ADVANCING HEALINGFOR CANCER PATIENTSScripps Radiation Therapy Center Now Open

Scripps patients needing radiation cancer therapy now

receive care in a healing center with the most advanced

technology available in the world. The $44 million Scripps

Radiation Therapy Center is now providing leading-edge

cancer care in a setting where comfort takes center stage.

Combining radiation cancer treatment services from Scripps

Memorial Hospital La Jolla and Scripps Green Hospital, the

new center on the Torrey Pines Mesa opened its doors in

October 2012, creating a brighter and lighter space for

Scripps patients needing radiation cancer treatment.

The 41,000-square-foot, two-story building houses the most

advanced technology available in a comfortable and inspiring

environment that includes spacious changing rooms, a rooftop

garden, a sunny lobby, 10 exam rooms and an ambulance bay.

The highly sophisticated linear accelerators are powerful, fast

and flexible, allowing physicians to treat patients with greater

precision and in less time than other approaches. Bringing

radiation services together allows Scripps physicians

to collaborate more effectively than ever before.

One of the accelerators, the TrueBeam STx, is only the

third in use in all of Southern California and works by

choreographing three different systems — 3-D tumor imaging,

beam delivery and motion management — to deliver radiation

with unprecedented safety and accuracy, even if the patient

moves during treatment. All three of this latest generation of

accelerators deliver carefully calculated doses of high-energy

radiation along a straight line, damaging or killing cancer cells,

while minimizing the impact on surrounding tissues and organs.

The center also has a 16-slice CT simulator with 4-D imagery

that shows a tumor in three dimensions and the tumor’s

movement as a patient breathes. This information helps

physicians to more accurately treat a tumor while limiting

damage to nearby tissues or organs.

5

Using clean lines and crisp angles, the modernist building

provides a framework for the delivery of a personal and

attentive level of patient care in a spa-like atmosphere designed

to inspire hope and healing. The distinctive exterior combines

reflective glass that provides light and sun with the warmth

of cast concrete and stone. The garden takes advantage of the

natural beauty of San Diego with ocean breezes and a view to

the eastern rolling hills. Inside, the large sheets of glass allow

natural light to radiate throughout, and the warm-colored

furniture, rich fabrics and nature-inspired artwork combine

to create a comfortable, supportive environment.

Leading the Way in Cancer Care The new center is the most recent development in Scripps’

expanding capabilities in cancer care. The $220 million Scripps

Proton Therapy Center will be San Diego’s first facility to

offer advanced proton therapy to cancer patients — and just the

second west of the Rockies — when it opens in summer 2013 in

Mira Mesa. Owned by Advanced Particle Therapy, the center will

be operated by Scripps Health and Scripps Clinic Medical Group.

“Scripps is leading the way in cancer care with these two

extraordinary world-class centers,” says Ray Lin, MD, medical

director of Scripps Radiation Therapy Center. “There are few

facilities in the country that can rival us.”

Naming opportunities are still available for Scripps

Radiation Therapy Center. For more information on ways

to support cancer care at Scripps, please call 858-554-3046.

A SHINING LIGHT FOR SCRIPPSTrue to her name, Luz Villafana lights up a room with her optimism and bravery. The breast cancer survivor,

whose first name is Spanish for “light,” has made it her mission to speak out about the exceptional care at

Scripps, praising her personalized treatment.

“I am so very, very grateful to my Scripps care team,” says Luz, whose last radiation treatment was in

August 2011. “They treated me with such compassion and caring. I met with them before I ever received

treatment and got to know them on a more personal level. This personal touch diminished my anxiety

tremendously, and I believe it helped my healing process.”

Luz looks at all her health care providers, including surgeon Arthur Sanford, MD; oncologist Joan Kroener, MD;

and radiologist Ray Lin, MD, as well as the volunteers who provided tea and coffee in the waiting room,

as her personal cheerleaders, inspiring her to regain her health. The Escondido resident received

radiation treatments every day for seven weeks, driving from her home to La Jolla.

