BC Children’s Hospital Foundation 2008 / 2009 Annual Report
room to grow Childhood is about growth – physical, emotional, intellectual, experiential. It’s our job, at BC Children’s Hospital and Foundation, Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children, and the Child & Family Research Institute, to provide vital research, rehabilitation and medical services to help children in need.
Of course, children aren’t the only ones experiencing change. Just as we give them the chance to learn, we learn from them. Our research into childhood illness yields better ways to heal and an ability to combat diseases that not so long ago claimed children’s lives. We’ve seen an explosion in medical knowledge in recent years, and the implications for the practice of pediatric medicine are immense. Today, we must support the growth of our children by providing annual funding for research, equipment and education, and through the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital. Together we can give BC’s children the room they need to heal, to grow, and to live.
Amélie Andres Throughout three-year-old Amélie Andres’ life, she has visited almost every area of BC Children’s Hospital, from the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and Emergency Department, to the Respiratory and Hematology Departments, and the Children’s Heart Centre. BC Children’s Hospital is the only place in the province where Amélie can receive the specialized care she needs under one roof. Her conditions include five heart defects, asthma, a minor hearing impairment, and several bouts with pneumonia. As Amélie recovers and grows she will continue to visit Children’s for regular checkups and further surgeries to replace her transplanted bovine heart valve. Her family is hopeful that advances in medicine and the $25-million gift from her dad’s employer, Teck Resources Limited, will smooth the way for Amélie and other children in the future.

Lindsey Lourenco Rather than having beautiful photos and souvenirs to show for their Portugal trip in 2007, the Lourenco family has memories of a horrifying experience. Lindsey Lourenco, then 13, was exhausted during the trip and lost about 11 kilograms in a matter of days. Learning that his daughter had leukemia, Lindsey’s father Tony insisted on bringing his daughter back to the place he trusts the most – BC Children’s Hospital. Lindsey’s treatment started the moment she arrived home and she spent her first three weeks at Children’s in an isolation room. After several months of grueling chemotherapy, the teenager finally showed signs of improvement. Today Lindsey is becoming more active and continues to receive treatment at the Hospital once a month. Tony believes his decision to bring his daughter home to BC Children’s for treatment was one of the best he’s ever made.

Miguel Catarata With his bright smile and dashing good looks, Miguel Catarata can melt the heart of anyone he encounters. In recent years, he’s been charming the caregivers at BC Children’s Hospital, where he and his mom Sally are frequent visitors. When Miguel was 18 months old, he collapsed and was flown to Children’s Hospital from Port Hardy. His pulmonary artery was wrapped around his trachea, restricting his breathing, and he required emergency surgery. Doctors have operated on Miguel countless times since then, inserting stents, or metal tubes, to hold his trachea open and help him breathe. Nevertheless, he still requires surgery at the Hospital every few weeks to open his airway. Sally does her best to help Miguel live as normal a life as possible. She cannot say enough about the amazing caregivers at Children’s Hospital, who save Miguel’s life on a regular basis.

Sahil Deo Sharlene and Sanil Deo still get emotional when they think back to the 12-hour days they spent with their son Sahil in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at BC Children’s Hospital. Born prematurely at 26 weeks and weighing just under a kilogram, Sahil spent over five months at the Hospital before he was able to go home. Today Sahil only has minor delays in his growth and is progressing well – he was recently taken off his asthma inhaler and no longer needs to see any specialists. To show their gratitude, Sahil and his family appeared in the South Asian community’s A World of Smiles telethon to raise funds for BC Children’s Hospital.

Sienna Mei-Ling Turton With older sisters who their mother Norine describes as “natural therapists,” 11-year-old Sienna Mei-Ling Turton is thriving under the family-centred care she receives at home and at BC Children’s Hospital and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. Born with a rare neurological condition called Joubert’s Syndrome, Sienna has to contend with low muscle tone, chronic kidney disease, retinal disorder and hypersensitivity. She is currently on dialysis and visits the Hospital regularly. Although Sienna can walk and run she requires a wheelchair for distances as she tires easily. Sienna’s verbal abilities continue to flourish and she has progressed to using very little sign language. Sienna is spirited and loves being around people, especially hanging out with her mom Norine and her loving sisters, Justine and Nicole.

Ava Coonfer Ava Coonfer was only 10 weeks old when she began developing a blood-filled blister on her eyelid. A trip to BC Children’s Hospital revealed that it was a hemangioma, a tumour commonly found in infants. However, in Ava’s case, there was a danger that the tumour would blind her. She was fitted with glasses at 11 months old by doctors in the Ophthalmology Department and treated with steroids to reduce the swelling. Getting Ava to wear her glasses at such a young age was a challenge for her parents, Tracey and Lee, who came to rely on doctors at BC Children’s Hospital for care they couldn’t get anywhere else. Today Ava, along with her twin sister Emma, are active three year-olds, spending their time doing the things they love most: singing, swimming, and playing together.

Roman, Hailey and Madison Gagne Roman Gagne and his twin sisters Hailey and Madison have cystic fibrosis. Between them, they take 70 pills a day and receive physiotherapy twice a day to help loosen the mucus in their lungs – one of the effects of their condition. The siblings visit the Cystic Fibrosis Clinic at BC Children’s Hospital on a regular basis and their parents, as advised by caregivers, encourage the children to participate in physical activities – something that they are only too happy to do. There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and Roman, Hailey and Madison will continue to require care throughout their lifetimes.

