Dear Friends of Le Bonheur,
W
ith this issue of Le Bonheur magazine, we begin a new
tradition of recognizing the essential role played by our special donors. We deeply appreciate every individual, company and
organization that has supported Le Bonheur this past calendar year.
Their generosity helped fund countless projects, in particular the
new Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center hospital and campus.
Construction of this wonderful new complex will begin next spring,
and will be completed by 2011. You will read the names of many of
these special friends in the following pages in our 2006 Donor Report.
This issue also shares the accomplishments, achievements and milestones of our medical staff and associates over the past year that have
made incredible differences in the lives of countless children.
The future is very bright for Le Bonheur and, in turn, for the 137,000plus children from 47 states who came through our doors last year.
The reason is simple: Le Bonheur provides superb diagnostics and
medical treatment along with an extra large dose of loving care.
So many wonderful things are underway. Groundbreaking for our
new
hospital and medical campus will take place. Additional outLarry Woodard and Anaya Scott
standing physicians will be added to our medical staff. More parents
will become aware of the excellent care that’s available at Le Bonheur.
And, best of all, more children will be healed and go on to live lives full of promise.
Many of you are aware, too, that Meri Armour joined our team as the new President and Chief Executive Officer of Le Bonheur.
She replaces former president Peggy Troy, who is now Chief Operating Officer at Methodist Le Bonheur
Healthcare. As an experienced nurse who has an MSN and an MBA, Meri brings a wealth of expertise and
a passion for children’s issues.
Meri relocated here from Cleveland, Ohio, where she most recently served as senior vice president and
general manager of Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital, MacDonald Hospital for Women and Ireland
Cancer Center. All three hospitals are part of the University Hospitals Health System/University Hospitals
of Cleveland, which she joined in 1995. I hope you’ll soon have an opportunity to meet Meri. She is
known for her communication skills, progressive leadership, successful fundraising and dynamic partnerships with physicians and staff.
Meri Armour
So, as we approach the future guided by our new leader, we want to assure you, our valued friends, that
the “new” Le Bonheur will be a highly sophisticated and comprehensive pediatric medical center ready to provide the highest level
of medical excellence to the children. At the same time, we will offer specialized facilities and services for the family members of our
young patients. Not only do we feel that the children deserve true excellence in their medical care, but we also feel a deep commitment to caring for our families.
It’s amazing what can happen when we join together. Children get better or get well. Some even get a second chance at
life itself. All of us at Le Bonheur thank you. Never can we say that enough.

T
he 2006 Le Bonheur Children’s
Medical Center’s Year in Review
is prepared exclusively for
our friends. In this year “ata-glance,” you’ll learn about
numerous achievements, advancements and
plans for Le Bonheur’s future. With your
help and continued financial leadership
during 2007 and beyond, our vision to
become a top 10 children’s hospital can
become a reality.
January
The Parent Resource Center opened to
parents and care givers of patients on the
ground floor of the hospital, providing a
private location with computers for families
to check emails or to research their child’s
diagnosis and treatment options.
February
Le Bonheur President and CEO Peggy
Troy assumed her new role as Chief
Operating Officer of Methodist Le Bonheur
Healthcare. While Troy continued to lead
Le Bonheur in the interim, a national search
was begun to find her replacement.
March
Online registration became available for
patients who have procedures or appointments at Le Bonheur. This can now be done
from any home or office computer, making
it extremely convenient to access at any time
throughout the day or night.
the present structure will be torn down and
construction of the new Le Bonheur will begin.
Groundbreaking for the new Le Bonheur hospital is scheduled for early 2008.
May
Le Bonheur’s Web site has a fresh
look, providing more up-to-date content,
improved navigation and a new graphic
design. Log on to www.lebonheur.org to see
for yourself.
The Sleep Disorder Center passed
reaccreditation and was granted status for
another five years by the American Academy
of Sleep Medicine.
June
Le Bonheur changed phone numbers to
the 287 prefix, making the new main hospital phone number 287-KIDS.
On June 15, Le Bonheur turned 54, celebrating over half a century treating children
of the region.
Le Bonheur Early Intervention and
Development (LEAD) in Jackson, Tenn.,
earned accreditation from the National
Association for the Education of Young
Children (NAEYC), the nation’s leading
organization of early childhood professionals.
To earn NAEYC accreditation, a self-study
is conducted to determine how well the
program meets the standards. After necessary
improvements are made, the program is
then observed by independent, professional
validators and reviewed by a national panel.
Programs are accredited for a five-year period.
July
Methodist Le Bonheur Associates came
together in a collective effort for the “Let’s
Pull Together” campaign and pledged more
than $1.3 million toward the new hospital. This campaign was one of the largest
employee campaigns of any children’s hospital in the country.
For the first time in a decade, pediatric cardiology fellows began working at Le Bonheur.
The fellowship lasts three years and accepts
two new fellows each year. When in full
swing, there will be six pediatric cardiology
fellows practicing at Le Bonheur.
With your help and continued financial leadership
during 2007 and beyond, our vision to become
a top 10 children’s hospital can become a reality.

