MISSION STATEMENT

Good Samaritan Hospital is a progressive, tertiary, nonprofit hospital. Our Mission is to provide accessible, quality, cost-effective and compassionate healthcare services that meet the needs of our patients and their families, the community

and physicians.

Good Samaritan Hospital’s centers of excellence focus on advancing the science of medicine and providing outstanding healthcare.

We will manage our resources responsibly, maintaining the financial viability

necessary for success.

This has been an extraordinary year for Good Samaritan Hospital and we are grateful for

the faith our foundation partners, corporate supporters and individual donors have placed

in this hospital. We are honored to have received very generous contributions from the

Lee and Herman Ostrow Family Foundation for our Campaign for Cardiology and from

the general contracting firm of Millie and Severson to support our 10th Golf Classic.

Our Campaign for Cardiology has set a goal of raising $7 million for the completion

of two electrophysiology labs (EP). The EP labs provide our cardiologists with the

most advanced technology to treat the electrical anomalies of the heart and they are

part of a larger project that includes our heart catheterization labs (cath lab)

and hybrid rooms.

We are also pleased to recognize Dr. Smeeta Sardesai’s outstanding leadership and

extraordinary contribution to patient care. As the Medical Director of our Neonatal

Intensive Care Unit (NICU), she has helped to ensure that Good Samaritan Hospital’s

success rate in the care of premature babies remains 25% higher than the California

state average. Dr. Sardesai is an essential member of our Mother and Baby Care

Campaign and is dedicated to helping us raise the funding to secure the most cutting-

edge medical equipment available for our NICU.

We would also like to thank our physicians, nurses and other medical staff for providing

all of our patients with the highest quality medical care. Finally, we would like to take

this opportunity to thank all of our donors for supporting our Campaign for Cardiology,

Mother and Baby Care Campaign, and all of the projects at Good Samaritan Hospital.

Very truly yours,

Charles T. MungerChairman of the Board of Trustees

Andrew B. LeekaPresident and Chief Executive Officer

An Extraordinary Year

G O O D N E W S FALL 2014 1

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

Mr. Andrew B. Leeka, GSH President and Chief Executive Officer


s a little girl in India, Smeeta

knew most of the expectant

mothers in her little village and

when they were due to deliver

their babies. There were few

hospitals available to the

villagers and most of the

pregnant women delivered

their babies at home with a midwife.

Smeeta would always be there for the

delivery and to hold the new baby. She

was so small herself that to ensure that

she did not drop the baby, she would

always sit on the floor as she held them.

“I loved the newborn babies and would

hold them for hours.”

Today, Dr. Sardesai is Medical Director of

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at

Good Samaritan Hospital’s Davajan-Cabal

Center for Perinatal Medicine and one of

the top neonatologists in Los Angeles. She

has over twenty years of experience treating

the city’s most critically ill infants. For Dr.

Sardesai, her work as a neonatologist isn’t

just a profession – it is a calling. “To be

present for this new life – it is so humbling,”

she explained.

More than Just a Profession

Dr. Smeeta Sardesai was born to be a baby doctor.

A

4

Dr. Sardesai works especially hard to ensure

that parents of the babies in the NICU have

full knowledge and understanding of their

baby’s condition. She works with many new

parents who have struggled for years to have

a baby only to have the baby come weeks

or even months premature. These very

early babies suffer serious and potentially

life-threatening complications such as

under-developed lungs, feeding disorders,

and pulmonary hypertension. Dr. Sardesai

cared for one little boy that was born at 25

weeks and weighed just one pound. His

lungs were seriously compromised and he

had to be put on a high-frequency ventilator

for a significant period of time. His recovery

was slow and complicated, but after three

months in the NICU he was able to go

home with his parents. Today that little boy

is doing “just great.” When a very sick baby

can recover and go home healthy – “that is

what makes it all worthwhile.”

As an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at

Keck School of Medicine at the University of

Southern California, Dr. Sardesai is training

the neonatologists and pediatricians of

tomorrow. Her skill as a neonatologist and a

professor is reflected in the glowing reviews

by her interns. “Dr. Sardesai is an excellent

attending. Her style of teaching is excellent

for the field of medicine...I hope one day to

be able to teach residents and students the

way she does.”

Dr. Sardesai’s medical expertise extends

far beyond the Los Angeles area through

her volunteer work with the Global Medical

Brigade and the Children’s Medical Care

Foundation, as well as her decades of

research in neonatal medicine. The Global

Medical Brigade provides medical care

to communities that have limited access

to essential health care. Dr. Sardesai has

traveled with her students from the Keck

School of Medicine to Mexico, Honduras,

and Haiti to provide desperately needed

medical care to children and infants

suffering from serious medical conditions.

