Kim Plale has worked at East Campus Medical Center at UC San Diego Health since 2007, back when it was under previous ownership. She's worked through multiple transitions over the years and watched the campus grow from community hospital to the third hospital in the UC San Diego Health network.
Known by colleagues for her dedication, positivity and unwavering support behind the scenes, Kim has spent nearly two decades helping care teams deliver for patients every single day. And outside of work? She’s been just as devoted to the Padres, a lifelong fan who has proudly cheered on the Friars for decades.
So when she stepped onto the field at Petco Park to throw out the ceremonial first pitch as part of the Health Care Home Runs program, it was more than a baseball moment, it was a celebration of someone who has helped shape the heart of a growing health system and community.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) at UC San Diego Health is a noninvasive, FDA‑approved treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation, without medication or sedation. TMS may help adults with treatment‑resistant depression, especially when antidepressants and talk therapy haven’t worked.
As San Diego’s leading TMS provider, UC San Diego Health offers personalized treatment plans, advanced technologies and expert psychiatric care to help patients find relief and move forward.

Video description: A group of UC San Diego Health team members in Padres jerseys waving excitedly and showing foam fingers that read “UC San Diego Health and Padres.” Shots of Petco Park follow, capturing the energy of Nurses Night as guests play lawn games, grab classic ballpark food and drinks and take photos throughout the stadium. The jumbotron lights up with “UC San Diego Health” before a young girl appears on screen and enthusiastically says, “play ball!” A woman steps onto the field holding a baseball and throws it for the ceremonial first pitch. The moment continues with a group of nurses being honored on the field during pregame highlights, ending with fans coming together and cheering, “Go Padres!”

Video description: A compilation of UC San Diego Health nurses sharing candid “nurse truths.” The video opens with a nurse seated on a chair, pulling snacks from their scrubs, followed by nurses holding everyday tools like alcohol swab packets. Individual nurses speak inside and outside the hospital, intercut with moments of nurses together — hugging, connecting and supporting one another.
It looks like a little girl ringing a transplant bell, and the woman who made it possible watching nearby.
Born with a rare genetic disorder, Ailani spent her early years fighting to survive. Then an anonymous living donor made a selfless choice, giving part of her liver to a child she had never met. Months later, that gift brought two families together in a moment that says everything about compassion, connection, and second chances.
Watch how one decision changed a life forever.

Video description:
A little girl walks through hospital hallways, surrounded by signs, pom poms and cheering staff as she rings the transplant bell. Her parents thank hospital workers outside, holding a box that carried the organ that saved their daughter’s life.
Moments from the journey unfold: recovery after surgery, quiet time in a hospital bed and the long road to healing. Photo collages show reunions, celebrations and the bond formed between two families through one selfless gift. The girl rings the bell again, marking hope, gratitude and a future made possible by compassion.
Vanessa Mulsow, LCSW, CCTSW, abdominal transplant social work supervisor, takes us behind the scenes of the Center for Transplantation at UC San Diego Health, where she supports patients navigating one of the most life‑changing journeys they’ll ever take.
At UC San Diego Health, our transplant social workers are embedded across organ programs, partnering closely with the care team to support patients before, during and after transplant. From connecting patients to vital resources to helping them build realistic, sustainable plans for life after transplant, their work goes far beyond the operating room.

Video description: A woman prepares for the day at home, packing children’s lunches, helping a child get dressed, pouring coffee, and leaving the house. The day continues with her driving to work, followed by walking inside a hospital with exterior and interior signage, busy hallways, and patient care areas. She speaks with members of a medical care team, uses a phone, works at a computer while walking on a treadmill desk, and selects a book from a staff library. She returns to the home setting, showing her driving children to after‑school activities, helping them get ready for bed, and tidying up. The day ends with her sitting in bed, reading on an e‑reader, and turning off the light.
