As you read this issue of About Children’s you will notice a
common theme: generous donors make possible our work on behalf of
children and their families. Everywhere you look at Children’s Hospital
of Michigan, you’ll see evidence of donor generosity – from the molecular biology experiments we’re conducting in our research laboratories to
the new Family Center on the fourth floor. Through their contributions,
our donors are involved in everything from programs that directly
benefit our young patients to cutting-edge research. Their support
has been truly overwhelming. In this issue you’ll read about individuals,
families, corporations and non-profit groups working together to
support the mission of Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Sometimes
they organize events and raise funds on our behalf. Other times they
make generous contributions from their personal savings. But either
way, we couldn’t provide Michigan’s most advanced pediatric care
without them. We appreciate their support – and yours.
Sincerely,
Larry E. Fleischmann, M.D.

Katie’s�Story:�
The�
Best�Care�Around
‘‘
My experience at the
hospital was great…In
a way, going back there
feels like going home.
’’
Katie Dittus
ane Dittus knew something was wrong with her 10-year-old
daughter Katie.
Her smile looked crooked and even though she managed
to sing in the choir that morning at Kirk in the Hills Church, she slept
all afternoon and had a terrible headache.
The next day, Katie’s pediatrician ordered a CAT scan and discovered
a brain tumor.
“He said, “‘If this was my child, I’d head to Children’s Hospital of
Michigan right now,’” recalled Jane. ‘“They are equipped to handle this
stuff. Go home and pack.’’’ And he was right. We couldn’t have gotten
better care anywhere else.”
The doctors at Children’s Hospital of Michigan had Katie in the
operating room the very next morning. After the surgery, Katie
went through five weeks of daily radiation treatments and a year of
chemotherapy – and she never missed swim practice at the Bloomfield
Surf Club throughout the whole time.
Today, Katie is an active 15-year-old in the tenth
grade at Lahser High School who is busy with dance
lessons, homework and serving as the first youth elder
at her church. Her dream is to attend a small college
and teach the third grade.
The Dittus Family feels a deep connection with
the hospital. Last Christmas, they held a party and
collected toys for hospitalized patients. They have
also participated in fundraising events that helped
raise more than $50,000 for Leukemia Research Life,
an organization that supports medical research at
Children’s.
“My experience at the hospital was great,” said
Katie. “At first, I was afraid. But everybody told me
that everything would be ok and I believed them. Now,
when I go back there, everybody recognizes me and tells
me I look good. And I feel good. In a way, going back
there feels like going home.”
Robot�Sidekicks�
−�Providing�
Expert�Care�From�Anywhere
very superhero needs a sidekick. Thanks to new
technology a pilot group of superhero physicians at
Children’s Hospital of Michigan now have their own
sidekicks – robots that help them provide expert care at any hour
of the day or night.
A pair of five-foot-tall, 200-pound robots are currently being
tested by six pediatric specialty surgeons at Children’s Hospital of
Michigan. While the robots don’t have any superpowers, they’re
enabling the busy surgeons to be in more than one place at a time.
“If a patient comes into the emergency room and needs to
be seen by a neurosurgeon, the surgeon can see that patient almost
immediately – even if he’s in another part of the hospital or at
home,” says Michael Klein, M.D., Surgeon-in-Chief at Children’s
Hospital of Michigan. “The benefit to the patient is they get to
see the most expert person more quickly and more often than
they normally would,” says Dr. Klein.
With a computer screen for a head and a real-time video
camera for eyes and ears, the robots can be operated by remote
control from another part of the hospital or even from home.
The hospital currently has two robots – one in the Emergency
Department and another on the fifth floor, but wireless
internet technology throughout the hospital means the
robots can go anywhere in the building.
The surgeons participating in the robot pilot currently have
remote control systems in their homes. A remote control system
is also available in the surgical suite at Children’s Hospital of
Michigan – enabling the surgeons to visit patients via the robot
when they are between surgical procedures.
According to Dr. Klein, other DMC hospitals will soon
have their own robots. These mobile robots extend the robotic
technology launched at Children’s Hospital in 2002 with its
nationally – leading Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation
Computer-Assisted Robot-Enhanced Surgery Program.