And as a leading researcher in the

prevention of acute and chronic lung injury,

pulmonary hypertension, and feeding and

nutrition problems in premature infants, her

research informs pediatricians all over the

country. Dr. Sardesai and her colleagues’

research on the effects of dexamethasone

(steroids) on chronic lung disease in very

low birth weight babies informed the entire

medical community about the significant

improvement in respiratory outcomes when

these therapies are applied.

As a key member of Good Samaritan Hospital’s Mother and Baby Care Campaign, Dr. Sardesai works to secure the most cutting-edge medical equipment available.


For the Sardesai family, medicine is a family

affair. Her one son is a doctor, another

son is a biomedical engineer who makes

medical devices, and her daughter is in

medical school. And the glue that holds it all

together is her husband, Raj Sardesai. His

constant support has given Dr. Sardesai the

ability to have it all – a beautiful family and

an exemplary medical career.

Over the last 25 years, Good Samaritan

Hospital has delivered more than 100,000

babies. We have a success rate in the care

of premature babies that is 25% higher

than the California state average and as

the Medical Director of Neonatal Intensive

Care Unit, Dr. Sardesai is a huge part of

that success. She oversees the day-to-

day functioning of the NICU to ensure

that critically ill babies get the highest

quality care. Each additional day that we

can extend the life of a critically ill infant

increases the odds that the baby will survive

and thrive. “When it comes to premature

babies, every day counts; it’s not a count

down, it’s a count up,” she explains.

As a key member of Good Samaritan

Hospital’s Mother and Baby Care Campaign,

Dr. Sardesai works to secure the most

cutting-edge medical equipment available.

Our Mother and Baby Care Campaign is

working very hard to raise $3.3 million to

purchase new state-of-the-art maternal EKG

monitors, fetal monitors, NICU monitors,

and other equipment for the Davajan-Cabal

Center for Perinatal Medicine. In 2013,

we delivered 4,000 babies and about

400 of those babies were admitted to the

NICU. This new equipment will allow Good

Samaritan Hospital’s outstanding medical

team to continue to lead the way in the care

of premature and critically ill infants.

In 2013, we delivered 4,000 babies and

The Staff at Good Samaritan Hospital oversee the day-to-day functioning of the NICU to ensure that critically ill babies get the highest quality care.

Try something new! For most of us, change

is hard; it takes preparation, commitment

and support. Because of your generous

philanthropic support, Good Samaritan

Hospital’s Community Health Education

department facilitates people’s ability to

make healthy lifestyle changes. Through

interactive teaching methods, our Health

Education Specialists, Registered Dietitians,

and Registered Nurses help participants

gain new knowledge and skills that improve

their health.

Maternal and Child HealthOur perinatal classes in English, Spanish

and Korean provide new moms with the

skills to have a healthy pregnancy and learn

how to feed and care for their babies. Health

Education classes such as Breastfeeding

and Infant Nutrition, Baby Care, Diabetes

During Pregnancy, and Healthy Habits

for New Moms have provided important

perinatal education for over 760 parents.

When asked about the first weeks at home

with their new infant, one dad commented,

“The baby behaved just like you said. We

took turns keeping our son skin to skin,

slept when he slept and fed him as soon

as we saw the hunger signs…Yeah, it was

challenging, but worth it.”

Making a Positive Impact on Our Community’s Health

Community Health Educators Prisca Ho, RD, RN (left) and Coralyn AndresTaylor, RD, MPH, CHES (right), teach a course in Living with Diabetes that focuses on prevention of diabetes and information about healthy food choices, proper portions, and the importance of exercise.

Health Education and Philanthropy:

6

Philanthropy is a Powerful Partner in the Prevention and Management of Chronic DiseaseCardiovascular disease is the number

one cause of death in Los Angeles. This

year, through grants, and donations from

individuals and corporations, GSH has

made a positive impact on 260 people

who participated in Heart H.E.L.P. (Healthy

Eating and Lifestyle Programs). Community

members learned to reduce risk factors such

as high blood pressure, high cholesterol,

smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and

poor eating habits. They also learned to

recognize the signs and symptoms of a

heart attack or stroke and take life

saving action.

For example, six months after attending

classes, a participant’s father had a

sudden, severe headache. Fortunately, the

participant recognized this as a potential

stroke and called 911. Her father received

timely medical attention and made a

full recovery.

