Fritz Coleman, whose name 
and image are practically 
synonymous with Los 
Angeles weather-casting, 
will perform at Pasadena’s 
legendary Ice House 
Comedy Club on August 12.

 A portion of the event’s 
proceeds will benefit Union 
Station Homeless Services, 
the San Gabriel Valley for 
over 45 years.

 “We are beyond grateful for 
Fritz and his long established 
support of the work that is 
happening here at Union 
Station Homeless Services,” 
says Anne Miskey, Chief 
Executive Officer of Union 
Station. “The community 
support and awareness Fritz 
generates through laughter 
is unique and it enables us 
to engage more effectively 
with members of our 
communities.”

 With a noteworthy 35-
year career as NBC4’s 
weatherman, Coleman has 
found equal success as a 
stand-up comedian, with 
four Emmy wins for his 
comedy specials. Coleman’s 
stand-up routine, “Defying 
Gravity”, is a hilarious look 
at the comical calamities of 
aging. “The show presents 
an hour-and-a-half of 
laughing hard and reflecting 
on what it’s like getting 
older. It’s really a lot of fun 
to recognize our shared 
experiences,” Coleman said. 
“Getting old isn’t pretty, but 
it sure is funny.”

 Tickets range from $15 to 
$22 and can be purchased by 
visiting bit.ly/fritzcomedy or 
by calling (626) 577-1894.

USHS812 at checkout.

 


 As part of its non-profit 
mission, Huntington 
Hospital provides significant 
benefits to the communities 
it serves, often in the form 
of free and part-pay hospital 
care for the uninsured and 
those with limited means. 
2017 marked a historic 
milestone - Huntington 
Hospital’s 125 year of 
serving the community 
- and during the year, 
the hospital provided a 
record-breaking total of 
an estimated $129,780,381 
worth of health care services 
and support to residents of 
the San Gabriel Valley and 
beyond.

 Lori Morgan, MD, MBA, 
president and CEO, 
Huntington Hospital said 
“As a non-profit hospital, 
providing care to our 
community and creating 
community wellness has 
been essential to our 
mission for the last century. 
Our ongoing community 
partnerships and support 
will enable us to continue 
this focus well into the 
future.”

 These community benefits 
include charity care for 
those patients unable to 
pay, as well as care expenses 
underwritten by the hospital 
that reflect the differences 
between the actual cost of 
the care and the amount of 
money received for patients 
covered by Medicare and/or 
Medi-Cal.

 Community benefits 
support research, education, 
and training, including 
clinical research, graduate 
medical education 
programs, scholarships, 
and continuing education 
in nursing and many other 
disciplines as well as benefits 
directed at the community-
at-large, such as seniors, 
other vulnerable populations 
or the underserved, and 
those suffering from specific 
diseases (such as heart 
failure).

 In 2017, Huntington 
Hospital provided:

Health screening and 
counseling to 1,962 people,

Over 2,045 free flu shots to 
members of the community,

Weekly breastfeeding 
support groups to 3,500 
mothers,

Senior Care Network 
Resource Center support 
and referrals benefiting 
5,000 callers/walk-ins,

75,680 visits to Huntington 
Hospital’s Emergency and 
Trauma Center,

24-hour transportation 
assistance to 1,053 people 
to help patients overcome 
transportation-related 
barriers to care, and;

‘Stop the Bleed’ training 
to 42 local school nurses 
and 29 local employees 
to help provide tools and 
knowledge on how to stop 
life-threatening bleeding for 
injuries at school or in the 
workplace.

These benefits, and many 
more, are described in detail 
in an annual Community 
Benefits Report submitted 
to the state each May. To 
read the complete 2017 
Community Benefits Report,

Timothy (A460760) is a 
3-year-old pit bull, found 
as a stray in Arcadia. We 
perfectly captured his 
personality in this photo. He 
is always smiling, greeting 
visitors at the door and 
wanting to be pet. Volunteers 
who have taken him to the 
training yard say he likes to 
play fetch, likes treats, and 
knows his “sit,” and “shake.” 
Come meet Timothy today 
at the Pasadena Humane 
Society. 

 The adoption fee for dogs is 
$130. All dogs are spayed or 
neutered, microchipped, and 
vaccinated before going to

complimentary health-and-
wellness exam from VCA 
Animal Hospitals, as well 
as a goody bag filled with 
information about how to
