LOMA LINDA UNIVERSITY CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
HIGHLIGHTS
Loma Linda University (LLU) Children’s Hospital is proud to partner
with our community on this beautiful evening as we rise up to support
whole-child care. The COVID-19 pandemic has made unbearable
circumstances only worse as children of the Inland Empire are
disproportionately affected by abuse, neglect and other adverse
childhood experiences. At Loma Linda University Children’s Health, we
are dedicated to caring for all children, making them whole in mind,
body and spirit.
LLU Children’s Hospital provides the highest level of trauma care for
the 1.2 million children of San Bernardino, Riverside, Inyo and Mono
counties – making it your Children’s Hospital.
Tonight’s proceeds, with your support, will contribute to our mission
and help the children in our communities reach a place of wholeness.
LLU Children’s Hospital continues to be a place of compassionate care
where we champion the health and safety of children in our local and
global communities.

LETTER FROM FOUNDATION CHAIR
Dear Friends,
We are excited you've joined us for our 28th Annual Loma Linda
University Children’s Hospital Foundation Gala – Resiliency.
In the past, our galas have supported areas of pediatric healthcare we
are accustomed to learning about – pediatric cardiac care, neonatal
intensive care, pediatric cancer and, most recently, our new Children’s
Hospital tower.
This year’s event is unique for many reasons, because tonight we will
make a difference in the unspoken areas of children’s lives, as they battle
this pandemic in ways we could never have envisioned.
Tonight’s Resiliency Gala strives to reveal the unbearable circumstances some children
of the Inland Empire are experiencing – abuse, neglect, depression – made worse by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
These topics are hard to hear, particularly when children are impacted. As adults, our
responsibility is to give voice to silenced children and rise up for their support, not turn away in
our discomfort.
Please join me tonight by recognizing that whole-child care includes mind, body and spirit. We
have the ability to bring hope and healing to the children in our communities.
Thank you for choosing to be a part of this evening.
Sincerely,
Barbara L. Robinson
Chair
Loma Linda University Children's Hospital Foundation

LETTER FROM ADMINISTRATOR
Dear Friends,
Welcome to our 28th Annual Loma Linda University Children's Hospital
Foundation Gala – Resiliency. We’ve said that word, resiliency, many times this
past year so let’s take a moment to consider its meaning.
Resiliency is defined as the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. We all
know this past year has been anything but “quick.” In fact, this year has been
long and challenging for all of us. However, as adults, we have a responsibility
to future generations to be resilient, to lead by example, pull through and
continue on.
Imagine experiencing the pandemic through the eyes of a child. Now, imagine this same child facing
peril in the form of trauma, threats, food insecurity or neglect. The unacceptable reality is children in our
communities face tremendous adversity every day and the pandemic has only worsened life for many
of them.
Tonight, we are coming together to support the whole-child concept of resiliency for children. Our objective
is to provide children with the tools they need to recover from stressful events in their childhood, so
they can be trusting, curious and brave. We want to equip children to grow up and reach for their long-
term goals.
Thank you for your participation tonight as we help to shape the future for children who endure
extreme circumstances.
Please enjoy the evening.

LETTER FROM PRESENTING SPONSOR
Good evening,
As a family, we are honored to come together and support the young patients
at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital as the Presenting Sponsors of
the 28th Annual Foundation Gala – Resiliency.
This evening’s theme is especially relevant as we support our most
vulnerable children during National Child Abuse Prevention Month. While
it is uncomfortable to acknowledge the neglect and trauma children in our
community experience, it is no reason to turn our heads and hearts away.
Tonight, we shine a light on this need and we ask that you join us.
There is incredible hope when a community comes together to bring healing to the most vulnerable
among us. Tonight, you are a part of that community and we thank you for joining us on this journey.

Hospital patient and a Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital board

