E The Starting Point Building the Future of Medicine f you have driven past Cedars-Sinai recently, you know that construction is underway on the Advanced Health Sciences Pavilion (AHSP). It would be Idifficult to overstate the sense of excitement that pervades the Medical Center as the new 11-story, 450,000-square-foot structure rises above San Vicente Boulevard. Our community is on the threshold of a new era in healthcare. The AHSP will reshape the patient experience at Cedars-Sinai. The Pavilion will continue our tradition of highest quality outpatient care—housing our renowned centers in cardiology and neurosciences and a wide spectrum of services and procedure suites—while introducing a very new level of convenience. In Los Angeles, even short distances can mean long commutes, and parking is at a premium: The AHSP will provide six levels of parking and a pedestrian bridge connecting the building to the Medical Center towers. “Our community is on the threshold of a new era in healthcare.” The AHSP will help change the way discoveries become medicine. In traditional medical settings, doctors and researchers often work in separate locations. This tends to hinder the easy exchange of insights and information, and frequently delays the translation of laboratory discoveries into new treatments and therapies. Instead the AHSP will bring physicians and researchers—across medical and scientific disciplines—under one roof. The building’s design features common areas where medical professionals will naturally interact. Their synergistic partnerships will drive innovations that make a real difference for patients and their families. Add the building’s emphasis on environmental and energy-saving design and you will begin to understand why the AHSP is generating so much buzz at Cedars-Sinai and beyond. Of course, we are as filled with gratitude as we are with anticipation—our institution is profoundly fortunate to be launching such an ambitious project at a time when so many hospitals nationwide are struggling. We look forward to bringing you updates about AHSP’s progress. In the meantime, we encourage you to reach out to learn more, and to join us as we build the future of medicine. Arthur J. Ochoa | Senior Vice President for Community Relations and Development CATALYST SUMMER 2011 1 Building Momentum Open Your Heart to Health Go Red for Women Each year on February 4, healthcare professionals at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute wear red in recognition of National Go Red For Women Day. The annual event aims to increase public awareness of gender differences in heart disease and to foster support for more research into treatments. Of course, every day at the Heart Institute is dedicated to raising awareness and combating heart disease, which remains the No. 1 killer of both women and men in the U.S. n her mid-20s, lean, and a professional fitness trainer with no family history of heart disease, Danielle Burgener seemed at little risk from Ia heart attack. Then one night she felt “incredible pain” in her chest, jaw, and back. She and her husband, Todd, rushed to a hospital near their San Gabriel Valley home. The emergency room doctors struggled to determine the cause of her pain. One thought it might simply be an anxiety attack. It turned out to be a heart attack due to a rare coronary aneurysm. Fortunately, Danielle’s cardiologist referred her to the Women’s Heart Center at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, where specialists have extensive expertise in even the most complicated cardiovascular issues. Now her condition is being successfully managed, thanks to a course of treatment set up by Women’s Heart Center Director C. Noel Bairey Merz, MD. The origins of Danielle’s weakened artery wall remain something of a mystery, however. One factor may have been her pregnancy. She hadn’t felt in tip-top shape since giving birth to her son, Jackson. After being diagnosed in her 20s with a heart attack due to a rare coronary aneurysm, fitness trainer Danielle Burgener now helps other women be mindful of their own heart health. 2 CATALYST WINTER 2011 Remembering Irving Feintech rvingFeintech,formerchairmanoftheCedars- SinaiBoardofDirectors,passedawayatage92on IFebruary5,2011.HiscontributionstotheMedical Centerweremanyandwide-ranging.Hewasatthe forefrontofthemergerbetweenCedarsofLebanon andMountSinaiHospitalthatcreatedtoday’s Cedars-SinaiMedicalCenter.WithRobertSilverstein, heco-chairedthelandmarkCampaignforthe21st Centurytoexpandhospitalfacilities.Andfrom1993 to1995,hechairedtheBoardofDirectors.
