As you read this issue of About Children’s you will notice a common theme: generous donors make possible our work on behalf of children and their families. Everywhere you look at Children’s Hospital of Michigan, you’ll see evidence of donor generosity – from the molecu-lar biology experiments we’re conducting in our research laboratories to the new Family Center on the fourth floor. Through their contributions, our donors are involved in everything from programs that directly benefit our young patients to cutting-edge research. Their support has been truly overwhelming. In this issue you’ll read about individuals, families, corporations and non-profit groups working together to support the mission of Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Sometimes they organize events and raise funds on our behalf. Other times they make generous contributions from their personal savings. But either way, we couldn’t provide Michigan’s most advanced pediatric care without them. We appreciate their support – and yours. Sincerely,

The Children’s Hospital of Michigan After Hours Kid Care clinic in Southfield provides expert care for urgent needs, from bumps and bruises to allergies and colds. And best of all, they’re open when most pediatrician’s offices are closed – no appointments are necessary. After Hours Kid Care is staffed by pediatricians and specially trained pediatric nurses, so you know they’re experts in kid care. And they have direct access to the full resources of Children’s Hospital of Michigan – just in case. The next time your child needs help in a hurry, turn to After Hours Kid Care from Children’s Hospital of Michigan. They accept most insurance plans and no appointment is necessary.

ane Dittus knew something was wrong with her 10-year-old daughter Katie. Her smile looked crooked and even though she managed

to sing in the choir that morning at Kirk in the Hills Church, she slept all afternoon and had a terrible headache. The next day, Katie’s pediatrician ordered a CAT scan and discovered a brain tumor. “He said, “‘If this was my child, I’d head to Children’s Hospital of Michigan right now,’” recalled Jane. ‘“They are equipped to handle this stuff. Go home and pack.’’’ And he was right. We couldn’t have gotten better care anywhere else.” The doctors at Children’s Hospital of Michigan had Katie in the operating room the very next morning. After the surgery, Katie went through five weeks of daily radiation treatments and a year of chemotherapy – and she never missed swim practice at the Bloomfield Surf Club throughout the whole time.

Today, Katie is an active 15-year-old in the tenth grade at Lahser High School who is busy with dance lessons, homework and serving as the first youth elder at her church. Her dream is to attend a small college and teach the third grade. The Dittus Family feels a deep connection with the hospital. Last Christmas, they held a party and collected toys for hospitalized patients. They have also participated in fundraising events that helped raise more than $50,000 for Leukemia Research Life, an organization that supports medical research at Children’s. “My experience at the hospital was great,” said Katie. “At first, I was afraid. But everybody told me that everything would be ok and I believed them. Now, when I go back there, everybody recognizes me and tells me I look good. And I feel good. In a way, going back there feels like going home.”

very superhero needs a sidekick. Thanks to new technology a pilot group of superhero physicians at Children’s Hospital of Michigan now have their own

sidekicks – robots that help them provide expert care at any hour of the day or night. A pair of five-foot-tall, 200-pound robots are currently being tested by six pediatric specialty surgeons at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. While the robots don’t have any superpowers, they’re enabling the busy surgeons to be in more than one place at a time. “If a patient comes into the emergency room and needs to be seen by a neurosurgeon, the surgeon can see that patient almost immediately – even if he’s in another part of the hospital or at home,” says Michael Klein, M.D., Surgeon-in-Chief at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. “The benefit to the patient is they get to see the most expert person more quickly and more often than they normally would,” says Dr. Klein. With a computer screen for a head and a real-time video camera for eyes and ears, the robots can be operated by remote control from another part of the hospital or even from home. The hospital currently has two robots – one in the Emergency Department and another on the fifth floor, but wireless internet technology throughout the hospital means the robots can go anywhere in the building. The surgeons participating in the robot pilot currently have remote control systems in their homes. A remote control system is also available in the surgical suite at Children’s Hospital of Michigan – enabling the surgeons to visit patients via the robot when they are between surgical procedures. According to Dr. Klein, other DMC hospitals will soon have their own robots. These mobile robots extend the robotic technology launched at Children’s Hospital in 2002 with its nationally – leading Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation Computer-Assisted Robot-Enhanced Surgery Program.

he Family Center at Children’s Hospital of Michigan recently got an extreme makeover – a remarkable renovation that’s helping the families of seriously ill patients.

