Million!

At the conclusion of 2008’s seventh annual N.C. Children’s Promise Radiothon/Telethon, the Talecris Biotherapeutics total board displayed a recordbreaking $1,000,000+ in undesignated gifts donated by corporations and individuals like you in support of N.C. Children’s Hospital. Seeing a seven-digit fundraising total was a humbling experience, made all the more poignant by the financial hardships that many currently face. It showed me that North Carolinians can and are willing to dig deep to support an institution that cares for the state's most critically ill and injured children, regardless of a family’s ability to pay. And perhaps never before has the need for support been greater. While much of the health care system has lost occupancy in the economic downturn, demand for inpatient beds at N.C. Children’s Hospital hasn’t waned. We remain, as always, at nearly 100 percent capacity, doing our best to balance needed admissions with available discharges. And still, there is a wait list. Outpatient services are similarly taxed, with demand outstripping resources in the face of a nationwide shortage of pediatric subspecialists. As I’ve commented in the past, North Carolina is hit particularly hard with 75 percent fewer pediatric subspecialists per child than the national average. Fewer subspecialists mean longer waits for kids with highly specialized health needs and an over-burdened system for their families to navigate. We remain focused on developing creative solutions for building capacity and doing more with less.

With rising uncompensated care costs and looming budget cuts, your generosity means more than ever. Your contributions help us provide programs, services and equipment that in all likelihood wouldn’t exist without your commitment to our cause. A summer day camp for kids with hemiplegia. Toy kits to comfort and distract children during emergency procedures. A video laryngoscope for endotracheal intubation of children with small or anomalous airways. These are just a few examples of how your dollars helped bridge the gap between clinical revenues and the needs of our patients and their families last year and assisted us in making the hospital experience as child- and family-friendly as possible. On behalf of our faculty and staff, thank you again for your support of N.C. Children’s Hospital. And please, join us once again on Thursday, November 19, 2009, for the eighth annual N.C. Children’s Promise Radiothon/Telethon. With your continued friendship, I hope we will see another seven-digit fundraising total and have a million more reasons to celebrate. In gratitude,

Alan D. Stiles, MD Chairman, Department of Pediatrics Physician in Chief, N.C. Children's Hospital

2EMEMBERING

Chloe A

lock of hair. A tiny hand or footprint molded in clay. Every parent treasures mementos from their child’s first days. But imagine for a moment how much more precious and priceless those keepsakes would be if you lost your child.

e’s ith hold baby Chlo Ann and Chris Sm after her birth. tiny hand shortly

Ann and Chris Smith know first-hand the all-encompassing grief that comes with the passing of an infant. The Smiths lost their first child, a beloved daughter they named Chloe Madison, shortly after her birth in 2002. They had learned 14 weeks earlier that Chloe suffered from anencephaly, a rare birth defect that would prevent her brain from forming. If Chloe wasn’t stillborn, the doctors said, she wouldn’t survive long after birth.

The Smiths refused to terminate the pregnancy. Instead, they concentrated on making most of the time they had with Chloe. They “visited” with her via ultrasound every two weeks. They developed a birth plan and wish list of things they wanted to experience with Chloe if given an opportunity: simple things like a first bath and getting to dress her. Pregnancy complications forced Ann’s doctor to induce labor at 32 weeks, but Chloe was born alive at 12:29 a.m. on June 14, 2002. “Everything I had done was for that moment,” recalls Ann Smith. “I held her. I saw her heart beating. She was alive, if just for 10 minutes. And I knew there would be a reason for her life and her death.” Those reasons continue to manifest themselves in ways great and small. Ann and Chris Smith and the Eddie and Jo Allison Smith Family Foundation honor Chloe’s memory by supporting programs for bereaved families in the Newborn Critical Care Center. Bereavement kits enable parents to capture memories of their child—that lock of hair, that tiny hand or footprint molded in clay. Further, an endowment established in Chloe’s name funds educational resources for caregivers involved in palliative care throughout the Children’s Hospital.

e believe that caring for our friends, neighbors and families is what creates a sense of community, and Kohl’s is proud to play a positive role in each community we serve,” says Kohl’s Chairman, Larry Montgomery. N.C. Children’s Hospital has been a proud beneficiary of Kohl’s commitment to community since 2005, when Kohl’s chose the Children’s Hospital for a hospital partnership as part of its Kohl’s Cares for Kids® program. How does the program work? For just $5, Kohl’s customers can purchase special Kohl’s Cares for Kids merchandise. Items consist of popular children’s books and related plush toys. Kohl’s uses 100 percent of the net profits from the sale of these items to support children’s programs in local communities from coast to coast. Since the program’s inception in 2000, Kohl’s has turned $5 books and stuffed animals into more than $126 million for children’s initiatives nationwide while providing millions of inexpensive books to young readers. N.C. Children’s Hospital has received close to half a million dollars in grants from the Kohl’s Cares for Kids program in the past four years, in addition to countless books and stuffed toys as gifts for patients. Grant funds have supported parent and caregiver education programs and related projects within the Children’s Hospital, the most recent of which was the launch of the Kohl’s Online Health Resource Center, available via the Children’s Hospital’s Web site. The online interface—found at www.ncchildrenshospital.org/kohls—is a treasure trove of children’s health information. There are more than 12,000 topics in all, including health tips, healthy recipes, health quizzes, articles, health risk calculators and even videos. It’s a comprehensive resource for caregivers, from those looking for answers to everyday health questions to those researching specific medical conditions or procedures.

