Message From The Foundation

Welcome to the Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital Foundation’s annual report—a highlight of our accomplishments and an expression of gratitude for your unwavering support. For three decades, Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital has been dedicated to healing the whole child, with patient safety, quality, and innovation at the forefront.

Our Children’s Hospital tower, located at the Dennis and Carol Troesh Medical Campus, exemplifies our commitment to these principles, offering private patient rooms, state-of-the-art CATH labs, a specialized pediatric emergency department, and the remarkable San Manuel Maternity Pavilion. Guided by our enduring motto, “To make man whole,” we persistently strive to elevate the standard of medical care for children, mothers, and families in our region.

Last year, we achieved another milestone by earning our fifth recognition from The Leapfrog Group as a Top Children’s Hospital. This prestigious honor acknowledges our commitment to safety and exceptional care. We are proud to be one of only twelve children’s hospitals nationwide with this designation. Additionally, U.S. News & World Report named us a “Best Children’s Hospital” in Cardiology & Heart Surgery, Neonatology, and Nephrology, while Newsweek recognized us as a “Best Maternity Hospital.”

These achievements are made possible by our community and the exceptional dedication of our frontline healthcare professionals. We deeply appreciate your generosity and support in being a part of every child’s unique journey at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital.

Within our hospital, profound moments unfold, and we are privileged to stand ready for them. Our medical professionals demonstrate unparalleled skill, expertise and compassion. From routine check-ups to critical diagnoses, you are an essential part of our care team. Your commitment inspires us to reach higher, imagine greater, and relentlessly pursue hope and healing for all children.

May we never stop growing as we work together to create a happier and healthier tomorrow.

OUTSTANDING CARE, OUTSTANDING RECOGNITION

Since the Children’s Hospital’s founding more than 30 years ago, Loma Linda University Children’s Health physicians, nurses, staff, and volunteers have made it their calling to care for our region’s youngest, most vulnerable patients. And the opening of the Dennis and Carol Troesh Medical Campus innovative Children’s Hospital tower, in August 2021, makes the dream of expanded access to quality healthcare for children a daily reality.

Treating pediatric health issues is one of the great success stories in the history of Loma Linda University Health. Our more than 225 pediatric physicians representing nearly 30 specialties regularly collaborate to bring healing to those children battling injury and disease. Recognizing that excellent care, The Leapfrog Group, a national watchdog organization recognized as the toughest standard-setters for healthcare safety and quality, named the Children’s Hospital a “Top Children’s Hospital” in 2022 for the fifth time in six years.

Children from throughout the region are transported to the Children’s Hospital for specialized services. When they arrive, those patients benefit from the dedicated pediatric Emergency Department, offering 24/7 care with 26 bays and quick access to CT scan services and operating rooms. Children’s emergency teams regularly care for the most severe injuries as the only pediatric-dedicated Level I Trauma Center in the region.

More than 17,000 children were admitted and treated at the Children’s Hospital in 2022. During their stay,

the new Children’s Tower provided 84 fully private inpatient rooms, where families could be present and play a key role in their child’s recovery.

Families can welcome their precious babies into the world at the San Manuel Maternity Pavilion, a beautiful space that offers 44 licensed OB beds, 11 labor and delivery rooms, three C-section rooms, and nine triage rooms. More than 3,200 babies were delivered in the San Manuel Pavilion in 2022, and the Children’s Hospital remains the Inland Empire’s hospital of choice for high-risk births.

U.S. News & World Report’s 2021-22 “Best Hospitals for Maternity Care” list recognized the work of the maternity team, highlighting low rates of newborn complications, early deliveries and C-section rates. Additionally, 2022 marked the seventh consecutive year that California’s Health and Human Services and Cal Hospital Compares listed Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital on its “Maternity Honor Roll” to recognize the team’s work to achieve statewide targets for reduced births via C-section in first-time mothers and low-risk pregnancies. Newsweek also ranked Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital as one of America’s Best Maternity Care Hospitals for the second year in a row.

