Each year, young patients at Mattel Children’s Hospital <strong>UCLA</strong> donate their drawings to<br />

be chosen for holiday cards. The bright colors, fanciful figures and imaginative settings<br />

illustrate the hope and joy that fills childhood. In addition, a<br />

special Barbie card is offered. Proceeds will support special<br />

programs for hospitalized children.<br />

To order a package of 12 cards for $20, you may place your<br />

order at www.uclahealth.org/mattel<br />

Celebrating Special Care<br />

Breast Cancer Patients Enjoy<br />

a Day of Pampering<br />

The Revlon/<strong>UCLA</strong> Breast Center was transformed from<br />

a clinic to a gorgeous spa last month when it opened<br />

its doors to 30 invited breast cancer patients for a day of<br />

pampering and beauty.<br />

Patients listened to soothing background music while<br />

enjoying massages, facials and paraffin treatments atop exam<br />

tables draped in pink. Guests were encouraged to perch on<br />

director chairs in the reception area for professional<br />

makeovers. In between treatments, <strong>UCLA</strong> plastic surgeon Dr.<br />

Andrew Dalio, nutritionist Karen Duval and physical therapist<br />

Cathie Tarte all presented information useful to the guests.<br />

Sherry Goldman, RN, nurse pracitioner at the Revlon/<strong>UCLA</strong><br />

Breast Center and breast cancer survivor, opened the day by<br />

telling the women, “We are NOT our breasts, we are women who<br />

go on with our lives once diagnosed with breast cancer. Today is<br />

a celebration of YOU. We want to pamper you, feed you and<br />

educate you.” For a heartwarming glimpse of the special day,<br />

please see the video at: http://streaming.uclahealth.org/spa<br />

All of the participants ranked this experience as one of the<br />

most note worthy in their lives.<br />