Justin Lau A combination of research and clinical care at BC Children’s Hospital saved Justin Lau’s life. Justin, like his late brother Cameron, was born with severe combined immune deficiency – a rare genetic condition that gave Justin a severely compromised immune system and an inability to fight infections. Researchers at the Child & Family Research Institute were able to determine the exact type of Justin’s DNA mutation, enabling BC Children’s doctors to find a suitable cord blood match for Justin’s stem cell transplant before he was born. Justin is now fully recovered, thanks to his “new” immune system and the love of his caregivers and family.
8 Room to Grow
room to care The children and youth we see don’t just need more room; they need the right kind of room. They need spaces that better accommodate families, facilitate the use of technology, and speed healing. They also need access to specialized care in locations around the province. One of our goals is to ensure that the bedrooms BC’s kids come to know best are their own.
Nearly 140 open-heart surgeries are performed every year, and more than 60 per cent of those are performed on patients younger than one year.

Be A Superhero –The Campaign for BC Children The goal of the $200-million Campaign for BC Children is to ensure children and youth in BC and the Yukon have access to outstanding specialized pediatric care in a new hospital that supports excellence, and that every child has access to a consistent standard of specialized care, no matter where he or she lives.
Money raised through the Campaign for BC Children will be used to support the construction of a new Children’s Hospital on the current site, the relocation of child development and rehabilitation services to the site, and Child Health BC, a network of pediatric excellence across the province.
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation proudly recognizes the Superheroes who have stepped forward to support the Campaign for BC Children. Since its launch in April 2008, thousands of individuals and organizations have donated $82 million toward the campaign goal. The Government of British Columbia has stated its support for the campaign and its commitment to the construction of a new Children’s Hospital. Why do we need a new BC Children’s Hospital? Treating Children with Complex and Chronic Conditions
Children with illnesses that would once have claimed their lives are now surviving into adulthood. For these children, survival is not without lasting challenges, and children’s hospitals now expect that in the near future as many as 75 per cent of their beds will be occupied by children with chronic and complex conditions. The age of the existing Hospital makes it harder to meet the needs of today’s
patients, many of whom have far more complex and chronic medical conditions than those the Hospital was originally designed to treat. Attracting the Best of the Best
In order for the Hospital to recruit pediatric specialists from around the world, it must have research and clinical facilities that support the use of the latest practices, techniques and technology. The new Hospital will attract specialists who want a firm foundation on which to build their clinical and research practices. Creating an Environment that Speeds Healing
The new Children’s Hospital will have a physical environment that is designed to promote healing. In recent years, “healing environments” have been shown to greatly accelerate recovery rates and enable children to return home sooner.
Last year, children at BC Children’s Hospital underwent 8,205 surgical procedures, ranging from simple orthopedic day surgeries, to life-saving neurosurgeries and open-heart operations.
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation 11
Caring for Children and their Families
On its busiest days, BC Children’s Hospital treats more than 900 children.
Medicine today is family-focused – yet BC Children’s Hospital can’t adequately accommodate families. The new Hospital, like other modern children’s hospitals in North America, will have resources and facilities that will make it easier for parents to stay with their children comfortably and help minimize the hardship of being away from home and work while caring for a sick child. Harnessing Technology
Today’s technology permits faster diagnoses and less invasive treatments, but the existing Hospital was not designed to house the state-of-the-art equipment currently available. The new Hospital will better integrate technology in the operating room and at the bedside.
12 Room to Care
Campaign Priorities Building the New BC Children’s Hospital Teck Resources Limited has made a $25million commitment to name the new BC Children’s Hospital building. Other naming opportunities, including labs and hospital wings, are available starting at $3 million.
Planning for building the new Children’s Hospital is well underway. Construction will take place in phases aimed at minimizing disruption to ongoing care and treatment. The first phase, which involves moving staff and services from areas slated for demolition or renovation, is getting started. The second phase involves the construction of the new Hospital adjacent to the existing Ambulatory Care and Children’s Hospital buildings. Project completion is estimated for late 2015. A priority during the first phase is to ensure services are not disrupted and that the quality and range of care remains consistent with current practices.
Robert (Bob) Breen joined the Provincial Health ServicesAuthority in October 2008 as the chief project officer for the Children’s & Women’s Redevelopment Project. His team is consulting with internal and external stakeholders to ensure the new facilities will meet our needs for years to come. As part of that consultation, a public open house was held in April 2009, following the submission of a site rezoning application. Relocation of Child Development and Rehabilitation Services from Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children
Approximately 5,000 kids from across BC receive development and rehabilitation services at the Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children each year. Children seen at Sunny Hill have conditions ranging from cerebral palsy and autism to traumatic brain and spinal injuries as a result of accidents. Caregivers use expertise and specialized technologies to help children learn or relearn basic
skills such as speaking and walking, and support their mobility with customized wheelchairs and other devices. Many children seen at Sunny Hill require regular medical care at BC Children’s Hospital. Relocation of services will eliminate the many cross-town trips that staff and families must make between the two facilities. Children and youth will benefit from care provided by a range of specialists in one location. The move will also enhance collaboration between researchers and clinicians and help to streamline diagnoses and the provision of therapy to children.
Sunny Hill serves more than 5,000 children annually from nearly 300 BC communities.

Improved Access to Pediatric Care through Child Health BC BC Children’s Hospital Foundation is raising $50 million for Child Health BC as part of the Campaign for BC Children. The Overwaitea Food Group became Child Health BC’s lead benefactor with a gift of $20 million.
The Emergency Department at BC Children’s receives over 40,000 visits a year.
BC Children’s Hospital is responsible for providing care to nearly one million children in BC – no matter where in the province they live. Each year close to 50,000 children and their families travel from outside the City of Vancouver to Children’s Hospital for care. In response to growing needs, BC Children’s Hospital developed Child Health BC to help improve access to pediatric care and ensure all children have access to a consistent standard of medical services. The goal is to enable children and families to receive the specialized care they need, closer to their homes.

