Exceptional care and dedication from our staff continue to inspire gratitude, creating patients who choose to give back through programs like the Legacy Circle. The Legacy Circle Luncheon is a cherished tradition, and we were honored to bring together MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center and Orange Coast Medical Center to recognize the profound impact our Legacy Circle members are making across both campuses.

Guests in attendance celebrated the newest Legacy Circle members who established their philanthropic commitment and gained insight into the future through presentations from Shela Kaneshiro, CEO, Saddleback Medical Center, and Marcia Manker, CEO, Orange Coast Medical Center. They also heard heartfelt stories from patients whose lives had been saved by our hospitals.

If you or anyone you know is interested in being a part of a legacy of care and wants to include Saddleback as part of their estate plan, please email Michael Crvarich, CPA, executive director of legacy giving for the MemorialCare Orange County Region, or call 949-741-4261.

Her generosity supports the Marilyn V. Adams Geriatric Emergency Program and Marilyn V. Adams Comfort Care Fund, enhancing emergency services for seniors and comfort through hospice and palliative care.

We were joined by Barry Arbuckle, CEO, MemorialCare Health System, and Shela Kaneshiro, CEO, Saddleback Medical Center, as we unveiled the program, raised a toast and celebrated the power of legacy gifts to create lasting impact for patients and families.

You too can honor Marilyn’s vision. Choose Saddleback on and be part of a legacy of care that touches lives for generations.
