totaling $1.1 million — to support the Campaign for Scripps Mercy Hospital. Specifically, the contributions benefited the $2.5 million challenge grant by Doug Barnhart to develop robotic surgical suites at Scripps Mercy. The innovative surgical suites will provide the technology and space for surgeons throughout the Scripps Health care system to perform minimally invasive robotic surgeries. The new operating rooms will also be equipped with advanced video conferencing capabilities to teach surgeons and medical specialists about the benefits of lifesaving, robot-assisted surgical procedures. “The decision to support Scripps Mercy Hospital was easy. The hospital provides vital care to the core of San Diego and it is in great need,” says Matthew Hervey, one of the Hervey Family Fund advisors. “By supporting the challenge grant, the value of our gift is doubled. It is an investment in the future health and well-being of San Diego, and I’m excited to watch it grow.” The Hervey Family Fund was established in 2000, with an $85 million bequest from Jean Hervey. Jean wanted to support the community that had supported her family and late husband for so many years. “By giving everything they had to charity, my parents committed an incredible act of social responsibility,” says Matthew. “It is a privilege to fulfill their wish to inspire others to give back, get involved and support Scripps Mercy.” For more information about how you can support Scripps Mercy Hospital, please call us at 619-686-3836 or visit us at scripps.org/giving. Mercy 1000 Celebrates Spirit of Giving Members of Mercy 1000 gathered together last December to celebrate the generous donors who have helped us raise awareness and funds to support Scripps Mercy Hospital.

Darlene Shiley Commits $5 Million to Support Scripps Clinic Building on a legacy of giving that started more than 30 years ago, Darlene Shiley has committed $5 million to Scripps to support advanced orthopedic care. The Donald P. and Darlene V. Shiley Musculoskeletal Center will consolidate Scripps orthopedic subspecialties to offer comprehensive treatment and research at one convenient location on the first floor of the Anderson Outpatient Pavilion. “Darlene and her late husband, Donald, have been part of the Scripps family for more than three decades — supporting programs and services across a wide continuum of care from bench to bedside — and we are very fortunate to be the beneficiary of their continued generosity and support,” said Chris Van Gorder, president and CEO of Scripps Health. “This gift underscores their commitment to the health of our community, and will help increase access to world-class orthopedic treatment and care.” The new Shiley Musculoskeletal Center will centralize a wide array of services, such as orthopedic surgery (including internationally regarded programs in joint replacement and reconstructive surgery for the hand, elbow, foot, ankle, shoulder and hip); neurosurgery; sports medicine; podiatry; rheumatology; and state-of-the-art diagnostics and rehabilitation. The facility will also be home to groundbreaking orthopedic research and provide training to the next generation of physicians. Two post-graduate fellowships will be added, and additional orthopedic specialists will be recruited. For more information about how you can support the Donald P. and Darlene V.

TRANSFORMING MEDICINE | 23 CARING FOR OUR COMMUNITY Caring for our community is the foundation of all that we do at Scripps. We honor this commitment every day by providing leading-edge health care to families and individuals from Chula Vista to Oceanside. Donors play a vital role in our efforts, and we are extremely grateful for the generosity that is helping us continue our mission. Last year the Scripps Mercy Hospital capital campaign, Caring for the Future, culminated in raising more than $35 million to modernize and expand this important community resource. And, thanks to philanthropy, Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute continues to advance diabetes prevention and care. In addition to donor gifts, the guidance of our community advisory boards has helped us accomplish significant achievements that continue a legacy of medical excellence to ensure San Diegans will have access to the latest treatments and compassionate care — both today and tomorrow. 24 Philanthropy Helps Project Dulce Pay Off Project Dulce participants experienced drops in blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure levels. According to Athena Philis-Tsimikas, MD, corporate vice president, Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute, and lead author of the paper, the secret to the program’s success is the promotoras, specially trained advocates from within the Latino community who teach classes in Spanish to patients diagnosed with or at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Project Dulce, a comprehensive community outreach effort initiated by Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute to fight diabetes in San Diego County’s Latino population, celebrated 15 years of service in 2012. Largely funded by philanthropy, research shows that it’s paying off. Founded by a broad collaboration of San Diego health care and community-based organizations, the project combats diabetes by recruiting peer educators from the community to work directly with patients — educating them about changing eating habits, adopting exercise routines and other ways to help manage this chronic disease. A paper featured in Clinical Diabetes, the journal of the American Diabetes Association, analyzed program outcomes over the last 15 years and revealed that “As members of the community, promotoras are able to relate to the Latino population,” says Dr. Philis-Tsimikas. “This helps overcome cultural barriers and encourages participants to adopt a healthier lifestyle that can prevent or reverse the disease.” The study also showed that patients who worked with a promotora had markedly better results than those who received traditional diabetes management. The program has been so successful that Scripps has provided special training across the nation to help other health care systems adopt Project Dulce’s innovative strategies.

CARING FOR OUR COMMUNITY | 25 Linda Loehr: Making a Difference in Diabetes Care “The onset was very sudden. Lori was 13 and went into a coma during the middle of the night,” Linda recalls. “We were frightened by her diagnosis but we were relieved when we learned that Lori’s diabetes could be managed with constant monitoring.” Since then, Lori has maintained a healthy diet, exercised regularly and participated in experimental trials to better manage her diabetes. She has also benefited from revolutionary advances in monitoring technology. Linda Loehr Each year Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute treats nearly 10,000 patients with diabetes, thanks in large part to passionate donors like Linda Loehr. “My daughter has greatly benefited from the significant advances made in diabetes care during the past three decades,” says Linda, who has supported Scripps Whittier since 1995. “I am happy to give to programs and research that further enhance care for people living with diabetes.” Linda’s daughter, Lori, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1970. “When Lori first began using an insulin pump, it was a turning point in her life,” says Linda. “Now, 28 years later, she uses an iPhone to monitor her blood glucose levels.” With ongoing developments in diabetes care, Linda and Lori continue to educate themselves about managing the disease. Together, they often attend community seminars hosted by Scripps Whittier. “Each time we attend, we learn something new,” says Linda. Through her generosity, Linda continues to support research that holds great promise for finding new and improved treatments for the disease.

Cory Crommett: Feeling Good and Giving Back A few months later, Cory found himself whisked to the emergency room at Scripps Encinitas for a suspected heart attack. After an angiogram found that a small artery was completely blocked, the 54-year-old retired industrial contractor received a stent immediately. The entire process took about 90 minutes. “It was amazing, I woke up hungry” he laughs. With the support of his wife, Karen, Cory lost 70 pounds in four months after his heart attack, and continues to maintain good health. Cory is a member of the Scripps Encinitas Memorial Hospital Community Advisory Board and also hosts events with Karen to support the Campaign for Scripps Encinitas. His firsthand experiences with Scripps have fueled his commitment. Cory Crommett Cory Crommett is passionate about getting his community involved in Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. The Olivenhain resident credits the hospital for both saving his life and for helping him say goodbye to his father, who passed away from lymphoma in February 2012. “I am truly grateful to Scripps Encinitas for getting me to the other side of the rainbow,” says Cory. “I will continue to contribute however I can to this wonderful place. It is part of the Crommett DNA to give back, and I can think of no better organization to support than Scripps Encinitas.” “I am so thankful that my dad’s physicians, Ron MacCormick, MD, and Scott Eisman, MD, were truthful with me about his condition,” says Cory. “Because of their compassion and honesty, I was able to hold my dad in my arms as he drew his last breath.” Rendering of the critical care building currently under way at Scripps Encinitas.