Campaign Gifts Over 11,000 British Columbians from 223 communities have stepped forward to support the campaign. Fourteen donors have made campaign contributions ranging from $1 million to $25 million and approximately 180 more have made gifts of $10,000 or more. This generosity is giving the children of BC a hospital for the future, a refuge for sick and injured kids and their families in their time of greatest need, and the possibility of health and prosperity for generations to come. $20+ Million

Media Partners
In 2008 and 2009 two major media partners stepped forward to join the Superhero team: Global BC TV joined the campaign in April 2008 with a live broadcast to launch the campaign to roughly 250,000 viewers across the province. Global BC’s unprecedented news coverage of the Hospital continued throughout the year. With 19 stations across BC, the Pattison Broadcast Group joined Global BC in 2009 with a commitment to promote the campaign as a province-wide radio partner. The Overwaitea Food Group, also a Pattison company, was the first donor to the campaign with a $20-million pledge of support for Child Health BC.
The Child and Youth Mental Health Clinics receive more than 11,000 outpatient visits each year.

Report of the President and Chair In 2008-09 our Foundation, and so many other businesses, faced an unprecedented challenge. Not even a year into our $200-million Campaign for BC Children, the economy faltered, markets plunged and a global recession appeared imminent. In October we scaled back our major gift efforts, maintaining contact with our friends and supporters, but temporarily putting off requests for large gifts. Today, as signs of recovery appear, our campaign is regaining momentum. Through the highs and lows, two things have remained constant. The first is the support we receive from the “grassroots” – the thousands of British Columbians who volunteer their time and talent, and who donate funds to Foundation-hosted or independent events around the province. Their commitment has been steadfast throughout.
16 Report of the President and Chair
The second constant is the need. Regardless of the state of the economy, a sick or injured child needs care. Children need their parents at their bedside, the care of specialists, access to the latest technology and the benefits of research. They need room to grow, to heal and to thrive. We’re doing what we can to ensure children have their complex medical needs met. In 2008-09 BC Children’s Hospital Foundation provided $43.5 million to BC Children’s, Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children and the Child & Family Research Institute. These funds are directed to the urgent priorities of those facilities. In addition, our supporters contributed millions to the Campaign for BC Children as the ranks of Superheroes continue to grow. Global BC TV remains a vital campaign supporter, helping us to build awareness and raise money through news coverage and by participating in our events. Global shares the credit for the 16-per-cent increase in the number of donors we saw this year over last – to 119,551. Global helped us reach British Columbians to an extent and in a manner that we could never have achieved on our own.
BC Children’s sees over 75,000 patients each year.
We would like to thank our supporters across British Columbia for the success of the 2008 Miracle Weekend, which set a new record once again, bringing in $15.6 million. This result, which was announced in June 2008, and an exceptionally strong first half of our fiscal year,
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation 17
countered the blow when recession took some of the wind out of our sails in the second half of the year. We finished the fiscal year with consolidated revenues of $61.1 million, slightly higher than the year prior – an exceptional result for the times. In the year ahead we will continue to work toward the completion of our campaign and the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital, while ensuring children continue to have their needs met on the current site. We are grateful to you, our donors, for standing by the Hospital and BC’s children. We look forward with a confidence that remains rooted in your support. One in every 100 children in BC is born with heart disease, and most of them are treated at BC Children’s Hospital.
Thank you,

18 Report of the President and Chair
Message from the Campaign Chair Much has changed since we held the public launch of the Campaign for BC Children in April 2008 and asked British Columbians to be Superheroes. We had no reason to believe our goal of raising $200 million to support the construction of a new Hospital and improving access to specialized pediatric care was anything but within reach. We announced generous gifts – $20 million from the Overwaitea Food Group and $25 million from Teck Resources – that far exceeded anything the Foundation had seen before. Few could predict then that a mere six months later we would see global economies plunge into recession.
An average of 600 sick and injured children receive care every day at BC Children’s.
Even as financial storms raged, we held on to the belief that our goal was attainable, that future generations of BC children would have a state-of-the-art facility ready for them should the need arise. Of course, we were concerned. Our friends, our donors, our colleagues, were affected by the crisis. We knew though that we had no choice but to continue. This is not a project that can be dismissed. So great is the need. BC Children’s Hospital Foundation 19
We have not emerged unscathed. Our campaign will take longer than anticipated. Fortunately, we’re regaining momentum. By April 2009, the one-year anniversary of the campaign, we had raised $82 million. This is no small achievement. Many new donors pledged their support – from the thousands of people who have responded to our televised pleas on Global BC TV, to the corporations and community groups who have stepped up to help build the new BC Children’s Hospital.
The Radiology Department at BC Children’s Hospital operates the only pediatric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner in BC.
In the past year the Ledcor Group of Companies and the Dave Lede Family Charitable Foundation pledged $5 million to name the Emergency Department. BMO Financial Group pledged $2 million to support construction of that department. The Golden Girls, a group representing the South Asian community, pledged $3 million to support the construction of a surgical suite. And a generous family, who wishes to remain anonymous, pledged $5 million for the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, the second largest donation from an individual in the Foundation’s history. Events of all sizes held in communities across BC have raised funds for the campaign. A gala dinner and concert featuring our Campaign Ambassador, Michael Bublé, and chaired by Tali’ah Aquilini raised $2.2 million. A few weeks later, the annual Crystal Ball, chaired by Muriel Dowle, raised $550,000. The For Children We Care Dinner also raised over half a million dollars. Global BC’s support remains a cornerstone of our campaign. Since the public launch of the campaign in April 2008, Global BC’s coverage has helped us win the support of over 11,000 people in 223 BC communities. When we returned to the airwaves live on Global to celebrate the first

