The doctor who calms your fears when you rush to the Emergency Department. The therapist who gets you back on your feet. The nurse who holds your hand as you give birth to your first child. Every staff member at Loma Linda University Health shares the same goal — to make you and your loved ones whole again.
When we’re in the hospital, we’re at our most vulnerable. Our caregivers — whether a doctor, nurse, therapist or chaplain — care for us emotionally and spiritually as well as physically. At Loma Linda University Health, that speaks to our mission to treat the whole person.
The premier medical organization in the region, Loma Linda University Health depends on the support of former patients and their families who received the best, most compassionate care possible. We also know that patients sometimes bond with their caregivers. That’s why we created Healing Hands, a grateful patient program where you can make a gift to Loma Linda University Health and honor a physician or staff member who helped make your stay easier.
“The care I experienced from everyone at LLUH was incredible. Even in their attention to the little details… I can't even describe how great of an experience I had.”
"Healing Hands" is Loma Linda University Health's grateful patient program, created to connect with patients who want to be a part of what we do by giving back philanthropically to the organization. Gifts may be of any amount, directed to any area, and in honor of physician, staff member or volunteer.
Patients and their family members or friends may donate in honor of any healthcare provider, support staff member or volunteer who has positively impacted their experience. For non-caregiver tribute gifts (celebration or ;memorial gifts), visit the LLUH Giving site (About Us - Giving | Loma Linda University Health (lluh.org) and click the "Give Now" button in the upper right corner.
Attending and resident physicians, nursing and support staff, therapists, chaplains, volunteers, students on clinical rotations... anyone at Loma Linda University Health who has positively impacted a patient's experience.

Yes, they will! First time honorees are given a special silver lapel pin to wear proudly.
