or the past several years, this has been more than a common construction site sign; it’s
been LifeBridge Health’s unofficial motto. In 2010, we expanded our Women’s Wellness
Center at Northwest Hospital; at the end of 2011, the ribbon was cut at the Households at
Levindale and, just a month later, the first residents started moving in. 2012 is also the year we
unveil the new additions to the Herman & Walter Samuelson Children’s Hospital at Sinai.
You’ve probably seen our banners around town or heard the buzz on campus, but you might not
be aware of the range of care we offer.
We’re one of the nation’s leading pediatric community hospitals, with one of the most respected pediatric residency programs. Over 25,000 outpatients and 30,000 inpatients come
through our doors each year, and it’s not hard to see why: Our pediatric subspecialties range
from cardiology to critical care medicine; neonatology to gastroenterology; endocrinology to
hematology/oncology; orthopedics to neurology and infectious diseases – to name a few. As if all
those “ology’s” weren’t a mouthful, we also host the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and the
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). We even have a pediatric pharmacy.
As a hospital within a hospital, we give our patients access to a full range of professional services. Our full-service staff includes physicians, nurses, anesthesiologists, social workers, child
life professionals, nutritionists, respiratory therapists, occupational and physical therapists – all
of whom are specially trained to work with children. Beyond this, we can help you manage your
child’s education and home care, balance appointments and receive transportation assistance.
We can even help you untangle the knot of insurance issues.
LifeBridge Health employees are stewards of our community. This means being ready to
handle anything that wakes a parent up in the middle of the night, or calls them away from work
right before that 2 p.m. meeting. We work around the clock for our patients at our Pediatric
Emergency Care Center (the only such center in northwest Baltimore). Still, we know that hospitalizations, however brief, make the world feel like a record that’s skipped a beat.
“We recognize that admitting a child to the hospital can feel like a crisis for a family,” explains Trish Leonette, clinical social worker, Pediatrics. “We try to create the best possible experience by making sure the family understands what’s going on and how we’ll help them
through the process.” She adds that, since parents are intimately acquainted with their children’s lives, the information they provide “can be more valuable than medical tests.” The family-centered care philosophy is our guiding light. Our physicians, nurses and social workers do
more than just make time to answer your questions and assuage your concerns, they invite you
onto the treatment team.
“You get a feeling of community here, with the high-quality care of a teaching hospital,” says
Patti Bell, patient care manager of Pediatrics and PICU.
We were one of the first hospitals in the country to let parents sleep at their child’s side in
our PICU – because you don’t want to lose your place in your child’s favorite bedtime story.
Our Children’s Diagnostic Center (CDC) is renowned for its groundbreaking, trauma-free
approach to anesthesia for same-day procedures. As we move into our new digs, the CDC will
be expanding, with one room just for anesthesia. Youngsters will awaken to their parents’ smiling faces. Our children’s hospital delivers care for the body and the spirit.
It’s tempting to say that once the ribbon is cut and the photographers’ flashbulbs have
faded away, our real work begins – the truth is that we built our reputation before the first
brick was laid.
We were one of the first hospitals in the country

Family-centered
Care
E
xcept for a sleepover at her best friend’s house, her first
night in the hospital is the first time she’s ever spent the
night away from home. The only person she wants now
is the one who kisses the nightmares away. Since this little girl
is a patient at the Herman & Walter Samuelson Children’s
Hospital, as soon as she calls for her mother, she’ll feel those
soothing lips on her skin.
Our children’s hospital exemplifies family-centered care,
which is “the practice of including the family in the care of
their child,” explains Trish Leonette, a clinical social worker
in Pediatrics at Sinai. “The Handbook of Child Life,” a seminal textbook in pediatric care, adds that family-centered care
is “based on mutually beneficial partnerships between patients, families and health care professionals.”
After all, Leonette reminds us, family is more attuned to a
2
child’s moods than the treatment team could be. “The information we get from parents can be more valuable than medical tests.” Parents know that their son feels brave enough to
sit for injections when he’s holding his T-Rex doll, or that
their daughter is ignoring her favorite foods. “You know your
kid better than we do,” says Laura Hagan, clinical leader, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). A child is more likely to
open up to the person who tucks him or her in at night than
the nurse the child has just met.
“It’s about building relationships that last,” says Sandi
Foote, whose daughter Rachael was diagnosed with Perthes
disease when she was 5 years old. Perthes disease is a rare condition that obstructs blood supply to the hip, which causes the
rounded head of the femur (the “ball” to the “ball and socket”
joint) to die. When she was 11, her family turned to Sinai and

