NOVEMBER 2010 THE BEST OF LONG BEACH 68 Dedicated to a Cause Partnerships in Excellence (PIE) In 2002, nine local businesses came together with a common goal: provide philanthropic support to improve healthcare in the Long Beach community. That dedicated group raised $7,000 to purchase capital equipment for the MemorialCare Center for Women at Miller Children's Hospital Long Beach (MCHLB) and Long Beach Memorial (LBM). Partnerships in Excellence program had grown to 92 members and raised over $207,000 to purchase a C-arm x-ray machine for the Guenther Pediatric Surgery Center at MCHLB. To date, PIE has contributed more than $1 million to LBM and MCHLB. This year, PIE Members are dedicated to raising support for adult and pediatric cancer patients. Their support to purchase a bronchoscope (used to view airways and mark tumors in the lungs) and two handheld ultrasounds, will help physicians provide cutting edge diagnostic care. To raise their next million, the Partners invite you to help. For more information about Partnerships in Excellence, contact Wanda Cockey, Director, Annual Giving – 562.933.1655, wcockey@memorialcare.org or www.lbmmcf.org. Applaud them. Support them. Join them.
