LLU&MC Scope, Autumn 1997, excellent and noteworthy

Each year, Loma Linda University Medical Center is recognized as one of the leaders in health care by various organizations who compile the ratings. Each year, Loma Linda clinicians and researchers are honored by their professional organizations for excellence in their fields. Each year, individuals journey to Loma Linda from around the world because of this earned reputation of renown and distinction.

Patients come to Loma Linda to find caring, attentive, highly skilled physicians to listen to their symptoms and offer hope for tomorrow. Resident physicians come to Loma Linda--not only to seek the broad range of clinical experiences necessary to become knowledgeable physicians--but also to find in their professors role models for their professional and personal lives. Scientists come to Loma Linda to study with noted researchers who are pulling back the drapes of the unknown. Students come to Loma Linda to acquire a foundation of knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes.

Each year, the list of honors seems to grow. Last year, Blue Cross awarded California's prestigious Blue Ribbon to Loma Linda University Medical Center, recognizing excellence in areas of staffing, service, and expertise. National Research Corporation, an independent health-care research firm, named LLUMC the best hospital in San Bernardino and Riverside counties, as well as among the best in California and the nation.

LLUMC was listed as one of the best hospitals in the United States in endocrinology, neurology, and urology by U.S. News and World Report. Loma Linda's heart physicians were named among the nation's best by Good Housekeeping magazine.

Twenty-nine physicians at LLUMC were listed in the publication, The Best Doctors in America. LLUMC was named one of the best hospitals for the treatment of cancer and as one of the top centers managing gynecological problems in another U.S. News and World Report.

The nation's top news organizations frequently feature stories about Loma Linda achievements, and seek advice and comments from Loma Linda's experts in the topic of the moment. Reporters from ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, "PrimeTime Live," The New York Times, and Associated Press all repeatedly come calling at our door. Experts from Loma Linda are featured worldwide, demonstrating professional skills, personal integrity, and Christian compassion.

Excerpts from the University and Medical Center mission statements provide a clue to the motivation for such service:

"to enhance the quality of life in the local, national, and world communities"
"demonstrating Divine compassion and kindness"
"humanitarian service through people, programs, and facilities"
"comprehensive, competent, and compassionate health care for the whole person."

In this issue of SCOPE, you may catch a glimpse of such motivation. To be excellent and noteworthy is a noble goal in an atmosphere of service and compassion.
