An academic medical center, Loma Linda University Health recently received multiple distinctions from The Leapfrog Group Awards. First, its Medical Center and East Campus hospital facilities earned "A" Safety Grades for quality and patient safety for fall 2020. Additionally, the East Campus hospital achieved the title of a Top Teaching Hospital, which is shared with only one other teaching medical center in the state of California. Between the two hospitals, more than 6,500 medical professionals and support staff assist in hospital operations.

The Leapfrog Group is dedicated to monitoring hospital quality in the U.S., and it releases its Safety Grades twice annually. To determine the fall 2020 grades, the organization’s team of healthcare service purchasers and employers assessed the quality of patient care, such as maintaining low medication errors, at more than 2,600 hospitals across the nation.

​As the head of the UCR Group in Redlands, California, Stephen Reeder manages a company that has built around 10,000 multi-family residential facilities. As part of his charitable giving, Stephen Reeder donates to Loma Linda Hospital, also located in California. The hospital is part of Loma Linda University, a faith-based institution with around 4,400 students, founded in 1905.

A recent research paper out of Loma Linda University confirmed earlier findings that eating walnuts reduces the chances of older adults contracting cardiovascular disease. Participants in this study experienced up to an 11.5 percent decrease in six out of 10 indicators for blood inflammation.

Sujartha Rajaram, a nutrition professor at the university, noted that walnuts are good both for preventing and controlling heart disease. Adding them to one’s daily diet is a simple change, whether they are consumed raw, mixed into smoothies, or placed in cereal or salads. Walnuts may also benefit the cardiovascular systems of younger people.

The project was sponsored by Loma Linda University’s School of Public Health and the Lipid Clinic at the University of Barcelona, Spain. Results were published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