Family�Center�Gets�
Extreme�Makeover
he Family Center at Children’s Hospital of Michigan recently
got an extreme makeover – a remarkable renovation that’s
helping the families of seriously ill patients.
In November, the Family Center was re-opened after an extensive
renovation aimed at giving families a more comfortable place to rest
and relax. The 3,300-square-foot space is located between the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
(PICU).
“The Family Center is intended to provide a safe haven for families
who are here with their children through very serious illnesses,” says
Bev Crider, manager of Family Centered Care at Children’s Hospital of
Michigan. “It’s understandable that parents and family members don’t
want to be far away when a child is critically ill. But families still need
time to rest and recharge.”
Before the renovation, the Family Center was just a large, open space
with couches, televisions and a playhouse for kids. According to Celia
Thurston, manager of Spiritual Care at Children’s Hospital of Michigan,
the old space wasn’t designed for large numbers of families in stressful
situations. It was overly lit and frequently noisy.
“The space just wasn’t working for the families. The environment
needed to support families in crisis. You do that by thinking about their
needs,” Celia says.
Families with critically ill children require gathering space and quiet
places to rest, as well as essentials
like showers, lockers, bathrooms,
linens, snacks, and coffee.
A donor’s visit made
this all happen.
Children’s Hospital of Michigan was grateful to receive a wonderful gift
from a generous friend in the community who strongly believed in the need
to redesign the space. Bathrooms and showers were added. Separate spaces
were created to give families more privacy and more options. The Detroit Red
Wings also “hit the ice” with additional funding that enabled the construction
of the Hockeytown Kids Wing, a special area of the Family Center with bistro
tables, a big-screen TV and lots of Detroit Red Wing memorabilia.
“Providing for the family is one more way we care for children,” says Bev
Crider. “The family is the constant in the child’s life. Doctors, teachers and
therapists all come and go, but family is the one thing that remains constant.
So it’s important that we support families while they care for their children.”
MAKING IT POSSIBLE
An anonymous donor’s commitment to the renovation of the Family Center
led to the partnership with the Detroit Red Wings.
According to Anne Marie Krappmann, Community Relations Manager of the
Detroit Red Wings, the hockey team’s donation came from a giving program
called the Red Wings Wish Club. Through the program, fans who make a
minimal donation to Children’s Hospital of Michigan can have a message
posted on the scoreboard during Red Wings games.
“Over the years, we’ve raised quite a bit of money through the Wish Club,”
Anne Marie says. “And when we heard about the renovation project with the
Family Center, we took a portion of the proceeds and put it toward building
the Hockeytown Kids Wing.”
A special thanks to the Red Wings and our anonymous friend!

