Message from Kerry Heinrich
It’s been my privilege to watch our new Dennis and Carol Troesh Medical Campus rise to the sky for the past four and a half years. When the state of California implemented new seismic standards for hospitals, these new towers were only a dream. There were so many challenges we faced to get to this day. Most every day I took a few moments to look out over the project. At times there were hundreds of construction workers swarming over the site. Other days it seemed as though not a thing changed. But each time I was able to get away from the demands of meetings and phone calls, I took a moment to offer a prayer for this project. And God has certainly blessed this undertaking. I’ve learned much about how buildings come together during this process. From the base isolators sitting at the very foundation of this incredible building, to the helipad on the roof, this new structure showcases the very best in construction innovation. We thank our partners at McCarthy Construction for their attention to the millions of details that go into a building like this. We would simply not be at this point without their expertise.
To the many supporters of this effort, we say thank you. Those of you who supported the Vision 2020 effort have made possible what seemed impossible less than a decade ago. Loma Linda University Health shares these two incredible hospital towers with the community, and the world. It’s our prayer that when you come here, you will find a team of healthcare providers that are dedicated to continuing the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ.
Sincerely,
Kerry L. Heinrich, JD CEO, Loma Linda University Health Hospitals Executive Vice President, Hospital Affairs, Loma Linda University Health
These buildings will be dynamic places of healing for all who come through our doors. Much thought has gone into how healthcare has changed since we built the cloverleaf towers, and those changes are reflected in how this hospital has been designed.
