Thomas B. Bates (posthumously) In 2007, when Palmetto Health Foundation was in the midst of a $20 million capital campaign to expand and renovate Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital to become South Carolina’s first freestanding children’s hospital, Tom Bates made a significant gift—$1 million. This was the largest individual gift received for the campaign and the second largest individual gift ever received by Palmetto Health Foundation. Bates’ gift named the Tom Bates Day Hospital at Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital. When Bates toured Children’s Hospital and met the care team, he realized their commitment and noted the “beautiful things they do for children every day.” He was most pleased that his gift would help provide a restful place for families to take their children for care without requiring inpatient hospitalization. Prior to his gift to Children’s Hospital, Bates, a retired financial consultant and auditor with Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina, made a significant gift to Spring Valley High School to build Bates Hall, the first freestanding wrestling facility of its kind in the state. Bates died in September 2010. James S. Konduros, Esq. In 1998, Baptist Medical Center and Richland Memorial Hospital became one integrated health care system— Palmetto Health Alliance. The alliance was significant news for our community and garnered Palmetto Health national attention. For two large, competing hospital systems to become one, years of planning and preparation, with the right leaders in place, was critical. Jim Konduros, Esq., co-founder of the McNair Law Firm, was a trusted advisor to the alliance team, as he helped navigate countless legal and regulatory concerns in the process. His tenacity for a successful merger coined him the nickname, Donor Recognition Event/Auction Preview | Friday, Nov. 20 5 “Coach K.” Years prior to the merger, Konduros’s diligent work as chief legal counsel for Baptist Healthcare System set the tone for his successful outcomes on the Palmetto Health Alliance team. In the years that followed, Konduros’s relationship with Palmetto Health remained strong, as he and his family continued to support the hospital through significant gifts to Palmetto Health Foundation for a variety of programs at Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital including the Children’s Hospital Capital Campaign, Pediatric Neurology, Child Life, Pediatric Palliative Care Program, Sickle Cell and Reach Out and Read. Most recently, Konduros established the Konduros Fisherman Fund Endowment for Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital, with the initial earnings benefiting the Child Abuse Medical Assessment Program. P. Prithvi Reddy, MD, FACS, FAAP As a “Founding Physician” of Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital, Dr. Prithvi Reddy was a well-loved and respected leading physician for many years at Children’s Hospital. His unwavering commitment to children’s health care and innovative ideas for pediatric surgery was vital to his success as a distinguished member of the Palmetto Health Richland medical staff and leadership team. During his tenure, he was a founding member of Pediatric Surgeons of South Carolina, chief of the Children’s Hospital medical staff, senior medical director for Surgery at Palmetto Health Richland and a member of the Children’s Hospital Board from 2005 to 2006. Dr. Reddy’s personal contributions and efforts to strengthen the relationship between the Hospital and Foundation were instrumental to the success of the Children’s Hospital Capital Campaign and Pediatric Surgery Campaign. Over the years, Dr. Reddy was presented numerous awards, including the 2005 Derrick/Lynch Champion of Children Award and the 2005 Pediatric Hall of Fame Award from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics. In 1998, 2003, 2004 and 2005, he received the Outstanding Clinical Faculty Award, presented by general surgery residents at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine. Dr. Reddy retired in 2012 after 36 years of service to Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital. 6 Donor Recognition Event/Auction Preview | Friday, Nov. 20 (CONTINUED) Other community leaders who are Foundation Fellows: Eugene D.

Some patients experience a life-altering condition or injury and require specialized rehabilitation. Because an inpatient pediatric rehabilitation program does not exist at our Children’s Hospital— or anywhere in South Carolina—the lives of many patients and families are turned upside down because they have to go out-of-state for care. Families are often unexpectedly uprooted for months at a time. Shawn Elliott, interim head football coach at The University of South Carolina, and Eric Elkins have teamed up with Palmetto Health Foundation to create a special fund, the Double E Fund, to provide funding for an inpatient pediatric rehab program right here in our community so families can sleep in their own beds at night. Tonight, you can make an investment in Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital by providing specialized equipment for the rehab program. To participate in the fund-a-need live auction, use your bidding card to donate. Simply raise it, and the auctioneer will acknowledge your gift. A volunteer will greet you for payment information. You can also reply to any Qtego text with GIVE and the dollar amount you would like to donate. For example, to donate $100 to the Fund-A-Need, reply to any Qtego text with GIVE100 and send.

