Don't miss LLUH on TV!

Loma Linda University Health’s (LLUH) first national TV show will be airing locally on KVCR beginning Wednesday, May 21. “Life on the Line” features courageous individuals and turns their journeys into a moving documentary series. “Working on this series has been an amazing experience,” said Patricia Kelikani, director of Advancement Films at LLUH. “This show isn’t just about the doctors, but how real people find meaning in the midst of a tragedy. This is where the real story lives and their strength of spirit shines.” Narrated by celebrity host and journalist, Lisa Ling, and produced by the 12-time Emmy Award winning team, Advancement Films, “Life on the Line” zeroes in on Loma Linda University Health—which serves one-quarter of Southern California—and equips medical teams to travel around the world. The show follows patients from Southern California to the Amazon, Haiti, and Egypt as they all fight a similar battle: to stay alive. The series features six unique half-hour episodes. The first episode, “Heart to Heart,” tells the story of the Escarcega family whose baby was born with a congenital heart defect and desperately needed a heart transplant to survive. Cameras hone in on Baby David’s journey and reflect on Dr. Leonard Bailey’s pioneering efforts of infant heart transplantation that took place 30 years ago with Baby Fae. “Life on the Line” will air on KVCR on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. with repeats on Sundays at 5:00 p.m. For the full schedule, episode previews and more information about the show visit www.lifeontheline.tv.
