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.

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.

hen some 50 Cedars-Sinai staff members entered Thalians Joy WAuditorium one morning, they only knew they would be taking part in a team-building exercise. The 20 boxes of bicycle parts came as a surprise—but not as big a surprise as the joyful smiles that would ultimately result from the day’s labor. Mitch Martens, the senior administrative services associate in the Quality/ Performance Improvement and Medical Staff Services department who organized the exercise, tasked employees with assembling the bikes. The staffers were divided into teams, with each team responsible for building ﬁve or six bicycles. Within 90 minutes, 20 gleaming bicycles were ready for a quality inspection Cedars-Sinai employees had no idea the bikes by staff from Echo Park Cycles, which partnered with they were assembling were for anything other Cedars-Sinai on the project. Everything checked out, than a team-building exercise. and the bikes were judged safe for riding. But who would ride them? That answer came with the arrival of a bus ﬁlled with families from Upward Bound House Family Shelter in Culver City. Neither the Cedars-Sinai bike-builders nor the children on the bus knew what was in store. “When the employees saw the kids walk into the room wide-eyed and excited, they got it,” recalls Martens, who coordinated the surprise The kids from Upward Bound were with Michele Rigsby Pauley, RN, MSN, as surprised as the Cedars-Sinai CPNP, the program director for staff to learn the bikes had been Cedars-Sinai’s COACH for made for them.

CATALYST SUMMER 2011 7 The Major Catalyst Bear Ed and Shari Glazer make hospitalization more bearable for kids. Necessities By Louise Cobb

8 CATALYST WINTER 2011

“Kids who are hospitalized are so overwhelmed in a big and unfamiliar Huggy place, and the bears bring them back to what they know: play time.” Bears JOANNEORDONO

Five-year-old Anthony, who is recovering from a kidney transplant, is busy putting a bandage on his bear. He explains to Sandie that his bear is also going to need “a new furry kidney,” and goes into the details of what the recovery process will be like for his toy. “Kids who are hospitalized are so overwhelmed in a big and unfamiliar place, and the bears bring them back to what they know: play time,” explains Joanne. “They distract the kids, comfort them, and are used as educational tools to prepare them for any procedures or diagnoses the children might be dealing with.” In a technology driven world, it was important to Ed that he and Shari provide a simple childhood staple, especially in the hospital environment. “There’s only so much TV kids can watch,” he says. “The bears really engage the imagination in children. By the end of their stay, their bear has a name, and the nurses and doctors know each bear as an extension of their patient. How great is that?”

oanne and Sandie agree that the plush toy is also an excellent tool for promoting socialization. The Jcertiﬁed child life specialists host playroom activities dedicated to self-expression, where children custom- design the bears’ scrubs with fabric paints, markers, and stickers. The children visibly relax when they enter the safe haven of the playroom and get to dive into a pile of art supplies at the center of the table—even adolescent patients like 19-year-old Alejandro, who doesn’t hesitate to pick up the glitter paint and personalize his bear to break up the monotony of waiting for test results. He inks “I love you” on a pink bear for his girlfriend, his way of saying thank you for visiting and texting him while he’s been undergoing treatment for leukemia. Ed estimates that through his family foundation and the program at Cedars-Sinai, close to one million bears have been distributed. “I am just thrilled that I can do something to help the medical staff and put a smile on a patient’s face.”

10 CATALYST SUMMER 2011 Decked out in pink or blue scrubs, the bears have become an invaluable and much- loved presence at Cedars-Sinai. All patients from newborn to age 21 receive a bear upon admission to the Medical Center. Personalizing their teddy bears helps patients relax and breaks up the monotony of waiting for test results.

om Gordon is sitting in his office’s plush leather sofa with Jon TKobashigawa, MD. Artfully framed black and white photographs of his wife and two daughters decorate the wall behind them. Suddenly, Gordon gets up and pulls two employees into the room. He is now standing in the middle of his office, clearly energized, his hands sweeping through the air as he is about to make a point. “I don’t want to make this sound like it’s rehearsed,” he tells his colleagues, “but what’s the most important thing about the people I hire?” They relax.