April
The Surgical Brain Tumor Program at
Le Bonheur led the nation in performing the
highest volume of brain tumor surgeries.
Le Bonheur’s second Catheterization Lab
opened, offering the newest technology for
patient care. The $1.5 million fluoroscopy
unit was funded in part by a federal grant of
nearly $1 million from the Department of
Health and Human Services Health Resources
and Services Administration.
CN, one of the largest railroads in North
America, donated $1 million to Le Bonheur
for child safety programs and building the
new hospital.
Le Bonheur took another step toward
expansion on April 27 with the groundbreaking
of the new Memphis Mental Health Institute
(MMHI). The new MMHI facility is part of an
overall expansion of health care services in the
Memphis Medical District and will enable the
“new” Le Bonheur to be built on the former
MMHI site. Once the new MMHI facility
is completed and its patients relocated,
The newest component of Le Bonheur’s
family-centered care initiative was launched
with the offering of free, private and personalized Web pages to help patients and
families stay in touch with loved ones and
keep them updated during hospital stays.
CarePages allows patients and families
to post pictures and information online
through a fully secured, password protected
site that will remain active as long as the
patient and family need it, even after they
have been discharged from Le Bonheur. You
can visit the web site at www.CarePages.com.
Le Bonheur became the first hospital in
West Tennessee to add cryoblation procedures in its Catheterization Lab. The procedure lowers risk and raises quality in the
treatment of cardiac arrhythmia.
Dr. Umar Boston, a heart transplant
specialist, joined Le Bonheur’s pediatric cardiothoracic surgery department. He attended
medical school at Howard University in
Washington, D.C., and completed his
general surgery residency and cardiothoracic
surgery residency at Mayo Clinic.

Le Bonheur sonographers Angela Morelli
and Sharon Myers earned certification in
fetal echocardiography, making them two of
only a small handful of people in Tennessee
with this certification. Fetal echocardiograms
enable physicians to better plan and coordinate the care of the child.
October
A Certificate of Need was approved by
the State of Tennessee’s Health Services
and Development Agency for a state-ofthe-art magnetocephalography (MEG)
laboratory at Le Bonheur. The MEG is a
clinical first for a five-state area including
Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky
and Oklahoma. Le Bonheur is only the

often as they want within the parameters
of the diet prescribed by their physicians.
Patients may now order meals by telephone,
similar to room service at a hotel, from a
restaurant-style menu. Le Bonheur is one of
only a few children’s hospitals in the country
to offer such a program.
A new professorship in clinical
pharmacy was created by the generous
gift of retired Chairman and CEO of
Accredo Health David Stevens and his
wife, Debbie. The new role expands

Institute (formerly LHS, Inc.,
the previous parent company of
LBCMC) donated $2.9 million
to purchase the MEG.
During a live webcast,
surgeons at Le Bonheur’s
Neuroscience Institute performed a pediatric hemispherectomy on a young
patient. The procedure was
seen live by about 3,000
viewers. Hemispherectomy
is the surgical removal and
disconnection of one side of
the brain from the other.
The surgery is performed
in children who have a
damaged cerebral hemi-
sphere that causes epilepsy. By year’s
end, 11,000 screenings of the webcast
had been tracked.
The Healthy Families Program at the
Center for Children and Parents, coordinated by Le Bonheur, received credentialing from Healthy Families America, the
national initiative sponsored by Prevent
Child Abuse America, the nation’s leading
child abuse prevention organization. This
accomplishment follows an intensive twoyear process. Only two other programs in
Tennessee have been credentialed. Healthy
Families is a home-visitation program that
assists first-time teen mothers age 19 or
younger. Services continue until the baby
is at least three years old, and clients may
voluntarily receive services until the child
enters kindergarten. There are no fees to
participate. Last year the program provided
services to 268 mothers and 329 children.
November
Meri Armour was announced as the new
President and CEO of Le Bonheur. Armour
was senior vice president and general
manager of Rainbow Babies and Children’s
Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Physicians’ Campaign portion of the
capital campaign kicked off.
New technology allows technicians in Le Bonheur’s EEG
department to monitor spinal
cord surgeries more closely
than ever before. This includes
monitoring of both motor
and sensory functions of
the spinal cord while a
patient is in surgery.
Le Bonheur is the only
hospital in Memphis that
offers this procedure.
December
The Certificate of Need
(CON) for the new hospital
received unanimous approval
from the Health Services
and Development Agency in
Nashville. Construction of the
$327 million state-of-the-art
facility for Le Bonheur will take
place on the site of the Memphis
Mental Health Institute (MMHI)
at the corner of Poplar and
Dunlap and is slated for fall
2011 completion.

