Loma Linda Medical Center's Noise Reduction Plan to Help Healing

A new noise reduction initiative has been started at Loma Linda University Medical Center called “Quietly Healing.”

Noise is inevitable in hospitals. Studies show, however, that noise reduction is linked with increased healing and recovery and can decrease a patient’s length of stay.

Soon, you will see posters throughout the medical center, including patient care areas, highlighting the “Quietly Healing” initiative. We want to publicize our aim of reducing noise levels not only internally, but also to our visitors.

Time is running out on your chance to help the kids at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital and win a brand new luxury car.

Only 1,400 opportunity tickets at $100 apiece will be sold for the opportunity drawing to be held at 2 p.m. Aug. 19, benefiting Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. The drawing will be held at Walter’s Automotive Group in Riverside.

The grand prize winner will have their choice of a 2012 Audi A5, Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLK350, Mercedes-Benz C300, Porsche Boxster, two Smart Cars, or a Sprinter Commercial Van.

Other prizes include a lady’s white gold diamond bracelet valued at $2,500, provided by K. Norris Jewelers; a 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Weekend VIP Package, provided by Auto Club Speedway; and a men’s Mercedes-Benz watch, valued at $450, provided by Water’s Mercedes-Benz.

Aside from the chance of receiving awesome prizes, ticket buyers will know that, whether they receive a prize or not, they have made a wonderful contribution to help out the thousands of kids seeking treatment at the Children’s Hospital.
