Half past nine Thursday evening\u2013 after a full work day, a visit to the ANCA WR<\/a> Open House and a restaurant\u2019s soft opening, Mike Sarian looks slightly tired. As he pulls up a chair to join me and ANCA WR Annual Gala Banquet Committee Chair Arsho Beylerian for a post meeting \u201cmeeting\u201d, he unbuttons his collar, loosens his tie and takes his suit jacket off as he sinks into his seat.<\/p>\n

But he is far from worn out. Mike Sarian, President of Prime Healthcare Services has hospitals on his mind and even more charities to support.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for joining me ladies. It\u2019s been a long (deep breath) but productive day,\u201d is the first thing he says as he eyeballs the wine list and rolls up his sleeves.<\/p>\n

Michael Sarian has humbly offered to serve as the 2014 ANCA WR Gala Banquet Sponsor. Offered is not a fitting word\u2014perhaps generously extended his support better describes his willingness to take on such a noble responsibility. Inspired by last year\u2019s banquet, Sarian approached Advisory Board Member Harut Sassounian and asked how he too can contribute to the success of the ANCA WR.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a limited budget, you (the ANCA WR) produce incredible results,\u201d said Sarian. \u201cThe banquet brings together activists, supporters, elected officials and policy makers from all over the Western Region to showcase the advancement of our Cause and the strength of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarian has over 25 years of executive management experience in the healthcare arena which includes his current role as President of a nationwide hospital company with more than 30,000 employees and over 30 facilities spanning throughout eight states. Concurrently, he dedicates countless volunteer hours as an Executive Board Member of the California Hospital Association setting up healthcare policies and advocating on behalf of all California hospitals. He is also a Board Member of the Venice Family Clinic which helps poor and homeless patients and an active volunteer and supporter of the American Cancer Society and Armenian Bone Marrow Association. Just last year, he helped donate medical equipment in excess of $2 million to hospitals in Armenia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe in the Armenian Cause. We are right and we will succeed!\u201d said Sarian. \u201cThis is how I\u2019ve grown up. I want to stay active despite my heavy work schedule. We have to work smart now and keep our expectations high or else the future generations won\u2019t even talk about it!\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked the simple question\u2014\u201cWhy the ANCA WR?\u201d Sarian replies. \u201cYou have an organization comprised of capable and passionate volunteers working for a just cause. I like the efficient way the organization runs and the resourceful, competent and professional volunteers and staff running it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarian is not only contributing financially, but using his contacts and resources to advance the efforts of the ANCA WR. As he modestly shares details about his career growth and contacts he\u2019s made over the years, his phone vibrates. \u201cPardon me, ladies. I have to take this call. It\u2019s ANCA related.\u201d With 13% battery life, he exchanges short greetings and gets down to business. I don\u2019t know who the caller is but from Sarian\u2019s exchange and facial expressions, I deduce that the caller is a who\u2019s who in politics. He conveys his message politely but forcefully\u2014asking the caller to advance and support a pending federal resolution near and dear to his heart\u2014the return of Armenian churches.<\/p>\n

Out of curiosity I ask, \u201cDid you always see yourself on the business side of medicine?\u201d Mike smiles but remains silent. Half joking, half serious, I test the waters again. \u201cDon\u2019t tell me you aspired to be an astronaut in your early years!\u201d Mike laughs a big, rooted, genuine laugh. Not loud but ample. \u201cActually, I\u2019m scared of flying,\u201d he confesses. \u201cTo answer your initial question, I vividly remember Secretary of State Henry Kissinger going around the world helping people and shaping international policy. So I guess I was leaning more towards politics and diplomacy in those days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Sarian does it all\u2014from motivating and leading management to securing investors to turning distressed hospitals into profitable ones to shaping health care reform to helping the Armenian Cause.<\/p>\n

As the wine service continues, the questions advance. Sarian and Beylerian share stories dating back 20 years to school and church volunteer committees, business contacts and old friends. Without thinking, I pick up his iPhone when I spot a familiar icon. It\u2019s not the typical Merrill Lynch, Wall Street Journal or Barron\u2019s apps. It\u2019s ABCs, Disney and Subway Surfer. \u201cWho\u2019s downloading these apps on your iPhone?\u201d I ask with intense curiosity.<\/p>\n

Sarian smiles the widest smile I\u2019ve seen all night as he pulls up a photograph of his 4-year-old daughter\u2014a beautiful girl with sun-streaked golden locks and honey colored eyes. With a heavy heart, he reveals the tough years he\u2019s endured with the loss of his wife of ten years, Souzan, to cancer. With the help of his mother and family, he is raising their daughter. He smiles again when he talks about Souzan and her accomplishments and achievements\u2013from higher education to her career to her volunteer efforts with orphanages in Armenia and Canada.<\/p>\n

The waiter pours the last of the wine and Sarian raises his glass for a toast\u2014to family and friends, health and a successful ANCA WR Banquet!<\/p>\n