Luz is thrilled that Scripps patients will receive care at the state-of-the-art Scripps Radiation

Therapy Center.

“Scripps is one of the best in the nation and now has the best radiation facility to treat cancer,”

says Luz. “We are so lucky to have such dedication and skill right here in our own city.”

Community leaders, physicians, health care providers and grateful patients took tours of the $44 million Scripps Radiation Therapy Center at the October opening celebration.

Natural light, warm-colored furniture and rich fabrics create a comfortable, welcoming environment for patients.

Richard Kaylor and his dog, Mr. Lincoln, enjoy a stroll by the bay.

Richard Kaylor thanks his cardiac team at Scripps for helping him fulfill one of his lifelong dreams — stepping foot in all of the world’s oceans. Only three months after robotic surgery at Scripps Mercy Hospital, Richard was able to travel to the tiny village of Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost point of the United States. While he missed the polar bear wandering through town, he was able to dip a toe in the Arctic Ocean — the last ocean on his list.

The 78-year-old had been aware that he would eventually need surgery for a longstanding heart murmur, but he was amazed when he was walking stairs two days after a major procedure. And he had no idea he would be able to cross off another item on his bucket list about 12 weeks later.

RoboticsHeals Heart

Complex Procedure When Richard came home after a cruise to Hawaii in March 2012 with leg swelling and difficulty breathing, he wasn’t surprised

when his cardiologist Bruce Kimura, MD, told him the time had come for surgery.

Performed by cardiothoracic surgeon James Hemp, MD, the minimally invasive robotically assisted procedure was a mitral valve

repair — repair of the valve that controls blood flow on the left side of the heart — with a complete cyromaze.

About 40 percent of patients undergoing mitral valve surgery also have atrial fibrillation (AF), an irregular heartbeat. The cyromaze

procedure, which freezes and kills the nerves that cause AF, is often performed during a mitral valve repair to restore a regular

heartbeat and cure the AF. Dr. Hemp and his team also sutured the left atrial appendage to eliminate the risk of blood clots that

could lead to a stroke.

7

State-of-the-Art TechnologyRather than making a large incision in the chest to gain access

to the heart, Dr. Hemp used remotely controlled instruments

to perform the operation through a small incision at the side

of the chest, allowing for more precision and greater dexterity.

Advantages for the patient include less blood loss, reduced

pain, less risk of infection and less scarring. As Richard can

attest, most patients are able to recover quickly from robotic

procedures and resume their normal lifestyles — in Richard’s

case, traveling the world.

In addition, while most cases of AF are treated with drug

therapy that either thins the blood or slows down the heart

rate, the cyromaze procedure, in conjunction with the

mitral valve repair, means Richard does not have to take

antiarrhythmia drugs to correct an irregular heartbeat, or

blood thinners. Richard only has to take baby aspirin to

help prevent clots, perform moderate exercise and see

Dr. Kimura every six months.

“Robotics is changing surgery as we know it,” says Dr. Hemp,

who repaired three tears in Richard’s mitral valve. “Traditionally,

a complex surgery, such as Richard’s, would have been

performed by opening the chest. Now, we are able to get the

same, or better, results less invasively and improve the quality

of life for our patients.”

Scripps has the fastest-growing, most comprehensive robotics

program in San Diego and is the leader in cardiac and thoracic

robot-assisted surgeries,

performing more than 244

surgeries to date. Dr. Hemp,

listed as a top performing

doctor in cardiology and

heart surgery by U.S. News &

World Report, is the leader

in the San Diego region in

robot-assisted cardiothoracic

surgery, using the da Vinci

Surgical System to provide

patients, such as Richard,

with a highly effective, less

invasive treatment.

“Robotic surgery is amazing,” says Richard. “I had no pain

and healed so quickly, thanks to Dr. Hemp and Dr. Kimura.

