Loma Linda University Health is launching the Smoke-Free HOPE initiative, a smoking cessation program for pregnant women in San Bernardino County that was developed in response to recent research on pregnant smokers published by Loma Linda University. Smoking cessation advocates at LLUH have worked to build upon their previous model by designing Smoke-Free HOPE, an approach they believe will lead to even higher cessation outcomes. “By working with the smoker and their household on an individualized level, we feel we can achieve even higher rates of smoking cessation of pregnant smokers that will help make an even greater impact in reducing this health disparity in our county,” said Pramil Singh, DrPH, director of the Transdisciplinary Tobacco Research Program at Loma Linda University Cancer Center and a professor at Loma Linda University School of Medicine.

We are excited to celebrate our Spring 2024 #DaisyAward Honoree Jaime! 🎉 Read Jaime's nomination ⤵️ "I am a patient with chronic pancreatitis. I have not been able to digest or keep any food down in approximately 6 days. I am extremely weak; my hair is falling out in clumps, and I am losing dangerous amounts of weight very quickly. The abdominal pain can be nearly unbearable. "Jaime Hasler was my roommate’s nurse. She was very positive and encouraging to me from the moment I met her even though she wasn’t my nurse. Jaime noticed that I was frustrated and upset, and she basically adopted me as her own patient in addition to the other patients that she already had. She checked on me, administered my medication, and treated me like I was her own patient. I thanked her profusely and she continued to tell me that she didn’t mind helping me. "It was definitely extra work for her. She never complained and she actually smiled the entire time and made me feel better. She was so kind and encouraging and because of her kindness and compassion I was able to focus on getting well. I am so grateful for Jaime! She changed my healing experience and made me feel so much more positive. Thank you, Jaime! You are a positive, generous, and a kind angel." Help us congratulate Jaime on her compassionate care ♥️

A variety of vegetarian diets appear to protect against risk of mortality and contributing conditions, with a pesco-vegetarian diet — which includes fish — providing the most protection against risk in very elderly people, according to a new study. Researchers at LLUH found that vegetarian diets are associated with lower risk for all-cause mortality and many cause-specific mortalities, especially among males and in middle-aged subjects. However, slightly higher risks were observed among very elderly vegetarians for neurological conditions such as stroke, dementia, and Parkinson’s Disease. Despite this, the pesco-vegetarian diet continued to offer a small but noticeable advantage over other vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets, even in elderly people. "These increased risks of neurological conditions among vegetarians in their 80s weren’t huge, but something is going on there that we shouldn’t ignore," says Gary Fraser, distinguished professor at Loma Linda University School of Public Health.

We are excited to celebrate our Spring 2024 #DaisyAward Honoree PK! 🎉 Read a portion of PK's nomination ⤵️ "I started my path towards obtaining the gastric bypass in 2018. Fast forward to 2019—the day I first met PK. I still remember sitting in room one, my heartbeat unsteady, my hands across my belly, and my thumbs twiddling around one another. PK walked in with such a welcoming smile and those nerves slowly started to calm down. Truth be told, I did feel intimidated, as though I was about to be judged and even persecuted for where my current weight had checked in; PK simply washed every one of those feelings off with his warm bedside manner of allowing me to feel human (normal). "PK worked hand and hand with me at our monthly visits. Helping me establish a pattern with medication, mental health issues, as well as taking an interest in my schooling at the time. Each visit made me feel proud of what I was accomplishing, not just in my everyday life but on my path towards achieving my goals of getting this life altering surgery. In November 2019, I got the green light from PK that I had made it through all the obstacles I needed to get through for the surgery. It felt like a victory for both of us because how invested PK was to see me reach my goal. However, as 2020 rolled in the pandemic hit, and the operation went on the back burner as many other peoples had. That year, I experienced many life-changing moments as many others had during that time. "Four years later I finally checked into the bariatric surgical department. After getting all hooked up with my mama at my side a little knock and a peek in through the curtain enters PK, this amazing man that never once allowed me to give up on making it to that moment in time. PK graciously asked to pray over me and helped push me into the operation room. As they did their final preparation for me, PK stood there at my side as he had promised to talk to me about the next goals I needed to achieve and even about the different law schools I was considering. "I am now 7 months post op, and I am studying to take my LSATs to apply to law school. Although I know many people contributed to my surgery and even my mental well-being, in my heart, PK is the reason I made it this far in my surgical journey. PK ’s inability to not allow the world around me to crumble my dreams and goals. The motivation and drive to push and encourage me to not give up. Above all, PKs superpower of insuring me, that I could do anything; even when things seemed impossible and unattainable. "Nonetheless, this is my story and journey with PK, whom I thank and owe so much to this person. I do believe PK saved my life in more than one way. For this is the reason I believe that PK should obtain the DAISY Award. I thank those who take time in reading my journey and the amazing kind-hearted person PK is."
