As part of the hospital’s mission to be M e health dical H appenin g s Dental Education Program was a resource and provider of specialized services, the developed in 2007 to teach local elementary students about dental health and hygiene. During the program’s first year, 1,186 first grade students in three Richmond and all Hopewell, Prince George and Petersburg area schools received information through the 60-minute program designed to meet the Virginia Standards of Learning health requirement. A lto u mfin N e w s in Charles City and Dinwiddie The following year the program expanded rsti grades County, bringing the message to an additional 575 students. This year, by providing training and resources to school nurses in Chesterfield, Hanover and Henrico counties, developing a 30-minute educational program for some kindergarten classes and expanding to New Kent and Colonial Heights, Children’s Hospital shared dental health information with nearly 9,500 students, 5,167 of whom participated in programs led by their school nurses. The remaining students participated in programs led by Children’s Hospital representatives. “The education that this program provides is so important to children as they’re getting their permanent teeth,” commented Cyndi Cline, Dental Outreach Coordinator. “They learn how and why they have to take care of their teeth. Feedback from schools has been amazing.” This year’s school nurse training program brought 30 nurses covering 55 schools to the hospital for a half-day education session last September. In addition to learning how to teach the program, school nurses received posters for teachers and toothbrushes, dental floss and activity books for students. Nurses then selected the schools in their district to receive the dental program and materials. This summer, Children’s Hospital will expand School Dental Resource Day to include school nurses from Colonial Heights, Hopewell, Richmond and Petersburg. With school nurses focusing on many area students, Children’s Hospital representatives will take their dental health messages to students in 11 new schools in Colonial Heights, Henrico, Hopewell and Richmond next February in recognition of Dental Health Month. Children’s Hospital will be a complete and supportive resource where children and their families find the medical and therapeutic services they need to thrive.

And months after first seeing the new space, Shannon, who will be seven in July, still gets excited for her weekly therapy appointments and visits to “Miss Pat and Miss Gail’s place,” a reference to two of the therapists she sees each week. Children’s Hospital’s Bon Air Therapy Center opened in late December with 5,300 square feet of space that includes two gyms, two sensory motor areas, seven quiet treatment spaces, a psychology office, a comfortable waiting room with dedicated children’s nook and additional staff and office space. The new location within the Sheltering Arms Bon Air facility near Buford Road and Midlothian Turnpike replaced the hospital’s former South Therapy Center, which needed additional space to accommodate growing demand for pediatric physical, occupational and speech therapy and psychology services. The new space provides better flow for patients to move from waiting room to treatment areas as well as a larger and more family-friendly waiting room. For Shannon’s mom, Maureen, the waiting room provides space for her four-year-old son, Sean, to play during Shannon’s weekly occupational, physical and speech therapy sessions. It also offers more space for Maureen to catch up with other families, many of whom have become friends during the more than three years she’s been bringing Shannon to Children’s Hospital. Working Together Shannon, who has Down syndrome, began receiving therapy services at the hospital’s former South Therapy Center in 2006 after C h i ld re n ’s Hos p ital Mag azine by Alissa M.

Her early Children’s Hospital visits focused on developing speech, building muscle tone and other age-appropriate skills. Today, Maureen said Shannon’s speech is “out of the ballpark,” she’s learned to jump and throw a ball and can write her name and cut on the lines. And with support from her family, therapists and teachers, Shannon is a kindergartener in an inclusive classroom at Good Shepherd Episcopal School in Richmond. “Shannon’s family has fostered a strong sense of self,” remarked Pat Stevens, OT/L, Rehab Manager for Bon Air and one of Shannon’s occupational therapists. “Shannon has great social skills and an I-can-do-it attitude.” Summer 2010 Encouraging their daughter to be her best has always been important to Maureen and her husband, Paul. Yet they are quick to share the credit with Shannon’s therapists. “Shannon has thrived in an inclusive school environment,” said Maureen, “because of the help and support she’s received from Children’s Hospital. From early on, her therapists have worked as a team, made themselves available to her teachers and provided suggestions for accommodations to help Shannon excel in the classroom.” Suggestions range from creating a device to help Shannon better hold her pencil to repeating directions and allowing extra time for Shannon to complete assignments.

