With Gratitude

G O O D N E W S FALL 2016 1

Mr. Charles T. Munger, GSH Chairman, Board of Trustees

Mr. Andrew B. Leeka, GSH President and Chief Executive Offi cer

What an extraordinary year it has been! We give thanks to our generous partners

and members of our Good Samaritan

community for their support throughout

this year.

Our vision for providing

outstanding healthcare in the

future will soon be realized

with the opening of the entire

Medical Pavilion.

The lobby and physician offi ces are

now occupied. Our Radiation Oncology

Department and the Frank R. Seaver

Ambulatory Surgery Center will be

operational in 2017.

Our Mother and Baby Care Campaign is

in full swing and we will soon meet our

goal of raising $3.5 million to offset costs

for the remodel of Labor & Delivery rooms

and for much needed equipment in the

NICU and Maternal Child Department.

These advances to our medical campus

could not have been realized without the

extraordinary support of our physicians,

nurses, staff, benefactors and our

Board of Trustees. We are so grateful

for their continued commitment to

Good Samaritan Hospital.

Of course, we can’t mention our Board

of Trustees without recognizing Susan

Blumenthal. Susan has been a friend

and patron of Good Samaritan for almost

40 years through her contributions as

a member of the Auxiliary, and later as

our Development Chair on the Board

of Trustees. We are grateful for her

dedication, time and contributions to the

Good Samaritan community.

We would also like to thank our team of

physicians, nurses and staff for putting our

patient care fi rst. We recognize one of our

many partners in health, Dr. Rangasamy

Ramanathan. Dr. Ram, as he is fondly

known, is a member of our physician donor

group, Partners In Health. Dr. Ram is one of

over 150 physicians who generously give

back to our hospital community. Thank you

Dr. Ram and all of our members of Partners

In Health for all you do!

The commitment of our Good Samaritan

community is the reason why we can

continue to provide the highest quality

care to all of our patients. We couldn’t do it

without the support and goodness of all of

our members of our Good Samaritan family.

Very truly yours,

Charles T. Munger

Chairman of the Board of Trustees

Andrew B. Leeka

President and Chief Executive Offi cer

to our Good Samaritan family!

n November 2014, the United States Department of

Agriculture, under its Rural Development umbrella, awarded

a $417,560 federal grant to Good Samaritan Hospital. Many

were asking: what is rural about downtown Los Angeles?

Absolutely nothing! However, Good Sam was able to make

the rural case for the island of Guam in a very exciting and

unique partnership.

Located 6,000 miles from Los Angeles, Guam is a U.S.

territory in the Micronesian region of the Western Pacifi c

Ocean. Good Samaritan Hospital has had a strong and lasting

bond with Guam for more than 30 years, providing medical

care to the island and nearby regions. Guam is one of the

most underserved areas where U.S. citizens do not have

access to specialized physicians available on the mainland for

complete medical care. Additionally, almost 30% of islanders

are medically indigent and cannot fi nancially afford to travel off

the island for medical treatment and as a result, Guam’s death

rate is 8.5% higher than the U.S. mainland. It became evident

when an opportunity to provide Telemedicine services for the

residents of Guam that Good Sam could provide a signifi cant

benefi t to the public health community.

Good Samaritan Hospital has

had a strong and lasting bond

with Guam for more than 30

years, providing medical care

to the island and nearby regions.

specialists in Los Angeles and the

Public Health clinics in Guam.”

Physicians Rachael Cayce, M.D.,

and Soha Dolatabadi, M.D. have

been instrumental as Good Sam’s

fi rst physicians providing medical

services via telemedicine.

Dr. Dolatabadi described the need

for telemedicine perfectly: “One

gentleman from Guam came to

see me last month. His gout had

gone untreated and many of his

bones have been destroyed. He

is not even 40. This could have

been managed. He didn’t have to

suffer this much and then become

disabled. The telemedicine project

will provide a patient with the

opportunity to manage his or her

disease and lead a fuller life.”

Good Sam physicians are currently

providing medical consults with

a Guam Nurse Practitioner out

of the Northern Region Clinic in

Dededo. The Program is expected

to expand telemedicine services

to the Southern Region Clinic in

Inarajan, as well as the smaller,

more remote Public Health sites

in Santa Rita and Tiyan within the

next six months.

