Intangible Treasures
W
e tend to talk about the enormous generosity of our
donors in tangible terms. We use words like “investment,”
“resources,” and “endowment.” And we cherish the brickand-mortar results: state-of-the-art facilities, a world-class faculty, and
exceptional academic programs. Cedars-Sinai’s success has been built,
nurtured, and sustained by you, our philanthropic partners.
But the intangible treasures you share with us are timeless. Donor
loyalty across years, and even generations, enables Cedars-Sinai to plan
and grow. Philanthropic vision cultivates new programs and research
initiatives. And compassion is what binds our family of caregivers,
scientists, and supporters.
Examples of extraordinary loyalty are all around the Medical Center.
The inimitable Barbra Streisand is a generous partner whose gifts go
far beyond philanthropy—to education and advocacy. She tirelessly
champions women’s cardiac health and has provided her leadership,
along with her name, to the Barbra Streisand
Women’s Heart Center at our Heart Institute.
In this issue, you will also find the
story of an exceptional couple, Robert
(Bob) and Georgia Roth. When Bob found
himself surviving—and thriving—after heart
transplantation surgery, the Roths made a
gift that will support bold heart research for
generations to come. Compassion, vision,
loyalty: The Roths possess these intangible treasures in spades.
So does the automaker Lexus. For eight continuous years, Lexus has
funneled its pioneering spirit into the Board of Governors Gala, which
supports projects from advanced cancer care to heart stem cell research.
Year after year, the company helps fund game-changing research—and
donates a top-of-the-line luxury vehicle for the gala’s opportunity
drawing—asking absolutely nothing in return.
We are deeply grateful to each and every visionary donor who
inspires success and sustains us through difficult times. And we give a
warm Cedars-Sinai welcome to our new donors: more than 10,000 of
you joined us in fiscal year 2012.
With your gifts—tangible and intangible, but all 100 percent
heartfelt and 100 percent appreciated—the future of biomedicine and
compassionate care at our Medical Center knows no bounds.
Thank you.
“Donor loyalty across years, and even
generations, enables Cedars-Sinai to plan
and grow. Philanthropic vision cultivates
new programs and research initiatives.”

The Gift of Life—Twice
CATALYST FALL 2012
en years ago, Dylan Worthen became the youngest, smallest
kidney transplant recipient ever at Cedars-Sinai. Today, he’s a
healthy tween, thanks to the dedication of his parents, Annette
and Ron, and the visionary care he received at Cedars-Sinai.
When he was still in his mother’s womb, the situation was very different.
Ultrasounds revealed Dylan had multicystic dysplastic kidneys. Simply put,
his kidneys had formed abnormally and were covered in cysts. According
to their community doctor, the condition amounted to a death sentence.
Their refusal to give up hope led the Santa Clarita couple to the
office of Andrew Freedman, MD, director of Pediatric Urology at
Cedars-Sinai and vice chair of Pediatric Surgical Services. Things
weren’t quite as grim as they’d feared. Dr. Freedman told them about
options that could save baby Dylan—including a kidney transplant.
Dylan was born at Cedars-Sinai and, for a year, his kidneys held up.
When a transplant became inevitable, Ron and Annette insisted that one
of them serve as the organ donor. Her smaller size meant the task fell to
Annette, as her kidney would better fit into baby Dylan’s abdominal cavity.
Unfortunately, tests revealed another hurdle. The antibodies in Dylan’s
system would reject his mother’s kidney. Nearly a third of patients suffering
kidney failure have highly sensitized immune systems poised to attack a
donor organ as though it were a harmful intruder, making them ineligible