In November, the Family Center was re-opened after an extensive renovation aimed at giving families a more comfortable place to rest and relax. The 3,300-square-foot space is located between the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). “The Family Center is intended to provide a safe haven for families who are here with their children through very serious illnesses,” says Bev Crider, manager of Family Centered Care at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. “It’s understandable that parents and family members don’t want to be far away when a child is critically ill. But families still need time to rest and recharge.” Before the renovation, the Family Center was just a large, open space with couches, televisions and a playhouse for kids. According to Celia Thurston, manager of Spiritual Care at Children’s Hospital of Michigan, the old space wasn’t designed for large numbers of families in stressful situations. It was overly lit and frequently noisy. “The space just wasn’t working for the families. The environment needed to support families in crisis. You do that by thinking about their needs,” Celia says. Families with critically ill children require gathering space and quiet

places to rest, as well as essentials like showers, lockers, bathrooms, linens, snacks, and coffee.

Family�Center�Gets�Extreme�Makeover

A donor’s visit made this all happen.

MAKING IT POSSIBLE

Sharing thoughts about their baby – the parents pictured here – are seated in the Hockeytown Kids Wing. Children’s Hospital of Michigan was grateful to receive a wonderful gift

from a generous friend in the community who strongly believed in the need to redesign the space. Bathrooms and showers were added. Separate spaces were created to give families more privacy and more options. The Detroit Red Wings also “hit the ice” with additional funding that enabled the construction of the Hockeytown Kids Wing, a special area of the Family Center with bistro tables, a big-screen TV and lots of Detroit Red Wing memorabilia. “Providing for the family is one more way we care for children,” says Bev Crider. “The family is the constant in the child’s life. Doctors, teachers and therapists all come and go, but family is the one thing that remains constant. So it’s important that we support families while they care for their children.”

An anonymous donor’s commitment to the renovation of the Family Center led to the partnership with the Detroit Red Wings. According to Anne Marie Krappmann, Community Relations Manager of the Detroit Red Wings, the hockey team’s donation came from a giving program called the Red Wings Wish Club. Through the program, fans who make a minimal donation to Children’s Hospital of Michigan can have a message posted on the scoreboard during Red Wings games. “Over the years, we’ve raised quite a bit of money through the Wish Club,” Anne Marie says. “And when we heard about the renovation project with the Family Center, we took a portion of the proceeds and put it toward building the Hockeytown Kids Wing.” A special thanks to the Red Wings and our anonymous friend!

s Children’s Hospital pediatrician, Dr. Teresa Holtrop immunized kids in one Detroit public school last fall, the school principal told her a heart-wrenching story.

“He said that sometimes kids were out of school for weeks at a time because parents hadn’t gotten them immunized and back into school,” said Dr. Holtrop, the medical director of the CATCH Pediatric Mobile Health Programs at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. “We tend not to talk about this stuff, but it’s an issue we all have to face.” In a massive immunization blitz last fall, the hospital, in collaboration with a number of organizations, including the Detroit Public Schools and Henry Ford Health System, met that issue head-on. The immunization blitz was one of many mobile health activities made possible by a five-year $1-million grant from the CATCH Charity and a $1-million grant from the Henry Ford II Foundation. As a result, 1,350 kids got the immunizations they needed to stay in school and stay healthy. Five teams visited 110 Detroit public schools with the greatest need for immunizations, including Webster, Campbell and Dewey Schools, from September 20 to October 15. “This was way beyond a traditional school immunization fair,” said Dr. Holtrop, the mother of two daughters. “It almost felt like a military operation, with the goal being to update immunization records and immunizations in kids.” To get the job done, the teams set up computers, phone banks and coolers with dry ice to transport chicken-pox vaccine at a central location dubbed “Ground Zero”. Wayne State University pre-med and medical students volunteered their time and helped with crowd control. Not only did kids get vaccina-tions, the teams helped to update databases on immunization records for more than 3,000 children. At Biddle Elementary School, one mom came in with three children. Only one child was registering for school, but the team took care of all of her kids.

First-ever�Immunization��Blitz�A�Collaborative�Effort

“She was so happy that we were there,” recalled Dr. Holtrop. “We encountered a lot of grateful parents.” As Dr. Holtrop puts it, the effort was “all about mobilizing a whole community to make something work for kids.” “What this says about Children’s Hospital of Michigan is that we’re not just our four walls,” she said. “We reach into the community and work collaboratively with other organizations. We work as advocates to effect changes in systems that improve the health of children.” The best news for parents and kids is that there are plans for a second immunization blitz in September 2005.