Le Bonheur at Forefront of
Family-Centered Care
P
atients at Le Bonheur Children’s Medical
Center are at the forefront of a movement
that is changing the way health care is delivered.
This system is called family-centered care, and
Le Bonheur is currently incorporating these principles into daily hospital practices.
“In family-centered care, medical staff and
family members work together as collaborators
in the best interest of the child,” explains
Le Bonheur’s Administrative Director of Family
Services, Janet Phillips, about this new care-giving
technique. “While medical personnel may fluctuate, the family is the constant in a child’s life,
and they deserve to be partners in all aspects of
their child’s care. Care is based on a continuous
healing relationship, and treatment plans are
made together with the family and customized
according to the patient’s needs and values.”
At the very heart of family-centered care is
the recognition that health care providers and
the family team up and work together to best
meet the needs of the child. The family’s insight
can enhance the professional staff ’s technical
knowledge and improve care because this principle acknowledges that families are experts in
their child’s care. For this reason, family-centered
care requires trust and respect for each family’s
values, beliefs, religious and cultural background.
“It is a continual pursuit of being responsive
to the priorities and choices of families,”
Phillips says. “We support and empower family
members as partners and decision-makers in
their child’s care and help them cope more confidently with their child’s illness.”
In family-centered care, patients and families
decide how they will participate in care and
decision making. They are provided with the
information they need to make educated choices
about treatment, and this information exchange
builds trust and contributes to the partnership
between families and caregivers.
“When families understand their options,
they feel less vulnerable about their child’s hospital experience,” Phillips says. “When they are
encouraged to participate in their child’s care
and care planning, they become more effective
regarding medical decisions.” Phillips notes
that this may include participating in rounds
and pain management plans, and helping with
tracheotomy or gastronomy care, so they can
become comfortable with those activities before
leaving the hospital.
“We want to ensure that family members are
allowed to remain with their child at all times,
under all circumstances, in accordance with
their wishes,” Phillips adds. “We support our
families by respecting their decisions, offering
comfort as they cope with the child’s illness,
and meeting the social, developmental and
emotional needs of their child.”
Even though the practice of family-centered
care is still a relatively new concept, Le Bonheur is
a leader in its development and implementation.
“Le Bonheur Associates have eagerly
embraced the concepts of family-centered care,
with many aspects already being practiced at the
hospital,” said Phillips. “We are well on our way
to transforming the culture and making parents
partners in all that we do.” Y
Whether it’s room service or Web pages,
Le Bonheur is always looking for ways to bring
practical family-centered care to patients and
their families.
To this end, the hospital has launched two
new programs aimed at doing just that, by
providing families with even more comforts of
home from their child’s hospital room.
The first program, CarePages, offers free,
private, personalized Web pages to patients and
their families to help them stay in touch with
loved ones during a hospital stay, or anytime
care giving is needed. The service gives families
greater control over communication and makes
it easier to keep in touch with other family
members and friends.
CarePages users agree. “The CarePage helps

Interpreters Translate
For Hispanic Patients
Leticia Tinoco, a Spanish interpreter for Le Bonheur, meets with Reyna Portesgil to explain
hospital procedures and answer questions regarding the care of her infant son, Oscar.
L
e Bonheur’s Spanish interpreters never know
what their day will bring. Leticia Tinoco may
bounce from outpatient services to the Bunny Room,
while her associate, Julio Cepeda, may be called to a
patient’s room or rush to the Emergency Department
after hours. Their services are all in an effort to aid the
hospital’s growing segment of Hispanic, non-English
speaking patients.
Since 2005, Le Bonheur has offered Spanish interpretation services five days a week to patients receiving
understand something vital – such as a consent form
– it can open up a number of problems.”
Tinoco adds that the interpreter’s role is about
more than just language; it also provides a cultural
bridge. “In many Latin American countries, no prescription is needed to purchase antibiotics,” Tinoco
explained. “A Hispanic family may need extra explanation when a doctor says the child has a virus and
no medicines will be given.”
The role of interpreter is only to interpret, said
“If the patient’s parent does not understand something vital –
such as a consent form – it can open up a number of problems.”

