It turned out he had been shot twice, and things looked grim. But he was incredibly lucky. Griselda and Patty knew exactly what to do. They worked together seamlessly, side by side, to control his bleeding and keep him awake until the ambulance arrived. Thanks to their quick thinking and dedication, he survived. #EverydayHeroes #KPPanoramaCity

We loved bringing our members and community together at our Santa Clarita Medical Offices for an engaging Love Your Liver Workshop centered on education, movement, and connection.

Led by Ruth Rosen, MD, Madhu Hardasmalani, MD, and Andy Gallardo, the workshop explored the science of liver health and detoxification, shared patient stories, and offered practical lifestyle tips on nutrition, movement, exercise, rest, circadian rhythm, and reducing toxic burden.

The session concluded with a recitation of “Renovación,” a Spanish poem by our resident poet Carmen Ferrero, who also showcased her original artwork. It was a meaningful day of learning, creativity, and community. 💙 #KPPanoramaCity #CommunityHealth #PreventiveCare

To celebrate #NationalVolunteerWeek, we’re highlighting the work of Marie Ashmore, a Kaiser Permanente South Bay volunteer who creates memory bears from garments belonging to loved ones who have passed.

Marie presented a memory bear to fellow volunteer Rose Sarner, who has served at Kaiser Permanente South Bay for more than 27 years and recently lost her husband.

In addition to the bears, Marie uses leftover fabric to create small hearts that carry special meaning. Inspired by the belief that “hearts are connected by an invisible string,” she ties two hearts together with a ribbon and includes them as gifts for additional family members.

Happy National Volunteer Week! #KPSouthBay