CATCH EXPANDS MISSION When former Detroit Tiger manager Sparky Anderson created his CATCH Charity for Children in 1987, his goal was to help Detroit’s neediest kids. The CATCH safety net expanded in September 2004 with the launching of the CATCH Pediatric Mobile Health Programs, an outreach initiative in collaboration with Children’s Hospital of Michigan and Henry Ford Health System. This unique program brings free basic health services to children who experience barriers to healthcare, including lack of transportation and no insurance. CATCH says it is responding to a “need that is staggering.” Prior to the CATCH sponsored immunization blitz Detroit’s children were suffering from rates of immunization lower than anywhere else in the U.S., other than Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana. They also suffer higher rates of lead poisoning and asthma. “The expansion of our mission not only helps service a need, it echoes what Sparky envisioned when he started CATCH and that’s to provide assistance to the neediest children in our own backyard,” said CATCH Board Chairman Edsel B. Ford II.

aul Yanouni of Grosse Pointe Woods led a simple life. He didn’t believe in spending money on frivolous luxuries. When something broke, he fixed it.

He was frugal – but not out of necessity. When the 75-year-old retired barber died in April 2004, he left a sizeable inheritance to Children’s Hospital of Michigan. “My Uncle Paul never had children, he never married,” says Marie Pellerito of Rochester. “But he always had a soft spot for children, especially children with health problems.” In his last days, Mr. Yanouni told his niece and nephews – Marie, Frank and Paul Pellerito – that he’d decided to leave a portion of his estate to Children’s Hospital of Michigan. They understood their uncle’s wishes and honored his request by attending to the designation of this gift to Children’s Hospital of Michigan. The Yanouni family has a history of a rare bone defect called osteogenisis imperfecta. Over the years, many members of the family have suffered with the disease – including Marie. “When I was a child, I was breaking bones every six months,” she says. “Uncle Paul saw me, he saw the suffering and I think that’s one of the reasons

he wanted to help kids with health problems.” Mr. Yanouni’s generous donation will be utilized to establish the Yanouni/Pellerito Program for Nutrition and Bone Health in Children. The money will support research into osteogenesis imperfecta and other bone

deficiencies. “Much of Uncle Paul’s money was

passed down to him by his parents and I think he felt obligated to pass that money along. He wanted to leave behind a legacy – not just for him, but a legacy for his entire family.” For more information on making a planned gift to Children’s Hospital of Michigan, please contact Jodi Wong at 313-745-5855.

atherine Sherbin, 13, wanted to do something special for Children’s Hospital of Michigan patients as she celebrated her recent Bat Mitzvah.

So the seventh-grader at Derby Middle School in Birmingham decided to put together special backpacks filled with goodies for teenage patients as part of her community-service requirement. She asked a dozen local businesses to make contributions of things like videotapes, caps and lip gloss, and put together 50 backpacks. “My sisters have been patients at the hospital and I know that place is amazing,” said Katherine. “That’s what inspired me. It felt awesome to know I was doing something good for other kids.” Katherine said she also wanted to follow in the footsteps of her family when it came to supporting the hospital. Katherine’s father Aaron is the past president of the Festival of Trees board of directors and her family, along with the Keywell and Purther families, sponsored a hydrocephalus conference and lecture series. But the backpacks were only part of the teen’s plan to help other kids. During her Bat Mitzvah, Katherine also asked that, in lieu of giving her a gift, each of her friends bring a board game to donate

to the hospital. The games – more than 300 – filled the family’s entire GMC Yukon. “It was just perfect,” said her mother, Elizabeth. “We are so involved in the hospital that it was a natural fit for her.”

Dear Friends at Children’s:

Our 4-year-old Peter was smiling as he left

Children’s Hospital of Michigan last October after his

“trach party.” The “trach party” was a celebration of

Peter having endured over 20 surgeries and multiple

hospitalizations that finally allowed him to breathe without

a tracheostomy tube.

Peter was born prematurely with Goldenhar Spectrum,

a craniofacial condition characterized by abnormal

development of the head and back, including asymmetry

of the face. At birth he was missing his left ear and ear

canal, and had a cleft palate, spinal fusions and an under-

developed jaw. He also suffered from kidney problems,

hypertension and cysts in both eyes.