care in the hospital and the ambulatory clinics from
7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
On-call services are available during weekends for
cases of abuse, trauma or death.
As the hospital’s Spanish-speaking patient base
continues to grow, the interpreters are becoming more
important. In 2004, Le Bonheur treated approximately
3,500 Hispanic patients. That number has increased
almost 30 percent annually. In 2006, Hispanic children
treated as inpatients, outpatients, or for clinic and
urgent care needs reached 5,400.
“If health care providers are not fluent in Spanish,
they shouldn’t try to communicate with the parents,”
advises Cepeda. “Staff should always use the interpreter,” he says, noting that good communication
between providers and parents is necessary for excellence in quality care. “If the patient’s parent does not

Tinoco. “It is the health care provider’s responsibility
to obtain medical history. The interpreter is there to
interpret. It is not advisable to use children or family
members as interpreters because they may not convey
everything that is said or may add their own opinions.”
Tinoco grew up in northern Mexico, but has lived in
Memphis for 30 years. Before becoming an interpreter
at Le Bonheur, she worked for five years with Hispanic
families as a pastoral associate for multicultural ministry at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Midtown.
Cepeda was born in Chile, but spent much of his
childhood and adult life in Argentina. He is a retired
chemical engineer who most recently worked for
International Paper as the export manager for Latin
America. He has a master’s degree in pulp and paper
engineering from McGill University in Montreal,

me feel connected to the
family when I can’t be with
them in their time of need.
It’s a great way to let them
know how much they are
thought about during this
time,” said one family’s
friend.
“What a blessing it is to
know that I can get updates
on my friend’s child and
send encouraging words
without taking up so much
of their precious time,”
added another.
Specifically, CarePages
allows families the chance to
post updates, pictures, contact information and even
visiting hours - a service
that can reduce the amount
of time family and hospital
staff spend relaying the
information. The service is
free to Le Bonheur patient
families, fully secure, password protected and complies
with all patient privacy regulations. CarePages is available from the patient’s room,
at the Parent Resource
Center in the hospital, at
home or any place Internet
access is available.
The second program,
Dining on Call, allows our
patients to eat what they
want, when they want, and as
often as they want, within the
parameters of the diet ordered
by their physicians. Think
of it as room service for the
patient. When a patient is
hungry, his or her parent can
dial up a nutrition operator
and order from a restaurantstyle menu. The nutritionist
ensures the foods ordered
comply with the patient’s
diet. Once the patient places
an order, the meal is delivered to the patient’s room
within 45 minutes.
Le Bonheur is one of only
a few children’s hospitals
around the country to offer
this special meal service. Y

2007
Dear Le Bonheur Donors:
They happen here every day. In fact, several times a day.
I’m talking about “wonderful things.” Not a day goes by without the lives
of a large number of infants and children changing for the better in remarkable
ways. However, there are some we still can’t make as well as we wish, because
medicine doesn’t have all the answers.
But we never, never give up!
And it is for that reason I am excited to say that another wonderful thing is
getting closer with each passing day. I’m talking about the start of construction
of the new Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center in early 2008. What a day
that will be. Our bold dream will become reality. Then, in early 2010, we will
be able to take care of a greater number of children, plus accelerate our search
for new and better ways to bring healing with more space for research.
As you may know, we are in the midst of a $100 million campaign for the
new hospital, which will cost $327 million. In addition to the campaign, $100
million will be obtained through the sale of bonds, and the remaining portion
will be funded by Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare from capital reserves.
Currently, we have raised more than $61 million. And with each gift we
receive, there is a feeling of inspiration, because we know we are not just
building a building. And the “new” Le Bonheur will be more than bricks and
mortar. It will be a place where countless young lives will be made better…new
answers found through research…and medical education provided to future
doctors and other health professionals. Above all, we’re building for the future
of our children. For their children. And the children to follow.
Because of your special friendship with Le Bonheur, we know you believe we
are a good investment and a valuable resource and, we hope, worthy of future
support. We also want you to know that our partnership with you means so
much to us. Most of all, as I have said before, it means healing and hope to our
young patients and to the members of their families.
If you think you might be interested in knowing more about the “new”
Le Bonheur or some of the ways you can support this project or about the
numerous Naming Opportunities, which enable people to place their name(s)
on a room, unit, etc., or honor or memorialize someone very special, simply call
me at (901) 287-5018 or send an e-mail to [email protected]. Together,
we can build on Le Bonheur’s tradition of excellence in pediatric health care, as
well as our reputation of providing large doses of loving attention to every child.