I call Dr. Hemp a magician and am so grateful that he went the

extra mile to repair my mitral valve, instead of replacing it.”

The former high school teacher claims he is a geographer

intent on seeing the world now that he is retired. In October,

he and his wife, Phyllis, are off to the Panama Canal, where

Richard was stationed during his stint in the Navy 50 years ago.

In between globetrotting, the two stay closer to home and stay

fit by walking their dog, Mr. Lincoln, in nearby Balboa Park.

Jack and Eileen Anderson Donate $25 Million to Scripps

In September 2012, Eileen and John (“Jack”) R. Anderson IV donated $25 million to help build the newest addition

to Scripps Clinic, a 175,000-square-foot, multispecialty medical building on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital

La Jolla. In honor of their gift, the John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion is named after their youngest son, who passed

away from cancer in 2004.

A Tradition of Honor, Courage and CommitmentFrom the time they were married more than 60 years ago, Eileen and Jack have lived their lives according to the

same values embraced by the U.S. Navy: honor, courage and commitment.

These principles came naturally to the family. Jack served in the U.S. Navy during WWII and retired as a captain;

and both of the Andersons’ sons, Bruce and John V, also served their country in the Navy. Despite the uncertainties

that military life can bring, Jack and Eileen were certain about one thing.

“We knew very early on that we wanted to help people,” says Eileen.

Eileen and Jack Anderson have given generously to Scripps for almost 30 years.

9

Honorable WorkTrained as a structural engineer, one of Jack’s most

significant accomplishments is building the Marine Corps

Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms. After

a successful military career he started John R. Anderson

and Associates, an architect and engineering company,

and invented a form of precast concrete construction

that became a standard for the industry.

Eileen focused her attention on raising the couple’s three

children, Wendy, Bruce and John Jr., and became involved in

civic work, serving as president of the Palm Springs chapter

of the National Assistance League, as well as president of

the San Marino’s Women’s Club and volunteering at local

elementary schools.

Courageous DecisionsIt wasn’t until Jack retired from the Navy in the

mid-1980s that the Andersons came to know about

the world-class health care at Scripps.

“A friend of ours recommended Scripps Clinic,” Jack

recalls. “It was a long way to drive from Pasadena, but I was

impressed with them from the very first phone call. Once

I’d met the physicians and staff, I was hooked. I told Eileen

we’re not going anywhere else for our health care.’”

Many of their early experiences at Scripps involved

routine care, but in 2003 the Andersons faced a

life-changing decision. Their primary care physician,

Joel Diamant, MD, director of the internal medicine

residency program and head of the division of hospital

medicine at Scripps Clinic, discovered that Jack had an

enlarged aorta and required immediate surgery.

He referred Jack to Jeffrey Tyner, MD, head of

cardiothoracic surgery at Scripps Green Hospital

and part of the Scripps Minimally Invasive Robotic

Surgery Program.

Dr. Tyner vividly recalls their reaction, “I remember Jack

and Eileen looked at each other and then looked at me,

and said ‘life’s too short. We know you can do this.’”

Family TiesA number of Scripps physicians have helped Jack and

Eileen stay healthy through the years. Their first Scripps

physician was Richard Conroy, MD, now retired. Their

extended team of doctors includes notable physicians, such

as Clifford Colwell, MD, director of the Shiley Center

for Orthopaedic Research and Education (SCORE)

at Scripps Clinic; Robert Sarnoff, MD, president of

Scripps Clinic Medical Group, who specializes in

pulmonary medicine; and David Rubenson, MD, director

of the cardiac noninvasive laboratory at Scripps Clinic

and Scripps Green Hospital.

And when their son, John, called

home and told his parents he had

cancer, the couple turned to Hugh

Greenway, MD, the chairman of

Mohs and dermatologic surgery

at Scripps Clinic. Unfortunately,

John’s melanoma was already so far

advanced that he would not survive

his battle with the disease.