To have the trach tube removed, Peter underwent

several reconstructive surgeries on his jaw. He was unable

to suck, swallow, and breathe simultaneously and was

fed through a tube since birth. Now Peter is beginning to

take small bites of food and is working toward eating

independently.

Today, Peter is cognitively normal and enjoys every-

thing typical of a boy his age. He is attending his first

year of preschool and loves to visit his grandparents and

play with friends. He also enjoys anything with wheels,

especially fire trucks.

We feel a great deal of gratitude to many of the care-

givers at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Peter’s doctors,

nurses and countless other support staff ensure that his

complex medical needs are not only met but exceeded.

Thanks again for all your kindness, expertise and support!

Sincerely,

here’s an expression in India: “It is written upon your forehead.” It means something is fate, destiny. That’s how Yaddanapudi Ravindranath, M.D. – or Dr. Ravi,

for short – feels about his wife, Kanta Bhambhani, M.D., and the way they met at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Both physicians are from India, but he is from the South and she is from the North. “In the normal course of events in India, I don’t think we would have met,” Dr. Ravi says. “You could say it was fate that we came all this way to meet here.” Dr. Bhambhani agrees. “Absolutely. There is no way we would have met in India.” But, for two young physicians dedicated to helping kids with cancer and blood diseases, Children’s Hospital of Michigan was the perfect place to meet. They met in 1971 when Dr. Ravi was an attending physician at Children’s Hospital of Michigan and the young Dr. Bhambhani was a resident. They had a professional relationship for a few years, then became closer in 1975. They were married the next year. Since then, the hematology/oncology spe-cialists have worked together to provide expert care to children with cancer, leukemia, sickle cell anemia and other blood diseases. Additionally, Dr. Ravi conducts basic research to better under-stand blood diseases at a molecular and genetic level. Dr. Ravi holds The Georgie Ginopolis Endowed Chair in Pediatric Cancer and Hematology. Dr. Bhambhani is involved in the clinical investigation of new therapies. “Children’s Hospital of Michigan has been a wonderful place for us,” Dr. Ravi says. “I don’t think we’d change a thing.”

Caring�Pairing:�From�India�with�Love���

TRAVELING TOGETHER Drs. Ravi and Bhambhani love children...and travel. “Travel is a very important part of our lives,” Dr. Bhambhani says. The couple went to Africa last year. Previous adventures took them to South America, Europe and the Far East. Dr. Ravi even credits his adventurous spirit with his decision to study medicine in the United States. “When I was a boy in India my father brought home this educational film about Yellowstone National Park. There is no question that it influenced my decision to study in the United States. One thing I definitely wanted to see was Old Faithful.” And he did. It was one of the first trips he took after coming to America.

ant to find out how much kids love Joey Harrington? Just go to a Detroit Lions home game and count the number of children in the stands

wearing the young quarterback’s #3 jersey. It’ll be halftime before you’re done. And it seems the feeling is mutual – Joey loves kids too. “I’ve always liked working with kids,” the Lions quarterback says. “Back in Oregon, I worked with the Shriner’s Children’s Hospital there. And when I came to Detroit my rookie year, I knew I’d get involved with Children’s Hospital of Michigan eventually.” But he didn’t know he’d soon be spending time in the hospital himself. In December of his rookie season, Joey experienced an irregular heartbeat during a game against Tampa Bay. He left the game and was transported to a local hospital, where he later had a cardiac ablation procedure to repair an electrical disturbance in his heart. Joey missed the last two games of that season, but made a complete recovery. Now, in his characteristic positive attitude, he sees only the good that came out of it. “After I had my heart procedure, that’s when it hit me that I could really do some good with this,” he says. “I can tell kids who are going through the same type of procedure that ‘hey, I’ve been through it and everything turned out OK.’” Since then, Joey has found other ways to help kids. In 2002, he and his family established the Joey Harrington Family Foundation to support local and national non-profit organizations working to improve healthcare and education for children. The foundation has made financial donations to many children’s organizations, including a $25,000 gift towards the purchase of a special cryoblation machine for the Pediatric Cardiology program at Children’s Hospital of Michigan.

Joey Facts✪ He plays classical and jazz piano.

✪ His second cousin is PGA golfer Padraig Harrington.

✪ In 2003, he appeared in a Disney commercial for the release of “The Lion King” on DVD.