In Gratitude and Recognition
W
ith this issue, we are launching a new annual tradition of recognizing the special
friends who, by their support, are helping to provide tens of thousands of children
with a remarkable place of care and love. We deeply appreciate every individual, organization
and company that supported Le Bonheur during 2006. Your generosity will not be forgotten.
Where Do Your Contributions Go?
If you made an undesignated gift to Le Bonheur last year, we used it where it was most
needed. The following are examples of items your generosity helped us purchase:
• A flexible scope used to remove foreign objects from the airways of infants
• A special device used to stop bleeding during complicated brain surgeries
• Microscopes for diagnosis and research
• A deep vein finder to reduce the trauma associated with establishing IV lines
• Blanket warmers for children after surgery
These are only a very few illustrations of how your contributions have helped the children
and families. Your gifts have made so much possible for all the children who needed our
care in 2006. No matter the size of your gift, you can relish the knowledge that you, too,
share in the joy when a child goes home well from Le Bonheur.
Thank You!
The Donor Report lists our valued supporters who made cumulative gifts of at least $50 in
cash, pledges or pledge payments in the preceding year. We appreciate each of you, and every
step was taken to make sure that names were correct and properly spelled. However, in spite of
our best efforts, errors and omissions may occur. If there is a discrepancy, please inform us by
contacting the Le Bonheur Foundation at (901) 287-6308, or online at www.lebonheur.org.

New Hospital Construction On Track
The Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center building
project is on track as scheduled, with groundbreaking
planned for early 2008, following demolition of the Memphis
Mental Health Institute in September. Construction of the
new Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center will begin next
year, with the entire project, including renovation of several
existing structures, completed by fall 2011.
Construction cost is now at $327 million, as a result
of the decision to add certain facilities back in the project
due to current and long-term patient needs. Additionally,
Hurricane Katrina brought about significant increases in
the costs of bulding materials.
The public campaign goal remains at $100 million,
with another $100 million to be obtained through the
sale of bonds. The remaining portion, which is to be
funded by Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare from capital
reserves, is $127 million.
One additional operating room will require very specialized construction techniques and materials to house
a new piece of imaging equipment called Intra-operative
Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The State of Tennessee
requires that the insurance costs related to bond financing
must be included as well, which along with the above
noted items, brings the construction total to $327 million.
Fundraising activities continue in a very aggressive
manner. Currently, the Le Bonheur Foundation has raised
more than $61 million of the $100 million goal. The list
of general contributors ($50+) to Le Bonheur’s Capital
Campaign through Dec. 31, 2006, follows.

Together” campaign. The six-week fundraising drive generated gifts and pledges toward the campaign that will build a
“Room of Magic” movie theater for patients and their families
in the new hospital. The state-of-the-art movie theater will
show first-run movies. Complete with surround sound and
high-definition projection system, the theater will be designed
to accommodate IV equipment, wheelchairs and other needs
so that children can enjoy a welcome break from their hospital
routine and watch movies in a real theater environment. This
campaign was one of the largest employee campaigns of any
children’s hospital in the country. The list below recognizes
every Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare Associate who made a
contribution toward the new facility.

From the Heart

“

This is what I envisioned all those years ago.”
As the “backbone” of the unit, Clint stays
busy doing “just about anything” the staff asks
him to do. He begins most days at 8:30 a.m.,
checking to see which nurses are on duty and
which babies in the unit have been fed. If any
of the Unit’s Patient Care Coordinators need
help in preparing formula or with feeding, he’s
up for the task. Clint also picks up supplies for
the SCU, delivers specimens to the lab, and
hugs, rocks and sings to the little ones. He’s even
changed his share of diapers through the years.
In 2003, Clint was the recipient of the
Methodist Healthcare Living Award and in 2005,
Le Bonheur presented him with an award recognizing his 10,000 hours of volunteer service.
Reﬂecting upon his monthly gifts to the
hospital, as well as his long-term bequest, Clint
said, “I believe my contributions will be used by
Le Bonheur in a very meaningful manner. Perhaps
some of it will even go into the new hospital.
I encourage others to consider leaving their
assets where they will be put to good use. In my
opinion, that place is Le Bonheur.” Y