Applauding the donation was Sen. John Watkins. Bon Air Open House Thanks Donors, Community After opening to patients in late December, Children’s Hospital’s Bon Air Therapy Center held an official open house on April 28 with representatives from the hospital’s Board of Trustees, Foundation and auxiliary boards, and staff mingling with patients, families, referral sources and donors. Chesterfield native and NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin and Sen. John Watkins were honored guests at the morning celebration, which recognized the Center’s new larger, family-friendly space and the donors who made the opening possible. Following remarks from Leslie Wyatt, President/CEO, Sen. Watkins and Mr. Hamlin, guests enjoyed a ribbon cutting, facility tours and lunch. “I wish my therapy was completed in a place as fun as this one,” commented Mr. Hamlin of his own therapy experiences. “It’s great that kids can come and have this therapy center as a resource.” Donations from American Family Fitness, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Congdon, Denny Hamlin Foundation, Junior Board of Children’s Hospital, Metropolitan Health Foundation and Sunshine Gift Shop of Children’s Hospital helped fund last year’s move to the Bon Air location. The Denny Hamlin Foundation continued its generosity with a $10,000 donation to fund therapy equipment at the Center. cate regularly with each other to review goals and identify areas of opportunity. Maureen appreciates the team approach to Shannon’s care and the flexibility to refocus therapy sessions to address needs or challenges as they arise. If Shannon is working on numbers in school, occupational therapy may involve writing numbers, physical therapy may include counting steps and speech therapy may focus on reading a book about the topic. Shannon’s therapists also provide activities for her to practice at home and spend time talking with Maureen before or after each appointment about Shannon’s progress and concerns. “Shannon’s family does such a good job at supporting and carrying over things at home,” commented Allison Mirra, MS, OTR/L, Occupational Therapist. “I see Shannon only once a week for an hour so if she doesn’t practice her skills at home, she won’t make progress.” Moving Ahead Shannon works so hard that Allison, who began treating Shannon in March, recently updated her occupational therapy goals to focus on more advanced fine motor skills like using scissors, visual motor skills like copying complex shapes, fine motor skills like folding, strength activities like postural control and self-care skills such as using snaps and buttons. “Shannon is a hard worker and loves getting it right,” said Gail Grubb, MA, CCC-SLP, Speech Therapist. “When I first met Shannon, she wasn’t communicating well. Now we’re working on grammar and using proper verb tenses.” “Since birth, Shannon has overcome many hurdles,” said Paul of his daughter’s premature birth at 34 weeks and open heart surgery at six months of age. “We knew from the first day she was born a fighter. We are so proud of all her accomplishments.” After more than three years, Maureen said Shannon’s therapists have become her support team and a part of their family. She appreciates how Shannon’s therapists “read her really well” and “know Shannon almost as well as I do.” “The good thing about Children’s Hospital,” remarked Maureen, “is they look at kids as individuals and don’t identify them by their disability.” Shannon’s bubbly personality is contagious with Bon Air’s other patients and staff. She has developed friendships with many of the children she sees each week and even has her first crush on “Mr. Andrew,” one of the therapy technicians whose photograph she proudly displays on her dining room table. “From Ms. Kelli at the front desk to all the therapists, we love everyone,” said Maureen. “They’re always willing to go the extra mile and really take time to get to know you.” C h i l d r e n’s S t o r i e s Heart to Heart Children’s Hospital Foundation Announces Name Changes Volunteer Stories Beginning July 1, Children’s Hospital Foundation will become Children’s Hospital and Healthcare Services Foundation. This change will coincide with the July 1 joining of operations of Children’s Hospital and Virginia Commonwealth University Health System. By combining operations, the new organization will have greater opportunities to address the critical need for a full range of specialty pediatric clinical care, increase research possibilities and recruit pediatric specialists to the region. We will become an independent foundation and continue to raise funds to support pediatric healthcare. “The primary focus of the Foundation will be to fund pediatric initiatives of the combined operation,” said Chris Broughton-Spruill, President.“We will also continue to support healthcare projects for children on a broader community basis like our dental education program, health and safety days, bicycle safety campaign and more.” Additional information is available in the insert in the middle of this magazine.