Sharing both triumph and sorrow, the Andersons came

to see the Scripps team as more than just physicians.

“We think of Scripps as part of our family,” says Jack and Eileen.

The new building is a tribute to John R. Anderson V.

The John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion will offer specialty services, including cardiology and neurology. The Scripps Clinic building will also house four cardiac catheritization labs.

Rear Admiral Dixon R. Smith, commander, Navy Region Southwest, joined Scripps leadership and physicians to honor Eileen and Jack Anderson for their $25 million gift during a private reception in September. After saluting Jack, the rear admiral presented him with a Navy challenge coin to honor him for outstanding service to our country.

A Commitment to the Future

So when Jack, now 91, and Eileen, 83, wanted to honor John’s

memory in a meaningful, lasting way, they again turned to Scripps.

“John had a lot of things in common with Scripps,” says Jack.

“He was a great thinker, an innovator. He was always trying to

make life better for somebody else — and that’s what Scripps

does. They’re doing great things here, and we want to make sure

they can continue to help others the way they helped us.”

“Jack and Eileen have always had a special place in our hearts,”

says Chris Van Gorder, president and CEO of Scripps Health.

“Not only have their gifts helped save and enhance the lives of

others throughout the years, they have personally enriched us as

individuals through their generosity and spirit of giving.

The John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion will build on their

legacy of giving and help us continue to provide advanced

medical services and state-of-the-art care to our community

for decades to come.”

The state-of-the-art, six-story facility will be home to more

than 60 physicians and offer a variety of specialty services,

including cardiology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, neurology,

nephrology and endocrinology. The building, which will be

attached by a pedestrian bridge to the Prebys Cardiovascular

Institute, will also include four cardiac catheterization labs that

will allow physicians to perform certain cardiac procedures in

an outpatient setting.

The Andersons’ history of giving to Scripps spans nearly three

decades. Their generosity will continue to touch thousands

of lives for years to come, helping to transform medicine by

supporting the latest advancements in lifesaving care, treatment

and research.

Holding hands, as they often do, Jack and Eileen feel fortunate

to have become a part of the Scripps family.

With tears in his eyes, Jack says, “If it wasn’t for Scripps,

I wouldn’t be alive today.”

Campaign for Cardiovascular Care

The Campaign for Cardiovascular Care will support a new era in heart care at Scripps. Recognized consistently by U.S. News & World

Report as one of the nation’s best in cardiovascular care, Scripps is the largest heart care program in the region, helping more than

55,000 patients every year.

The campaign includes fundraising efforts for the Scripps Clinic John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion and the Prebys Cardiovascular

Institute — a world-class heart care center that will serve as a destination for heart patients on the West Coast. Prebys Cardiovascular

Institute will bring together the renowned heart programs of Scripps into one central location, seamlessly integrating state-of-the-art

heart care services. In addition to providing the most advanced diagnostic and treatment options, the institute will serve as a center for

medical research, clinical trials, wireless medicine and graduate medical education.

Local TV Anchor Makes Strides with New Knee

Loren Nancarrow is a well-known face in San Diego.

As Fox-5 anchor and a local newscaster for more than three

decades, Loren’s job requires him to be out and about to report

on the latest events.

In 2011, Loren’s mobility began to slow

down due to a 20-year-old injury to his

anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a critical

ligament in the center of the knee. The

shattered ligament was repaired through

surgery in the late 80s, but Loren had

to undergo several additional surgeries

through the years. Eventually, he could no

longer ignore the continued deterioration.

“One of my legs started getting shorter than the other, and

my whole body was affected,” Loren explains. “My low back,

my hips, my ankles — they all started falling apart. I knew it

was time for something more permanent.”

WalkThis Way

As Fox-5 news anchor, Loren Nancarrow is a well-known face in San Diego.

After advanced knee surgery at Scripps, Loren continues his active outdoor

lifestyle, which includes hiking, biking and surfing. In this candid photo from

Loren, he is smiling as he strolls along one of his favorite San Diego beaches.