— As Easy As A-B-C
Many people find it easy to delay making a will. They find it easy to procrastinate
because they think estate planning is hard.
But really, it’s not all that difficult. In most
cases, creating a will can be as simple as ABC!
A
-ssets: Begin by making an inventory
of all of your assets, including insurance policies, bank and brokerage accounts,
artwork and other collections, real estate holdings, vehicles — everything you own. Next,
estimate the value of your assets and deduct
what you owe. This will give you a rough idea
of the total value of your estate.
B
-eneficiaries: Who do you want to
receive your assets? First, consider family needs and obligations. Then review your
charitable involvements and how a bequest
could benefit them, as well as create a lasting
legacy for you and your family. For example,
you may designate Le Bonheur as a beneficiary of your estate. By sharing your plans
with us, you automatically become a member
of our DreamBuilders Society, a special organization created to honor those who have
included Le Bonheur in their estate plans.
C
-onfidants: Choose trustworthy
people to provide legal and other
professional assistance, as well as a personal
representative to help settle your estate. You
may also need to select one or more trustees
and guardians for any minor children.
Once you have listed and valued your
assets, selected the beneficiaries for your
estate, and chosen the key people to assist
you now and after your death, it is time to
act. Don’t delay. Contact an estate planning
attorney right away and move forward.
If you need help contacting a good attorney, ask your friends for suggestions or contact the trust department of a local bank for
a referral. Ask around until you find someone you feel comfortable with. If you wish,
we can assist you in this process as well.
While creating a will is easier than you
might have thought, it will take some time.
But the end result is worth it. You will be
well rewarded with a deep sense of satisfaction and peace of mind.
For information about including Le Bonheur
in your estate plans, please contact Bethany
Goolsby, J.D., Director of Planned Giving, at
(901) 287-5575, or at [email protected].

f it weren’t for Clint, the unit would
fall apart!” jokes Shirley Greer of
Le Bonheur’s Special Care Unit (SCU)
about the department’s Number One
Volunteer, Clint Trusty. “He’s the
backbone of the SCU.”
Clint teases Shirley back, and shares his reason for naming Le Bonheur as the sole beneficiary of his estate.
“Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center is
one of the greatest assets Memphis has,” Clint
says emphatically. “The hospital not only serves
Memphis, it serves the surrounding territory for
miles. To see the children come in fighting for
life, and to see them go home healthy is very
satisfying. To think you had a little something
to do with it, that’s extreme satisfaction.”
Born and raised in the small farming community of Wallace, Neb., (pop. 400), Clint
moved to California with his family at age 14
where he lived the next 40 years. His first career
was in the U.S. Navy, which lasted for 20 years.
Continental Airlines followed, where he was a
senior materials analyst for 16-plus years. When
FedEx called in 1983, he moved to Memphis.
A confirmed bachelor, the 77-year-old former
FedEx Materials Analyst retired in 1993, yet he
knew long before he stopped working that he
wasn’t the type that could just “go home and
sit.” Although he never had his own family,
Clint had a lifelong passion to work with and
on behalf of children.
When the time came to begin the next phase
of his life, Clint picked up the phone and called
the Le Bonheur Foundation. “Technically, I
didn’t know a thing about Le Bonheur except
that it existed to help children, but I had already
decided that Le Bonheur would be the recipient
of my estate,” he shared, noting that Le Bonheur
is the ﬁrst and only children’s hospital he’s ever
been inside.
When the Director of Volunteer Services
dropped him off at the Special Care Unit on his
first day as a volunteer, that was it. He’s been
there ever since, and now works four-hour shifts
four days a week, 52 weeks a year.
“Le Bonheur has the greatest staff in the world,”
says Clint. “I believe in Le Bonheur, and if you
don’t believe in Le Bonheur you can’t work here.