4om and Lisa Hazen have been staunch supporters of N.C. Children’s Hospital since before the doors of the new

Children’s Hospital opened in 2002. As the new facility took shape with nearly endless possibilities, the Hazens considered the myriad ways they could make their mark. Purchasing a flashy piece of high-tech equipment? Funding an innovative research endeavor? So many worthy options to consider, but none truly resonated with the Hazens until they found inspiration in their deep love of family and considered the softer side of medicine. “No parent wants to have a child in the hospital, especially not with a condition serious enough to land them at N.C. Children’s Hospital,” says Lisa Hazen. “We thought to ourselves, ‘How can we make the experience easier for families? What resources do these families need?’”

Through their personal generosity and their relationship with the Charles H. Goren Foundation, the Hazens ultimately funded parent resource centers throughout the Children’s Hospital. The resource rooms provide quiet, comfortable places with computers and Internet access, so parents can research their children’s conditions and provide from-the-hospital updates to family and friends. The Hazens also funded the Children’s Hospital’s Music Room, a place where kids can explore music therapy as a means of coping and healing. As N.C. Children’s Hospital has grown and transformed in its new space, so has the Hazen family’s support of the hospital’s ever-changing needs. When the Children’s Hospital launched its family-centered care initiative, the Hazens were at the front of the line to help. Their three-year pledge funded the first full-time Family Support Coordinator, focused on the Newborn Critical Care Center, and an expansion of the program hospital-wide in 2009.

. # Ăž#HILDRENfSĂž(OSPITAL OPENSĂž7AKEĂž#OUNTYĂžCLINIC WITHĂžTHEĂžSUPPORTĂžOFĂžAĂž THREE YEARĂžGRANTĂžFROMĂžTHE *OHNĂž2EXĂž%NDOWMENT Since first being established in 2001, the John Rex Endowment has funded nearly 100 projects to promote healthy behavior and improve children’s access to quality health care in Wake County. One such project was the opening of N.C. Children's Hospital’s new outpatient clinic in Raleigh last fall: the N.C. Children’s Specialty Clinic. “North Carolina’s ratio of pediatric subspecialists to child is just 25 percent of the national average,â€? comments Dr. Alan Stiles, chief physician at N.C. Children’s Hospital and chair of pediatrics at the UNC School of Medicine. “The shortage causes delays of weeks, sometimes months, in appointment times. We’re forced to look for ever more creative ways to increase capacity and best leverage our limited resources.â€? The N.C. Children’s Specialty Clinic—which opened on the Rex Healthcare campus in November 2008 after more than three years of planning—is N.C. Children’s Hospital’s latest solution aimed at expanding access to pediatric specialty care in North Carolina. The multidisciplinary referral center for children with highly-complex, specialized health needs offers services in more than a half dozen pediatric subspecialties. It is equipped with Wake County’s only pediatric pulmonary function test lab. And as an extension of the Children’s Hospital’s outpatient clinic in Chapel Hill, its 17 exam rooms and three procedure rooms expand the Children’s Hospital’s outpatient capacity by 50 percent. “By supporting improved access to care locally and enabling more families to receive specialty care within Wake County, the new resource has a ripple effect on capacity issues in outlying areas,â€? says Kevin Cain, president and CEO of the Rex Endowment. That ripple effect is already being felt, says Stiles. “Not only are thousands of kids in Wake and surrounding counties able to receive specialty care closer to home, thousands more across the state are benefiting from the added outpatient capacity at both locations,â€? he adds. “Anything we can do to expedite the care and treatment of children who need it is a step in the right direction.â€?

!sk Michele and Bill Sollecito and they’ll tell you, it’s not the bricks and mortar that make N.C. Children's Hospital. It’s the people—more than 1,000 talented, dedicated and compassionate doctors, nurses and other clinical and ancillary staff—that define N.C. Children’s Hospital as a national leader in children’s health care. People like Dr. Stuart Gold. Gold heads up the division of pediatric hematology-oncology. Treating kids with cancer and blood disorders is a job he takes very seriously, but if you see him with a patient, don’t be surprised if he’s got straws sticking out of his nose and talking about the “boogies” he ate for breakfast. He’ll do almost anything to get a giggle, and with Dr. Gold, fun and laughter are always part of the treatment regimen. “I am a 3-year-old at heart, so that’s just natural for me,” says Gold about his infamous bedside manner. But it’s more than his bedside manner that has made Gold one of the Children’s Hospital’s most beloved doctors. It’s his devotion to his current and former patients, or “his kids,” as he calls them—one of whom happens to be the Sollecitos’ daughter, Rosalinda, who, thanks to Dr. Gold and his team, battled leukemia and won. “Our 23-year-old daughter is a cancer survivor today because of Dr. Gold and the other faculty and staff in the pediatric hematology-oncology group,” says Bill Sollecito. “In fact, they ‘treated’ the whole family as we all went through this traumatic time in our lives. They provided a network of support that included nurses and social workers as well as doctors, all led by Dr. Gold. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Gold and his team.”

Long-time C hildren’s Hos pital supporte Bill and Mich rs ele Sollecito en joy the Chap Pinwheels an el Hill d Promises L uncheon held in Octob er 2007.

As a tribute to the man they credit with saving their daughter’s life, the Sollecitos started the Dr. Stuart Gold Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Distinguished Professorship. The endowed professorship will enable Gold and his colleagues to pursue the most promising avenues of medical discovery by augmenting support for vital educational, patient care and research efforts. The goal is to raise $2 million to fund the professorship. Thanks to the Sollecitos’ initial seed money and the contributions of more than a dozen others since, the N.C. Children’s Promise has just over $100,000 more to raise before it can apply for a state match of $667,000.

“We not only wanted to show our appreciation for what was done for our family but also ensure that other families continue to receive this type of total family care in the future,” adds Sollecito. “It is our way of giving back to the University and to a community that has given us so much in so many ways over the years.”
