FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear friends,
The past year was a remarkable one for our Akron Children’s Hospital family as we extended our
mission of caring to even more children throughout the region. To illustrate some of these new
partnerships, this year’s annual report invites you to “Walk a Day in Our Shoes,” by hearing from
some of the special caregivers who work in these locations. We know you’ll be as inspired as we are
to see how our mission is being lived out every day in these new areas.
One of our new relationships is with Summa Health System to manage the Special Care Nursery
at Akron City Hospital. We also signed an important affiliation agreement with MetroHealth
System to provide pediatric specialty care in Cleveland. Our CARE Center added services and
staff with federal stimulus funds for victims of child abuse. On the Akron campus, we opened a
new unit with grant funding in our Emergency Department, dedicated to patients with mental
and behavioral health issues, and we are affiliating with the new Robert J. Keegan Family Center
for Autism.
In 2010, we performed more than 10 percent more surgeries than in the previous year and set a
record for reducing infections. Our transport team flew their 1,000th flight in Air Bear,® the state’s
first and only medical helicopter dedicated to pediatrics.
On the clinical research side, we received generous matching gifts following the founding of
the Rebecca D. Considine Research Institute, and Dr. Michael Reed is bringing together an
impressive team. Their work with the Austen BioInnovation Institute shows the power of
collaboration, and I expect exciting developments from them.
In the Mahoning Valley, we celebrated our second year at our Beeghly campus facility, and
the ever-growing number of children we serve there. We held an open house for the new surgery
center and started construction on our Garden of Hope. It is gratifying to see how the people
of the Valley have embraced our mission, and it is rewarding to become part of the fabric
of another community.
When I reflect on everything we accomplished last year, I have to share my admiration for our
people. They truly embraced the meaningful nature of our work and took the words of our
promises to heart – to treat all children as if they were our own, to treat everyone the way we
would want to be treated, and to turn no child away for any reason. Thank you to all who support
our mission, and I look forward to more great things in the year ahead.

FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
Dear friends,
As I look back on the accomplishments of Akron Children’s Hospital throughout the
last year, I am proud of the continued growth and expansion of services we achieved
throughout the region, all while keeping focused on our mission of providing high
quality health care to children, regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
One of our growth areas in 2010 was in the Mahoning Valley, where the volume of
patients increased dramatically. We expect to see that trend continue, as well as ongoing
growth in the number of acute care referrals to our Akron campus. I am especially
gratified to see how well our Beeghly campus has integrated into the community, and
the energy that accompanied the opening of our new surgical suites in October.
Akron Children’s had a very strong year financially, both in terms of operations and
investments. I credit Administration for the success of our operations. The leadership
team did a remarkable job of proactively managing volumes as our patient census rose
and fell, and it really paid off.
An area where we continue to shine is the quality of our Medical Staff. Our physician
recruitments this past year have tremendously deepened our service lines. Of particular
note are the additions of several world-class physicians: Dr. Roger Hudgins, director,
Division of Neurosurgery and clinical director of our NeuroDevelopmental Science
Center; Dr. Bruce H. Cohen, director of Pediatric Neurology; and Dr. Richard Hertle,
director of Pediatric Ophthalmology. They join our already stellar staff.
I would like to thank Administration for their dedicated work and outstanding results,
as well as the Board of Directors for their tireless dedication. Much of the work of the
Board takes place in committees throughout the year, and many of our Board members
sit on multiple committees. They devote a significant amount of time to the ongoing
governance and oversight of the Hospital, and I am truly grateful for their service.
The common theme I hear from visitors is that they are amazed by the culture of caring at
Akron Children’s Hospital. Our culture is a blessing, but it does not happen by accident.
It is the result of the dedication of all the people who are devoted to our tradition of
caring and quality, and their commitment to carry it forward every single day. Each of
them has my true admiration and appreciation.

F R O M T H E F O U N D AT I O N C H A I R M A N
Dear friends,
I’m pleased to have this opportunity to share with you the many successes the Akron
Children’s Hospital Foundation enjoyed in 2010. I would like to personally extend
my gratitude to the Board of Directors, Foundation Board, Women’s Board and the
Foundation staff for their hard work, which allows us to play a role in fulfilling the
mission of Akron Children’s Hospital.
Total fundraising for 2010 from all sources including individuals, Children’s Miracle
Network Hospitals, grants from the public and private sector, special events and
corporations exceeded $11,530,000, an increase of more than 3 percent from
the previous year. Overall, performance was improved in a number of divisions,
including Annual Giving and the Mahoning Valley. In fact, despite transitioning
to a shorter campaign, the Annual Fund experienced a 19 percent increase in 2010.
Additionally, the hospital received $2.2 million in anonymous, major gifts that will
greatly help patient care initiatives here at the hospital.
Fundraising in the Mahoning Valley continues to grow as we cultivate relationships
with more partners in the region. In 2010, we saw an increase in both the number of
donors and dollars raised. A total of 1,408 donors contributed $773,965 to support
the programs and services of Akron Children’s Hospital Mahoning Valley. This
represents an increase of 57 percent in dollars raised and an increase of 47 percent
in the number of donors.
I’d also like to mention the success of our special events. For the first time ever, we
raised more than $1 million at fundraisers held throughout the Akron area. If you’ve
attended the Holiday Tree Festival, the Forest Heritage Festival, or An Evening of
Wine and Wishes, you know how fun these events can be and you also know how
much good they do for our hospital.
2010 was a monumental year for the Akron Children’s Hospital Foundation, and
I’d like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of our donors, large and small. Your
support reflects a greater commitment for the outstanding work of Akron Children’s
Hospital and the contribution our organization makes to improve the lives of the
babies, children and families in northern Ohio.
Sincerely,
Philip H. Maynard
Chairman, Akron Children’s Hospital Foundation

