It was an inspiring evening at the Valley Hunt Club, where our Adventist Health Glendale community came together to celebrate 120 years of health and healing, and raised over $250,000 to advance our Surgical Services Expansion. Attended by physicians, donors, and community leaders, the focus in the room was both celebratory and earnest as we honored our past and invested in the innovative future of Adventist Health Glendale. Robert De Pietro and his sister-in-law, Susan De Pietro, were each honored for their nearly 50 years of service to Adventist Health Glendale—Susan for her unwavering dedication to the Ethics Committee, and Robert for his outstanding service as a Foundation Board Member
