Pam Kessler’s baby was sick all night. When he began throwing up blood the next day, she rushed him Providence Tarzana. Diagnosed with an intestinal blockage, her son immediately went into surgery. Dr. Shaul, the surgeon, emerged at 1:30 AM from the OR to tell Pam the surgery had been successful and that her son had a wonderful prognosis.

The Kashani family has been going to Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center for generations. From broken bones to the birth of their children, and even a heart surgery, they have decades of gratitude for the compassionate care received. So the family made a generous $1 million gift to enable the hospital to grow.

Allison Clago is a real Valley girl who grew up before shopping malls became the icon of LA’s biggest suburb. These days, she’s a successful stockbroker and determined to give back. Her $4 million trust will help Tarzana have a bigger and better facility for the community’s sake.