From critical care transport to treatment to research, our
intensive care team provides 24/7 care for more than 1,300
seriously ill or injured children each year. The 23-bed Pediatric
Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is staffed by eight board-certified
intensivists, at least one of whom is onsite every hour of the day,
365 days a year. They’re joined by eight highly-skilled certified
nurse practitioners, pediatric critical care nurses, therapists,
nutritionists, pharmacists, child life specialists, psychologists,
surgeons and subspecialists.
Critical minutes from
We transport critical patients from doctors’ offices
and ERs throughout our service area using one
of our four pediatric-dedicated ambulances or our
Air Bear® helicopter, all specially equipped for the smallest
patients. Once patients arrive, their state-of-the-art care
is enhanced through several ongoing research initiatives.
For instance, we collaborated with a national children’s
hospital organization to reduce bloodstream infections by
95 percent, saving $20,000 to $40,000 per incident.

nurse practitioners and respiratory therapists are new
Akron Children’s employees and are rigorously trained in
our protocols and procedures. High-risk moms and babies
also have the support of our Regional Fetal Treatment

they’re quickly transported to our NICU.

Earlier this year, Akron Children’s specialists began treating
patients at the MetroHealth main campus, complementing
that hospital’s existing pediatric specialties. The specialty
care we provide there includes pediatric cardiology,
gastroenterology, cancer and blood disorders, surgery and
critical care. It’s just one more example of our regional
integration, made possible in part by the addition of
77 specialists to our medical staff since 2009.
We also specialize in
“We know from experience that this type of collaboration
is a win-win for everyone,” said Norm Christopher, MD,
chair of the department of Pediatrics at Akron Children’s
Hospital. In fact, we have affiliations and partnerships with
eight other health systems: Akron General Medical Center
and Summa Health System in Akron, Fisher-Titus Medical
Center in Norwalk, TriPoint Medical Center in Lake County,

in Youngstown, Robinson Memorial Hospital in Ravenna
and MedCentral Health System in Mansfield.

Annual Fund
2010 marked the first year the
Annual Fund ran a fiscal year
campaign, from Jan. 1 – Dec. 31,
2010. We are pleased to report
that the campaign surpassed its
goal and raised nearly $1.2 million
for Akron Children’s Hospital, an
increase of 19 percent from the
previous year’s 15-month campaign.
As part of the new Foundation
office re-organization, annual
giving efforts included an increase
in targeted mail appeals to expand
reach and frequency as well as a
fresh focus on volunteer solicitor
communication and efforts. The
end result was a 9 percent increase
of total gifts. In 2010, Volunteer
Solicitors raised nearly $500,000
for the campaign, exceeding an
ambitious goal of $400,000 by
20 percent.
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals
The “Have a Heart, Do Your Part
Radiothon” celebrated its 11th
anniversary in February 2010.
Not only does this event continue
to raise significant funds for the
hospital, but it helps generate
awareness of our services to
WKDD’s listeners. More than 2,500
supporters demonstrated their
generosity and pledged more than
$520,000 to Akron Children’s.

