2013 Cardinal Glennon Annual Report

2013

Impact Report

Dear Friends of Cardinal Glennon, At Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation, we are blessed each and every day to witness the miracle of unselfish giving. We are continually honored and moved to see the great things that result when thousands of supporters give generously to a cause they love, cherish and believe in with such compassion.

In 2013, for the third consecutive year, we enjoyed record donations to our mission. We had more donors to our mission and welcomed many first time contributors. We were blessed by more than 45 estate gifts and welcomed dozens more who became annuitants. The generosity and compassion shown for our cause was nothing short of amazing.

Some donors give because their family has been directly touched by our mission; others give because they feel blessed that their family has not needed the lifesaving work of SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. But they all give knowing that their collective generosity will move our exceptional children’s medical center to the forefront of pediatric medicine.

In 2013, our Board of Governors committed up to $2 million to help SSM Cardinal Glennon and Saint Louis University School of Medicine build up our signature programs and enhance our top performing service lines.

The result of that investment is already paying great dividends. In 2013 our Dorothy and Larry Dallas Heart Center and Dana Brown Neonatal Intensive Care Unit were nationally recognized in the U.S. News & In 2013, for the third World Report annual rankings. consecutive year, we enjoyed Cardiology and Heart Surgery is again recognized in 2014 record donations to our mission. along with Gastroenterology, GI Surgery and Nephrology.

These rankings would not be possible without the support of thousands of kind and generous people in our community who have helped raise these departments up to the world-class level they are today.

Because of you and thousands of generous supporters like you, we continue to improve pediatric medicine and enhance the patient experience for every child who comes to us injured, ailing or battling a life-threatening disease.

While our doctors, nurses and specialists continue to develop the very best treatments and procedures in pediatric medicine, our donors continue to raise the bar of charitable giving, making a perfect team joined together for one important mission.

We pray that this impact report inspires you to step forward in faith and help us continue to build innovative, cutting-edge programs and services. It is through your compassion and generosity that we can continue to reveal the healing presence of God to all we serve. Thank you for being the best supporters under the sun!

Sincerely,

Dan Buck, Vice President of Philanthropy Cardinal Glennon Children’s Foundation

Your donations help provide basic health care assistance, such as prescription drugs, meal tickets, transportation and other forms of support to our uninsured patients.

Footprints is a program of comfort and advocacy for families and children with complex medical illnesses. The Care Team includes physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, care coordinators, family members and others, with a goal of having the resources and support available so these children and their families can live full lives. Footprints staff works with families in the hospital and at home to identify issues which may become difficult, and advocate to see that those issues are resolved. Footprints staff provides immediate support for the family, assistance in talking with siblings and assistance with funeral options. Your donations support the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of children and their families.

Children’s Fund Donations to the Children’s Fund are used to address special needs of the hospital and our patients as they arise. This unrestricted fund allows for investing in special projects and programs at the medical center.