First-ever�Immunization�
�
Blitz�A�Collaborative�Effort
s Children’s Hospital pediatrician, Dr. Teresa Holtrop
immunized kids in one Detroit public school last fall,
the school principal told her a heart-wrenching story.
“He said that sometimes kids were out of school for weeks at a time
because parents hadn’t gotten them immunized and back into school,”
said Dr. Holtrop, the medical director of the CATCH Pediatric Mobile
Health Programs at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. “We tend not to
talk about this stuff, but it’s an issue we all have to face.”
In a massive immunization blitz last fall, the hospital, in collaboration
with a number of organizations, including the Detroit Public Schools and
Henry Ford Health System, met that issue head-on.
The immunization blitz was one of many mobile health activities
made possible by a five-year $1-million grant from the CATCH Charity
and a $1-million grant from the Henry Ford II Foundation.
As a result, 1,350 kids got the immunizations they needed to stay in
school and stay healthy. Five teams visited 110 Detroit public schools
with the greatest need for immunizations, including Webster, Campbell
and Dewey Schools, from September 20 to October 15.
“This was way beyond a traditional school immunization fair,” said
Dr. Holtrop, the mother of two daughters. “It almost felt like a military
operation, with the goal being to update immunization records and
immunizations in kids.”
To get the job done, the teams set up computers, phone banks and
coolers with dry ice to transport chicken-pox vaccine at a central
location dubbed “Ground Zero”.
Wayne State University pre-med and medical students volunteered
their time and helped with crowd control. Not only did kids get vaccinations, the teams helped to update databases on immunization records for
more than 3,000 children.
At Biddle Elementary School, one mom came in with three children.
Only one child was registering for school, but the team took
care of all of her kids.
Pictured beside the CATCH van are:
Dr. Charles Barone (Henry Ford Health
System); Dr. Theresa Holtrop, CATCH
program medical director; Jim Hughes,
CATCH Executive Director; and
Richard Kramer, CHM Executive
Director of Development.
“She was so happy that we were there,” recalled Dr. Holtrop.
“We encountered a lot of grateful parents.”
As Dr. Holtrop puts it, the effort was “all about mobilizing a
whole community to make something work for kids.”
“What this says about Children’s Hospital of Michigan is
that we’re not just our four walls,” she said. “We reach into the
community and work collaboratively with other organizations.
We work as advocates to effect changes in systems that improve
the health of children.”
The best news for parents and kids is that there are plans for
a second immunization blitz in September 2005.
CATCH EXPANDS MISSION
Edsel B. Ford II
When former Detroit Tiger manager Sparky Anderson created his CATCH Charity
for Children in 1987, his goal was to help Detroit’s neediest kids.
The CATCH safety net expanded in September 2004 with the launching of
the CATCH Pediatric Mobile Health Programs, an outreach initiative in collaboration
with Children’s Hospital of Michigan and Henry Ford Health System.
This unique program brings free basic health services to children who experience
barriers to healthcare, including lack of transportation and no insurance.
CATCH says it is responding to a “need that is staggering.”
Prior to the CATCH sponsored immunization blitz Detroit’s children were
suffering from rates of immunization lower than anywhere else in the U.S., other
than Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana. They also suffer higher rates of lead
poisoning and asthma.
“The expansion of our mission not only helps service a need, it echoes what
Sparky envisioned when he started CATCH and that’s to provide assistance to the
neediest children in our own backyard,” said CATCH Board Chairman Edsel B. Ford II.

He wanted to

for him, but a
legacy for his
entire family.
’’
Paul, Marie, and
Frank Pellerito.
aul Yanouni of Grosse Pointe Woods led a simple life. He didn’t
believe in spending money on frivolous luxuries. When something
broke, he fixed it.
He was frugal – but not out of necessity. When the 75-year-old retired
barber died in April 2004, he left a sizeable inheritance to Children’s Hospital
of Michigan.
“My Uncle Paul never had children, he never married,” says Marie Pellerito
of Rochester. “But he always had a soft spot for children, especially children
with health problems.”
In his last days, Mr. Yanouni told his niece and nephews – Marie, Frank
and Paul Pellerito – that he’d decided to leave a portion of his estate to
Children’s Hospital of Michigan. They understood their uncle’s wishes and
honored his request by attending to the designation of this gift to Children’s
Hospital of Michigan.
The Yanouni family has a history of a rare bone defect called osteogenisis
imperfecta. Over the years, many members of the family have suffered with the
disease – including Marie.
“When I was a child, I was breaking bones every six months,” she says.
“Uncle Paul saw me, he saw the suffering and I think that’s one of the reasons
he wanted to help kids with health problems.”
Mr. Yanouni’s generous donation will be utilized to
establish the Yanouni/Pellerito Program for Nutrition
and Bone Health in Children. The money will support
research into osteogenesis imperfecta and other bone
deficiencies.
“Much of Uncle Paul’s money was
passed down to him by his parents and I
think he felt obligated to pass that money
along. He wanted to leave behind a
legacy – not just for him, but a legacy
for his entire family.”