for Kids
ids and skinned knees are like Batman and Robin;
they just go together.
But, as the dynamic duo’s nemesis, the Riddler, might
say, “Riddle me this”: Are you ready if your son burns
more than his pancakes on your stove top? What if your
daughter sprains an ankle while doing her Hannah Montana impression?
Just as Batman has his utility belt, you should have an
up-to-date first aid kit. It doesn’t need bells or whistles or
even bat-a-rangs, it just needs to be sturdy and portable;
because a bat-signal won't announce when your son steps
on a bee, you'll need to be prepared at a moment's notice.
“It’s important to keep the kit in the same place all of
the time, so no one has to hunt for it when a child is hurt,”
says Annie R. Soriano, M.D., of the Department of
Emergency Medicine at Sinai Hospital. “However, you
should avoid storing it in the bathroom because humidity
can shorten the amount of time that some medicine is effective. It’s also good to have a kit in your car as well.”
While you can customize your kit to fit your kids’ needs,
here are the basic ABCs from the CDC (Centers for
Disease Control):
• Disposable gloves
• Adhesive bandages, multiple sizes
• Gauze
• Adhesive tape
• Elastic bandage wrap for sprains and strains
• Antiseptic and anti-bacterial wipes
• Cotton swabs
• Tweezers
• Scissors
• Antifungal and antibacterial
ointments or creams
• 1% hydrocortisone cream
• Anti-itch gel or cream for insect
bites and stings
• Aloe gel for sunburns
• Moleskin or molefoam for blisters
• Digital thermometer
• Saline eye drops
• Sunscreen
• First aid quick reference card
4
“Many people wonder if a first aid kit for kids is different
than one for adults. The answer is no,” says Soriano.
“However, children under 18 shouldn't be given aspirin.”
Now that you have your kit, you may be wondering how
you actually use it. Most YMCAs and YWCAs have basic
first aid training classes. Sinai Hospital has also hosted
classes on infant and child CPR (to learn when the next
class starts, check out the community calendar on our
website, lifebridgehealth.org). Kidshealth.org has a first
aid and safety center that will give you pivotal information
in simple, easily remembered terms. They’ll tell you what
to do if your child has broken a bone or been stung by a
bee. Knowing these essentials can help you keep calm, cool
and collected when you're tempted to feel anything but.
Soriano’s final piece of advice is to have your
pediatrician’s phone number at the ready, as well as the
Maryland Poison Center’s hotline number, which is
1-800-222-1222. You may not don Batman’s cowl or
even Robin’s tights every day, but with a little preparation,
you can be your children's superhero when they really
need you. ■

After years of treatment, Rachael can enjoy
everyday tasks that most of us take for granted, like bending
down to tie her shoes and walking upstairs without clutching
the banister. She has her learner’s permit and doesn’t need a
handicapped parking pass. Rachael is also going above and
beyond the day-to-day by learning to snowboard.
“Sinai has changed my life. I can do things that every other kid can do, and
I’m not in pain. It’s all because of Sinai.”
Rachael Foote, 15
“Regardless of where you are, Sinai is worth the trip. It’s the only place I would

Michael Grasso was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma,
stage 1, in March 2009, when he was just 14 years old. His
family found friends and allies in the Sinai Hospital staff.
Michael has been in remission for two and a half years. Along
with some other young patients, he was asked to give input
into the expansion of our children’s hospital.
“The staff was always smiling so you felt safe when you’re there. Everyone
there is always just so friendly and caring. I think
the new children’s hospital will be
a better experience if you have to

When Tovah Lynch was just 16 years old, she was diagnosed

at the Samuelson Children’s Hospital, and the staff, especially her nurses, became like family to her.
Now a 28-year-old survivor, Tovah remains
incredibly grateful for the care she received.
“The staff at Sinai’s Children’s Hospital did more than
take care of me physically. They treated me like a person,
not a disease. Ten years after completing my treatment, I
still consider everyone at the children’s hospital family.

quality of care that I have received has been amazing. I am very excited about
the expansion of the children’s hospital. I feel that it’s a wonderful opportunity
for the community.”

