Elevating Health Care.
In December 2009, Glendora resident
Mike Starr suddenly felt his heart
race. When it didn’t go away, his wife
Sharon drove him to the Emergency
Room (ER) at Foothill Presbyterian
Hospital, part of the Citrus Valley
Health Partners (CVHP) system.
There, staff connected the 66-year-
old business owner to a cardiac
monitor and discovered his heart
rate was a dangerously fast 230
beats per minute. ER doctors took
immediate action, using a defibrillator
to successfully “shock” Mike’s heart
back into normal rhythm––saving
his life in the process. Mike was
quickly stabilized and admitted to
the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for
observation.
Heart of the Mission
Although Mike was out of danger for
the moment, his doctors wanted to
make sure they could prevent another
life-threatening episode. Fortunately
for Mike, expert cardiac care was
available close by at Citrus Valley
Medical Center—Inter-Community
Campus in Covina, one of several
CVHP facilities. The following
morning, Mike was transferred to the
Citrus Valley Heart Center at Inter-
Community hospital for angioplasty—
a surgical procedure used to widen a
blocked or narrowed artery. Together,
the team determined Mike needed
a special device called an AICD
(Automated Implantable Cardioverter
2 | C I T R U S VA L L E Y H E A LT H PA R T N E R S M A G A Z I N E
Together.
Defibrillator) that automatically
monitors and treats abnormal heart
rhythms. Mike had the AICD implanted
in his chest and hasn’t had another
heart-racing episode since—thanks
to the expertise and teamwork of the
CVHP system. “The whole process
went very smoothly at both hospitals,”
Former Foothill Presbyterian and Inter-Community
patient Mike Starr is grateful for the care he received.
Mike says. “When I was transferred to
Inter-Community, they were all ready
and waiting for me. Everyone knew
exactly what they were doing. It gave
me a lot of confidence that I had come
to the right place.”
Mike’s experience goes to the heart
of the CVHP mission. “Each of our
facilities has its own unique strengths
and centers of excellence,” says
CVHP President and CEO Robert H.
Curry. “And because we are part of
the same system family, our patients
have access to all of these specialized
services close to home.”
“
The CVHP system includes three
hospitals––Foothill Presbyterian
Hospital in Glendora, Citrus Valley
Medical Center—Inter-Community
Campus in Covina, and Citrus Valley
Medical Center—Queen of the Valley
Campus in West Covina––as well as
Citrus Valley Hospice and Home Health
in West Covina. With more than
1,000 physicians and over 3,000
employees, CVHP is the only health
system solely focused on serving the
nearly one million residents of the
East San Gabriel Valley.
Unique Strengths
Foothill Presbyterian Hospital
offers a unique blend of acute care
and specialty services that includes
state-of-the-art emergency care, the
Citrus Valley Centers for Rehabilitation
Services and an outpatient diabetes
education program that has been
recognized and accredited by the
American Diabetes Association as
a Center of Excellence.
Citrus Valley Medical Center—
Inter-Community Campus offers a
full range of inpatient and outpatient
services, specializing in cancer
treatment, wound care and cardiac care,
including the only open-heart surgery
program in the East San Gabriel Valley.
Citrus Valley Medical Center—

maternity services and highly

Family Cancer Center, robotic surgery
and a full range of rehabilitation
services.

Citrus Valley Hospice and Home

Health provides an extensive home
care program as well as an inpatient
hospice facility designed to provide
supportive care to patients in the
final stage of terminal illness.

Each of these facilities brings unique

strengths and expertise to the
community, providing a continuum of
care for every stage of life. “We are
committed to bringing world-class
medical technology and care to the
residents of the East San Gabriel Valley,”
says Curry. “Our patients can rely on
CVHP facilities to work together as a
system to meet their health care needs.”

Giving Back
The system certainly worked for Mike
Starr. In fact, Mike was so impressed
by his experience with CVHP that he
wanted to give back. That’s why he
regularly works as a volunteer in the
ER at Foothill Presbyterian Hospital.
As Mike says, “My life was saved at
Foothill––and my future was preserved
at Inter-Community hospital.”

