Over the course of two and a half weeks, we collected nearly 1,000 pounds of non-perishable food products during our winter food drive for local not-for-profit food bank, Sowing Seeds for Life 💚

We thank our many Associates, patients and visitors for taking the time to shop and donate to this cause! Your generosity will help hardworking individuals and families who may be experiencing food insecurity, especially during the winter and holiday season.

Sowing Seeds for life serves more than 7,000 people and families in the Los Angeles and Inland Valley areas every month. If you or someone you know is facing hunger, we encourage you to seek assistance by attending its drive-thru food pantry at Charisma Life Church in Pomona.

On Friday, December 5th, the Pomona Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual Holiday for Heroes luncheon, which honors first responders and veterans from the Pomona Police Department, the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the United States Army.

Among the honorees was Officer Yasmin Rodriguez, who was joined by her husband and our night shift charge nurse in the Emergency Department, Ryan Sieger, RN. We were tremendously proud to be able to join in recognizing Officer Rodriguez as not only one of Pomona’s finest, but as a member of our PVHMC family as well. Heroes really do run in the family ❤

“Officer Yasmin Rodriguez is Pomona Police Department’s first female apprehension K9 handler, breaking barriers and helping build one of the most effective K9 teams the department has seen in years. Known for her courage and exceptional work ethic, she has remained composed throughout three officer-involved shootings and successfully executed multiple high-risk K9 apprehensions. Her proactive policing recently led to the arrest of two suspects now likely to face murder charges. Born and raised in Pomona and a former Police Explorer, Officer Rodriguez embodies dedication, bravery and service – making her an outstanding choice for the Holiday for Heroes award.”

Congratulations to Officer Rodriguez and to ALL the Holiday for Heroes honorees – we thank you for your service to our community.

When Shannon Hutchens went into cardiac arrest at home on July 14th, her family didn’t hesitate - they immediately acted by calling 911 and starting CPR. Their quick action, along with the advanced cardiac care she received during her 19 days in our CVICU, including targeted temperature management and quadruple coronary bypass surgery, helped to save her life.

Shannon’s recovery journey continues, but the fact that she is alive and fighting is a powerful reminder that cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, and that everyone should know how to perform bystander CPR.

Mike remembers the day Shannon returned for a visit with her cardiologist, Guarav Parikh, MD. “He sat down, looked closely at her, and said, ‘I can’t believe you’re sitting there. You’re going to be just fine.’”

Katie Sedor had a bubbly personality, was ridiculously funny, self-deprecating; a humble, kind, cherished human, loyal friend, beacon of light, joyful, family-focused, and a lover and guardian of animals ❤

These words were shared by Katie's vast circle of friends and family to describe her at her service in August 2024. Her passing at the young age of 28 profoundly impacted all who knew her. It also touched those she never got to meet - through organ donation, Katie's heart lives on in a young boy, one kidney in a young girl, and the other in a woman.

On January 1, 2026, Katie Sedor will be honored on the OneLegacy Donate Life Rose Parade float, a tribute that celebrates the profound impact of organ donation and the lives saved through her truly selfless generosity.

As part of this honor, we hosted a deeply special ceremony with OneLegacy on December 12th to unveil her completed floragraph, which will be displayed on the float. Alongside family, friends and the firefighters and hospital team who cared for her, Katie's parents shared their journey and hope for Katie's memory and legacy to live on.

For Vannessa Martin, what began as severe headaches and nausea during her pregnancy quickly turned into a life-threatening stroke caused by a brain aneurysm.

At just 14 weeks pregnant, she found herself in our Neuro ICU, facing one of the scariest moments of her life. The compassionate care of ICU nurse Anyssa and the medical team not only helped Vannessa survive but also included careful monitoring of her baby’s heartbeat, providing reassurance and support every step of the way. Their attention to both mother and child gave Vanessa the confidence she needed during her recovery.

Today, Vannessa is thriving as a new mother and has honored the nurse who made such an impact on her life by naming her daughter after her. It’s a powerful reminder of how kindness, expertise, and dedication in healthcare can change lives forever.

Over the past decade, a nonprofit called Health Bridges has helped make health care more equitable by providing vital language support in our emergency department for patients who speak Spanish, Mandarin, Korean and Vietnamese. It has also helped more than 1,000 of our patients enroll in temporary medical coverage through the Hospital Presumptive Eligibility Program.

Health Bridges was founded by former Pomona College student Hongdeng Gao and was inspired by a powerful personal story and a vision that no patient should face barriers to care because of language, income or status.

Hongdeng started the Health Bridges as a pilot program through a grant from the Napier Initiative, a partnership between Pilgrim Place and the five Claremont Colleges to encourage leadership for social change.

We are deeply grateful to Health Bridges, its founders, volunteers, and partners for their decade of service, compassion, and commitment to our patients.

“As we celebrate a decade of working with them, we look forward to many more years of collaboration to improve services for our patients and bearing witness to the positive community impact that Health Bridges continues to make,” said Richard E. Yochum, FACHE, our President/CEO.

At the 2025 Riverside Sheriff’s Department K9 Competition in November, four of our K9 teams proved that they are more than just great dogs, they are exceptional partners for us in healthcare security 🐾

K9 Forest, led by his handler Officer Jaime Hermosillo, quickly sniffed out a hidden explosive odor in a live scenario, keeping everyone safe and doing so in such quick time that he placed 2nd in the "Explosives Detection Building Searches" category 🌟

We are proud of all our K9 teams as they stood paw-to-paw against fellow law enforcement agency K9 teams across the region. Their hard work and dedication are evident in their ongoing presence at our hospital, which encompasses deterring incidents, de-escalation and, of course, providing support by reducing stress and anxiety for our patients, visitors and staff.

Please give a shout out to our K9 teams and rest assured that they are getting special treats for their superb work.