2007
n 1923, a small group of women
formed an organization to make clothes
for underprivileged children living
at Leath Orphanage. Club members
selected the name Le Bonheur, meaning
“Hour of Happiness,” and began sewing for
the children.
As the Club grew, so did its commitment
to all children in the community, moving
beyond clothing orphans to attending to their
health care needs by providing transportation
to doctors’ appointments. In 1944, when the
Pediatric Society had an idea for a hospital
dedicated solely to children, Le Bonheur Club
was contacted, and members helped raise
the funds to build the facility. On June 15,
1952, Le Bonheur Club president Elise Porter
Pritchard tied the hospital’s keys to 12 gaily
colored balloons and released them into the
sky, symbolizing the Club’s promise that the
hospital’s doors would never be closed to any
ill or injured child.
Fast forward to 2007.
Now in its 84th year, President Debbie
Jones says her emphasis is on increasing Club
presence in the hospital. “Our theme for this
year is ‘Feel Our Mission,’ and it’s important
and very rewarding for our members to be
seen volunteering at the hospital by people
who appreciate our service and who know
we are there,” she explained. “There is so
much satisfaction from seeing the faces
of a child light up at the sight of a toy
or the thankful expression on parents’
faces who have been up all night with
a sick child when
we serve them a
cup of coffee and
a muffin from
the snack cart. We can and do make a difference in the lives of Le Bonheur’s patients and
their families.”
Jones says leading the organization is not a
job she takes lightly. “This Club has been led by
incredible women over the course of its history.
They have done a remarkable job of growing
us into the legacy-enriched group we are today.
Our job is to ‘help Le Bonheur help kids,’ and
as president, it’s my job to lead the Club in this
effort by listening, advising and caring.”
Ongoing projects supported by Club members include serving patient families coffee
and muffins, supplying magazines, books and
goodies during their child’s hospital stay, and
helping stock the Bunny Room. During the
holidays, Club members donated more than
200 Barbie dolls toward this project.
Le Bonheur Gift Shop specialty sales of
linens, jewelry, outerwear and scrubs are
manned by Club volunteers. Members are also
called upon to plan, prepare, decorate and
serve at patient and Associate Christmas parties, the hospital’s birthday on June 15, and
other special occasion events such as Doctors’
Day and Nurses’ Day.
Additionally, they decorate the lower lobby
garden area to coincide with the seasons.
In 2004, the Club undertook a strategic
plan to fund the Le Bonheur ClubHouse, a
parent resource center to be housed within
the walls of the new hospital. The Club is
now more than halfway through its fundraising campaign to raise $2 million toward
this goal. From Oct. 1, 2005, through
Sept. 30, 2006, $534,322 was raised for the
ClubHouse through such projects as the
annual Christmas Cottage, Tasting Tour, gift
shop sales and sales of cookbooks and Gail
Pittman original ceramic pieces designed
exclusively for the Club.
The ClubHouse will include a living area,
kitchen, children’s library and computer room
with internet access to stay in touch with
family and friends. A resource center will also
provide educational information so families
can research their child’s illness and treatment,
and learn how to perform certain procedures
when their child goes home.
“It will be a place where the families can
go to take a break and recoup,” described
Jones. “The ClubHouse will be located
within the hospital so families won’t have to
leave the building and can remain close to
their children.”
Once the ClubHouse is complete, members
will carry on their volunteer activities at the
hospital, and continue to raise funds for
ongoing support of the ClubHouse.
“We’re just getting started,” says
Jones. “We feel like the original
members must have felt in the late
1940’s, when they began their
building campaign.
To be part of the modern
Le Bonheur gives us great
pride for what that group of
13 women began in 1923.
We believe in what we do, and
that is why we are honored to
continue their legacy.” Y

TWIGS of Le Bonheur
Branches In New Direction
F
Monica Lemmon with Jackson
Adams in the Rehabilitation
Services Department.
“TWIGS members
make a significant
impact in the lives
of thousands of
children throughout
the region.”
— Monica Lemmon
“TWIGS members are a diverse group
of people who develop strong friendships
all while performing some meaningful
volunteer work in support of Le Bonheur,”
said Lemmon. “They make a significant
impact in the lives of thousands of children throughout the region.”
Heather Hunt and Connie Haygood, with
the Le Bonheur Foundation, act as liaisons
with the various TWIGS chapters. Both agree
membership requires a major commitment.
“The chapters commit to hard work, with
every member sharing in the common goal to
continue Le Bonheur’s mission to provide a
place of care, along with large doses of love to
every child who enters our doors,” said Hunt.
Through the years, the various TWIGS
chapters have staged a variety of fundraising activities that spotlight each group’s
distinct talents. Chapter events have
included everything from mother and
daughter teas, Bunko parties and progressive dinners to the sale of cookbooks, pottery, pizzas and plants.
Each Christmas, all TWIGS chapters join together to present the annual
Enchanted Forest Festival of Trees, a magical event that has become a Mid-South
tradition. The Enchanted Forest features a
walk through a winter wonderland of animated characters, gingerbread houses and
dozens of creatively decorated Christmas
trees sponsored by area businesses and
organizations. Last year’s event at the
Memphis Pink Palace Museum raised
$160,000 for Le Bonheur.
As Le Bonheur moves into the future
with the building of a new hospital,
TWIGS joins this new direction.
“We are beginning to combine the efforts
of all our chapters with greater emphasis on
coordinating larger fundraising events that
will raise even more dollars for the new
Le Bonheur,” said Lemmon. “This focus
will also build camaraderie among all
TWIGS members. We welcome and
encourage anyone interested to become a
member and join us in this endeavor.”

