direction. “In occupational therapy we do activities like this to focus on range of motion and flexibility in Tenley’s hand and wrist,” says Ashley Williams, a CHKD occupational therapist. Physical therapy sessions include kid-friendly activities too, like roller-skating and throwing a basketball, to help Tenley with issues like endurance, balance and pain management. “We want to make sure Tenley is able to play and enjoy life with the least amount of restriction possible,” says Anna.

Children with oligoarticular JIA are also at a particularly high risk for chronic eye inflammation or uveitis, which can lead to vision loss. So Tenley makes regular visits to Dr. Eric Crouch, a pediatric ophthalmologist at CHKD, to keep a close watch on her vision. She also sees CHKD specialists in allergy, otolaryngology and pulmonology – receiving her care at the CHKD Health and Surgery Center at Oyster Point.

“We’re so grateful to be able to get all of the care Tenley needs so close to home,” says Bree. “We know families who travel six hours just to be seen by a pediatric rheumatologist.

We are lucky Tenley is able to see all of her specialists and therapists right here on the Peninsula at facilities specifically designed just for kids. We’ve even made a trip or two to the CHKD Urgent Care at Tech Center in Newport News.”

Children with JIA, like Tenley, can be considered in remission after a period of time without any symptoms or additional affected areas. Unfortunately, JIA symptoms can continue into adulthood and flare ups, commonly triggered by infection, stress or intense physical activity, can occur at any time. So Tenley will continue to be followed by her CHKD care team for many years to come.

With the help of her family and CHKD, Tenley will have many green bracelet days ahead. “Managing Tenley’s illness takes a lot of work, but we have seen a huge improvement in her condition over the last two years thanks to the great care she receives at CHKD,” says Bree. “It gives me hope for her future. A healthy future.”

For Shelby, treatment in CHKD’s inpatient rehabilitation unit is nothing new. So when she returned to the unit following surgery this summer, she quickly settled into a familiar room – the exact same room she stayed in almost a decade ago. But this time, in the room right next to hers, she saw a familiar face – her best friend, Dana, who was also recovering from surgery.

Both longtime patients at CHKD, Dana and Shelby are longtime friends, too – together since their preschool days.

Now high school students at Kempsville High School in Virginia Beach, they were delighted by the unexpected overlap in their rehab stay. They even had a pizza party to celebrate their first night together in the hospital.

While inpatient rehabilitation can be intense – including three or four hours a day of physical and occupational therapy – there’s nothing like the cheers from your best friend to keep you going. “Dana and Shelby really motivated each other to achieve their therapy goals, and after their sessions, they shared stories and helped one another stay positive despite the challenges they faced each day,” says Kelly Pierce, a physical therapist at CHKD. CHKD’s pediatric inpatient rehabilitation unit is the only one of its kind in Virginia, and children, teens and young adults from across the commonwealth and along the East Coast are admitted each year. The unit helps patients develop new skills or regain those that have been lost due to accidents, illnesses or surgeries.

“What really makes the inpatient rehab unit at CHKD special is the phenomenal team of physicians, nurses, therapists, case workers and teachers that work with patients and families every day,” says Dr. Charles Dillard, a pediatric physical medicine and rehabilitation physician at CHKD. “Our entire focus is on maximizing a child’s function and independence so they can go home safely and get back to doing what they love to do.”

Thanks to the crossover in their treatment, Dana and Shelby were able to get back to doing their favorite things before they even left the hospital – watching movies, sharing pizza and just hanging out together. “It was awesome to have a friend on the rehab unit,” says Shelby. “And I know Dana felt the same way. It was nice knowing we were there for each other.”

CHKD nurse gains new insights as mom of triplets

hen Laura Warner gave birth to triplets 12 weeks ahead of schedule – each weighing less than 3 pounds – a team from CHKD was waiting to immediately take the babies from Sentara Norfolk General through the adjoining hallways to CHKD’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The NICU can be an intimidating place for parents of a critically ill newborn, but to Laura, it was familiar territory. She’d spent hundreds of nights there at the bedside of dozens of tiny babies as a registered nurse with special certification in neonatal intensive care.

“Being a NICU nurse at CHKD definitely helped prepare me for what our babies would face, but it was still very scary,” says Laura. “And, although the medical jargon, tubes, wires and equipment all came second nature to me, the thing that reassured me most was knowing that our babies would have an amazing team looking after them.”

Within 20 minutes, a member of the CHKD NICU team returned to Sentara to give Laura and her husband, PJ, an update on the triplets. “I knew they were in good hands,” says Laura. “But, it was very reassuring to get news so quickly that the babies were doing well.”

As the largest and only subspecialty civilian NICU in the region, CHKD is able to provide the highest and most sophisticated level of neonatal care to the tiniest and most critically ill babies in Hampton Roads and beyond. In addition to more than a dozen CHKD neonatologists and neonatal nurse practitioners caring for babies in the 62-bed unit, the hospital is equipped to provide surgical repair of complex congenital conditions and has a full range of pediatric medical and surgical specialists as well as pediatric anesthesiologists on site.

