Easing Patient’s Pain
Arnold Porath has contributed $250,000 to establish the Arnold Porath From the Heart Fund in UCLA Health Palliative Care, which treats patients who have serious, chronic conditions with specialized care focused on relieving the pain, symptoms and stresses of an advanced illness. The team partners with patients, their loved ones and their medical team from diagnosis to end of life.
Provided in the hospital, at outpatient care facilities or in the home, UCLA Health Palliative Care integrates physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being, and is available for a range of illnesses, such as cancer, dementia, heart disease and Parkinson’s disease.
“I am honored to partner with UCLA’s excellent palliative care team, including Drs. Daniel Karlin (MD ’12, RES ’16), Christopher J. Pietras and Emily Martin, to play an important role in enhancing holistic care and treatment opportunities for critically ill UCLA patients, and providing assistance to the families when the need arises,” said Porath. Philanthropic gifts help the team build the program’s capacity to serve more patients, implement new programs, offer bereavement support and perform compassionate gestures, such as providing a special meal or thoughtful gift, that ease suffering and improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