✪ He’s one of only 3 quarterbacks in Lions history to throw for 3,000 yards in a season.

ohn D. Baker, M.D. has spent the last 36 years helping patients with eye problems. But the pediatric ophthalmolo-gist now has a different sort of vision on his mind – the

long-term vision for Children’s Hospital of Michigan. After serving the hospital on both hospital and board committees for several years, Dr. Baker was recently appointed Chairman of the Board. In addition to his new leadership role, Dr. Baker will continue to practice pediatric ophthalmology and teach ophthalmology residents

when they come to Children’s. “I came to Children’s Hospital in 1966 and I just fell in love with the place,” says Dr. Baker. “And the love is still there. I just enjoy being in the presence of all the people that choose to work here.” As Chairman, Dr. Baker and his fellow board members see a number of challenges and opportunities for Children’s Hospital of Michigan in the coming years. The first and perhaps most urgent is the need to expand the hospital. “The number of children the hospital is serving continues to grow. The number of services we’re providing continues to

grow,” he says. “In order to continue that growth and serve the children of Michigan and the surrounding states, we need to add space to the hospital.” The board and hospital administrators are looking at a number of ways to expand the physical structure of the hospital and provide a more comfortable environment for patients and their families. Other opportunities for the hospital include developing a system of outpatient clinics in the suburbs, continuing to recruit world-renowned physicians and researchers, and continuing to invest in new technologies and new research. While he says there is much to be done, Dr. Baker sees a bright future for the hospital – largely because of the men and women who work at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. “The hospital is really blessed because it truly works as a family,” he says. “Everyone involved with the hospital is here because they believe in what we are doing.”

A Tribute to Our Past Chair After more than 20 years of service to the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Board of Trustees – with four of those years as Chairman of the Board – William P. MacKinnon recently concluded his service to the board. Under his leadership, the services of Children’s Hospital of Michigan grew dramatically in both volume and variety. In a resolution, the Board of Trustees unanimously expressed their heartfelt appreciation to Mr. MacKinnon. “He has been a tireless and effective advocate for Children’s Hospital’s mission areas,” the board resolved. “We wish him Godspeed in his future endeavors as a leader in family life, charitable service, leadership in industry and scholarly pursuits.”

Firefighters�Support���Pediatric�Burn�Center�

any professions show their support for Children’s Hospital of Michigan with fundraising events, but few do more for the hospital than metro Detroit firefighters.

Dan McNamara, president of the Detroit Firefighters Association, explains that firefighters from many different fire departments are interested in helping Children’s Hospital of Michigan. “When we make a rescue, we’re concerned about the child,” McNamara says. “Our concern doesn’t stop at the doorstep when we hand the child off to the ambulance. We want to follow through and make sure that child receives the best care so they can get back to a healthy lifestyle.” As he sees it, the best way to do that is by raising money for the Burn Center at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. McNamara’s Detroit Firefighters organization is one of many local firefighter groups raising money to support Children’s Hospital of Michigan. McNamara himself is the founder of the annual Detroit Firefighters softball tournament that has raised more than $500,000 over the last 24 years. “It’s a big event every year,” he says. “Firefighters come from across the United States and Canada to compete in the tournament and help us raise money.” All proceeds go to Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Other local fire departments also raise funds for the hospital. From 1997 to 2002, Dearborn Firefighters established and funded a $125,000 endowment to

benefit the hospital. They continue to raise money for the Burn Center at Children’s Hospital of Michigan with

annual events including a Valentine’s Day Dinner Dance and an Annual Car Raffle.

Even individual firefighters and their families often join together to help the hospital. When veteran Detroit firefighter David Palm, Sr. died in April 2004, his friends and family knew how to honor his memory. They threw a party and raised more than $20,000 for the Burn Center at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. The party is now an annual fundraising event. In 2005, they more than doubled their first event, raising $50,000.

lthough there was a giant ribbon wrapped around the shiny, new Little Tikes® playscape, the energetic children from Bennett Elementary

