LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Few community hospitals can boast of the ability to foster both clinical care and research— but it’s something we know is a winning combination.”

As we observe the coming 75th anniversary of Providence Saint John’s Health Center, I’m struck by the fact that we are constantly evolving in order to provide top-quality medical care. Our highlyregarded staff of physicians is known throughout Southern California, and we continue to attract talented doctors to the Health Center and leading cancer researchers to the John Wayne Cancer Institute. Our recent impressive U.S. News & World Report ranking is testimony to our efforts to remain among the region’s best hospitals.

Over the years, we have worked hard to maintain our reputation for outstanding and compassionate medical care, while growing our research arm. Our campus is vibrant and buzzing with activity, including 30 ongoing clinical trials. Few community hospitals can boast of the ability to foster both clinical care and research—but it’s something we know is a winning combination. Patients at Saint John’s can be assured that our doctors and researchers are at the forefront of advances in medicine and that we value innovation. For example, our recently expanded board of directors at the Institute allows us to further advance a strategic vision for novel and impactful cancer research.

Eventually the Institute and other medical service lines will be relocated south of Santa Monica Boulevard to a beautiful new South Campus. The second phase of our Master Plan was recently presented to the Santa Monica City Council. We’re looking forward to the many benefits these new facilities will bring to our community in the years to come. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters now and in the future, we will maintain the excellence patients and their families have come to expect from us. With utmost respect,

MARCEL LOH Chief Executive Providence Saint John’s Health Center and John Wayne Cancer Institute