atherine Sherbin, 13, wanted to do something special
for Children’s Hospital of Michigan patients as she
celebrated her recent Bat Mitzvah.
So the seventh-grader at Derby Middle School in Birmingham
decided to put together special backpacks filled with goodies for
teenage patients as part of her community-service requirement.
She asked a dozen local businesses to make contributions of things
like videotapes, caps and lip gloss, and put together 50 backpacks.
“My sisters have been patients at the hospital and I know that
place is amazing,” said Katherine. “That’s what inspired me. It felt
awesome to know I was doing something good for other kids.”
Katherine said she also wanted to follow in the footsteps of
her family when it came to supporting the hospital. Katherine’s
father Aaron is the past president of the Festival of Trees board
of directors and her family, along with the Keywell and Purther
families, sponsored a hydrocephalus conference and lecture series.
But the backpacks were only part of the teen’s plan to help
other kids.
During her Bat Mitzvah, Katherine also asked that, in lieu of
giving her a gift, each of her friends bring a board game to donate
to the hospital. The games – more than
300 – filled the family’s entire GMC Yukon.
“It was just perfect,” said her mother,
Elizabeth. “We are so involved in the
hospital that it was a natural fit for her.”

Caring�Pairing:�From�India�with�Love��
here’s an expression in India: “It is written upon your forehead.”
It means something is fate, destiny.
That’s how Yaddanapudi Ravindranath, M.D. – or Dr. Ravi,
for short – feels about his wife, Kanta Bhambhani, M.D., and the way
they met at Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
Both physicians are from India, but he is from the
South and she is from the North.
“In the normal course of events in India,
I don’t think we would have met,” Dr. Ravi says.
“You could say it was fate that we came all this
way to meet here.”
Dr. Bhambhani agrees. “Absolutely. There is no
way we would have met in India.”
But, for two young physicians dedicated to
helping kids with cancer and blood diseases,
Children’s Hospital of Michigan was the perfect
place to meet.
They met in 1971 when Dr. Ravi was an
attending physician at Children’s Hospital of
Michigan and the young Dr. Bhambhani was a
resident. They had a professional relationship
for a few years, then became closer in 1975.
They were married the next year.
Since then, the hematology/oncology specialists have worked together to provide expert
care to children with cancer, leukemia, sickle cell
anemia and other blood diseases. Additionally,
Dr. Ravi conducts basic research to better understand blood diseases at a molecular and genetic
level. Dr. Ravi holds The Georgie Ginopolis

�
Joey�Harrington��
ant to find out how much kids love Joey
Harrington? Just go to a Detroit Lions home game
and count the number of children in the stands
wearing the young quarterback’s #3 jersey. It’ll be halftime
before you’re done.
And it seems the feeling is mutual – Joey loves kids too.
“I’ve always liked working with kids,” the Lions quarterback
says. “Back in Oregon, I worked with the Shriner’s Children’s
Hospital there. And when I came to Detroit my rookie year,
I knew I’d get involved with Children’s Hospital of Michigan
eventually.”
But he didn’t know he’d soon be spending time in the
hospital himself. In December of his rookie season, Joey
experienced an irregular heartbeat during a game against
Tampa Bay. He left the game and was transported to a local
hospital, where he later had a cardiac ablation procedure to
repair an electrical disturbance in his heart.
Joey missed the last two games of that season, but made
a complete recovery. Now, in his characteristic positive
attitude, he sees only the good that came out of it.
“After I had my heart procedure, that’s when it hit me
that I could really do some good with this,” he says. “I can tell
kids who are going through the same type of procedure that
‘hey, I’ve been through it and everything turned out OK.’”
Since then, Joey has found other ways to help kids. In
2002, he and his family established the Joey Harrington
Family Foundation to support local and national non-profit
organizations working to improve healthcare and education
for children. The foundation has made financial donations to
many children’s organizations, including a $25,000 gift towards
the purchase of a special cryoblation machine for the Pediatric
Cardiology program at Children’s Hospital of Michigan.