Good Samaritan Hospital,

in partnership with Guam’s

Department of Public Health and

Social Services (DPHSS), offi cially

launched the Guam Telemedicine

Program on June 8, 2016. Medical

consultations via telemedic video

workstations have already begun

for dermatology and rheumatology

patients on the island. Leveraged

with the USDA grant, Good Sam

raised an additional $200,000

to purchase and provide high

defi nition cameras, digital

monitors, networking equipment

and electronic diagnostic devices.

Why Public Health? Because nearly

30% of islanders are medically

indigent and the project would

safely and effectively meet the

needs of Guam’s most at-risk

population.

The Program is led by cardiologist

Juan C. Quiros, M.D. and Medical

Director of the Guam Medicine

Referral Program, who has been

traveling to Guam four times a year

himself for nearly two decades

to see patients and work with

on-island health care providers.

Dr. Quiros said during the public

launch: “The telemedicine program

A native of India, his father encouraged him to go to

medical school. Soon after, he trained in a government

hospital where 30,000 babies were born each year. The

hospital lacked the proper medical equipment resulting

in a very high infant mortality rate each year. He recalls,

“Mothers and their babies had to lie on mats on the

fl oor. I really wanted to make a difference.” So Dr. Ram

made the decision to travel to the United States to

study neonatal medicine.

r. Rangasamy Ramanathan (also warmly

known as Dr. Ram), Chief of Neonatology at

Good Samaritan Hospital, knows very well

the true meaning of “generosity of spirit”

and in giving back.

J4783_Magazine Front.indd 9 10/7/16 10:26 AMJ4783_Magazine P.indd 9J4783_Magazine P.indd 9 10/7/16 10:29 AM10/7/16 10:29 AM

In addition to his role as a neonatologist

at Good Samaritan, he is also a Professor

of Pediatrics at the Keck School of

Medicine of USC and, is internationally

renowned in his fi eld. In 1989, he joined

Good Samaritan Hospital and, has hospital

privileges at a half dozen other hospitals

in Southern California. He is the Division

Chief of Neonatology at LAC+USC Medical

Center and directs one of the largest

fellowship programs in neonatology. He

teaches young pediatricians to become the

best neonatologists.

OUR PARTNERS IN HEALTH Dr. Rangasamy Ramanathan

Inspired by his father’s generosity of spirit,

Dr. Ram never fails to give back to the

community. “When I was growing up in

India we had the caste system. We had

untouchables, poor people who would work

on the farm and could not come into the

house. My dad would invite them in and

feed them. He gave me a sense that you

should help.”

Since becoming part of the Good Samaritan

family, Dr. Ram has so generously

supported Good Sam through both

Partners In Health and the Mother and

Baby Care Campaign.

Partners In Health (PIH) is Good Samaritan

Hospital’s physician donor group. Since

its inception, over 150 physicians have

contributed nearly $3.5M to Good Sam

by supporting the hospital’s programs,

services and highly specialized departments

with annual gifts of $1,000 or more. Due to

the commitment of our Partners In Health,

we are able to make a difference in the

lives of our patients and their families at

Good Sam.

Dr. Ram recognizes the importance of

philanthropy and how it positively impacts

our entire Good Samaritan family. “My

wife Prema is very supportive. I am very

comfortable. I have a house, family, two

daughters and two beautiful grandchildren.

God has blessed me. I am here to save and

help babies. I wouldn’t trade this job for

anything.”

We are so thankful to all of our doctors

who are members of PIH for their continued

dedication to Good Sam! If you would

Susan attended Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, and then returned

to her native Los Angeles. She met her future husband, Jack Blumenthal, on

a blind coffee date in 1963. “It wasn’t a coffee date like today,” she explains,

“he came to the house and picked me up.” She laughs, remembering her fi rst

telephone call from him and telling her mother after hanging up, “He sounds

really nice.” This past September they celebrated 53 years together.

It doesn’t take long after meeting the Blumenthals to realize that they are

both innovative thinkers and true humanitarians. “Her passion has always

been healthcare and mine has always been education,” Jack explains.

usan Blumenthal gets things done.

Whether serving as the Development

Susan continues to choose Good Sam and its physicians

for her own personal care. She is especially fond of her

cardiologist, Dr. David S. Cannom, who has been caring

for her for more than 30 years. Dr. Cannom is the Director

of Cardiology at Good Sam, a world-class cardiologist and

a leader in the treatment of atrial fibrillation or A-Fib.

