Crystal Ball 2023 returns to the Pasadena Convention Center on Saturday,
October 7th.
USC Arcadia Hospital has a widely recognized reputation for being a center
of excellence for stroke and heart care. We are fully accredited as a
comprehensive stroke center and have been designated by L.A. County Emergency
Medical Services as a heart attack receiving center and a comprehensive
stroke center.
This means that USC Arcadia Hospital is prepared to fully treat all stroke
patients onsite with the most advanced, appropriate level of care. Such
comprehensive care includes not only diagnosis and treatment by highly
specialized physicians, but also the use of equipment and technology that
enables our physicians to perform highly complex procedures, including
clot extraction and coiling of aneurysms.
Annually, USC Arcadia Hospital treats more than 2,000 patients in our angiography
suites, providing life-saving procedures to stroke as well as heart attack
patients, with patient volumes continuing to rise. Based on increasing
demand for high-level neurological imaging services, we need to acquire
an additional biplane imaging system to help achieve this goal, as well
as the capacity to serve a growing demand for cardiac services. A second
biplane imaging system is a key piece of equipment necessary for performing
these life-saving procedures. The cost of acquiring this state-of -the-art
equipment is approximately $3.5 million.
The proceeds of our 34th Crystal Ball will go toward the purchase of this new technology. Your
support tonight helps us continue our mission “to provide high-quality
healing services while caring for the patient's emotional and spiritual
needs and enabling them to achieve health for life.”
On behalf of event co-chairs Angel Throop and Melinda Rogers, our physicians,
hospital staff and the patients we serve, consider becoming a sponsor
today to support USC Arcadia Hospital.