anniversary of the campaign launch, viewers pledged close to $45,000 in one night. That same night, RBC announced a $2-million gift to the campaign. We were also proud to announce that another prominent BC media organization had joined the campaign: the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group, which includes 19 radio stations across BC, is now helping us build further awareness of the campaign. Although we have a considerable amount of work ahead of us, we gain inspiration from the widespread support we have seen. We are also inspired by the fact that, as you will read in the campaign section of this report, the contributions we have received are already having an impact on the delivery of specialized care to children across BC. Ultimately, that’s the bottom line that really matters. Thank you for your support.
The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Hospital cares for over 1,000 children every year.

BC Children’s Hospital is the only pediatric health centre and teaching hospital in BC, and the largest full-service child-health centre in Canada.
An Interview with the Hospital President Q: Planning is underway for a new BC Children’s Hospital. Meanwhile, the existing Hospital remains highly regarded in North America. What’s changing in pediatric medicine that makes a new hospital necessary?
There are several trends in pediatric care that are taxing or will tax the resources we have available to us at Children’s today. One of the greatest challenges, ironically, is posed by our own success as medical professionals. There is so much more we can do to help children now than in the past, and we’re much more successful in treating conditions today that would not long ago have proven fatal to children. Mortality rates for young children are decreasing, and that’s a good thing! It does mean, for example, that we are seeing more very young patients and are able to do more to help them. Of course, caring for these fragile patients requires a tremendous amount of resources in terms of both people and facilities, and we’re seeing this strain our resources in our
22 An Interview with the Hospital President
intensive care units in particular, as well as in other areas. These children require the use of incubators, highly specialized ventilators, equipment that delivers medications, and a variety of sophisticated monitors. This means that a considerable amount of space is required to treat even the tiniest of children. Q: So the type of patient we’re seeing is changing?
Yes and no. We continue to see children with the same sorts of injuries and illnesses we’ve seen in the past – with respiratory illnesses and broken bones. Fortunately we’re much better at treating many of these more common ailments, and many of these children are treated as outpatients now, meaning they don’t stay overnight. On the other hand, we’re also seeing an ever-greater number of children with serious and complex chronic conditions, and these are the children who will occupy our beds and require intensive care in growing numbers in the future. These are the children who are surviving cancer, who are living with cystic fibrosis and other once-fatal conditions. They are surviving, but they are not without ongoing and often complex medical needs that will stay with them into adulthood. It’s the double-edged sword of medical progress and a good problem to have. All the same, it’s putting increased strain on pediatric caregivers and facilities as we care for younger children and work with specialists to transition older patients to the world of adult care.
About 15 per cent of BC children have some form of developmental disability.
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation 23
Q: What role is technology playing in changing the face of pediatric care? Isn’t it supposed to make life easier?
More than 300 children and their families are involved in ongoing research at Sunny Hill.
Technology plays a vital role in all areas of medicine and patient care and is part of the solution and the challenge. For example, our ability to see inside the body in a non-invasive way is better than ever. Ultrasound images and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) permit us to see with great clarity what once were murky images at best. Increasingly, this is taking technology beyond diagnostics and into treatment. Image-guided procedures are now routine. Minimally invasive surgeries, in which very small incisions are made where once long, disfiguring incisions were required, and which involve less risk and allow faster healing, are becoming more common and require extensive use of technology. In addition, we’re now performing image-guided procedures that simply weren’t possible in the past. Again, the use of technology at the bedside and in the operating room is a wonderful thing, but it creates equipment, training and space needs that did not exist previously. Q: Child Health BC is an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital. How important will the distributed delivery of pediatric care in communities across BC be in the future?
In a province with such a huge geographical area it’s absolutely critical. Although Children’s is responsible for the delivery of pediatric care to children with complex conditions, it’s not our desire or goal to have all those children visit us here in Vancouver. We are doing what we can to support a four-tiered approach to pediatric health-care delivery. On the first tier, we want to support, through training, education and
24 An Interview with the Hospital President
awareness, the public health nurses, family doctors, social workers and teachers who are really on the front lines of pediatric care around the province. On the second tier, we are working with partners across the province to strengthen community-based services for children and youth. On the third tier, we are helping to develop regional specialized services to complement those community-based services. And, finally, we are determined to maintain and build on the Hospital’s role as a provider of subspecialized services, delivering the type of care that is made possible only with a range and concentration of expertise in a single location. That’s the fourth tier. Through Child Health BC we are continuing to work with care providers across BC, and with the regional health authorities to ensure children in all corners of the province have access to a consistent standard of pediatric care – ideally, close to home. That is why it is so vital to develop and support the first three tiers in a child’s local community while ensuring the fourth tier, the campus at BC Children’s Hospital, is as strong, modern and up-to-date as possible.
67% of patients seen every year at BC Children’s Hospital come from areas outside the City of Vancouver.
Q: Clearly we are faced with a lot of challenges – we need a new hospital, we are serving kids in a vast area, and there’s strong competition for the specialists we need. What makes you think we can succeed?
We certainly do have a challenge ahead of us. That said, we are positioned as well as, or better than, any hospital in North America. As an agency of the Provincial Health Services Authority, we are part of a province-wide system in a universal and publicly funded health-care

system. We have a large and predictable patient base, which makes planning easier. We are the only children’s hospital in the province and have established relationships with regional services. We have an internationally recognized research program at the Child & Family Research Institute and close integration with outstanding medical and nursing schools. Child Health BC is helping us develop services and expertise across the province, and our Centre for International Child Health is connecting us with children and caregivers around the world and helping us attract pediatric specialists whose vision is to be of service in BC and beyond. And finally, we are fortunate to have outstanding public support as demonstrated by the success of BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. So, yes, there’s a great challenge ahead, and we have everything we need to succeed.