for transplants. Baby Dylan turned out to be among that one in three.
Cedars-Sinai had the solution. Stanley C. Jordan, MD, and his team of
researchers at the Kidney and Pancreas Transplant Center had developed an
innovative process called intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy. The
therapy reduces the risk of rejection by adding antibodies to the patient’s
bloodstream that offset the effects of the hyper-vigilant antibodies already
in place. Unlike many other anti-rejection therapies, IVIG does not suppress
the entire immune system; it works by boosting the patient’s protection
against infection.
About 40 percent of the patients who come to Cedars-Sinai for a kidney
transplant are highly sensitized. According to Dr. Jordan, between 95
percent and 97 percent can be successfully desensitized with IVIG. At 12
months old, Dylan became the youngest Cedars-Sinai patient to benefit
from this remarkable new therapy.
When all was ready, J. Louis Cohen, MD, surgical director of the Kidney
Transplant program, led the operation to place Annette’s kidney into
her baby son. The procedure was a success. The combined efforts of the
multidisciplinary expert team—which included pediatric nephrologists,
urologists, dietitians, nurses, and surgeons—resulted in a healthy baby
and a mother who recovered enough to care for him in her hospital room.
Dylan, now 11, is a typical, energy-filled tween. Although his transplant
bars him from playing contact sports, he remains athletic, enjoying
swimming, baseball, and volleyball. He also loves his PlayStation®, and his
username reveals his good humor about what he went through.
It’s “Kidneykid.”
“If it wasn’t for Dr. Stanley
Jordan’s research, our son
wouldn’t be here today.
He needed a second kidney
transplant after his first
was rejected. This is very
high risk, and many doctors
won’t do it, but Dr. Jordan
is remarkable. We traveled
to Cedars-Sinai from the
South so he could save our
Did you know?
23-year-old son’s life.”
Iconic American writer Gore Vidal
and his partner, Howard Austen,
gave up La Rondinaia—their
longtime home on Italy’s Amalfi
Coast—to live out “the CedarsSinai years,” so they would be
close to the best possible medical
care. Austen died not long after
they returned to the Hollywood
Hills in 2003, while Vidal passed
away at age 86 in July 2012.

The Sports Spectacular Fellowship Program—the
largest fellowship endowment at Cedars-Sinai—
fosters the research of five outstanding young
medical scholars, scientists, and physicians
each year. This year’s group of impressive
young researchers is the sixth cohort of
Sports Spectacular fellows. Their potentially
groundbreaking work includes studying new
treatments for heart disease, stimulating the
brain to fight Parkinson’s, repairing facial
trauma, and investigating hormones in the gut
in the quest to cure diabetes. The Wordle™

When it comes to
nutrition and fitness,
summer is no time
for a vacation from
healthier choices.
Nurturing Better Habits
Milk or soda?
Carrots or chips? Exercise or TV?
Let’s face it: Unhealthy
choices can be tempting no matter what our age. But a growing number
of parents and children in disadvantaged Los Angeles neighborhoods
now make healthier choices when it comes to questions like the above—
thanks to Cedars-Sinai’s Healthy Habits program aimed at combatting
childhood obesity. Healthy Habits is helping children and families learn
about healthy eating and physical activity with programs reaching
elementary and middle school students, parents of preschool children,
and families in underserved communities.
In partnership with LA’s Best, Koreatown Youth and Community
Center (KYCC), and other community organizations, Cedars-Sinai recently
expanded these programs to include summer sessions. We caught up
with them one day last August. Parents and kids alike proved that it’s
never too late—or too early—to cultivate healthy habits.
Cedars-Sinai’s Healthy Habits programs
foster good nutrition and exercise habits for
both adults and children.

They’ve been working out together several times a week since late
June. Wandering through the maze of moms in motion are children who
seem fascinated by the music and movement. After the women sit on the

Helping parents set a good example for their kids is just one of the
positive effects of this Healthy Habits Exercise in the Park program.
Participants have lost weight, toned muscles, made friends—and they leave
this last session of the summer with a resolve to keep moving.
Jackie Cole, for example, is highly motivated after losing 10 pounds over the
summer. She now does Zumba workouts at home with her 6-year-old daughter.
Jackie has discovered exercise makes her feel better emotionally as well as
physically. As she puts it, “I get anxious sometimes, but the workouts help Zen
me out.”
Did you know?
Cedars-Sinai’s Healthy Habits
programs are part of a strategic
effort to combat childhood
obesity and reduce or prevent
the devastating health effects
associated with poor eating
habits and lack of physical
activity. In the 2011–12 school
year, these programs reached
more than 2,500 elementary
and middle-school children,
teachers, parents, and families
through more than 17,000
educational encounters. PHOTOS BY TED & DEBBIE