School in southwest Detroit couldn’t resist sneaking under it to explore their new playground. A warm afternoon in October 2004 provided the set-ting for the official dedication ceremony and community build day to put the finishing touches on the brand new playground at the school. Dozens of children, community volunteers and Allstate employees worked side by side with Children’s Hospital of Michigan volunteers laying sod, spreading mulch, planting flowers and designing a children’s garden before cutting the ribbon and letting the kids loose to play. “The kids were so excited to help build their own playground,” said Sue Smith, RN, MSN, Trauma Coordinator at Children’s. “The students used to play on an empty gravel lot or in the streets. Children’s is committed to preventing injuries in children and building a safe playground is a great way to do that.” In November 2002, Children’s Hospital of Michigan was named a national site of the Injury Free Coalition for Kids. This prestigious and competitive grant award is a $15 million national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that is designed to reduce and prevent injuries to children. Our affiliation with the Injury Free Coalition for Kids qualified us to apply for a grant from the Allstate Foundation to build a playground. “At Allstate, our world is about being there for the customer when something happens – helping them put their lives back together,” says Bill Ballinger, North Central Region Assistant Vice President at Allstate Insurance Company. “We can rebuild a house, we can fix cars, but we can’t repair bodies and we can’t replace lives. That’s why we’ve worked in recent years to prevent injuries, accidents and fires.” Children’s Hospital of Michigan shares Allstate’s commitment to injury prevention. “We would rather meet children out in the community and keep them from getting injured than meet them in our emergency department after an injury,” said Smith. Community businesses including B and L Landscaping of Oak Park and Home Depot also contributed to the playground. Two of the children that helped build the

playground at Bennett Elementary.

A former Children’s Hospital of Michigan volunteer continues to help kids – by making a $50,000 donation to the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Foundation. “I just feel wonderful when I’m helping people,” said Patricia Rodzik of Bloomfield Hills. In recognition of her generous gift, the Hospital plans to name a room in the Emergency Department after Patricia’s grandchildren for a period of five years. In addition to her donation, Patricia helps children by serving on the Board of Directors of the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Foundation. She also spends time with her four grandchildren, the inspiration for her gift to the Foundation. “I’ve been very blessed,” she said. “And blessings are meant to be shared.” Patricia’s gift was doubled, thanks to a matching gift provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The funds will be used to support the Injury Free Coalition for Kids program at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation challenges Children’s to secure a $50,000 gift each year for the duration of the grant period. Patricia’s gift satisfies this requirement for 2004. Giving opportunities for 2005 and 2006 still exist.

he Detroit Medical Center’s popular 29-Minute Emergency Depart-ment Guarantee is now available at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. When a child visits the Emergency Department at Children’s

Hospital, he or she will be seen by a pediatric emergency physician within 29 minutes. That’s a promise. While the guarantee seems like a customer service initiative, the director of the Emergency Department at Children’s Hospital of Michigan says it’s more about quality than convenience. “Our 29-minute guarantee benefits patients as a quality initiative rather than just a convenience initiative,” says Steve Knazik, D.O. “Although it happens to be more convenient for families to be seen sooner, in emergency medicine we believe that seeing patients sooner also improves the quality of the care we deliver.” Since launching the 29-Minute Guarantee in January, the Emergency Department has met its goal 95 percent of the time. And it often exceeds the 29-minute target. The average wait time in the Emergency Department to see a doctor is now only 13 minutes. According to Dr. Knazik, the short wait times are made possible by an Emergency Department expansion – 18 new exam rooms were added in late

2004. Plus, the Emergency Department recently imple-mented new registration, admission and triage processes as well as increased staff levels. “But it’s really a hospital-wide process. It’s not just the Emergency Department that made changes to make this happen,” Dr. Knazik says. “Everyone in the hospital has done their part to make it possible.”

hen Scott and Karyn Grodman learned their two young sons had diabetes, the West Bloomfield couple was shocked. They had no family history of diabetes. And even though Scott is a physician, he and his wife had limited

understanding of the disease. “We went through a five-day hospital program to learn how to manage a child with diabetes,” Dr. Grodman says. “But after we got through the training, we went home and looked at each other and said, ‘This is it? This is all we can do?’” It wasn’t. They decided to start raising money for juvenile diabetes research. “I enjoy running so we got some family and friends together and had a fundraising event,” Dr. Grodman says. “We invited people to our house and we had our first run. It was a simple event. We fed them and we ran and we raised money – and we quickly found out that people were extremely eager to help in any way they could.” About 40 people showed up that first year. In the 12 years since, the event has grown each year. In 2004, almost 400 people participated in the run. The annual event is now the primary source of revenue for the Grodman Cure Foundation. Through the foundation, the Grodmans have pledged $200,000 over five years to fund diabetes research at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. “We linked up with Children’s Hospital a few years ago and they’ve been very supportive of our efforts,” Dr. Grodman says. “Doing this helps with the research and it helps raise awareness. It’s just something we have to do.” The diabetes research effort at Children’s Hospital of Michigan is directed by Scott A. Gruber, M.D., Ph.D., FACS, FCP, Professor and Chief of Transplant Surgery at Wayne State University School of Medicine. Dr. Gruber has assembled an outstanding team of investigators conducting cutting-edge research in the area of pancreatic islet cell manipulation and diabetes epidemiology. The goal of the research is to better understand, prevent and treat insulin- dependent diabetes. The next Grodman Cure Foundation event is “Skate@TheJoe” scheduled for April 10 at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. Please call 248-366-6904 or visit the web site Skate@TheJoe: www.helpingothers foundation.org for more information.