Heather Hunt at (901) 287-6101. Y

or almost 30 years, volunteer members of TWIGS
(Together We Initiate
Growth and Sharing) have
supported Le Bonheur
Children’s Medical Center.
Founded in 1978, TWIGS of
Le Bonheur members serve as ambassadors
of the hospital in their own neighborhoods
and communities each with the goal of
raising funds for the hospital.
“TWIGS are chapters related as TWIGS
are on a tree,” explains President Monica
Lemmon. “The essence of what we do is to
raise funds to support the excellent pediatric
health care offered at Le Bonheur.”
TWIGS chapters are located throughout
the area and are comprised of members
from diverse communities throughout the
region. Currently there are six TWIGS
chapters (each named for a tree), located
in area communities: East Memphis
(Cedar), Cordova/Lakeland/Arlington
(Hickory), Germantown (Magnolia),
Bartlett/Cordova (SassyFras), University of
Memphis Students (Mimosa) and Tupelo
(Gumtree) in Mississippi.
Many TWIGS members have been
active for 10 or more years, according
to Lemmon.
“The type of volunteer opportunity
TWIGS provides is one that gives back
not only to Le Bonheur but to each
member as well,” Lemmon explains.
The separate chapters all gather with the
common purpose of helping the children
at Le Bonheur. Together, they have raised
more than $3.6 million.
In 2005, TWIGS chapters helped
purchase a state-of-the-art ambulance for
the hospital’s ground transportation unit
with a donation of $220,000. They also
pledged $500,000 toward the construction of the new Le Bonheur hospital.
Their contribution will help fund the
Rehabilitation Services Department and
Emergency Department areas, including
two orthopedic rooms, two triage rooms
and a trauma room. Additional funds
will be allocated toward the purchase
of a second ambulance.

Making a Gift to Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center
Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center has been caring
for the children of the Memphis area and beyond since
its founding in 1952. As the only truly comprehensive
pediatric medical center in the region, Le Bonheur
served the health care needs of more than 137,000 last
year. Many programs and services that we provide rely
on the generosity of individuals like you. With your
help, Le Bonheur will continue to provide a family-centered care experience for all who enter our doors. If you
have made a previous gift to Le Bonheur, we thank you.
If you wish to consider making a gift, you may do so in
any of the following ways.

with long-term problems or even threaten their
lives. By making an annual donation of $1,000
or more, you’ll join a generous group of Leaders.
Our distinguished Le Bonheur Leaders are dedicated to quality pediatric health care through
our many programs and services, and we recognize and acknowledge them for their commitment to Le Bonheur and the children. To make

urgent needs. Gifts made to Le Bonheur’s endowment may honor or remember a
special person or celebrate an event or personal milestone.
Volunteers, supporters and friends of
Le Bonheur host more than 120 events each
year. Among the special events you are invited

Dogs
wo days each month, Le Bonheur patients are on the receiving end of some very caring volunteer visitors.
These special companions give their unconditional love and loyalty, and in return receive a smile and a
loving touch from the little ones who are unabashedly drawn to them.
Established in 2001, Mid-South Therapy Dogs (MSTD) has visited Le Bonheur kids since 2002. This organization
of more than two dozen volunteers and their pets provide animal-assisted activities and animal-assisted therapy at
hospitals, hospices and health care centers, schools, libraries and youth facilities throughout the Mid-South.
“There are no words to describe the rewarding feeling you get when you see the kids petting the dogs,” says Debb
Taylor, founder of Mid-South Pet Partners and a coordinator for MSTD. Debb owns five golden retrievers, four
that are therapy dogs. Her friend, Mary Ehrhart, owns three therapy dogs. Together, the women and their canine
companions spend at least three days each week easing fears and offering nurturing and acceptance.
“Therapy dogs offer a break from the trauma of being in a hospital or health care environment,” explained Mary.
“Dogs don’t judge or criticize. They accept you the way you are and don’t care what you look like or whether you have
a broken leg or an IV.”
Pet therapy does wonders for a patient’s physical and mental well-being. Physiological tests have shown that stroking
and petting animals lowers blood pressure, reduces anxiety and stress, promotes healing and lifts spirits. Relationships with
animals are free of the threats and responsibilities inherent in human relationships. Pets
visiting with patients enhance mood and social interaction.
“In a hospital setting, where most touch is painful or invasive, the touch of an
animal is safe and non-threatening,” explained Thomas Hobson, Le Bonheur’s
Manager of Child Life Services. “Animals can open a channel of emotionally
safe communication with patients. Children, especially, are likely to project
their feelings and experiences onto an animal. When the therapy dogs come
to visit Le Bonheur, there is more laughter and interaction among our kids.”
“They do all the work,” adds Mary. “All we do is hold the leash.
People ask, ‘What do these dogs do?’ It’s a simple answer. If they make
you smile, they’ve done their job.”
And what do the dogs get out of it?
“Where else can they go and lay on a cool floor and be petted and loved
on and have cookies?” says Debb with a laugh. — Kini Kedigh Plumlee
Sisters Lydia and Addie Tollison love cuddling Cooper and Tank.
In 2005, MSTD was the Animal Organization of the Year for Tennessee Animal Week. In
