Hospital officials to discuss contributions

Morre Dean, chief executive of Glendale Adventist Medical Center, is scheduled to appear live Thursday on “The Larry Zarian Show” to discuss the hospital’s contributions to the area.

The hospital is in the process of finishing a new tower and has been a major player in stroke and cancer medical care. Kim Milstein, vice president of business development for Glendale Adventist, is also scheduled to appear on the show.

The hospital has also spent millions on earthquake safety retrofits to meet state deadlines, and is one of the few certified stroke centers in the region.

The show airs at 7 p.m. on Charter Cable channel 380. The viewer call-in number is (818) 547-3668.