Excellence in Child Health Fund
$13,000,000 allocated to the Excellence in Child Health Fund in 2008-09. Contributions to the Excellence in Child Health Fund go to the areas of greatest need at BC Children’s Hospital, Sunny Hill Centre for Children, and the Child & Family Research Institute. These funds support research and clinical trials of new medications, and the purchase of equipment such as intravenous pumps and ventilators. In some cases funding for these needs would otherwise not exist.
28 Room by Room
In 2008-09, donors gave $400,000 to telehealth, a service that allows children living in remote locations to receive assessment and care from medical specialists via videoconferencing. Rather than travelling to the Hospital in Vancouver for care, telehealth patients can access services faster and closer to their home communities. The fund also supports the Office of Pediatric Surgical Evaluation and Innovation (OPSEI), a program that promotes the delivery of high-quality pediatric surgical care, advanced surgical skills training, improvement of clinical

care through research, and evaluation and implementation of new technologies in surgical disciplines. In 2008-09, OPSEI initiatives that received funding included summer student fellowships and a study to examine the feasibility of having a separate Ambulatory Surgical Unit to handle simple and less resource-dependant surgeries in the new Children’s Hospital. Equipment needs at Children’s Hospital are unique from other hospitals. Equipment purchases supported by the fund in 2008-09 included:
$150,000 to purchase 10 new Code Blue carts, equipped with life-saving equipment and medication used in all areas of the Hospital when a child’s life is suddenly in jeopardy, such as in the event of cardiac arrest. $192,000 to purchase four anesthetic monitors for the Post Anesthetic Care Unit. These monitors provide critical information during the anesthesia process, helping to monitor gas levels, and aid children in their recovery from surgery.
$46,000 to purchase four Stardust II Sleep Recorders. These units are tailored to children to monitor sleep-related breathing disorders, providing information needed for evaluation, follow-up and treatment.
We asked kids to help us design a new hospital room. We’ve included some of their suggestions in this report.

Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children
$1,432,649 allocated to Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children in 2008-09. Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children is a leading provincial facility offering specialized services to children and youth with developmental disabilities from birth to age 19. Sunny Hill staff are specialists in diagnosis and treatment and work directly with children, their families and health-care professionals in communities across BC. Among the areas of expertise are autism spectrum disorder, complex developmental disabilities, brain injury, positioning and mobility, feeding, hearing and vision disorders. In 2008-09, Sunny Hill received $1,432,649 to support the purchase of capital equipment, fund research and education programs, and provide services to more than 5,000 children from nearly 300 communities.
30 Room by Room
As a tertiary referral centre Sunny Hill assists with outreach and visits to children’s homes and communities. In 2008-09, this task became easier for Sunny Hill caregivers with the purchase of two dedicated-purpose vehicles – a Hybrid Honda and a Dodge Sprinter cargo van. The “I Can Talk Too” Program provides assistive technology such as talking computers, writing aids, and specialized computer accessories and software to children with communication challenges. The program is the only one of its kind in the province.
Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children continued
Renovations began on a “safe room,” designed to provide a designated safe area for children recovering from brain injuries and related types of trauma. In this room, children are protected from potential hazards such as wall sockets, and lighting is adjusted to provide a calm environment. $145,000 was provided to support the Developmental Pediatrics Fellowship Training Program. After two years, trainees will be fully qualified as developmental pediatricians under the requirements of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. PhD-trained psychologists are critical to providing proper care for children at Sunny Hill. In 2008-09, $14,000 was used to support a psychology internship position.
Childhood Cancer Programs & Research
$640,000 raised by the 23rd annual HSBC Childrun for childhood cancer programs and research. Every year, one child in 8,000 under the age of 17 will develop cancer – that’s about 150 children in BC annually. Last year, 142 BC kids were diagnosed with cancer and another 847 are currently undergoing treatment or on active surveillance. In 2008-09 BC Children’s Oncology/ Hematology/Bone Marrow Transplant clinics received over 9,000 outpatient visits for treatment and follow-up care. On average, 26 bone marrow transplants are performed at the Hospital each year. BC Children’s is the province’s only facility with the comprehensive, multidisciplinary team required to provide detailed diagnosis and treatment for kids with cancer. We are making great strides in developing targeted and less toxic therapies for children and helping to improve survival beyond today’s rate of 80 per cent.