Happenings Medical Happenings MEDICAL HAPPENINGS Petersburg Therapy Center to Expand Children’s Feeding Program Expands to Fredericksburg Alumni News L ess than two years after opening, the Petersburg Therapy Center will expand into an additional 1,337 square feet of space, adding small treatment rooms, a sensory motor room, extra gym space and additional staff and office areas, by late summer or early fall. The extra space will allow the Petersburg Therapy Center, which averages 420 patient visits per month, to hire more staff and treat new patients from areas south of Richmond including Petersburg, Hopewell and Colonial Heights. Funded by a $100,000 donation from the 2009 Junior Board Ball, the expansion will allow Children’s Hospital to provide additional pediatric physical, occupational and speech therapy services in a community with limited pediatric therapy options. (The Junior Board’s total $209,000 donation was split between the Petersburg and Bon Air Therapy Centers.) To better understand the needs of Petersburg’s pediatric population, Children’s Hospital established an advisory group in 2009 that includes representatives from the hospital’s senior management and staff as well as business, community and healthcare leaders from the Petersburg community. The group, which meets three times a year, works to integrate Children’s Hospital’s healthcare and advocacy expertise into the community in a way that complements the growth and development goals of the region. O n May 3, Children’s Feeding Program began seeing patients at the Fredericksburg Therapy Center. The monthly clinic is designed to help children who have a medical condition that has affected their feeding and growth and includes assessments for medical, oral-motor, nutritional and behavioral problems and observations of eating patterns by the Feeding Program’s multidisciplinary team of specialists.

Dear Friends of Children’s Hospital Foundation, In March we communicated with you regarding the announcement by Children’s Hospital and the Virginia Commonwealth University Health System (VCUHS) of the intent to combine the two organizations operating as Children’s Hospital of Richmond under the VCU Health System umbrella. At that time, we promised to continue providing regular updates regarding progress toward the proposed affiliation. During the next year, we will provide this special insert in Children’s Hospital Magazine to share information as the vision for this new and exciting venture comes to life. A Milestone Achieved One very important milestone occurred on April 28 when a binding Affiliation Agreement was signed. Children’s Hospital and VCUHS entered into this agreement with a common goal: to raise the care of our community’s children to a new level of excellence by bringing together the clinical and academic expertise of VCU Medical Center and the focus on children with special needs of Children’s Hospital. Officials at both organizations are working diligently to finalize the details of the operational combination by June 30, 2010. Ongoing Status of Children’s Hospital Foundation It is important to note that Children’s Hospital Foundation will remain intact and will become an independent foundation. Our primary focus will be to support the initiatives of Children’s Hospital of Richmond. You will see information throughout this insert that begins to describe the key milestones in our first 90 years, descriptions of services, program locations and the many ways in which we plan to serve the children and families of our regional community. Your Continued Support is Critical As you learn more, we trust that you will want to be a part of this exciting journey and continue to support Children’s Hospital Foundation as you have in the past. Children’s Hospital is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. Since our founding, we have depended on the generosity of the community to help us along the way. We cannot best serve the children in our community without your generosity, and we hope you believe as we do that there is no more important responsibility than that of taking care of the healthcare needs of the children we serve every day. Sincerely, Eleanor M. Goode Chairman Chris Broughton-Spruill President PEEK INSIDE: Friendly Faces Meet the Chairman of Pediatrics Our First 90 Years A Journey through Time Combining Forces Service Listings on Day One A Journey through Time Children’s Hospital has been providing specialty care to children for nearly a century. Here are some key highlights in the first 90 years of our journey. April 28, 1920 – The charter to create Crippled Children’s Hospital is signed. The new hospital is located in the Dooley Hospital building, now part of the VCUHS campus, with medical supervision being provided by physicians at the Medical College of Virginia. May 11, 1928 – The new Crippled Children’s Hospital building on Brook Road opens with a $500,000 bequest from Sallie May Dooley. March 1950 – Construction of the physical therapy, occupational therapy and isolation and recovery rooms is complete, allowing Children’s Hospital to