The 15 second-graders in Sunny Hu’s classroom sing to the tune of “Itsy
Bitsy Spider,” with the lyrics changed to provide a lesson about how milk,
yogurt, and cheese “can make you tall and grow.” The children enjoy
themselves so much that they barely miss the details of the spider’s perilous
waterspout climb. Sunny, a Cedars-Sinai Healthy Habits educator, has this
group’s full attention for an hour of games and activities designed to stretch
their minds and bodies. Part of Cedars-Sinai’s wide-ranging effort to fight
childhood obesity, the weekly workshop is offered over a six-week period at
KYCC’s summer day camp as well as several other L.A. day camps.
Sunny leads the children in versions of “Red Light, Green Light” and
“Bingo” that highlight healthy foods. She makes the most of every teachable
moment by keeping the focus on fun.
And now it’s time to exercise. Sunny calls out the name of a food and the
class must remember a different movement for each food group. No problem.
These kids are quick. So when Sunny says “green bean,” they immediately
bend over to touch their toes and then rise up to become a “stretchable
vegetable.” The whole class giggles every time the dairy group comes up and
they get to sway their hips and do the “milk mambo.”
The session ends with the students mixing together yogurt, blueberries, and
whole-wheat nuggets cereal to make a yogurt parfait. They appear to enjoy
this nutritious snack as much as if it were a dish of ice cream.
Mission accomplished.

The Major Catalyst
Not
Mıssıng

Multiple Grammy® Award-winning
superstar Barbra Streisand—the only
artist ever to receive Oscar®, Tony®,
Emmy®, Directors Guild of America,
Golden Globe®, National Medal of Arts,
and Peabody awards—recently set her
sights on a different type of record.
She is lending her energy, resources,
and star power to help end decades of
gender-biased research and provide new
hope, education, and breakthrough
treatments for women suffering from,
or at risk for, cardiovascular disease.
From the moment she learned that more
women than men die of heart disease—
and of the disparity in gender-appropriate
research—Barbra Streisand became a vocal
advocate and supporter of the Women’s
Heart Center at the Cedars-Sinai Heart
Institute. She began supporting the center
in 2007, rolling up her sleeves and taking
an active role in raising awareness and
research funding. Then, by 2012, she made
her biggest commitment of all—bringing her
personal commitment to $10 million, and
raising an additional $12 million for a total of
more than $22 million, for the newly named
Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center.
Through her advocacy as a visible
spokeswoman and philanthropic leader,
Streisand’s work is music to the ears of
women everywhere. Here we take a look
at some of the high notes she has hit in
this important effort.

CATALYST FALL 2012
A proud role | “I have played many roles over the years,
but one that makes me particularly proud is the role
I play as a supporter of the Cedars-Sinai Women’s
Heart Center.”
Leadership | “I chose to support the Women’s Heart
Center at Cedars-Sinai because of the leadership
role they are taking to advance heart care, research,
and education focused on women. Shockingly, we
are 50 years behind on the research since, up until
recently, women have been treated based on tests and
diagnostics done mostly on men, and heart attacks
present differently in women than they do in men.”
Education and change | “Women need to be educated
about female cardiovascular disease, and the medical
community must be propelled toward change.”
Facing the odds | “As we go about our everyday lives, it’s
easy to take for granted the strong, steady beating of
our hearts. But, sadly, the odds are that many of us will
someday face serious cardiac problems. The fact is heart
disease continues to be the leading cause of death for
both men and women in the United States.”
“I am so happy to be a
part of this bold new
initiative at Cedars-Sinai,
and I know the work done
by Dr. Noel Bairey Merz
and her colleagues at the
Women’s Heart Center
will help save many lives
and serve countless
women for
generations
to come.”

are still misdiagnosed because many doctors
are not given the proper training to know the

Gift of giving | “For me, the gift is in the
giving, not the recognition. But I felt such