Lisa Jesswein grew up at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Born with kidney dysplasia, she visited the hospital for monitoring, dialysis or transplant care almost every week from age 7 to 22. Today, Lisa is a popular Detroit radio personality. As the co-host of “Blaine and Lisa in the Morning” on 96.3 WDVD-FM, she sometimes talks on air about her experiences at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. At 38, she’s healthy and still actively involved with the hospital – helping with fundraising efforts and encouraging people to consider organ donation.

In 1967, physicians at Children’s Hospital of Michigan learned that Danielle Wheatley Gehlert had a Wilms tumor on her kidney. She was 2 years old. Within 24 hours, surgeons successfully removed the tumor and her kidney. She returned to Children’s Hospital of Michigan regularly for check ups until she was 16. Today, Danielle, 39, is a dentist in St. Clair Shores. She and her husband, Guy, have three young children and she has fond memories of Children’s Hospital of Michigan. “Every time I went there, it was a very special experience for me,” Danielle says. “I just loved going to the hospital, even though I was getting blood drawn and having tests done. The doctors and nurses made me feel so special.”

Denzel and Kiara Canales of Detroit were each diagnosed with sickle cell anemia when they were infants. They’ve been frequent patients at Children’s Hospital of Michigan ever since. But it hasn’t slowed down these incredible kids! At 13, Denzel is in a gifted program at school and hopes to attend Stanford University to study aerospace engineering... or orthopedic surgery. Not to be outdone, 10-year- old Kiara reads at a seventh-grade level and dreams of going to Princeton University to become a lawyer.

After his neck was broken in two places during an auto accident at 13, John J. Hertel spent 10 weeks at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. But months of physical therapy – and the support of family, friends, doctors and nurses – led to a full recovery. Today, John is a high school English teacher – running the drama program at his school and coaching junior varsity football. He and his wife, Amy, live in Richmond, Mich.

Enzymes Not Genes In our winter issue, the headline on page 26 stated: “Gene Therapy Helps Local Family Break Cycle.” It should have said: “Enzyme Replacement Therapy Helps Local Family Break Cycle.” Also, patient Ricardo Engel is not the youngest child in the world to have enzyme replacement therapy (as the Winter 2004 story states). Ricardo is one of the youngest children in the United States to have enzyme replacement therapy for Fabry Disease. Finally, on page 26, the story about Dr. Ayesha Ahmad suggests that the Genetic Center of Excellence at Children’s Hospital of Michigan is set up to treat diseases such as “diabetes, strokes and cleft lip-and-palate.” More accurately, we should have simply stated “the Genetic Center of Excellence is designed to provide coordinated care for children with genetic and metabolic disorders.”

Employee and Physician Donors

The employees and physicians of Children’s Hospital of Michigan are passionate about helping children and their families. These professionals demonstrate their dedication not only by caring for kids on a daily basis, but through generous philanthropic support as well. Their gifts of time, talent and treasure go above and beyond the call of duty. To all of our Children’s Hospital of Michigan employees and physicians, thank you!

As a nurse practitioner in the Endocrinology Division at Children’s Hospital of Michigan, Joy Sneyd knows that children sometimes have difficulty managing their diabetes. Some low-income families don’t have telephones and can’t easily contact a healthcare provider with questions about diabetes care. So Joy decided to do something about it. Working with others in the community, she started raising money to provide pre-paid phone cards to families in need. Today that program has evolved into a toll-free number so parents can report their child’s blood sugar level by making free calls to the Endocrinology Medical Team. Joy’s efforts also provide resources to send kids with diabetes to summer camp. The Diabetes Educational Fund also provides families with educational materials at the time of diagnosis. Thanks, Joy!

