In medicine, miracles happen every day and have the ability to improve lives. Ambassadors provide many avenues for success in health." – Terry and Joe Hohm, Rolling Hills Estates "As a member of Torrance Memorial's Ambassadors Program since 1987, I am proud of the exceptional support it gives to four community services, in particular, the Burn Center. I am aware that few other hospitals provide support for critically burned patients in need of optimal care—from the time of injury through rehabilitation. Additionally, Torrance Memorial's Burn Center is one of 78 hospitals in the country that is verified by the American Burn Association and the American College of Surgeons." – Carole Hoffman, Rolling Hills "We are grateful to our physicians and the community for their generous support of the Ambassador Program. As an annual giving program, Ambassadors understand how critically important it is to sustain programs and services that benefit hundreds of people each day. Supporting the Ambassador Program is a community investment." - Judith Gassner, Senior Director of Development and Principal Gifts, Torrance Memorial Foundation