Their hand-painted works of art are on display and up for bid. 24 2015 Miracle Children treated at Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital Clay Dixon In August 2007, first grader Clay Dixon was referred to a speech therapist because his teacher was having difficulty understanding him. After a routine evaluation and subsequent visit to Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital in 2008, doctors discovered a mass on Clay’s brain. At the age of 6, Clay was diagnosed with a stage II Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Giloma, an extremely slow growing tumor that wrapped itself around his brain stem. This tumor is inoperable and often considered terminal. However, while Clay’s tumor is not going away, it also is not growing. Today, Clay is a teenager and an honors student and is a wonderful advocate for CAMP KEMO Programs. Sara Duncan In September 2013 at the age of 4, Sara Duncan was diagnosed with stage IV High Risk Neuroblastoma, a very rare childhood cancer. In the 18 months following her diagnosis, Sara endured several rounds of high intensity chemotherapy, antibody therapy and radiation. She underwent surgeries to remove her tumors and left kidney and received a complete stem cell transplant. As of March 2015, Sara has no evidence of the disease and is currently participating in a Phase II Clinical Trial preventative therapy for patients in remission from Neuroblastoma. Sara’s parents, David and Michelle, had a previous experience with Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital through their other children, which reassured them that Sara would receive the best possible care. With the help of her dedicated medical team, Sara stayed on track with her treatment while Child Life specialists helped make her stay as fun as possible. The Duncan family praises the hospital for being a place that “you can trust to give the best possible care to your child along with making sure they are able to be a child.” Today, Sara is a lively first grader who enjoys softball, horseback riding and playing the violin. She hopes to one day be able to sing and play music like a “rock star princess!” 25 John and Phillips Marshall When John and Phillips Marshall were born 12 weeks early in July 2011, they both weighed less than three pounds. Immediately after birth, they were rushed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital. Phillips was initially placed on a ventilator for a few days, and then he and John both had to use a CPAP machine to help their lungs expand. After being taken off the CPAP machine, their next challenge was to learn to feed. After 106 days spent at Children’s Hospital, the premature twins went home with their parents. Today, John and Phillips are “as good as gold” as two happy, smiling twin boys. The Marshalls distinctly remember a conversation with Darlene, a NICU nurse practitioner, who told them that if they could not go home and sleep at night, then the NICU staff was not doing their job. The Marshalls feel these words exemplify the attitudes, practice and methods of care of the NICU staff. “The nurses, doctors and staff at the NICU not only befriended us, but also became our family,” recall the Marshalls. “They loved our boys, and we know that with all of our hearts as parents. Our boys were cared for as we would have cared for them at home, and we truly believe they would not be where they are today had they not been helped by the Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital NICU team.” Lila Mozingo Before Lila Mozingo was born in May 2011, her parents, Padgett and Mark, learned she had an AV canal defect that would require open heart surgery. Three days after she was born, though, Lila needed emergency surgery for a malrotated intestine and was later diagnosed with Hirschsprung’s Disease. She stayed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital for two-and-a-half months and went through four surgeries, extensive therapy and countless tests. When she was 6 months old, Lila had open heart surgery and continues to return to Children’s Hospital for follow-up care. Today, Lila is a thriving, limitless four-year-old, and the Mozingos give credit to the care provided to them by the doctors and staff at Children’s Hospital. “The quality of care was outstanding, and our sweet girl was never treated with anything but the kindest, most compassionate care,” said Padgett. “We’re blessed to have this quality facility right here in our community.” 26 Zoe Tipping On April 21, 2014, a routine family trip to the zoo ended in panic when Courtney Tipping found blood in her daughter Zoe’s urine. After rushing to the doctor, she was taken to Children’s Hospital where she was diagnosed with a stage IV Wilm’s Tumor. The tumor started in her kidneys but had spread to her lungs and vena cava. Zoe’s parents, Courtney and Allen, describe Children’s Hospital staff as being like family to them. Zoe remembers playing with her Child Life specialists while receiving treatment, and Courtney and Allen felt that the hospital staff loved and cared for the Tipping family as their own. After spending time in the hospital during Zoe’s treatment, her parents want others to know that “you can trust you will be well taken care of in all ways.” Today, Zoe is a happy 4-year-old who hopes to be a chef one day. She is excited to sing to Jesus and receive presents from Santa this Christmas. 27 Two Men and a Truck will provide delivery for full size trees purchased for $500 or more, or you can pay $100 to get your tree delivered within a 30-mile delivery radius from downtown Columbia.