To top off its many accolades, in June 2022, U.S. News & World Report awarded top 50 national rankings to three Children’s Hospital specialties — Pediatric Cardiology & Heart Surgery, Pediatric Neonatology, and Pediatric Nephrology.

Our commitment to quality and safety in all aspects of care regularly earns regional and national recognition. The Leapfrog Group, which ranks hospitals nationwide, named our hospital a Top Children’s Hospital in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022.

A HEART TRANSPLANT FOR PAISLEY

Arnold family now celebrates “St. Paisley Day” each year after infant daughter received new heart

The Arnold family waited anxiously at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital in February 2013 for news on their four-month-old daughter, Paisley. “The doctor came out to get us and took us in one of those rooms you see on TV — we call it the ‘bad-news room,’ ” Paisley’s father, Rick Arnold says. The news: the only thing that could help Paisley was a heart transplant. She had an anomalous left coronary artery, meaning this artery in her heart had never developed. “We were devastated,” Arnold says.

Paisley Mae Arnold was born in October 2012. To her parents’ knowledge, she was a perfectly healthy little girl. “It was my wife and I’s first child,” says Arnold. “We were really excited.” But by her two-month check-up, all did not seem well. Paisley was experiencing trouble eating and acid reflux. By her four-month check-up, she was having trouble breathing. After an unsuccessful breathing treatment, Paisley was admitted to their local hospital in Apple Valley. Her condition continued to worsen — her oxygen levels were low, she became very lethargic, and her cries became

muffled. Tests and X-rays revealed that Paisley had cardiomyopathy — a disease causing difficulty with the heart delivering blood to the body. The doctor told Paisley’s parents that her heart was enlarged, and she needed immediate care at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital.

Several days after receiving the news of Paisley needing a transplant, she was successfully added to the transplant list. The wait began. While they waited, Paisley suffered a set-back, her heart stopped beating and she had to be put on ECMO, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. This machine helps patients by taking over the function of their heart and lungs. After a few days on ECMO, Paisley was identified as a potential candidate for a special ventricular assist device (VAD) that functions for the heart and would allow Paisley to come off ECMO, buying her more time as they waited for a transplant.

But even this victory was hard-fought. While in surgery to place the VAD, Paisley suffered a pulmonary hemorrhage — bleeding from her lungs.

Paisley’s clinical team on day shift leaving for the night didn’t know if they would see Paisley alive when they returned the next day. To give her lungs time to heal, the VAD was placed and used in conjunction with ECMO.

Then, an answer to many prayers, Paisley received her new heart in wee hours of St. Patrick’s Day — a day now celebrated each year by the Arnold family as St. Paisley Day. “It was amazing because the very first moment we saw Paisley after the transplant, her lips that were once pale and ashen were ruby red like she was wearing lipstick,” Arnold says. “Her body had never had that circulation it was supposed to. She just looked so beautiful.”

Paisley would leave the hospital nine days after her transplant and continues to thrive. “She’s done absolutely amazing,” Arnold says. “For ten years now, it’s like you’re almost waiting for the other shoe to drop, but we haven’t had rejection. We praise the Lord every day for her health.”

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Because of the Children’s Hospital, Paisley can follow her dreams to become a lawyer.

Ricki Rae received life-changing treatment at the Children’s Hospital, making it possible for her to pursue her dream of becoming a physician.

A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE: RICKI RAE’S STORY

Teen girl paralyzed after stroke learns to walk and function again

Despite having a lingering painful headache, 15-year old Ricki Rae Guess was determined to get her nails done for high school homecoming. The Guess family could not imagine how quickly their lives would change that day on October 1, 2021.

Only hours later, Ricki Rae’s dad, Donnie, called 9-1-1 after Ricki Rae’s headache turned into profuse vomiting — she was having a stroke.

