Keep Carl Dameron Alive

‘Keep Carl Alive.’ These three words guided IEHP member Carl Dameron through a journey of resilience—overcoming diabetes, leukemia, lymphoma, and the heartbreaking murder of his son.

With the care of his doctors, the support of IEHP, LaSalle Medical Associates, Loma Linda University Medical Center, and his own determination to be there for his daughters, Carl persevered in fulfilling a cherished dream: walking his youngest down the aisle. In November 2023, that dream came true.

As we approach the new year, Carl’s story is a powerful reminder to prioritize our health, cherish the moments that matter, and be there for the ones we love. “IEHP is committed to providing compassionate care that makes a difference—because when you feel cared for, it’s the greatest gift of all,” said Michelle Rai, IEHP’s Chief Communications & Marketing Officer.