 “ Diabetes that’s not controlled
sweet
success:
Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies
Having another baby was the last thing
on 43-year-old Jovita Toribio’s mind.
She and her husband already had two
adult children—a daughter, 28, and
a son almost 20. And she’d recently
been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes,
which meant that pregnancy would
present special challenges. “When
my ob-gyn explained the risks, I was
worried about what could go wrong,”
she says.
“Diabetes that isn’t well controlled
can affect the health of both mother
and baby,” explains Ann Kuns, RN,
who coordinates the Outpatient
Diabetes Education Program at Foothill
Presbyterian Hospital and Citrus
Valley Medical Center—Queen of the
Valley Campus. “Our main concerns
are miscarriage, preterm birth, birth
defects and macrosomia, which means
the baby grows too large. A big baby
makes vaginal delivery difficult and
increases the risk of birth injuries.”
Preventing Problems
Moms-to-be can develop
complications, too, including life-
threatening high blood pressure. But
most problems can be prevented by
maintaining near-normal blood sugar
levels throughout pregnancy. That’s
where a program called Sweet Success
comes in. Sweet Success provides
education and support for women
who have existing diabetes or develop
it while pregnant (gestational diabetes).
4 | C I T R U S VA L L E Y H E A LT H PA R T N E R S M A G A Z I N E
can affect the health of both
”
mother and baby.
The program is staffed by an expert
team of diabetes nurse educators,
dietitians and counselors who are
bilingual in Spanish and English.
These caring professionals offer
classes, support groups, one-on-one
counseling and phone consultations
to help guide women through each
stage of pregnancy.
Jovita says that Sweet Success changed
her life. “The program was the best
thing that ever happened to me.
Before that, I wasn’t taking care of
myself. Once I was in Sweet Success,
I started eating right and exercising and
got my blood sugar under control.”
Sweet Success Babies
Jovita managed her diabetes so well
that she actually lost 25 pounds during
her pregnancy. Her daughter, Ariana,
was born in perfect health.
Ann says that Ariana is just one of
many perfect Sweet Success babies.
“Less than 5 percent of our newborns
have any problems. And our moms
have fewer pregnancy complications
than women who don’t have diabetes.”
The Outpatient Diabetes Education
Program is recognized and accredited
by the American Diabetes Association
as a Center of Excellence. To learn more
about this program or other Citrus
Valley Health Partners facilities and
services, visit www.cvhp.org, or call
the Doctor Connection for a physician
referral at 1-888-456-CVHP (2847).
robotic
surgery
The Health Care of the Future—Today
In the fall of 2009, a routine exam revealed four
lumps in Juan Flores’ prostate gland. Although his
doctor recommended an immediate biopsy, Juan
hesitated. “I knew there were risks,” he says.
“And frankly, I didn’t want to know the results.”
When two of the lumps turned out to be
malignant, the West Covina resident again took
his time, carefully weighing the options before
deciding on a treatment.
Robotic Surgery
When Juan finally underwent surgery in
January 2010 to remove his prostate gland,
a groundbreaking technology was available
at Citrus Valley Medical Center—Queen of
the Valley Campus. The hospital had recently
acquired the most advanced version of the
da Vinci surgical robot.
® Leading-Edge Technology
“A robot doesn’t replace the surgeon,” urologist
Sung Choe, MD, explains. “Instead, it allows
surgeons to operate with far more precision,
maneuverability and control, especially in hard-
to-reach areas like the pelvis.”
Rather than performing the surgery manually,
the surgeon guides the operation from a console
near the operating table. The surgeon’s hand
movements are transmitted to robotic arms
holding extremely precise and flexible surgical
instruments. Throughout the procedure, a
special camera provides a highly magnified,
three-dimensional view inside the patient’s body.
Dr. Choe says that minimally invasive robotic
procedures provide many benefits. “Patients lose
less blood, have a shorter hospital stay—usually
less than 24 hours—and recover far more quickly
than after traditional surgery. For most men,
continence returns sooner, too.”
Juan was no exception. “I had absolute
confidence that the surgery would be
impeccable, and it was. I can’t say enough
about the care I received from Dr. Choe and the
hospital staff. Everyone was so compassionate
and attentive that I felt like a guest in a suite at
a five-star hotel.”
In addition to prostatectomies, surgeons at
Queen of the Valley perform hysterectomies
and other general surgical procedures using
the da Vinci robot.
Dr. Choe is passionate about the da Vinci system.
“I feel privileged to be working in a time when
this revolutionary technology is available. And I’m
especially grateful that we’re able to offer it to
our community.”
With cancer behind him, Juan has resumed his
normal life. He has also made contributions to
the Citrus Valley Health Foundation. “It’s my way
of saying thank you,” he says.
To learn more about the da Vinci surgical
robot at Queen of the Valley or other Citrus
Valley Health Partners facilities and services, visit
www.cvhp.org, or call the Doctor Connection for
a physician referral at 1-888-456-CVHP (2847).

Hospice: End-of-Life Care
For terminally ill individuals and those
who love them, dealing with the realities
of impending death is one of life’s biggest
challenges.
Citrus Valley Hospice cares for hundreds
of terminally ill patients and their families
every year, enabling people to spend their
final days at home. The hospice team
provides pain management and symptom
control, as well as spiritual and psychosocial
support. Family members typically act as
primary caregivers and are supported by
hospice team members, who visit regularly
to provide the patient and family with
additional care.
“Being in familiar surroundings provides an
important sense of peace and comfort,” says
Covina Councilman Walter Allen III, whose
wife passed away at Citrus Valley Hospice
in 2009.
When more acute care is needed, Citrus
Valley Hospice has a 10-bed inpatient
facility—one of only 38 freestanding
hospices in the United States.
Citrus Valley Health Partners also offers
home health care services for people
recovering from an operation or illness.

health services, call (626) 859-2263.