Participation in clinical trials is essential in determining the effectiveness of new cancer treatments. The clinical research team, led by Dr. Mason Bond, is a leading group within the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) – an international collaboration dedicated to curing or preventing childhood cancer.
On May 15, 2008, the Government of British Columbia announced a $2-million gift to the Michael Cuccione Foundation. The funding has enabled CFRI to recruit new investigators, including Dr. James Lim, who will work in the Michael Cuccione Laboratory for Childhood Cancer Research.
This year, Dr. Kirk Schultz, pediatric oncologist at BC Children’s Hospital and head of the childhood cancer research program at the Child & Family Research Institute (CFRI), completes his final year as chair of the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Consortium – a group of over 100 international pediatric transplant centres. During his tenure, BC Children’s Hospital has provided leadership in bone marrow transplant studies, developing clinical trials, international partnerships and improving treatments for children.
As part of the Childhood, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer Survivors Research Program, Drs. Paul Rogers, Sheila Pritchard and Rod Rasskeh are evaluating the effects of treatment on cognitive abilities, second malignancies and other long-term problems of survivors. Published in the May 15 edition of Cancer, the study shows that some childhood cancer survivors, in particular those diagnosed with brain tumours, had significant problems in math and reading and were twice as likely to be enrolled in special education.
Childhood Cancer Programs & Research continued
Drs. Rod Rassekh, Bruce Carleton, Michael Hayden and Colin Ross are working to identify genes that predispose children to serious harmful effects from cancer drugs. Dr. Sandra E. Dunn leads a molecular therapeutic discovery team where she was the first to determine that the YB1 gene is a target for the treatment of cancer. Her work was published in the prestigious journal Cancer Research on November 1, 2008.
Drs. Juliette Hukin, Paul Rogers, Rod Rassekh and Mason Bond are achieving improved results with chemotherapy for certain malignant brain tumours, enabling the deferral or avoidance of radiation and the serious conditions it may cause in children. Dr. Catherine Pallen is investigating molecules that control cell movement and tumour cell spreading.
Dr. Poul Sorensen continued to chair COG’s Translational Research Committee. His work with the YB1 gene, conducted at BC Cancer Agency, was published in Cancer Cell. Dr. Evan Shereck received a grant for the study of aplastic anemia – a blood disorder in which the body’s bone marrow produces an insufficient amount of blood cells.
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation 33
Acute Care
$18,000 cost to fund three Dinamap blood pressure monitors. Children across BC with heart and brain conditions made close to 12,000 visits to the Hospital last year. With more than 5,000 visits to BC Children’s Hospital’s heart clinics, and more than 4,700 neurology clinic visits, BC Children’s is the province’s leading resource for children and youth with cardiac and neurological disorders. Last year, approximately 300 babies were born with cardiac conditions in BC. Our surgeons performed 133 open-heart surgeries last year, most of which were done on babies in their first year of life. A total of 414 cardiac surgeries were performed in 2008-09 – one third on patients less than two years old and a third on infants under a month old. This year, the Children’s Heart Centre began a new program for children with irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), making BC Children’s the sole pediatric hospital west of Toronto with an Electrophysiology Lab. Between January and April 2009, 12