TheYentl
Syndrome
After decades of gender bias in coronary disease
research—in which lifesaving treatments were
developed through studies conducted solely on
men—the tide is beginning to turn, thanks in large
part to activists such as Streisand and physicians
such as C. Noel Bairey Merz, MD, director of the
Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center and
the Women’s Guild Chair in Women’s Health.
Appropriately, this inequality was dubbed the
“Yentl syndrome” in 1991 by the late Bernadine
Healy, MD, the first woman director of the National
Institutes of Health—after one of Streisand’s
signature roles, a young woman who disguises
herself as a man to receive an education. And,
as in Yentl—which she also produced, directed,
and wrote—Streisand is playing a dynamic part
in eradicating gender disparities.
The Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center
is conducting research into female-pattern
ischemic heart disease, the development of
new diagnostic tools, and the advancement of
specialized care for women.
The Center’s physicians and researchers are also
working to better understand microvascular coronary
dysfunction, a condition that affects mostly women
and goes undetected in standard heart disease tests;
the heart’s small vessels in this dysfunction lose their
ability to dilate and allow blood flow. Researchers
are exploring the power of female stem cells in
regenerating healthy heart muscle after a heart
attack and have also identified gender-specific genes
that increase or reduce heart disease risk in women.
Streisand’s latest commitment will support an
expansion of these efforts, along with ambitious
programs in prevention and education. These
efforts will also benefit males, which is important
since heart disease is also the No. 1 killer of men.
10
CATALYST FALL 2012
Second-class citizens | “We can no longer
afford the unfair misconception that
heart disease is mostly a man’s problem.
Nothing could be further from the truth,
and in fact this fallacy relegates women
to second-class citizens. The need for
more research into women’s heart disease
is urgent.”
Hope | “Women have paid a huge price
for the medical and scientific community
not knowing about the important gender
differences in heart disease. What gives
me hope is knowing that the Cedars-Sinai
Women’s Heart Center is here for us.”
On the cusp | “We’re on the cusp of
understanding the uniqueness, in terms
of gender, in the way symptoms of heart
disease present themselves. Women must
learn to recognize the signs and symptoms
of the disease; physicians should also receive
specialized training to diagnose these women
and devise better treatments.”
Not just a man’s disease | “Tragically, too
often women are unaware of the danger
of cardiovascular and heart disease. Many
people still think heart disease is just a
man’s disease. That’s why it’s so important
that women empower themselves and get
educated about female cardiovascular disease.
It’s also important that the medical community
expand its research to better understand the
gender differences in this area.”
“Many people
still think heart
disease is just a
man’s disease.
That’s why it’s so
important that
women empower
themselves and
get educated.”
Research for women | “Women don’t typically
have the chest pains or left-arm pains.
They come into the hospital with nausea
and fatigue, but we don’t have the proper
diagnostic techniques or machinery because
the research in the past 50 years has been
done mostly on men.”
Catching up | “Thanks to Cedars-Sinai and
the brilliant Dr. Noel Bairey Merz, the
medical community will finally be catching
up. Proper research will be conducted and
communicated to women so that they will be
more informed about their own health.”
People who need people | “Heart research done
on women also benefits men. Isn’t it funny
how females always seem to help males?”

numbers of women affected by heart disease every year.

more than all cancers combined. That
is a staggering number.”
percent | “Consider this: 40 percent of
women don’t survive their first heart
attack. Now you can see why I’m
motivated to do this work!”
percent | “Seventy-one percent of
women experience early warning signs
of a heart attack, such as sudden onset
of extreme weakness that feels like the
flu, often with no chest pain at all.”
percent | “Nearly two-thirds of the
deaths from heart attacks in women
occur among those who have no history
of chest pain. Most women don’t know
this and, oftentimes, by the time they
enter the emergency room, their hearts
have suffered substantial damage.”

What Matters Most
B
arbra Streisand hosted an intimate event
at her Malibu estate in June to benefit
women’s cardiovascular disease research
and education at Cedars-Sinai. The
evening also brought forth the announcement that
the Cedars-Sinai Women’s Heart Center, under the
direction of C. Noel Bairey Merz, MD, has been
named for Streisand, a supporter since 2007.
In addition to Streisand and her husband, James
Brolin, attendees included President Bill Clinton,
media industry heavyweights Sumner Redstone, Ron
Meyer, and Haim Saban, fashion designer Donna
Karan, and actress Diane Lane. Martin Short provided
the comedy and Lior Suchard offered his mentalist
magic. Songs flowed from Josh Groban, David Foster,
and the host herself.
Streisand first began supporting Cedars-Sinai’s
Women’s Heart Center soon after she met Dr. Bairey
Merz and learned about the prevalence of women’s
heart disease and the disparity in research funding.
“In recent decades, women have made enormous
strides, but not when it comes to medical research,”
Barbra Streisand and David Foster perform.
12
CATALYST FALL 2012
Streisand told the crowd. “I was shocked to learn
that heart disease kills more women than all cancers
combined and that more women die annually of heart
disease than men. As a matter of fact, last year, nearly
half a million died from it. Yet given those statistics,
very little money is spent on research specifically for
women. To me, that is just unacceptable.”
After taking the stage to a standing ovation,
President Clinton spoke movingly about his mother,
Virginia Clinton Kelley, her losing battle with cancer,
and about how much Streisand’s friendship meant to
his mom during the year before she passed away. He
reiterated Streisand’s concern about the historic lack
of research on heart disease in women. “Our country
has always believed in being not only a laboratory
of democracy but also a laboratory of science and
advancement. You can’t do that with a straight face and
leave women out.” He went on to describe the passion
and dedication of his longtime friend Streisand, and her
commitment to the Cedars-Sinai Women’s Heart Center
that now bears her name. “I love you for doing this. We
all do, and we thank you.”

