Former Methodist Hospital Chief of Staff James Y. Lin, MD, will be honored at the 19th Annual Mardi Gras 6-10 p.m. Tuesday, March 4, at Sirona’s, Santa Anita Park.
Recognized for his longtime support of Methodist Hospital and the outstanding clinical care he has provided to thousands of patients, Dr. Lin will reign as king over the event, with proceeds going to support the hospital’s highly successful cancer program.
“I feel extremely honored, considering all the fine people who have served as king before me,” Dr. Lin said of the honor. “I want to continue helping the foundation raise funds for the cancer program, which is one of the clinical areas the hospital strives diligently to expand and strengthen. It’s a great thrill to be honored by an event I have supported for many, many years.”

For the second time in a row, event co-chairs are Sherry Wang, a Methodist Hospital Foundation board member and two-time chair; longtime hospital supporter Patty Soldo, who also chaired for the second time; and four-time chair/co-chair Lindburgh McPherson.
.Through the years Dr. Lin has served as chief of staff at Methodist Hospital in 2013 and chair of the Medicine Department in 2006. He also has served on the hospital foundation board since 2006 and co-chaired the physician capital campaign that raised an estimated $2 million in support of the North Tower. He has served on several foundation committees, including the Crystal Ball, Mardi Gras and Asian Outreach committees. The Lin family has graciously supported the hospital and Mardi Gras for years.
The 80z All Stars, a California 1980s tribute band, will provide lively music for dancing and entertainment. Other fun activities will include a Mardi Gras parade, silent auction, dancing and mouth-watering food prepared by more than 30 of the area’s most successful restaurants.
Dr. Lin hopes this year’s event will provide a huge boost to the hospital’s growing cancer program. “We’ve always had a strong cancer program, and the community definitely wants it to remain an integral part of the hospital’s litany of services,”
Dr. Lin said. “It’s important that we remain competitive and on the cutting edge, and Mardi Gras helps us do just that.”
Tickets are $100 each. To reserve yours, contact the foundation at 626-898-8888 or mardigras@methodisthospital.org.