Because of her worsening situation, paramedics knew that they had to take her to Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. “I will never forget when the paramedics said, ‘We’re losing her,’” says Ricki Rae’s mom, Shellie. Scans showed a large mass of blood around Ricki Rae’s brain – she needed a craniotomy, but there was a chance she wouldn’t survive. Because of that risk, her family said goodbye. “I remember kissing her and saying, ‘Please don’t leave me, not yet. We have not had enough time,’” Shellie says.

The surgery was successful, but it was only one of three that Ricki Rae would have to undergo while in the hospital. “Everyone thought I was just going to be a vegetable,” Ricki Rae shared. Ricki Rae’s journey

was far from simple, from taking small steps to heal, to being completely paralyzed with no movement or feeling on her left side, to battling infection. However, Rickie Rae finally returned home on Christmas Eve.

Dr. Aaron Robison, one of Ricki Rae’s neurosurgeons, and the team at the Children’s Hospital helped the Guess family find peace during such an uncertain situation. “I will forever be grateful for Dr. Robison and his team,” she says. “Without him, I really believe our daughter would not be here today.” Shellie says it takes an entire community to make the Children’s Hospital as good as it is — apart from the medical staff, many other things brought joy and healing to Ricki Rae, including someone’s donation gift of a sunshine box, receiving a gingerbread house to decorate, and the volunteer therapy dog visits.

“We know there’s something really special about Ricki Rae, because she had so many opportunities to leave us,” Shellie says. “I’m honored to be her mom and I can’t wait to see what life has in store for her.”

NASH, THE MIRACLE BABY

A race against time to save a newborn’s life

Ashley vividly remembers the heart-stopping moment when the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at a local hospital urgently summoned her and her husband, Nick.

“They called us down to the NICU and told us that we needed to hurry because Nash was not doing well,” said Ashley.

Her newborn son Nash’s vital signs plummeted, his tiny body struggling for breath.

“We got there, and he was as blue as could be. Doctors tried putting him on a ventilator, but that made him worse. And then they said the only possibility of keeping him alive would be transporting him to Loma Linda.”

Nash was rushed to nearby Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital NICU, where he was placed under the care of Douglas Deming, MD. The two-day-old baby was experiencing hypoxemic respiratory failure, and his lungs could not adequately oxygenate his bloodstream, according to Deming.

After attempting various approaches, the medical team initiated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a life-supporting technique. Nash remained on ECMO for five days.

“When you have infants or children who are extremely ill like Nash, the ability to a get them to an appropriate healthcare facility that can support them and treat them, as well as be able to help the parents be with their child while they’re so sick, is unbelievably important,” Deming said.

With a service area spanning distances up to 350 miles away, the hospital ensures that patients like Nash can access the necessary specialized treatment. As a Level 4 NICU, it is highly specialized and designed to provide the most advanced and intensive care for newborns facing complex, rare, and critical health challenges. The multidisciplinary team collaborates with social workers, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech therapists to support the overall well-being and development of the baby and the family.

Despite the immense challenges faced by Nash and his family when he was born, the now healthy four-year-old has defied expectations. While he initially required medication for pulmonary hypertension and continued to receive care from a pulmonologist, Nash has overcome remarkable hurdles.

“When we first took him back for a follow-up visit when he was one year old, Dr. Deming was surprised that an ECMO baby was able to walk at his age.”

Nash’s remarkable progress continues to inspire others in their journeys of healing and resilience.

“We always joke around because he is wild, and I feel like he just experiences life just so freely. He loves to play and run. People look at him, and they’re like, ‘No, this kid wasn’t sick.’”

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

Through the care of the Children’s Hospital, Nash has the opportunity to follow his dream of becoming an astronaut.

THREE-YEAR-OLD FIGHTS AGAINST RARE LEUKEMIA, CONTINUES FINDING JOY

Zoey Jones was only two years old when she was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), a blood and bone cancer.