New�Board�Chairman�
Shares�Vision
ohn D. Baker, M.D. has spent the last 36 years helping
patients with eye problems. But the pediatric ophthalmologist now has a different sort of vision on his mind – the
long-term vision for Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
After serving the hospital on both hospital and board committees
for several years, Dr. Baker was recently appointed Chairman of the
Board. In addition to his new leadership role, Dr. Baker will continue
to practice pediatric ophthalmology and teach ophthalmology residents
when they come to Children’s.
“I came to Children’s Hospital in 1966
and I just fell in love with the place,” says
Dr. Baker. “And the love is still there. I
just enjoy being in the presence of all
the people that choose to work here.”
As Chairman, Dr. Baker and his
fellow board members see a number
of challenges and opportunities for
Children’s Hospital of Michigan in the
coming years. The first and perhaps most
urgent is the need to expand the hospital.
“The number of children the hospital
is serving continues to grow. The number
John D. Baker, M.D.
of services we’re providing continues to
grow,” he says. “In order to continue that growth and serve the
children of Michigan and the surrounding states, we need to add
space to the hospital.”
The board and hospital administrators are looking at a number
of ways to expand the physical structure of the hospital and provide
a more comfortable environment for patients and their families.
Other opportunities for the hospital include developing a system
of outpatient clinics in the suburbs, continuing to recruit worldrenowned physicians and researchers, and continuing to invest in
new technologies and new research.
While he says there is much to be done, Dr. Baker sees a bright
future for the hospital – largely because of the men and women
who work at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. “The hospital is
really blessed because it truly works as a family,” he says. “Everyone
involved with the hospital is here because they believe in what we
are doing.”
A Tribute
to Our
Past Chair
William P. MacKinnon
After more
than 20 years
of service to the Children’s
Hospital of Michigan Board
of Trustees – with four of those
years as Chairman of the
Board – William P. MacKinnon
recently concluded his service
to the board.
Under his leadership, the
services of Children’s Hospital
of Michigan grew dramatically
in both volume and variety.
In a resolution, the Board
of Trustees unanimously
expressed their heartfelt
appreciation to Mr. MacKinnon.
“He has been a tireless and
effective advocate for Children’s
Hospital’s mission areas,”
the board resolved. “We wish
him Godspeed in his future
endeavors as a leader in
family life, charitable service,
leadership in industry and
scholarly pursuits.”

’’
any professions show their support for Children’s Hospital of Michigan
with fundraising events, but few do more for the hospital than metro
Detroit firefighters.
Dan McNamara, president of the Detroit Firefighters Association, explains
that firefighters from many different fire departments are interested in helping
Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
“When we make a rescue, we’re concerned about the child,” McNamara says.
“Our concern doesn’t stop at the doorstep when we hand the child off to the
ambulance. We want to follow through and make sure that child receives the best
care so they can get back to a healthy lifestyle.”
As he sees it, the best way to do that is by raising money for the Burn Center
at Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
McNamara’s Detroit Firefighters organization is one of many local firefighter
groups raising money to support Children’s Hospital of Michigan. McNamara
himself is the founder of the annual Detroit Firefighters softball tournament that
has raised more than $500,000 over the last 24 years.
“It’s a big event every year,” he says. “Firefighters come from across the United
States and Canada to compete in the tournament and help us raise money.” All
proceeds go to Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
Other local fire departments also raise funds for the hospital. From 1997 to
2002, Dearborn Firefighters established and funded a $125,000 endowment to
benefit the hospital. They continue to raise money for the
Burn Center at Children’s Hospital of Michigan with
annual events including a Valentine’s Day Dinner
Dance and an Annual Car Raffle.
Even individual firefighters and their
families often join together to help the
hospital. When veteran Detroit firefighter
David Palm, Sr. died in April 2004, his
friends and family knew how to honor his
memory. They threw a party and raised
more than $20,000 for the Burn Center at
Children’s Hospital of Michigan. The party
is now an annual fundraising event. In 2005,
they more than doubled their first event,
raising $50,000.