Living With Diabetes Diabetes education classes focus on

diabetes management and the prevention

of complications with the M’s-- Meals,

Movement (exercise) Monitoring, Medicine,

Medical support and Mental health. There

is another “M” that makes all the others

possible: Money. Once again, because of

your generous support, more than 730

community members have gained new

knowledge and skill to prevent or manage

diabetes.

One participant commented, “This stuff

really works! These pants used to be so

tight; now I need a belt to hold them up!”

Another grateful participant said, “My doctor

kept pestering… encouraging me to take

these classes. And I’m so glad he did.”

Because of your generous

philanthropic support,


Community Health

Education department

facilitates people’s ability

to make healthy lifestyle

changes.


Whether it is a lactating mom, a stroke survivor, or a person who

makes changes to manage diabetes, we can all support their effort

and share in their success. Your investment in the Community

Health Education programs at Good Samaritan Hospital makes

these, and future, successes possible.

To learn more about the Community Health Education programs and

the positive impact that your partnership is having, please email

[email protected] or call 213-977-2150. We look forward to

talking with you.

Millie and Severson

his issue of Good News is pleased to honor the firm of Millie

and Severson for its commitment to giving back. Millie and

Severson is not only the contractor entrusted with the

construction of the new Good Samaritan Medical Pavilion –

dedication is set for Fall, 2015 – but it also lives out its

commitment to being a good corporate citizen by being a

donor to the hospital.

“We are committed to providing each of our partners with assistance

in their philanthropic endeavors. We believe in giving back to the

organizations we serve in some capacity as befits the organization

and its needs, and we welcome and are honored to be part of such

opportunities,” says John Grossman, Senior Vice President.

A Corporate Good CitizenIn his book, Poor Charlie’s Almanack, Charles

T. Munger, the Chairman of Good Samaritan

Hospital’s Board of Trustees, writes, “I feel

that those of us who have been very fortunate

have a duty to give back.”

John Grossman, Senior Vice President of Millie and Severson inside the construction of the new Good Samaritan Medical Pavilion – dedication is set for Fall, 2015


“ Millie and Severson is not only

the contractor entrusted with

the construction of the new

Good Samaritan Medical Pavilion –

dedication is set for Fall, 2015 –

but it also lives out its commitment

to being a good corporate citizen by

being a donor to the hospital.

Good Samaritan Hospital’s new Medical Pavilion — being built by Millie and Severson — is currently rising along Wilshire Boulevard just west of the hospital’s main entrance.

6 10

Millie and Severson backs

up those words with

action. The company

has been a donor to

Good Samaritan each

year since 2012, and in

2014 the firm became a

major sponsor of the Good

Samaritan Golf Classic.

With appropriate pride,

Grossman describes a

culture of philanthropy at

his company. “Not only

do we make gifts as a

corporation, but many of

our owner-employees act

individually with their own

time, effort or financial

contributions to support

their personal charities of

choice.”

Founded in 1945, Millie

and Severson takes

pride in being a local

company – corporate

headquarters are in Los

Alamitos – that builds

local projects. “We build

local projects – medical

office buildings, hospitals,

schools and universities,

churches, parks and more

– that enhance Southern

California, where our

owner-employees not

only work but live,” says

Grossman.


new Medical Pavilion –

being built by Millie and

Severson – is currently

rising along Wilshire

Boulevard just west of the

hospital’s main entrance.

The state-of-the-art

facility will be home to

an Ambulatory Surgery

Center, radiation oncology

and physician offices. It

will also feature a new and

highly-anticipated café.


When asked to comment

on what stands out about

the new Medical Pavilion,

Grossman made an

interesting observation.

“It is not one thing. The

building itself will be

wonderful, but what

really stands out is the

process – a collection

of incredible people (He

holds Mr. Munger in the

highest esteem!), with

great intellectual capital,

working collaboratively

to accomplish something

that will be of great

value to Good Samaritan

Hospital and the many

communities it serves.”

r. Ostrow had been treated

for atrial fibrilation – the

symptoms are irregular

heartbeat, light-headedness,

palpitations, chest pain and

decreased activity – with only

marginal success at another

prominent Los Angeles hospital for many

years. Well over 70-years-of-age, his

physicians finally told him that there was

nothing more they could do for him.

“That is when he heard about Dr.

