Huntington Health

The Heart of Huntington Award recognizes team members who go above and beyond to care for our patients, families and one another. At our 19th Heart of Huntington ceremony, we were proud to honor pulmonologist Ayman Saad, MD, emergency department nurse Andrew Solorza, RN, and Betty Mandujano for the compassion, dedication, and humanity they bring to Huntington Health every day.

From guiding families through life’s most difficult moments, to inspiring colleagues, to creating comfort and connection from the very first patient interaction, each of these honorees exemplifies what it means to lead with heart. Thank you for making a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve!

That's a wrap on Older Americans Month! A highlight was joining the City of Pasadena's fifth annual Older Americans Month Celebration. Our Senior Care Network, stroke and nutrition teams spent the day connecting with older adults, sharing resources and supporting healthy aging.

Community days are always our favorite days!

Congratulations to Kimberly Dinh, RN, from our float pool team, on receiving a DAISY Award for extraordinary nursing care! Kimberly was nominated by a grateful patient who shared how her calm presence and quick action brought comfort during her hospital stay.

“On my second day, I experienced severe anxiety...Kim responded immediately, stayed by my side and calmly explained what was happening, making sure I felt safe and understood. Her calm demeanor and clear communication turned a frightening moment into one I could manage. Her empathy and professionalism had a significant impact on my recovery.”

Thank you, Kimberly, for the compassion and excellence you bring to every patient! 🌼