children underwent catheter ablation to correct arrhythmias. During the procedure, electrode catheters are inserted into a child’s heart to “burn” away the excess cells causing the abnormal heartbeat, curing the condition and ending the need for arrhythmia medication. An innovative research program at BC Children’s Hospital is examining the link between heart birth defects and developmental deficits in newborns. Using advanced brain imaging, a multidisciplinary team is able to examine a baby in utero, and before and after openheart surgery. Knowing why brain injury occurs in newborns with heart disease is important to help parents and physicians better care for these critically ill infants.
Acute Care continued
In 2008-09, our neurosurgeons performed more than 300 surgical procedures. Neuroscience specialists led a cross-Canada study that showed early surgery can have a positive impact on babies’ brain development. Results revealed that over 80 per cent of children with epilepsy who underwent surgery at younger than three years were cured or had a 90 per cent reduction in epileptic seizures with few complications. In January 2009, Dr. Ross Petty, professor emeritus in the Division of Rheumatology, Department of Pediatrics at the University of British Columbia and a founding researcher at BC Children’s Hospital, was named a member of the Order of Canada for his work as a physician, administrator and researcher who has improved the lives of countless children with rheumatic disease. Fourteen children with kidney failure received kidney transplants at BC Children’s Hospital last year.
Child Health BC
$585,000 committed by Child Health BC to fund the new audiology clinic at Prince Rupert Regional Hospital. BC Children’s Hospital is responsible for caring for any seriously ill or injured child in BC, no matter where in the province they live. Recognizing that trips to BC Children’s in Vancouver can pose significant financial and emotional strain for children and families, Child Health BC works with regional health authority partners, community hospitals and pediatricians to identify ways to improve access to specialized care for children and youth closer to their home communities. Thanks to a $20-million pledge from Child Health BC’s lead benefactor, the Overwaitea Food Group, the program is having a tremendous impact on the delivery of pediatric care across the province. In 2008-09 Child Health BC celebrated the opening of the Child Health Centre at The Richmond Hospital, the reconfiguration of Nanaimo Regional Hospital’s pediatric inpatient unit and construction
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation 35
Child Health BC continued
of its Pediatric Ambulatory Clinic, the launch of telehealth services in Vernon’s Child Development Centre, and the expansion of the Audiology Program at Prince Rupert General Hospital. Medical professionals from across the province – and the children they treat – are also benefiting from Child Health BC’s training and education sessions. Workshops on pediatric diabetes, palliative care and respiratory virus immunization helped caregivers develop regional interprofessional team capacity and provided them with knowledge to plan for and implement specialty community programs. All of these initiatives help to expand the network of care and knowledge supported by BC Children’s Hospital and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children, benefiting children and their families in communities across BC and supporting regional healthcare providers.
Research
$10,036,000 allocated to research in 2008-09. Research is the foundation on which prevention, treatments and cures for childhood illnesses are built. In 2008-09, BC Children’s Hospital Foundation provided $10,036,000 in operational funding to the Child & Family Research Institute (CFRI), enabling researchers to secure grants and awards to support the programs and research that improve treatments and care for children. Donors, patients and officials gathered for the opening of the new Translational Research Building in the CFRI in November 2008. BC Children’s Hospital Foundation provided $22.5 million of the $58.1-million construction costs for the facility, where new recruits are joining the team of over 185 researchers and 200 trainees working to solve the health issues of children and families. Inside the new facility, scientists in traditional wet labs examine genes, molecules and cells to discover the mechanisms of disease. In neighbouring dry labs, researchers analyze patterns of health and disease in different communities to identify population needs, trends and risk factors, working hand in hand with clinical investigators who lead studies to find better treatments.
36 Room by Room
Research continued
2 00 8-0 9 Highli g ht s Researchers at CFRI are participating in a multi-million-dollar national study to examine the causes of asthma and allergies among children. Dr. Stuart Turvey is leading the Vancouver portion of the study. Researchers made progress in efforts to determine why certain drugs are safe for some children but not others. This knowledge will assist health professionals to select medications based on a child’s individual genetic makeup and to ultimately prevent potentially lifethreatening adverse drug reactions. Research conducted at CFRI revealed that education about inconsolable crying in babies, through the Period of PURPLE Crying® Program, increases parental knowledge and helps to prevent shaken baby syndrome. Each year in British Columbia, between five and 15 children suffer from traumatic brain injury from shaking.
Genetic Research
$75,023 allocated to the Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics in 2008-09. The goal of the Genetic Research Programs at the Child & Family Research Institute is to translate major advances in the understanding of genetic and genomic mechanisms of disease into improved clinical care for children and families with genetic disorders. CFRI’s close proximity to the Hospital allows BC’s kids to benefit from the synergy between the Hospital’s clinical expertise and research excellence at CFRI. Located on the Hospital site, and affiliated with the University of British Columbia and CFRI, the Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics (CMMT) is committed to solving the many genetic questions surrounding human illness and well-being. CMMT researchers believe a fundamental understanding of the molecular function and structure of genes is the key to improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention of health problems in children and adults.
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation 37
Genetic Research continued
Dr. Michael Hayden, founder and director of CMMT, was named Canada’s 2008 “Health Researcher of the Year” in the field of biomedical and clinical research – the highest scientific honour from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). His team is developing potential treatments for Huntington disease – a fatal degenerative brain disease that affects one in every 10,000 Canadians. Drugs may be ready for testing as soon as next year. Fourteen CFRI investigators received funding as principal investigators in the September 2008 CIHR Operating Grants Competition. CFRI investigators attained a success rate of 48 per cent, surpassing the competition’s overall success rate of 21.6 per cent. Their three- and five-year grants total $6.26 million.
38 Room by Room
The Canadian Pharmacogenomics Network for Drug Safety, led by Drs. Bruce Carleton and Michael Hayden, is a national project to identify children who suffer serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to medication. Network scientists are uncovering genes associated with these drug reactions in order to develop tests that predict which children are at risk of ADRs – before the drug is given – so doctors can prescribe drug dosages based on a child’s genetic profile. Findings will influence pediatric medical practice on a global scale, placing Canada as a world leader in making prescription drug use safer for children.
SMART OR
$3,000,000 contributed by Mining for Miracles to create the two SMART operating rooms. Surgical teams at BC Children’s Hospital perform an average of 8,200 operations a year. These include approximately 414 cardiac surgeries, 273 neurosurgeries and 964 orthopedic surgeries. Thanks to the generous support of BC’s mining industry through the 2006 and 2007 Mining for Miracles campaigns, BC Children’s opened two operating suites with Surgical, Minimal Access, RadiologicTelemetric – or SMART – technology in 2008-09. Twice the size of the Hospital’s traditional operating rooms (ORs), the SMART ORs are equipped with the latest surgical and communication technologies, including state-of-the-art laparoscopic equipment, high-definition flat-panel screens and a voice-activated system. In the SMART ORs, doctors perform minimally invasive surgeries guided by live images captured by a tiny camera placed inside the patient. Incisions of a centimetre or less allow small telescopes and lights to be inserted through “ports” into a patient’s body. Because the incisions
are much smaller than those made in traditional surgeries, children endure less pain, recover faster and heal with hardly noticeable scars – helping to enhance positive body images as they grow. One of the SMART ORs – the Navigational SMART OR – is specially designed to perform advanced spinal surgeries in children. The room is equipped with overhead boom-mounted high-resolution monitors, allowing surgeons to view multiple images, such as magnetic resonance images (MRIs) and computed tomography (CT) data, simultaneously during surgery. The room is also equipped with a navigation system and a CT flouro unit – which displays constantly updated images – to facilitate the placement of implants around the spinal cord and around other body structures. The three-dimensional flouro unit and the navigation system communicate with each other to produce virtual three-dimensional images during implant placement – particularly useful in surgeries involving the upper cervical spine in young children.
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation 39
SMART OR continued
In addition to minimizing the impact of surgeries on children, SMART ORs are an ideal place to teach and share information with medical students and caregivers locally and around the world. SMART ORs relay surgical procedures in real time to monitors in classrooms and other settings. Moreover, doctors at BC Children’s use the SMART technologies to consult with specialists in other locations during surgeries. Ultimately, these collaborations translate into safer and better care for our children.
Centre for International Child Health
$1,468,271 raised for the Centre for International Child Health in 2008-09. The Centre for International Child Health (CICH) was established by BC Children’s Hospital in 2004 to improve the lives and health of children globally. The centre works with Canadian and international health-care partners to build capacity and knowledge, cementing BC Children’s position as a leader in efforts to improve global child health. Canada- C hi na Part ners hi ps With generous support from the Fu Tak Iam Foundation Ltd. and an anonymous donor, CICH established a four-year neurosciences training program with the Guangzhou Children’s Hospital. The project aims to help Guangzhou Children’s increase its capacity as a training centre in the region to address the diagnosis and management of seizure disorders, neuromotor disabilities and developmental disorders.

