Two Loma Linda University Health Physicians Honored Through Special Gift

On Aug. 27, a gift from an anonymous donor toward Vision 2020: The Campaign for a Whole Tomorrow resulted in special recognition for three Loma Linda University Health physicians, two of whom were recognized Tuesday Aug. 25, during an unveiling ceremony on campus. The donor wished not to be recognized, but rather draw attention to the professionals who exemplify the qualities the donor values: Leonard Bailey, MD; H. Roger Hadley, MD; and Murray Brandstater, MD, who will be honored at a later date. Hadley, who is board certified in urology and general surgery, earned his MD from LLU School of Medicine in 1975. He served as chair of the department of urology from 1990 until stepping into his current role as dean of the School of Medicine in 2003. The urology practice suite in the Loma Linda University Faculty Medical offices has been renamed in Hadley’s honor to the Hadley Urology Practice Suite. Hadley mentioned this recognition was meaningful, because four generations of his family have been a part of the urology practice. The new signage was placed inside and outside suite 1100. “I certainly enjoy being dean, but I’m always a doctor first,” Hadley said. “This gift was given because of the care we give, and that’s what we are first –providers. What we do for patients is making an impact.” Bailey also graduated from LLU School of Medicine in 1969 and has been an attending cardiothoracic surgeon at Loma Linda University Medical Center since 1976. He pioneered infant heart transplantation in 1984 after he successfully transplanted the heart of Baby Fae with that of a baboon when she was just 12 days old. The pediatric cardiac intensive care unit, or unit 5800, at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital has been renamed in Bailey’s honor to the Leonard L. Bailey Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. “The naming process needs to be inclusive of all the people in my life over the years,” Bailey said, acknowledging his family, colleagues and nursing staff in attendance. “I think it should be inclusive of the values we share here—integrity, wholeness, compassion, excellence and especially teamwork. I’m thrilled to be part of the Loma Linda family. This is a remarkable honor." Both Hadley and Bailey were presented with commemorative plaques from Loma Linda University Health president, Richard Hart, MD, DrPH, during the ceremony. “We come together to recognize what we really do and what it all means,” Hart said. “To be able to come together and see the impact Dr. Bailey and Dr. Hadley have had on this institution and around the world is very significant.” The anonymous gift will go toward the $360 million capital campaign, Vision 2020, which is part of the construction of the new adult hospital and expanded Children’s Hospital. Beyond the Vision 2020 philanthropic campaign, additional funding for healthcare will come from state grants, bond financing, and cash flow from operations. Vision 2020 will also strengthen the future of education and research at Loma Linda University Health. “We greatly appreciate the very generous gifts that will contribute to the success of Vision 2020 and the mission of Loma Linda University Health,” said Carolyn Hamilton, Vice President for Philanthropy. “The funds make it possible for us to support the wonderful professionals like Drs. Bailey and Hadley who have the heart and skills we value, who in turn touch more lives.” Brandstater was not able to attend Tuesday’s event and will be honored at a later time.

An October City announcement draws attention to an everyday household practice with benefits for food budgets, kitchen safety and the environment. A basket of fresh produce can represent a week's worth of meals, the results of a successful backyard harvest or an unexpected bargain at the grocery store. Yet without proper storage, even the freshest fruits and vegetables can spoil before a family has an opportunity to use them.

The rumble of a commercial truck passing through a city can represent two very different things. For a business awaiting a delivery, it may signal the arrival of essential supplies. For residents living near a busy roadway, it may raise concerns about traffic, noise and safety. In Grand Terrace, finding a reasonable balance between those interests is at the center of an ongoing transportation planning effort.