Cannom,” explains Herman’s daughter,

Jeanette Matye. Dr. David S. Cannom,

Director of the Heart & Vascular Center,

successfully ablated her father. “The

results were immediate and amazing,”

she says. “For the last eleven years of

his life – he died at age 88 – he had no

symptoms of atrial fibrillation at all.”

In gratitude for the excellent and life-

changing care he received from Good

Samaritan Cardiologists, and with the

encouragement of his fiancée, Mrs. Gloria

Billingsley, Dr. Ostrow made a pledge of

$1,000,000 from The Lee and Herman

Ostrow Family Foundation. When he

died prior to the fulfillment of the pledge,

Jeanette, the President of the Foundation,

made sure that the gift was completed in

its entirety.

The Lee and Herman Ostrow Family Foundation

Philanthropy from the HeartHerman Ostrow, D.D.S., was a grateful and very

generous man. That combination of attributes

resulted in a principal gift to the Heart & Vascular

Center of Good Samaritan Hospital. The hospital

is deeply grateful.

D


Daughter and grandson, Jeanette and Adam Matye stand proudly by a portrait of Dr. Herman Ostrow.

The generosity he displayed as a

grateful patient was nothing new for

Herman Ostrow. In a 2009 visit to the

Griffith Observatory he observed the

donor wall and was prompted to give

consideration as to how large private

gifts could decisively impact worthwhile

organizations. Just a year later, in January

2010, he gave a donation that prompted

USC to name its dental school in his

honor: The Herman Ostrow School

of Dentistry.

On the occasion of the ceremony marking

that gift, Dr. Ostrow said, “This is the best

thing I have ever done; and it is the right

thing to do!”

A lifelong resident of Southern California,

Herman was born in East Los Angeles. He

graduated from the University of Southern

California School of Dentistry in 1945

and served as a dentist in the U.S. Army

during the Korean War.

Though he continued the practice of

dentistry for 17 years, Dr. Ostrow found

that his greatest interest was in the real

estate and construction business. In

addition, he developed an abiding

interest in collecting and cultivating

rare fruit trees.

Today, The Lee and Herman Ostrow

Family Foundation continues the

philanthropic work of its founder,

especially supporting causes within the

Jewish community. Good Samaritan

Hospital is thankful for our relationship

with this remarkable man – along with

his daughter and grandson, Jeanette and

Adam Matye – and is pleased to honor

him in this edition of Good News.

Dr. David S. Cannom, Director of the

Heart & Vascular Center, successfully

ablated her father. “The results were

immediate and amazing,” she says. “For

the last eleven years of his life – he died

at age 88 – he had no symptoms of atrial

fibrillation at all.”

Dr. David Cannom and the state-of-the-art equipment of two new electrophysiology laboratories (EP labs) helped by the new Campaign for Cardiology – beginning in 2014 – will raise $7 million for the construction.

“Even the smallest act of

caring for another person is like

a drop of water -it will make ripples

throughout the entire pond...”

—Jessy and Bryan Matteo

A planned gift is an easy way to

accomplish that and make a difference

in the lives of many. It is the mission

of Good Samaritan Hospital to

provide accessible, cost-effective and

compassionate healthcare services of

the highest quality. Planned gifts made

today stress the importance of fulfilling

the mission and financial needs of the

future, while also offering tax benefits

for you. We very much appreciate and

depend upon outright contributions

for immediate use, but by joining The

Legacy Society at Good Samaritan

Hospital you will ensure quality

healthcare that will have an impact for

many generations to come. We honor

those special friends who have joined

us in planning for the future through

inclusion in their estate plans.

There are many ways you can join

The Legacy Society. Make a provision

in your estate plans by considering

assigning an insurance policy or by

funding a charitable gift annuity.

Many of our donors like the immediate

income tax deduction and the security

of knowing they will always have a

reliable source of income. A bequest

is a simple and effective method to

leave a legacy after your lifetime. You

could give Good Samaritan Hospital a

specific asset, dollar amount, or you

could leave us a percentage of the

remainder of your estate, after providing

for your family members. Naming Good

Samaritan Hospital as the beneficiary of

your retirement plans can result in

tremendous income to Good Samaritan

Hospital and estate tax savings for

your estate.

Good Samaritan Hospital is here for

you - providing the highest quality of

emergency room services, heart and

vascular care, and perinatal and neonatal

intensive care in the Los Angeles area.

We are honored to accept planned gifts

that offer general support or provide for a

specific area that is close to your heart.

Please contact Andrea Morseburg if you

have any questions regarding a planned

gift and she will be glad to provide more

information about your options.