A few hours earlier, Abe Gurman had been rushed to Cedars-Sinai after suffering a heart attack. He eventually made a full recovery. But at the time, Ryan’s thoughts were with his grandfather in his hospital room. His thoughts were also with the many hospitalized children who weren’t as lucky as he was. “I thought, ‘I have my whole life ahead of me— I wish all those kids in the hospital were as lucky,’” says Ryan, a hard-charging, basketball-loving, 14-year- old who seems mature beyond his years. “I’ve always wanted to make a difference; it’s part of who I am.” With that philosophy in mind, Ryan decided to donate a portion of his bar mitzvah money to Cedars- Sinai and start a charitable fund to help raise money for pediatric patients: thechildrensfoundation.org.

Spotlight on Success The most successful fundraising initiative in Cedars-Sinai history, the Discovering for Life campaign raised $357 million for the Medical Center. Two events provided a fitting conclusion to such a remarkable achievement. Former Paramount Pictures and MGM CEO Frank Mancuso and his wife, Fay, hosted an intimate gathering for top campaign contributors at their beautiful Italianate home, where guests dined poolside while trumpeter Arturo Sandoval and his band performed a set of jazz standards. “Vision” was the theme for the official closing 1 celebration—held on the rooftop of the London Hotel in West Hollywood three weeks later. Twin beams of light shone from Cedars-Sinai throughout the evening, while telescopes placed on the London Hotel roof enabled guests to admire the institution they generously supported. More than 250 celebrants attended, and many guests danced well into the night, as “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” musical director Rickey Minor and his band performed.

on Kobashigawa, MD, knows that men and women who have received a heart transplant often share a Jvery special bond with patients waiting for one. “They have a unique gift because they know what the patients are actually going through,” he says. Dr. Kobashigawa, the director of the Heart Transplant Program at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, started the Heart Transplant Ambassadors Program at UCLA and brought it with him to Cedars-Sinai in 2010. The ambassadors can relate to what it’s like to yearn for a real shower instead of a sponge bath; to the toll a transplant can take on a patient’s family life; and to the importance of having a good pair of headphones to tune out the beeping and hustle of a busy hospital ﬂoor. Dr. Kobashigawa quickly noticed the bonds the ambassadors were forging with patients, and the positive impact this had on their overall outlook and recovery. “When patients see how great the ambassadors look, it gives them real hope that they can get back to that quality of life,” Dr. Kobashigawa explains. “People perceive the heart as the core of the person,” he adds. “We have a very special connection to the heart because it’s the center of love and emotions—and I think heart transplant patients feel that connection very strongly.” Dr. Kobashigawa’s ﬁrst heart transplant ambassador was Bill Sears, a naturally positive and soft-spoken man who got his new heart more than 10 years ago. Just six months after his transplant, Bill began mentoring other patients through the process. “Dr. Kobashigawa understood that we were the bridge between the patients and the doctors,” he recalls. Bill is now the coordinator and the backbone of the program. He is over 70 but he often jokes with patients that his 30th birthday is coming up—the real age of his new heart.

You just have to believe.” something that I could That’s the main message Kim spreads to all of the patients she visits provide. on a weekly basis. “Some want to hear hard facts, some just want you Take away: When I talk to patients and to hold their hand, and others need you to be their cheerleader and I see their spirits rise— especially because I don’t encourage them,” she says. look sick—that’s an amazing feeling. he ambassadors’ sense of how to best support a patient is something that is particularly helpful to Dr. Kobashigawa and This team. “They know when patients want to talk and when they don’t,” he explains. The ambassadors also can report things that may not be apparent to the medical staff—such as the patient’s commitment and attitude toward the strict recovery regimen they must follow after being released from the Medical Center. When Kim goes back a week later to check on the patient who hadn’t been eating or taking her medication—she finds her out of bed and completely energized. According to the woman’s husband, every day since Kim’s visit, his wife has been getting out of bed and affirming Kim’s mantra, “I have got to fight for myself.” “That’s what keeps me coming back,” Kim says. “I feel like I’m paying it forward. The feedback I get from patients and families is phenomenal—I wouldn’t trade it for all the money in the world.” For Bill, his patients are his family. He describes the connection the ambassadors share with heart transplant patients as a “special fraternity and sorority.” To better explain, Bill extends his arm, exposing his wrist and says, “Feel my pulse—that’s someone else’s heart keeping me alive.” He smiles. “It’s hard to even comprehend.”