“I know they did so well thanks to CHKD, and I wouldn’t have wanted

them cared for anywhere else.”

-Laura Warner “Each year, we care for nearly 500 babies – many transported here from as far as North Carolina and the Eastern Shore of Virginia,” says Dr. Glen Green, a neonatologist at CHKD. “Our capacity to provide advanced care to these babies allows us to initiate definitive treatment sooner, while giving families the added benefit of having their babies cared for close to home.”

The triplets – identical twin girls, Charlotte and Claire, and their brother, Levi – spent eight weeks in CHKD’s NICU before they were strong enough to come home. During that time, the couple experienced support and services from CHKD that go far beyond medicine. “Since I work nights, I never fully realized how much goes into the care of the babies and their families. It goes far beyond the doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners,” says Laura. “From family support coordinators, lactation consultants and social workers to case managers, child life specialists and chaplain services, we were surrounded by people who answered all our questions and fulfilled our every need.”

The triplets thrived during their time in the NICU, with no surgery or major setbacks, and were able to go home ahead of schedule.

“We were blessed to have a smooth stay without any serious complications along the way,” says Laura. “I know they did so well thanks to CHKD, and I wouldn’t have wanted them cared for anywhere else.”

Although Laura’s nursing experience made her journey as a NICU mom a little different than many of the parents of her patients, she has gained a new understanding of what it’s like to be on the other side of the isolette.

“No matter how much someone knows about the NICU, it will never prepare you for the emotions you feel when your own children need that level of care,” Laura says. “Instead of sympathizing with my patient families, I can actually empathize with them now. I think that will make me an even better nurse.”

Community Benefit Report

Investing in the future of our community.

Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters was founded more than 50 years ago on the premise that every child deserves equal access to the best possible pediatric care. Today, CHKD works to identify and meet the most pressing healthcare needs of our community’s young people through a diverse offering of community benefit programs and services. CHKD’s community benefits ease the government’s burden of caring for our region’s neediest and most vulnerable children. Our community benefit programs also subsidize medical services available nowhere else in the area, advance knowledge of children’s health issues, and help build a safer, healthier community for all of our children. In the year that ended June 30, 2016, CHKD’s total community benefit expenses, minus offsetting revenue, topped $100 million.

$29 million

$50 million

Medicaid and Charity Care

Subsidized Health Services

CHKD has always cared for every child who needs our services, regardless of their ability to pay or what kind of insurance they have. In 2016, 62 percent of CHKD’s inpatient days were covered by Medicaid, which paid us $27.7 million less than our true cost of providing care. The hospital also provided $2 million in charity care.

CHKD provides the specialized services children need to receive care close to home and school during a health challenge. Examples of our subsidized services include our childhood cancer program, our pediatric weightmanagement program, our child abuse program, behavioral and mental health services and urgent care.

Community Health Improvement Education and Research CHKD works with local partners and agencies to formally assess the pediatric healthcare needs in our community and design programs to meet them. Examples of these programs include our neonatal outreach program, medical social work, our community outreach program, parenting classes and costs associated with the development of our community benefit program.

As the regional authority on pediatric health and wellness, CHKD invests in education and research that advances the understanding of pediatric medicine and shares this knowledge with community partners. In addition, we are committed to the future care of children through our pediatric residency program and fellowships in fields such as child abuse and pediatric emergency medicine.

“We are happy to have a meaningful way to express our gratitude and help other families that need CHKD.” – Meredith Rutter

B

rother and Meredith Rutter of Virginia Beach have been influential patrons of the arts for many years. Recently, they’ve discovered a way to combine their shared love for contemporary art with a commitment to support and inspire local children at CHKD. “We know CHKD changes the lives of children for the better, and we believe art has the power to do that too,” says Brother.

Meredith agrees. “Supporting CHKD is a great fit for us because ultimately we share a similar mission - to make a positive difference in the lives of local families,” she says.

The Rutter Family Art Foundation (RFAF) was established in 2014 to foster community engagement with contemporary art, especially people who might not have the opportunity to go to a museum or art show. “We don’t just want to create our own art exhibitions. We want to fuel the projects of other organizations like CHKD that affect the entire community,” says Brother.

The RFAF has been instrumental in supporting the efforts of CHKD’s Creative Arts Council which formed largely as a result of this partnership and brings significant art installations

that are fully funded by philanthropy to CHKD facilities. Works such as “Energy,” a mural created by nationally acclaimed artist and Virginia Beach native Ryan McGinness, provide important distractions, help children feel safe and calm and encourage the healing process.

“We know that art has many emotional and physical benefits.

We want to bring those benefits to everyone in Hampton Roads, and I can’t imagine a better setting for that than CHKD,” says Brother.