provide new services to the area’s pediatric population. January 1, 1982 – The hospital changes its name from Crippled Children’s Hospital to Children’s Hospital to better reflect the range of services available to pediatric patients. June 24, 1984 – Construction is complete on a 36-bed inpatient nursing unit, operating rooms and dental clinic. April 1997 – The Richmond Cerebral Palsy Center combines with Children’s Hospital, expanding the scope of services available to CP Center patients and enhancing Children’s Hospital medical and clinical staff. Hospital Highlights Although there continue to be many opportunities for growth, Children’s Hospital will provide an impressive array of pediatric services when it joins operations with VCU Health System on July 1. On Day One we will: • Add our five core programs, including a 47-bed Transitional Care Unit, Children’s Feeding Program, Dental Program and Outpatient Therapies and Clinics with more than 65,000 annual visits, to services provided through VCUHS’s pediatric emergency room, 40-bed NICU, 17-bed PICU, traditional inpatient beds, outpatient primary and specialty medicine and surgical services, diagnostic and interventional services, and specialized programs like burn and transplant units. • Employ nearly 1,100 full-time and 1,200 parttime individuals who provide nationally-recognized care to children. • Offer 10 locations for care including Children’s Hospital’s Brook Road campus and four therapy center locations and VCUHS’s locations at the MCV Campus, VCU Medical Center at Stony Point, Stony Point Surgery Center, Center for Sleep Medicine, and Developmental Pediatrics at the Seaboard Building. Meet the Specialist One of the benefits of joining operations is the ability to recruit new pediatric specialists to the region. We’ll introduce you to some of these faces each quarter. Meet Bruce K. Rubin, MD, Chair of the Department of Pediatrics and Professor in the VCU School of Engineering since July 2009. Previous position – Professor and Vice Chair for Research in the Pediatrics Department and Professor of Physiology and Pharmacology at Wake Forest University, Professor of Biomedical Engineering with the Virginia Tech-Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences Clinical & research interests – pediatric pulmonary expert focusing on cystic fibrosis, childhood asthma and other chronic lung diseases Awards & achievements – 2008 Forrest M. Bird Lifetime Scientific Achievement Award (top research honor given by the American Respiratory Care Foundation and the American Association of Respiratory Care), serves on the editorial board of 12 pulmonary journals and has published more than 200 research papers and chapters, holds five patents Education – undergraduate bachelor of science in math and physics, master of engineering and medical degrees from Tulane University, MBA from Wake Forest University, Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University Other professional experience – St. Louis University School of Medicine, University of Alberta, Canada and Queen’s University at Kingston, Ontario Q&A Ninety years after opening our doors, Children’s Hospital is getting ready for some big changes this year. These changes present exciting opportunities for our children and our community but also create many questions. Read on for answers to some of the most frequently-asked ones. Q: Children’s Hospital and VCU Health System were in talks to build a full-service hospital several years ago, but those plans were not carried out. How is the current plan different or more likely to be successful? A: Our intention always has been to fill the critical need in the community for spe- cialty pediatric services. The discussions in 2007 revolved around building a freestanding, full-service children’s hospital that required a large capital investment. The current discussions are very practical – how best to build upon the current, leading expertise within each organization in order to retain and recruit the top pediatric specialists and improve pediatric services to children in our community. With the appointment of Dr. Bruce Rubin (see opposite page) as the Chair of the Department of Pediatrics in the VCU School of Medicine, the time is right for these discussions. Q: Are you going to build a new hospital? Will you be operating out of existing facilities? A: There are no immediate plans to build a full-service, stand-alone children’s hospital. Both organizations will continue to provide their core services from their existing campuses for the foreseeable future, including Children’s Hospital’s campus on Brook Road and four community therapy centers. Q: Can you give some examples of how the two organizations will work together to improve pediatric services in the Richmond area? A: Our joint goal is to create a stronger foundation that can nurture and support ex- cellence in pediatric care for children and families in our community long into the future. Our organizations have been collaborating for years to enhance pediatric services through VCUHS physician clinics held at Children’s