“I never expected to hear that my two-year-old daughter had cancer,” Zoey’s mom, Brittany shares. “Zoey had been complaining of pain for several weeks, I took her to her primary care doctor and the emergency room where we live. I was told she was likely constipated, and it would go away.” Zoey’s pain did not go away, but rather continued to worsen. Brittany took Zoey to see her primary doctor again, and they performed blood tests. A few hours later, they received a call from her doctor saying that Zoey should be taken to Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital immediately.

After a series of tests, Zoey was diagnosed on December 3, 2021, with AML. “That just tore me apart,” Brittany says, “You never think something like this is going to happen to your child.” Zoey was given her diagnosis on a Friday, and by the following Monday, Zoey had started chemotherapy treatments.

While leukemia is the most common type of childhood cancer, AML is the rarest type of leukemia. In addition to having the rarest type of

leukemia, Zoey also was diagnosed with high-risk genetic mutation. A patient with AML categorized as high risk means a patient undergoing only standard chemotherapy treatments has an extremely low chance of getting their cancer into and keeping it in remission. Because Zoey was high risk, her best chance of fighting and surviving her cancer was chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant.

The search for a bone marrow donor match for Zoey’s transplant found no matched sibling donor, unrelated matched donor, or unrelated cord blood from the Center for International and Marrow Transplant Research. Finally, they turned to family members. Zoey’s mom was only half a match and not a perfect match, but she was Zoey’s best chance. Her first transplant took place on April 19, 2022.

Although things seemed to have been successful initially, Zoey contracted a potentially life-threatening virus. The first transplant failed due to the infection. Zoey became extremely sick. Ninety-one days after the first transplant, Zoey received her second transplant with stem cells

again from her mother. “This wasn’t very common,” Brittany says. “Doctors don’t like to do transplants back-to-back, but they waited as long as possible. If they kept waiting, her condition could have gotten worse, and she may not have been able to survive the second transplant. “

The second transplant was successful. Zoey spent 124 days in the Children’s Hospital between the first and second transplants before returning home on August 12, 2022. While there were many difficult and lonely moments, Brittany says that they never missed an opportunity to celebrate. Brittany would redecorate Zoey’s hospital room to fit a seasonal and festive theme each month. On July 29, Children’s Hospital Child Life team and nurses helped to decorate Zoey’s room for her third birthday.

“After an incredibly difficult journey, my daughter is home now, and her future looks bright. I can’t express how grateful we are for the care she received at Children’s Hospital” Brittany shares, “We truly formed a family there and felt the love they showed through their support.”

SPIRIT OF CHILDREN BRINGS

JOY AND SUPPORT TO LOMA LINDA UNIVERSITY CHILDREN’S

HOSPITAL

Spirit of Children is dedicated to changing the way children and families perceive hospitals. Through its annual fall festivities and year-round support, Spirit of Children has not only brought joy to young patients but also raised funds for Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital Child Life department.

Since its inception in 2007, Spirit of Children has raised $110 million nationwide, with nearly $1 million benefiting Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital over the past two decades. These funds have been utilized to support various programs, including art, music, and aquatic and pet therapy. The organization has also supplied the hospital with sensory and educational items, as well as toys that help distract children during medical procedures.

A highlight every year is the Fall Festival. Patients are gifted costumes, accessories, and bags filled with craft items, adding a touch of excitement and fun to their hospital experience. “Spirit of Children spreads joy to our patients each year — bringing some normalcy to their time in the hospital by helping them to feel special, as they dress up in their new costume and enjoy the Fall Festival that was created for them. Even for those who don’t have the energy to dress up — just having the chance to look forward to the opportunity to dress up when they feel better brings courage and hope,” says Dorothy Brooks, bereavement and community education specialist.

Through its dedication and generosity, Spirit of Children has not only brought smiles to the faces of young patients but has also contributed to the healing environment and expanded the reach of Child Life Services. Its unwavering commitment to making hospitals less scary for children and families has undoubtedly made a lasting difference in the lives of countless individuals.