operating at peak performance. That’s a mission the people at Lexus
know all about.
“From a certain perspective, a human body and a car are similar,” says
Mark Templin, group vice president and general manager for the luxury
automaker. “It’s our job to make people’s lives better by coming up with
solutions to make sure all the complex systems are running optimally.”
Inspired by this shared perspective, Lexus has driven groundbreaking
efforts at Cedars-Sinai. Every year since 2005, Lexus has sponsored the
Board of Governors Gala. “Lexus has been an absolutely phenomenal
supporter and totally dedicated to Cedars-Sinai and the Gala,” says John
Coleman, Board of Governors chair from 2010 to 2011. The flagship
event has grossed more than $8 million to cultivate projects such as the
Center for Cancer Research and the Heart Stem Cell Center.
“Innovation is turbocharged inspiration,” says Nancy Hubbell,
Lexus Prestige communications manager. Lexus’s pioneering spirit has
brought the company to the forefront of the automotive industry, with
technologies such as a state-of-the-art pre-collision safety system that
can automatically bring a car to a full stop to avoid an accident. “You
have to believe in your goal and take unconventional steps to get there.
I’ve toured the Heart Stem Cell Center, and unconventional science is
exactly what they are doing,” says Hubbell.
Experts at the Center are using regenerative medicine technology to heal
patients whose hearts have been damaged by a heart attack. “Scientists
and clinicians at Cedars-Sinai are transforming medicine,” says Board
of Governors Chair Steve Hitter. “With Lexus as a partner, the Board of
Governors is right there beside them, paving the road to the future.”

“The progress Cedars-Sinai’s researchers are making
with heart stem cells is very exciting. And it’s not
medical care that will be happening 20 to 30 years
from now: It’s coming soon.”
—BOB ROTH
As Bob Roth and his 13-year-old granddaughter, Miranda,
climbed the 300 steps to the first
level of the Eiffel Tower in Paris
this summer, he couldn’t help but
marvel at the new heart that got
him there. “I wasn’t the fastest, but
I made it,” he says.
In January 2008, Bob had a
heart transplant. The Newport
Beach executive had already faced
down a quadruple bypass in 2003
and adopted a rigorous program
of diet, exercise, and medication.
But it wasn’t enough to forestall
advancing heart failure. “His heart
just didn’t want to work anymore,”
says his wife, Georgia.
“You can’t help but be terrified
when you hear the word ‘transplant,’”
Bob recalls. “But I was more scared
I wouldn’t get a heart than I was
about the surgery itself.”
His good fortune was fleeting.
He found out his failing heart had
also caused his kidneys to suffer
irreparable damage. So just one
year after his heart transplant, he
discovered he needed a kidney
transplant as well. After yet another
transplant surgery, Bob was
finally back on the road to good
health. “We were already a close,
blended family,” says Georgia. “This
brought us even closer,” adds Bob,
emblematic of a couple used to
finishing each other’s sentences.
Even as he recounts his many
medical challenges, Bob maintains
his trademark warm smile. “All that
tremendous support helped me
keep a positive attitude,” he says.
That attitude extends to the
expert medical team that cared
for him at Cedars-Sinai, with Jon
Kobashigawa, MD, at the helm.
“They’re not only smart people,
they’re kind people,” says Bob.
“Everyone made sure I always
knew what was happening, and
they watched over Georgia, too.”
Dr. Kobashigawa—associate
director of the Cedars-Sinai Heart
Institute, director of Advanced
Heart Disease, director of the
Heart Transplant Program, and
the DSL/Thomas D. Gordon
Chair in Heart Transplantation
Medicine—is recognized nationally
and internationally as a leader in
the heart transplant field. For the
second consecutive year, the Heart
Transplant Program performed
more adult heart transplants than
any other U.S. medical center.
“I had a lot of questions,
and they answered them all,”
notes Georgia, who serves as a
tireless advocate for her husband.
“She’s been outstanding,” Bob
says, adding affectionately,
“a warrior on my behalf.”
Bob remains active as president
of the company his father founded,
World Oil Corporation, but the
couple is taking time to “make
memories,” he says. They’re finding
more reasons to travel and to
gather with their extended family,
which includes eight grandchildren.
In 2011, Bob and Georgia
made a gift through the Robert S.
Roth and Georgia L. Roth Family
Foundation to name the Advanced
Heart Disease Center Lobby in the
Advanced Health Sciences Pavilion
now under construction at
Cedars-Sinai. Half of their gift
will go to the Heart Institute
Fund, which supports early-stage
research and clinical trials, among
other causes.
“The progress Cedars-Sinai’s
researchers are making with heart
stem cells is very exciting,” Bob
says of research to repair and
regrow heart tissue after an attack.
“And it’s not medical care that will
be happening 20 to 30 years from
now: It’s coming soon. Selfishly,
and for everyone else, I want this
to succeed.”