“The quality of care we have received at the children’s hospital has been
wonderful. Everyone is professional but at the same time you feel like you are

Keeping Spirits High
Bringing laughter
t the Herman & Walter Samuelson Children’s Hospital, state-of-the-art has heart and soul. Hospitalizations can be daunting for adults, but for our
younger patients – who are separated from friends, classmates and beloved pets; who miss out on field trips and
birthday parties; who feel they’ve lost all that’s fun about
being a kid – it can be downright traumatic. That’s why we
want our young patients – whether they’re little enough to
love a Disney princess or old enough for the fashion tips
in Seventeen magazine – to feel like themselves.
“The goal is to bring laughter and smiles to children in
the hospital,” says Julie Bender, who was a clinical social
worker at Sinai Hospital for eight years before joining the
team at Hope for Henry (HFH). According to its website,
“HFH improves the lives of children with cancer and other
serious illnesses by providing carefully chosen gifts and specially designed programs to entertain and promote comfort, care and recovery.” The program was founded in
honor of Henry Strongin Goldberg, who succumbed to a
rare disease when he was just 7 years old.
When Julie became a program manager for HFH, she
knew that Sinai would be “a great fit” for its programs.
“The staff is so dedicated to improving the lives of the kids
they work with. They go above and beyond.” The care and
support staff may be their patients’ true superheroes, but
that didn’t stop Wonder Woman, Batman and Robin from
showing up to party down one day. During this celebration,
youngsters not only got to hang out with their favorite heroes, they also received gift bags. A caricaturist drew kids as
their favorite heroes; whether they wanted to be that wisecracking web-slinger, Spiderman, or that weather-wizard
from the X-Men, Storm, patients had an image of strength
they could hold on to.
Hope for Henry’s partnership with the children’s hospital
brings birthday cheer to children and teens alike. HFH’s
birthdays in a box are filled with dinnerware, gift bags, decorations, hats and even flowers. The themes appeal to a
cross-section of ages and interests, from “Transformers” to
“Twilight.” The Samuelson Children’s Hospital and HFH
also coordinate the delivery of balloons and cupcakes for the
birthday kid and his or her friends.
We love special occasions, but we know that our kids
need a little pick-me-up throughout the day-today. That’s why, with the help of HFH, we provide
A

and joy to pediatric patients
iPods, PlayStation portables and portable DVD players to
youngsters going through treatments. We also loan laptops to
patients in need; once they’re plugged in, they can explore
our new pediatric portal.
Intrepid Web-surfers learn how to prep themselves for a
hospital stay and get a primer on procedures like getting an
X-ray or having blood drawn; the portal also has sections
devoted to “how the body works,” breaking down specific
health issues like asthma, diabetes and “everyday illnesses
and injuries.” The section for teens talks to them honestly
about their changing bodies and peer pressure. Budding
scientists, doctors and loveable know-it-alls alike will enjoy
videos about the human body, various diseases and their
treatments, physical fitness, and nutrition. They’ll wow
their classmates with what they learn from our medical dictionary and glossary.
There’s even more for our kids to be excited about: The
Casey Cares Foundation hosts Kammi’s Jammies PJ parties
that bring sleepover fun to the hospital. Service groups like
Chai Lifeline lead arts-and-crafts sessions. Project Linus
gifts our kids with cuddly security blankets.
Little ones can make their new
best friends at our on-site
Build-a-Bear Workshop.
“Whether they’re going
through cancer or
chemo, kids are still
kids,” Julie reminds
us. We know that
finding the joy in life
helps everyone –
whether they’re
8 or 80 years old –
heal better and feel happier.
