CHLA medical team takes a group photo prior to conjoined twin separation surgery.
Dear Colleagues,

This Friday evening at 6:30 p.m., CBS News will broadcast coverage of a historic medical milestone in Haiti led by CHLA physicians.

TWO TIMES TO TUNE IN TO CBS NEWS

·         Friday, June 5, 6:30 p.m.

·         Sunday, June 7, 9:00 a.m.

Two weeks ago, an 18-person medical team left CHLA on a medical mission to Haiti. Henri Ford, MD, MHA, vice president, surgeon-in-chief and chair of the Department of Surgery, led an international team of clinicians in a complex, seven-hour surgery to separate conjoined twin girls, Marian and Michelle. Among the caregivers who participated in this historic event, 18 members were from CHLA and Keck Medicine of USC and 12 members were from Haiti.

The surgery was a success and the girls, now just over six months, are progressing through their recovery well. Local media covered the surgery as a source of national pride—an acknowledgment that Haiti is progressing towards full recovery from the earthquake it experienced in 2010 and that it has reached a new milestone in its ability to care for its people. We believe that CBS’ national coverage of this historic effort will highlight the impact of CHLA’s mission on an international scale.

Sincerely,

 

RICHARD D. CORDOVA, FACHE
President and Chief Executive Officer