Children’s Hospital.
/ 7 /PAYGE’S STORY
Payge was rushed to LLU Children’s Hospital in July of 2018 after being removed from her home by San
Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies. She had been extremely malnourished and neglected.
At three months of age, Payge was skeletal looking.
“She had a significant yeast infection on her skin under her neck, in her diaper area and legs,” said Melissa
Siccama, MD, a forensic pediatrician at Children’s Hospital. “She was very cachectic, meaning she had no
subcutaneous fat on her body. You could see her ribs, her sternum — you could see her bones.”
Siccama told the deputies that if they had not found Payge, she could have died within several days.
“Her case was one of the worst cases that I have ever seen,” Siccama said.
Doctors like Siccama and Amy Young-Snodgrass, MD, who specialize in child abuse pediatrics at Children’s
Hospital, were committed to Payge’s care and determined to help her survive.
After days in the hospital, Payge began to improve and gain weight under the watchful and attentive care of
the physicians, nurses and staff. Her recovery was nothing short of miraculous.
Now three years old and thriving, Payge is in the loving care of her forever family. Her former foster family
adopted her in 2020.
Payge’s mother, Dawn Huff, says she loves LLU Children's Hospital and is thankful for the community
effort that brought Payge into her family’s life.
“I look back at the scrapbook I’ve made of her photos and
am shocked to see how tiny and sickly she was,” Dawn
says. “She was this emaciated baby so close to death and
now she’s going to turn three and is just amazing — her
personality, the fighting spirit she has. She’s come so far.”
/ 8 /NEURONAVIGATION: GPS FOR THE BRAIN
Each year, LLU Children’s Hospital treats over 1,200 children for neurological disorders and conditions
from our region and others across the United States. Nearly one in every five of these patients requires
neurosurgery to address their condition or injury, a procedure that demands the most accurate equipment.
The brain is the most complex structure in the universe, housing more than 100 billion neurons. Inside
the brain is an abundance of eloquent areas containing fragile brain tissue and areas that are sensitive
to surgical manipulation. Even more challenging, there are no surface landmarks for safe passage
into deep structures, making pediatric neurosurgery a delicate and precarious operation where every
millimeter counts.
Neuronavigation equipment is critical for helping surgeons perform safe and accurate life-saving brain
surgery while preserving brain function. The most commonly
asked question of a neurosurgeon is, “Will my child be the same
after surgery?”
To help support the most positive outcomes
for every patient, we are raising funds for the
purchase of an S8 Medtronic neuronavigation
system — the most advanced neurosurgery
equipment available for children.
Please join us today to expand the potential
of our pediatric neurosurgeons to heal
without constraints.

/ 16 /2020 RECIPIENT OF THE DR. LEONARD L. BAILEY
OUTSTANDING CLINICIAN AWARD
RICARDO PEVERINI, MD
Long before he became president of Loma Linda University Faculty
Medical Group — an entity comprising nearly 1,100 physicians —
Ricardo Peverini, MD, possessed a strong passion for infant patient
care and creating mechanisms to enhance care. With a powerful
combination of skills, Peverini has served Loma Linda University Health
for 32 years and contributed to the organization's mission in profoundly
significant ways as a dedicated clinician and pioneering administrator.
A native of Uruguay, Peverini came with his family to the United States.
Ultimately becoming a physician specializing in neonatology, Peverini’s
journey to healthcare started with an interest in numbers and systems.
Prior to medical school, he completed a bachelor’s degree in biophysics and mathematics, followed
by a master’s degree in computing science.
With this foundation, Peverini came to Loma Linda University to study medicine and work as a
pediatrics resident with a fellowship in neonatology. He would later earn a master’s degree in
medical informatics from Stanford University.
Today, colleagues describe Peverini as being ultra-dedicated to his work as a clinician. He is
tremendously skilled at deciphering what a sick infant may be experiencing. He also brings a gentle,
sympathetic way of helping parents understand what they’re facing and the possible solutions.
He frequently stays with patients and their families long into the evening, offering reassurance
and a listening ear to help them process their fear. He’s also known as an excellent teacher of
his specialty.
Beyond his clinical work, Peverini has been a major force in contributing to world-class care in
the region. Shortly after becoming division chief of neonatology in 1998, he established two
endowments that help support the department’s mission of caring for preterm infants and those
with congenital diseases. He also worked to continually improve support to clinicians, using his
skills to examine numbers and metrics to consolidate departments and structures, saving money
and other resources.
Peverini created what was the organization’s first widely-adopted electronic medical charting
process, enabling himself and other clinicians to spend more time with patients and their families.
Even with the adoption of vendor systems — the implementation of which he led — clinicians still
periodically access data from Peverini’s original system and speak highly of its design.
For his lifelong dedication and distinguished service provided to his infant patients and to his
colleagues at Loma Linda University Health, the Children’s Hospital Foundation is honored to
recognize Ricardo Peverini, MD, with the Outstanding Clinician Award.
/ 17 /HOMETOWN HERO AWARD
The Hometown Hero Award recognizes the contributions of individuals who share our passion for children
and help enrich the quality of life in our communities. The Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital
Foundation is grateful to those individuals whose commitment means a brighter future for the children’s
lives they have touched.

Robin has firsthand experience with having a child admitted to
Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. In 2005, after Robin and her

disease, pediatric oncology, women’s health and women’s cancers.
She has helped raise more than $5 million for kids with pediatric cancers through her work with
the annual “K-Frogger’s for Kid’s Radiothon.” She proudly sits on the board of Children’s Hospital
Foundation, emcees Loma Linda University Health’s Annual Women’s Conference, and has emceed
the Children’s Hospital Foundation Gala for many years, helping to raise more than $400,000
through the live auction.
In addition to her work as a pediatric and women’s healthcare advocate, Robin dedicates her
personal time to emceeing and supporting fundraising for other events such as the Riverside
Police Officer’s Association Gala, the American Cancer Society and LifeStream Blood Bank
donor celebrations.
For her service and dedication to her community, it is an honor to recognize Robin Diamond-Ward
with the Hometown Hero Award.