Career Calling
E
mily Vance knocks lightly
on a patient’s door without
hesitation, though she admits
this was once the most
intimidating part of every shift.
Wires snake around a nursing cart,
and Emily is quick to move them out
of the way. She stops to make sure the
patient’s bedside table is within reach,
and double-checks that the cart, full of
supplies, is locked.
If it weren’t for her pale blue
volunteer jacket, one would think she
was already a Cedars-Sinai nurse. Emily
is a natural. She buzzes in and out of
hospital rooms, checking for potential
safety hazards, tending to patient
needs—from offering a listening ear to
finding their favorite magazine—and
always remembering to sanitize her
hands when entering and exiting.
She is not a nurse yet, but thanks
to the Nurse Transforming Care at
the Bedside (TCAB) program in the
Volunteer Services Department, she
soon will be. A collaboration between
Volunteer Services and the Department
of Nursing, the TCAB program is
designed for people who are considering
a nursing career, and who have varying
levels of experience. TCAB volunteers
shadow nurses, getting a firsthand look
at the procedures and duties required.
They gain hands-on experience and
invaluable insights into a nursing
career—all while helping the Medical
Center’s nurses do their jobs efficiently
and effectively. Even sitting at the
nursing station offers insights into the
complex level of multitasking involved in
successfully running a hospital floor.
“The TCAB program has really given
me a well-rounded perspective,” says
Emily, a petite and energetic brunette
with sun-freckled skin from daily
outdoor workouts. “I get to see things
from both the patient perspective and
the nursing perspective, and I get a
close look at how much teamwork
nursing requires.”
Barbara Leanse, director of Volunteer
Services adds, “We are always looking
for ways to complement and supplement
our staff, and introducing volunteers to a
nursing career is a great way to do this.”
Emily is now enrolled in the
competitive Mount St. Mary’s accelerated
nursing program. “When I got my
acceptance letter, I was over the moon,”
she says. “When I began my first hospital
rotation, I realized immediately that
the TCAB program at Cedars-Sinai had
helped familiarize me with a hospital
environment. My experiences with TCAB
are going to give me a leg up. So many
of the Cedars-Sinai nurses have taken
time to explain nitty-gritty details about
equipment and processes.”
The nurse manager on her floor,
Joanne Pileggi, RN, thinks that TCAB
is exactly the type of program needed
for the future of the profession. “We
need more dedicated nurses in the field,
people who care. The TCAB volunteers
give to us and we are able to give to
them by being role models.”
After her first and most memorable
day as a volunteer, Emily was convinced
she was making the right career move.
“I spent all day holding a patient’s hand
while she was getting tests done. At the
end, the patient thanked me and her
nurse thanked me. I went home feeling
like a rock star—not only was I there
for the patient, but I helped the hospital
out, too.”
Emily Vance
First degree: Communications and Business
Psychology, Pepperdine University
Second degree: BSN, late 2013
To nurse or I always knew I wanted a hands-on
not to nurse: job while making an impact, and
TCAB was the deciding factor.
Lessons Nurses must navigate touchy
learned: situations that concern not just
the patient but also the patient’s
family. You can’t just be a good
healthcare provider; you need to be
an empathetic human being.
Ideal nurse is: Caring, supportive, positive
Inspiration: I grew up in Mississippi riding
horses. I was always very calm in
stressful situations, like when the
horses would get injured.
Hobbies: Working out, hiking, and spending
time at art museums
BN (Before I was a Spinning® instructor at one
Nursing): point, and I also worked in jewelry
design and sales.
BFF: My cat, Skittles! She’s a rescue cat.
Future goal: To be a nurse at Cedars-Sinai

“The vivid colors layered on the canvas draw me back time and again to this
unique painting. There is always something new to see in the work, in the
technique that went into its creation, and in what the artist is conveying to the
viewer. All of the artwork at Cedars-Sinai provides a great respite for those in
the hospital or visiting loved ones.”