With family roots in the region, Brother and Meredith appreciate CHKD’s expert pediatric care as parents of Carter and Austin. “Our family has certainly been lucky to have CHKD nearby, and we recognize what an incredible resource the health system is to our community,” says Meredith. “We are happy to have a meaningful way to express our gratitude and help other families that need CHKD.” Brother agrees. “We know everyone at CHKD is dedicated to providing the best possible care and healing experience to every patient, and we are proud to be a small part of that effort.”

Support for behavioral health

The Chas Foundation presented a $40,000 gift to support CHKD’s behavioral health program this year. Pictured here from left are board members Beth Lloyd and Margaret Ballard, Executive Director Beau Kirkwood, President Tucker Corprew and board member Jane Steinhilber.

“Early intervention is key when it comes to mental health issues, which is one of the many reasons why supporting CHKD aligns with our mission so well.” – Tucker Corprew

F

or Tucker Corprew, supporting CHKD’s behavioral health program is not only a priority, it’s deeply personal.

A native of Norfolk, Tucker spent decades working in the local medical community while raising her three sons. When her middle son Charles (Chas) Kirkwood, who had suffered from mental health challenges since childhood, ultimately lost his life to suicide at the age of 34, Tucker channeled her devastation into advocacy.

She and her youngest son, Beau Kirkwood, established The Chas Foundation in Chas’ memory – a grassroots movement dedicated to helping families find effective treatment for their loved ones with behavioral health challenges.

“Early intervention is key when it comes to mental health issues, which is one of the many reasons why supporting CHKD aligns with our mission so well,” says Tucker, president of The Chas Foundation. “As a mother who has experienced the difficulties of getting mental health services for her child, I know how critical it is to support CHKD’s expansion of pediatric behavioral health services.”

“One in five children has a diagnosable mental health condition,” says Stephanie Osler, director of integrated behavioral and social support services at CHKD. “With the help of community partners like Tucker, Beau and their board members, we are working 20

Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters

together to meet the growing demand for our program’s services and delivering evidence-based, mental health services to more local children.”

Support from The Chas Foundation has helped CHKD provide advanced training and education for behavioral health providers as well as specialized behavioral health training for CHKD pediatricians.

“CHKD’s program is making it possible for more local children to start getting the care they need sooner, which is crucial in helping these children live happy, successful lives,” says Beau, the foundation’s executive director. “By providing mental health training to more physicians, there is a wider network of professionals who can help address this critical need.”

“CHKD is an invaluable resource for families facing lifethreatening illnesses of all kinds – including mental health challenges – and The Chas Foundation is proud to support the collaborative and innovative work CHKD is doing to help children and their families,” says Tucker.

“We know that supporting CHKD benefits the overall health and well-being of the entire community, and we share the hospital’s commitment to help local children find a way through their most challenging health crises,” says Beau.

Family’s cancer connection inspires support

Jake Magarity understands the important role CHKD plays in the health of Virginia’s children.

It’s such a family-focused environment, and that definitely helps in the healing.” – Jake Magarity

I

n 2005, Jake Magarity, a Richmond-based businessman and father of four daughters, established Footprints in the Sand, a foundation that would allow his family to support organizations serving those in need. So when friend and business associate Jamie Brookover of Norfolk Wire & Electronics asked Jake to get involved in a golf tournament to benefit CHKD, it was an easy decision.

“At that time, all I knew was that CHKD was a worthwhile organization, and I wanted to make sure the tournament made its goal,” says Jake. “I had no idea how personal my relationship with the hospital would become.”

Less than two years later, David Simone, a very close friend of Jake’s daughter, Makenna, was diagnosed with cancer.

“It was such a shock. David was a healthy, athletic kid just starting out in life,” says Jake. “David and Makenna had such a tight-knit relationship for so many years; he was like part of our family.”

David was 20 years old when he was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma – most often a childhood cancer.

As the largest pediatric cancer program in the region, CHKD is the facility of choice for young people of all ages facing a cancer diagnosis. David’s treatment included eight months of

chemotherapy and seven hospitalizations. The Magarity family was by his side every step of the way.

“Through that experience, I saw firsthand what kids and families fighting cancer go through. They have so much courage,” says Jake. “I also got to see all the special things CHKD does to care for them. It’s such a family-focused environment, and that definitely helps in the healing.”

Since then, Jake’s foundation has continued to support CHKD through the Norfolk Wire & Electronics golf tournament and, more recently, as a matching gift partner for CHKD’s annual Radiothon. For one hour of the 33-hour-long fundraising event, his foundation matches every dollar pledged over the phone, and funds are designated to the Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at CHKD. “David successfully completed his treatment and is now cancer-free. But, there are a lot more Davids out there,” says Jake.

“I hope to make a positive difference for these children through my donations.”

When Jake and his family started Footprints in the Sand, they wanted to support the organizations that could do the most good with the funds they were given. “CHKD is one of those places,” says Jake. “So much good work happens there.”
