As we reflect on an extraordinary year for Adventist Health Glendale, we are filled with deep gratitude for the compassion, generosity, and partnership that continue to define our community. This year marked a truly historic milestone—our 120th Anniversary—a celebration of healing, hope, and unwavering commitment to exceptional care. Our commemorative 120th Anniversary Gala brought this legacy to life in remarkable ways, honoring the past, while inspiring the future. In the pages ahead, you will find stories and moments that highlight the heart of our mission. We pay tribute to our recently named Emeritus Board Member and lovingly honor the memory of Dr. Marguerite Marsh, whose wisdom, leadership, and friendship will forever remain part of our Foundation’s story. You will also meet the many partners who make our work possible—from our dedicated Corporate Sponsors to the Rotary Club of Mental Health & Wellness, whose special service project transformed the waiting area of our Behavioral Health Center into a brighter, more welcoming space. This year also brought important transitions in Foundation and hospital leadership. We are pleased to introduce Sari Nabulsi,MD, our new Chief Medical Officer, and Anita Chou, our new Chief Financial Officer—exceptional leaders who bring vision and expertise to our continued growth. We are equally grateful for the strength and dedication of our Foundation Board as we navigate this new chapter together. Throughout this magazine, you will read patient stories of healing, resilience, and gratitude, reminders of why your support matters so deeply. You will also see the faces and moments from a year filled with celebration, connection, and shared purpose. Thank you for standing with us, believing in our mission, and helping ensure that Adventist Health Glendale remains a place of exceptional care for generations to come. Our past 120 years have been remarkable, and with your partnership, our future will be extraordinary.