generated over $151,000, a
tremendous increase of 59 percent.
Children’s Miracle Network
Hospitals’ sponsors continued their
local fundraising with in-store
campaigns and special events, both
in the Akron/Canton area, and the
Mahoning Valley. Akron/Canton
area sponsors raised more than
$600,000 for the Akron campus, and
relationships with Mahoning Valley
sponsors raised nearly $155,000.
Fundraising Special Events
More than 94 special events,
sponsored by the Foundation and
outside groups or individuals,
reached a significant milestone
in 2010. For the first time ever,
more than $1,037,000 was raised
for the hospital.
The 49th annual Harness Race
Rally, sponsored by the Friends
of Akron Children’s Hospital,
continues to be one of the highlights
of the special event calendar
having raised a total of $65,000
for the Haslinger Family Pediatric
Palliative Care Center.
A record number of decorated
trees and increased sponsorships
resulted in a new all-time high
of $216,000 for the Holiday Tree
Festival. Special thanks to the
many volunteers who make this
event so special, including our
deep appreciation to Holiday Tree
Festival co-chairs, Heather Jalbert
and Margie McDonnell.
The continued leadership of
Foundation Director, Greg
Michalec, and his wife, Tiffany,
resulted in proceeds of $130,500
through another memorable
“Evening of Wine and Wishes.” This
event, consisting of good company,
great food and libations, has
generated more than $500,000 in
five years.
Some other independent events
held on behalf of Akron Children’s
include the Lopen Golf Outing
to support Hematology/Oncology
($56,700), the 3rd Annual Walk
for Babies to benefit the NICU
($38,000), and The Great Rinky
Dink Extreme Putt-Putt Challenge,
held in memory of Logan Boyd, to
support Hematology ($36,000).
Mahoning Valley
Philanthropic support from
donors in the Mahoning Valley
continues to grow as we expand
our fundraising efforts. Since 2008,
donors have contributed more than
$3 million to support the mission
of Akron Children’s Hospital in the
Mahoning Valley. In addition to our
collaboration with the Children’s
Miracle Network Hospitals, we’ve
enjoyed many fundraising successes
in the Mahoning Valley
A $100,000 gift from the SJK
Foundation was received to create a
Special Care Nursery Family Area
to provide a calm, quiet and inviting
place where families can rest while
their child is being treated.
A $50,000 pledge to establish a fund
for continuing medical education
in the Mahoning Valley was made
by Eleanor Watanakunakorn
in memory of her husband Dr.
Chatchrai Watanakunakorn.
Fifty thousand dollars ($50,000)
from the Hine Memorial Fund was
used to construct a family sleeping
room in the Special Care Nursery.
Capital support for Mahoning
Valley Surgical Services was
received through gifts of $25,000
from the Youngstown Foundation,
$10,000 from the J. Ford Crandall
Foundation, and an anonymous gift
of $5,000.
The Garden of Hope, a unique
outdoor space nestled in a highly
visible, yet enclosed, courtyard area
on the Akron Children’s Hospital
Beeghly Campus, was funded
entirely through philanthropic
donations totaling almost $70,000.
The second annual “Koins for Kids”
campaign, sponsored by Handel’s
Ice Cream, raised more than
$28,000.
Our partnership with Warren-based
Covelli Enterprises continues to
grow as evidenced by the first ever
Bagels for Babies campaign. Held at
Panera Cafés throughout the entire
market area in June 2010, the
activity raised more than $17,000.
Additionally, our two volunteer
groups, the Community Leadership
Advisory Council, which consists
of 20 members and is chaired
by Bruce Beeghly, and the Kids’
Crew of Akron Children’s Hospital
Mahoning Valley, which now has 85
active members, continue to provide
engaged leadership and support for
our efforts in the Mahoning Valley.
with courage and grace. Half of
the proceeds, when realized, will
be directed equally to expressive
therapy and nursing services.
Grants
Akron Children’s Hospital received
$3.2 million from public and private
sector grant funding sources in
2010, a decrease from 2009 levels.
We’ve also received outstanding
support for the Rebecca D.
Considine Research Institute from
long-time supporters such as The
Showers Family Foundation, Roger
and Judy Read, Mr. and Mrs. Tony
Alexander, The Mary and Louise
Myers Family Foundation, and Mr.
and Mrs. Willard Holland, among
others, totaling more $400,000.
Because of the decreased level
of governmental funding, which
has traditionally represented
approximately 80 percent of our
grant funding, the grants division
increased the number of private/
family foundation requests to 51
sources which represents a doubling
of submissions as compared to
2007. This activity resulted in a
21.8 percent increase in private
foundation funding.
Principal Giving
The Principal Giving division used
best practices to make good progress
in 2010 and lay a foundation to
build upon in 2011 and beyond.
Overall, almost $3,600,000 in
contributions, classified as major
gifts, were received in 2010,
significantly exceeding 2009 totals.
Additionally, we received
notification of a $600,000 gift from
an anonymous donor. This gift will
be directed towards three initiatives
at the hospital.
Additionally, the hospital continued
to receive strong corporate support
from a number of longtime
supporters including, among
others: FirstMerit, Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Co., Omnova, GOJO,
Unilock Ohio, AVI Foodsystems,
Howard Hanna, Summit Racing,
KeyBank, FirstEnergy and Polymer
Valley Chemicals.
The Foundation received word
that an anonymous estate gift
of $1.4 million was given to the
hospital and is to be used for areas
of greatest need. A magnanimous
gift of this kind truly demonstrates
the strong affection members
of the community feel for Akron
Children’s Hospital.
An innovative estate planning gift
of $800,000 was received from Dr.
and Mrs. Ron Russ, a wonderful
couple and grateful patients who
have faced unimaginable adversity

The Children’s Circle recognizes a
distinguished group of donors who
make Akron Children’s Hospital
a priority in their philanthropy by
donating at least $1,000 during a
calendar year. This special group
of caring individuals allows Akron
Children’s to fulfill our mission to
provide family-centered healthcare
for every child and their family,
while never sacrificing quality of care
because of the inability to pay.