Thanks to the visionary support of the ZeShan Foundation and an anonymous donor, the first cohort of 11 specialists selected from across China have undergone 12 months of training with Canadian faculty at Children’s Hospital of Fudan University in Shanghai and six months hands-on training in Canada in infectious diseases and emergency medicine management. These trainees will transfer knowledge to their home hospitals to provide improved medical services for children in China. The second cohort started training in January 2009. As a result of its collaboration with CICH and generous gifts from the Kadoorie Charitable Foundation and Madam Lucina Laam, the Cardiac Program at Children’s Hospital of Fudan University has doubled its capacity to care for children with complex congenital heart disease. Since the program’s launch in 2004, 10 Chinese specialists have received cardiac training at BC Children’s.
T he B ui l di ng Capac i t y i n C hi l d Care i n Ug anda Pro jec t The Building Capacity in Child Care in Uganda Project carries out training and capacity-building activities in Uganda in partnership with the Makerere University and Mulago Hospital. Initiatives involving problem-based learning, midwifery, improved survival for the acutely ill child and specialist training in health research are at various stages of development. B ri g ht er Sm i l es Af ri c a Pro jec t The goal of the Brighter Smiles Africa Project is to build a collaborative partnership with the Makerere University in Uganda to improve the health of African children. More than 1,560 Ugandan children from a Kampala orphanage and in four rural communities – Kiboga, Hoima, Kalisizo and Kawolo – are enrolled in the program. These children have shown great improvements in their oral health and parents and teachers have enhanced knowledge in basic health care.
BC Children’s Hospital Foundation 41
Report from the Finance Committee Consolidated revenues for the 2008-09 year increased slightly, to $61.1 million from $60.7 million in the year prior. A decline in investment income from over $10 million last year to $2.9 million was offset by an increase in major gifts revenue to $19.7 million – donations from individuals and corporations generated through personal solicitation. In addition, Miracle Weekend revenue increased by just under $1 million to $15.6 million – yet another Miracle Weekend record. A sold-out lottery contributed another $2.9 million. Payments of pledges to the Campaign for BC Children are also reflected in Foundation revenue and will continue to be for several years beyond the conclusion of the campaign. Planning for the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital on the current site is underway and site preparation is expected to begin in 2010. Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital and a campaign priority, opened facilities in Richmond, Nanaimo, Vernon and Prince Rupert, delivering immediate campaign benefits to children in or near those centres. The new Translational Research Building at the Child & Family Research Institute (CFRI), the construction of which was funded in part with a contribution of $22.5 million from the Foundation, opened in November 2008. It is now home to a variety of research programs including diabetes, infectious diseases, genetics and mental health. The Campaign for BC Children remains the Foundation’s priority, along with meeting the immediate and ongoing needs of BC Children’s Hospital, Sunny Hill and the CFRI. If you would like more information about the Foundation’s fiscal activity or to receive our audited financial statements, please contact the Foundation at 604.875.2444 or visit us at www.bcchf.ca.

Ways of Giving
RRS P/ RRI F
There are many ways to make a gift to benefit BC’s kids.
You can name BC Children’s Hospital Foundation as the direct beneficiary of the proceeds of the RRSP or RRIF or you can make a gift to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation in your will. The resulting tax credit may be used to offset the tax payable on the redemption of the proceeds of the retirement plan.
Bequest in your Will A bequest is a direction in your will that a certain sum of money, a particular asset, or a portion of the estate is to be given to British Columbia’s Children’s Hospital Foundation (our legal name).
Life Insurance Giving life insurance is a way of making a gift without depleting your estate or depriving your loved ones of other assets. At the end of your lifetime, the gift of the policy proceeds will be paid by the insurance company directly to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. Depending on how the policy is structured, you may receive a tax benefit during your lifetime or your estate will receive the benefit.
Flow-through Shares Publicly traded flow-through shares whose hold period has expired are an effective way to give. Flow-through shares – shares of Canadian mining, oil and gas companies – have unique tax incentives that, when combined with a charitable tax receipt, offer even bigger tax savings.
Publicly traded Securities Donating securities is the most effective way to give. If you own publicly traded securities that have increased in value and you decide to sell them, 50 per cent of the capital gain is taxable. However, if you donate these securities “in kind” to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, no tax is payable on the capital gain. The resulting tax credit from the donation of the securities will reduce taxes payable on other income. Making a gift of publicly traded securities to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation is easy to do. Please contact us for a transfer form to facilitate the process.
Pledges Our pledge program offers you a convenient method for making contributions. The program allows you to spread your contribution over three to five years, usually commencing the year the pledge is made. You will receive full recognition for the value of your contribution as soon as the commitment is made. BC Children’s Hospital Foundation is a registered Canadian charity and issues tax receipts for all donations. Tax credits generated by donations can offset tax otherwise payable on up to 75 per cent of your net income in the year of the gift. Any unused tax credits may be carried forward and used to offset taxes over the following five years.