Hospital’s Fredericksburg Therapy Center, consultations by VCUHS physicians for residents of Children’s Hospital’s TCU, and, most recently, a joint NICU Follow-Up Clinic held at Children’s Hospital. Q: Aren’t other hospitals in Richmond providing specialty pediatric care? A: Our combined organization will provide a full continuum of specialty healthcare built on a strong foundation of clinical and academic excellence. There isn’t an organization in the Richmond area that currently provides that level of specialty pediatric care. Q: How will joining operations provide the kind of pediatric specialty care that is found in major children’s hospitals in other cities? A: Studies show that the country’s best children’s hospitals are all either directly or in- directly tied to an academic institution because of the opportunities for learning through research, education and clinical care. We believe this is the best model for us to follow in order to provide outstanding pediatric care to the children and families in our area. Q: What will happen to Children’s Hospital Foundation? A: In order to support and preserve the 90-year legacy of Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital Foundation will remain intact and become an independent foundation. The Foundation will continue to raise funds to support pediatric healthcare just as it has in the past. The primary focus of the Foundation, after the combination, will be to fund pediatric initiatives of Children’s Hospital of Richmond. A Journey through Time 1997 – Children’s Hospital opens its first community-based therapy center, located on Midlothian Turnpike in Richmond’s Southside, to meet additional need for outpatient physical, occupational and speech therapy. Eleven years later, Children’s Hospital opens its fourth therapy center in Petersburg. 1998 – Children’s Feeding Program begins seeing patients through intensive day patient programs and outpatient clinics. One of less than 30 programs nationwide, Children’s Feeding Program attracts patients from many states and countries. On May 3, 2010, the first monthly Feeding clinic is held at the Fredericksburg Therapy Center. 1999 – A 12-bed Transitional Care Unit opens to provide round-the-clock skilled nursing care to children from infancy through age 21. To meet growing demand, the TCU expands to 23 beds in 2002 and 47 beds in 2008. March 10, 2010 – Children’s Hospital and VCUHS announce formal talks to join operations. April 28, 2010 – The Boards of Directors for both organizations sign a binding agreement to solidify their plans. Specialty Services for Children Locations By combining operations, Children’s Hospital and VCU Health System have the opportunity to provide a worldclass continuum of care for children in our region who have complex illnesses and conditions. This partnership combines the clinical and academic expertise of VCUHS with Children’s Hospital’s focus on children with special needs.

A brief online survey of local parents was conducted to help determine the most appropriate name for our combined operations, and Children’s Hospital of Richmond emerged as the clear choice. We believe this name acknowledges our heritage of care while forming a new identity for local pediatric healthcare that inspires confidence. Our goal is to help families and other caregivers make smart, informed choices about their child’s health and to feel confident about the excellent pediatric care our new organization will continue to provide. In the coming months, you may read about additional changes to our logo and the look of our printed and online materials. Even in times of change, our commitment to providing excellent pediatric healthcare remains strong and will grow to continue meeting the needs of the children, families and community we serve. www.childrenshosp-richmond.org (804) 321-7474 Heart to Heart lunteer Stories H EVLo P ING HANDS Volunteers Help Hospital Go Green Gifts F Driving Down the Bunny Trail or nearly 10 years, Kohl’s Department Stores have been supporting Children’s Hospital Foundation with monetary donations and volunteer support for hospital programs and special Staff News events.

On May 6, members of the Senior Board celebrated its 90th anniversary with a luncheon at the Country Club of Virginia. Hospital representatives and members of the Junior Board also attended the celebratory event, which recognized long-standing members and past presidents and highlighted the Board’s contributions and history. “The first Women’s Auxiliary was a hands-on labor of love to benefit the children and medical professionals who looked after the kids,” commented Katie Taylor, Senior Board President. “We’ve had generations of families serve on the board and have some members who got involved because they have children served by Children’s Hospital or another children’s hospital.” Although Senior Board members no longer collect canned goods to feed patients or host the same events they did in 1920, today their fundraising efforts focus on two annual activities – the Wishing Well program and the Children Fore Children golf tournament.