Jack Blumenthal, like his wife, is a native

Angeleno, and a Bruin through-and-through

receiving his BA, MA and Ph.D. degrees from

UCLA. He was an engineer with aerospace

pioneer and industry giant, TRW for 36 years.

After retiring in 1998, Jack’s deep interest in

education then drew him to teaching. “I thought

I would enjoy teaching high school for a couple

of years.” That was 18 years ago, and he is

still teaching at an all-girls Catholic high school.

“Turned out to be a second career and a good

one…A lot of girls have been brain-washed to

think that they couldn’t do math, which isn’t true

at all. I think they are just as capable in the math

and sciences.” Jack and Susan seem to inspire

each other to constantly look for ways to make a

difference in their community.

Susan’s interest in healthcare coupled with

her determination to make a difference in the

community inspired her to join Good Sam’s

Auxiliary in the late 1970s. In 1984, she was

appointed Auxiliary President. An astute

fundraiser, Susan worked with the other

members of the Auxiliary on the Golden Thimble

project, an annual needlework show raising

hundreds of thousands of dollars to support the

Hospital and its programs. Her passion for Good

Sam and its patients caught the eye of Hospital

leadership, and in 1997, Susan was asked to

join the Board of Trustees. As the Development

Chair of the Board of Trustees, she has been

instrumental in enabling Good Sam to secure

new donations from foundations and motivating

others to support the Hospital.

It was while volunteering with the Auxiliary that

Susan learned about the Hospital’s extraordinary

team of physicians – the source of her more

than 40 years of philanthropic pride and passion

for Good Sam. “I think the doctors on staff in

this Hospital are outstanding. You feel like it is

a family.” She is also moved by the community

Good Sam serves. “From people who live in

Hancock Park to people who live on the street –

they all receive the same outstanding care.”

For these reasons, Susan continues to choose

Good Sam and its physicians for her own personal

care. She is especially fond of her cardiologist,

Dr. David S. Cannom, who has been caring for

her for more than 30 years. Dr. Cannom is the

Director of Cardiology at Good Sam, a world-class

cardiologist and a leader in the treatment of atrial

fi brillation or A-Fib.

It has been almost 40 years since Susan Blumenthal

became a friend of Good Samaritan Hospital. She is

an advocate, visionary and driving force helping to

ensure that the Hospital delivers the highest quality

care to every patient, every time.

LEGACY ernis G. Adams began her career at St. Francis Hospital

in Los Angeles and became chief technologist of the clinical

medical laboratory department. She then joined Clinical

Laboratory Medical Group (CLMG) which provided laboratory

services for hospitals in Los Angeles including Good Sam, and

trained new medical lab technologists (med techs). She became

the Education Coordinator with CLMG and was responsible for the

educational curriculum for lab tech students and the internship program.

Vernis met hundreds of students through the CLMG program, and one of

them was a student by the name of Eileen A. Johnson.

Eileen trained at St. Francis and was hired on as a med tech. Like Vernis,

Eileen loved baseball, dogs and was brilliant in laboratory medicine.

They quickly became very good friends. Eileen spent the last 30 years

of her career at Good Samaritan working in the lab and training med tech

students. She retired shortly before her death at the age of 68 in 2013.

The following year, Vernis passed away at the age of 94.

IMPACT. LEGACY. VISION.

The Heart and Vascular Center at Good Samaritan Hospital has a

longstanding commitment to advancing the science of medicine and

providing outstanding cardiac care. As one of the fi rst hospitals in

America to make groundbreaking therapies available to large numbers

of patients, we have been expanding the boundaries of cardiac care for

decades.

To stay on the cutting edge, our cardiologists need world-class

equipment and facilities to transform heart care and make patient

outcomes that once seemed impossible—routine. Now in the home

stretch, the Campaign for Cardiology is a bold and essential step

forward to substantially increase the capacity and effi ciency of Good

Samaritan Hospital’s already outstanding Heart and Vascular Center for

years to come.

With your help, the Heart and Vascular Center will be home to the best

equipped catheterization and electrophysiology labs in the Los Angeles

area enabling our premier team of cardiologists to deliver unparalleled

levels of care to cardiac patients.

Together we can make the impossible possible for our patients. What will you make possible?
