Scripps Health, and former TV news anchor.
Scripps employee and former TV news anchor Susan Taylor had a life-changing experience when her father, Robert, needed open-heart surgery.
“Dad’s open-heart surgery was very complicated. He was in a coma for two months. Dad had the will to live and that incredible team of Scripps doctors showed him the way. They did everything right and our family is forever grateful,” says Susan.
The experience moved Susan to join Scripps Health, and prompted her family to show their gratitude by donating to Scripps and helping others.