A Fresh StartAfter researching his options, Loren turned to the renowned

orthopedic specialists at Scripps Clinic.

“Through the advanced technology we have at Scripps, we

were able to replace the knee joint so that Loren can continue

his active lifestyle,” says Richard Walker, MD, orthopedic surgeon

at Scripps Clinic.

Dr. Walker performed Loren’s knee replacement with computer-

assisted navigation, a minimally invasive technique that uses a

transmitter to send signals to a satellite — and through a GPS

system — to ensure proper sizing, alignment and positioning

of the artificial knee joint.

“It really was remarkable,” notes Loren, who went back to work

one week after the two-hour surgery. “I felt almost no pain

afterward and was so impressed by the medical staff. Sometimes,

I think I’m treated better than others because I’m in the public

eye, but at Scripps I could see that wasn’t true. Everyone is treated

as well as I was.”

Loren says is almost up to speed physically and is back to playing

hard at some of his favorite activities — biking, hiking and surfing.

Advancing Orthopedic CarePlans are proceeding for the Musculoskeletal Center at Scripps

Clinic, a center for excellence in orthopedic care that will

consolidate Scripps Clinic subspecialties to offer care and

research in one convenient location. It will include orthopedic

surgery, neurosurgery, rheumatology, sports medicine, diagnostics,

rehabilitation and research.

community,” says William Stanton, MD, medical director

of cancer care at Scripps Mercy Hospital. “This center offers

a large, comfortable environment for our patients. We’ve also

added a research nurse to this center, which opens the door

for our patients to participate in clinical trials.”

Serving the Community

In addition to providing chemotherapy to treat cancer,

the new center serves patients with neurological,

rheumatological and gastrointestinal illnesses. Antibiotic

therapy, blood product transfusions, biotherapy and

intravenous hydration are also available.

While the Woltman Family Infusion Center will primarily

serve Scripps patients, other community physicians also

will have access to refer their patients to the new center.

Scripps Cancer Care

The Woltman Infusion Center is part of our Scripps cancer

care network, the only cancer care provider in San Diego

Supporters of Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas

saw their generous donations in action in August 2012,

when a bright white beam covered with signatures was

hoisted in place on top of the steel skeleton of the critical

care building.

The 61,643-square-foot facility is scheduled to open

in the summer of 2014, the first step in an ambitious

$94 million second phase of expansion for Scripps

Encinitas, which serves an area that has seen a significant

increase in population over the last two decades. The

critical care facility is the first patient care building to

be built at Scripps Encinitas since 1992.

With 27 beds, the new structure, when completed, will

more than double the size of the hospital's emergency

department. There will also be six ambulance bays for

improved access for first responders and 36 new medical

and surgical beds on the second floor, all in private rooms

for greater patient comfort and confidentiality. A helipad

will transport patients to a designated trauma center, if

needed. New technology will also be installed, including

magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography and

diagnostic X-ray units.

The first part of the expansion included a parking

structure, which opened in spring 2011. As part of the

second phase of expansion, Scripps will provide more

than $4 million in public infrastructure improvements,

including enhancements to Devonshire Drive and the

southbound Interstate 5 off-ramp at Santa Fe Drive.

Campaign for Scripps EncinitasCosts to build and equip the campus expansion are funded

through a combination of philanthropic gifts, income

from operations and debt financing. The 354 Campaign,

part of the Campaign for Scripps Encinitas, seeks to raise

$1 million in donations, ranging from $1,000 to $20,000.

The grassroots fundraising effort is named after the address

of the hospital and encourages donations from local

residents for the expansion.

A recent donation of $3.8 million from a Rancho Santa Fe

family to support the campaign brings the total raised to

more than $33 million. The family has anonymously donated

$10 million in total to Scripps Encinitas, helping to fund the

largest expansion effort at the hospital in several decades.