In Memory – James Lloyd, M.D. James R. Lloyd, M.D., a pioneer in the treatment of burn injuries and the former Director of the Burn Center at Children’s Hospital of Michigan died on December 9, 2004. Dr. Lloyd was a pilot in the United States Army Air Force, who upon his return from World War II, pursued a degree in medicine. He joined Children’s Hospital of Michigan, Wayne State University and the Detroit Medical Center in 1959 and was amongst the first of those trained in pediatric surgery. Working together with Clifford D. Benson, M.D., Dr. Lloyd played a key role in establishing the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Pediatric Surgery Residency Program. He practiced pediatric surgery and taught until his retirement in 1986. Dr. Lloyd was responsible for many innovations and advances in pediatric surgery including the treatment of pyloric stenosis and the pathophysiology of necrotizing enterocolitis. He is remembered most for his contributions to the care of burns. Dr. Lloyd was the lead investigator in the use of Silver Sulfadiazine therapy, teaching doctors and nurses burn wound care and application of impregnated Silvadene dressings. Dr. Lloyd was an exemplary physician, surgeon, teacher, mentor, and human being who will truly be missed by his family, colleagues and friends.

or Jim Carr, fundraising for Children’s Hospital of Michigan is a family tradition. The 45-year-old has been a member of the Children’s

Hospital of Michigan Foundation Board of Directors since 2004, but his involvement with the hospital dates back to the early 1960s. That’s when his older brother, David, was a patient at the old Children’s Hospital. “David had leukemia. As a boy, I remember going down to the hospital with him and my mom for his treatments,” Jim says. “My mother saw the work they were doing in the hematology clinic and she wanted to help.”

Jim’s mother – Joanne Cline Carr – was a long time volunteer in the hematology-oncology clinic and established the Child Research Center League (the predecessor of the Children’s Research Center of Michigan at Children’s Hospital) to raise money for research into leukemia and other diseases affecting children. Sadly, David died in 1964 at the age of 7, but his mother continued her fundraising work. While it was too late to help her son, she still wanted to help other children. “At the time David was diagnosed, there was less than a 10 percent survival rate for his type of leukemia. But my mom knew there were promising things on the horizon. I think that’s one of the reasons she was so interested in raising funds for research. I think she hoped it would help save David. Unfortunately, time was not on her side.” But her fundraising efforts – and Jim’s later efforts – did help. The type of leukemia that took David’s life in 1964 now has a more than 75 percent survival rate. “So it’s true that research – much of it conducted at Children’s Hospital of Michigan – did exactly what my mom had hoped for. It just took longer than she wanted.” Today, Jim is an investment counselor and he and his wife, Diane, live in Okemos, Michigan and have two sons: Colin, 17, and David, 13. While Joanne Carr passed away in 1998, Jim remembers her daily with his service to Children’s Hospital of Michigan. “I serve on the board to honor my mother and my brother,” Carr says. “It’s a small way I can continue the work my mother started all those years ago.”

oliday cards. The Something Special Gift Shop. Special events. Over the years, the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Auxiliary has found dozens of ways to raise money for the hospital. Over

and over again they’ve shown their commitment to the young patients. Since it was founded in 1949, the Auxiliary has raised over $3.9 million for Children’s Hospital of Michigan. According to Sharna Epstein, president of the Auxiliary, most of the money now comes from gift shop sales. “The gift shop is the largest single source of income that we give back to the hospital,” Sharna says. “And it’s really the people who shop and work in the gift shop who make that possible. The staff there is always very customer oriented. Over time, a lot of warm relationships have developed between patients, families and the staff of the gift shop.” Another major fundraiser for the Auxiliary is designing, printing and selling Children’s Hospital of Michigan holiday cards. In 2004, the Auxiliary sold more holiday cards than ever before – selling out of its entire stock. Funds raised by the Auxiliary go to support many different projects at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. The group will fund three major projects this year, including: 1) purchasing SNUG-CP cotton Lycra® suits that help stabilize the movements of children with cerebral palsy, allowing them to achieve higher levels of mobility and control, 2) purchasing new lab equip-ment that will enable the hospital to be the only center in the state to test infants for a group of inherited medical conditions, which if not diagnosed and treated early in life will result in severe health difficulties and 3) supporting the purchase of a new cutting edge cardiac cryoablation machine which will allow doctors to perform even more precise and less invasive surgeries on children’s hearts. In addition, the Auxiliary will support dozens of other smaller projects in 2005. “We do everything from funding projects that provide for the comfort of patients and families to purchas-ing equipment that provides direct patient care,” Epstein says.