Kids. This prestigious and competitive grant award is a
$15 million national program of the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation that is designed to reduce and prevent injuries
to children. Our affiliation with the Injury Free Coalition
for Kids qualified us to apply for a grant from the Allstate
Foundation to build a playground.
“At Allstate, our world is about being there for the customer
when something happens – helping them put their lives back
together,” says Bill Ballinger, North Central Region Assistant Vice
President at Allstate Insurance Company. “We can rebuild a house,
we can fix cars, but we can’t repair bodies and we can’t replace
lives. That’s why we’ve worked in recent years to prevent injuries,
accidents and fires.”
Children’s Hospital of Michigan shares Allstate’s commitment
to injury prevention. “We would rather meet children out in the
community and keep them from getting injured than meet them
in our emergency department after an injury,” said Smith.
Community businesses including B and L Landscaping of Oak
Park and Home Depot also contributed to the playground.

he Detroit Medical Center’s popular 29-Minute Emergency Department Guarantee is now available at Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
When a child visits the Emergency Department at Children’s
Hospital, he or she will be seen by a pediatric emergency physician within 29
minutes. That’s a promise.
While the guarantee seems like a customer service initiative, the director
of the Emergency Department at Children’s Hospital of Michigan says it’s more
about quality than convenience.
“Our 29-minute guarantee benefits patients as a quality initiative rather
than just a convenience initiative,” says Steve Knazik, D.O. “Although it
happens to be more convenient for families to be seen sooner, in emergency
medicine we believe that seeing patients sooner also improves the quality of
the care we deliver.”
Since launching the 29-Minute Guarantee in January, the Emergency
Department has met its goal 95 percent of the time. And it often exceeds the
29-minute target. The average wait time in the Emergency Department to see
a doctor is now only 13 minutes.
According to Dr. Knazik, the short wait times are made possible by an
Emergency Department expansion – 18 new exam rooms were added in late
2004. Plus, the Emergency
Department recently implemented new registration,
admission and triage processes
as well as increased staff levels.
“But it’s really a hospitalwide process. It’s not just the
Emergency Department that
made changes to make this
happen,” Dr. Knazik says.
“Everyone in the hospital
has done their part to make
it possible.”

hen Scott and Karyn Grodman learned their two young sons had diabetes,
the West Bloomfield couple was shocked. They had no family history of
diabetes. And even though Scott is a physician, he and his wife had limited
understanding of the disease.
“We went through a five-day hospital program to learn how to manage a child with
diabetes,” Dr. Grodman says. “But after we got through the training, we went home and
looked at each other and said, ‘This is it? This is all we can do?’”
It wasn’t. They decided to start raising money for juvenile diabetes research.
“I enjoy running so we got some family and friends together and had a fundraising
event,” Dr. Grodman says. “We invited people to our house and we had our first run. It
was a simple event. We fed them and we ran and we raised money – and we quickly
found out that people were extremely eager to help in any way they could.”
About 40 people showed up that first year. In the 12 years since, the event has
grown each year. In 2004, almost 400 people participated in the run.
The annual event is now the primary source of revenue for the Grodman Cure
Foundation. Through the foundation, the Grodmans have pledged $200,000 over five
years to fund diabetes research at Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
“We linked up with Children’s Hospital a few years ago and they’ve been very supportive
of our efforts,” Dr. Grodman says. “Doing this helps with the research and it helps raise
awareness. It’s just something we have to do.”
The diabetes research effort at Children’s Hospital of Michigan is directed by Scott A.
Gruber, M.D., Ph.D., FACS, FCP, Professor and Chief of Transplant Surgery at Wayne State
University School of Medicine. Dr. Gruber
has assembled an outstanding team of
investigators conducting cutting-edge
research in the area of pancreatic islet
cell manipulation and diabetes epidemiology.
The goal of the research is to better
understand, prevent and treat insulindependent diabetes.
The next Grodman Cure Foundation
event is “Skate@TheJoe” scheduled for
April 10 at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
Please call 248-366-6904 or visit the web

Lisa Jesswein grew up at Children’s Hospital of
Michigan. Born with kidney dysplasia, she visited the
hospital for monitoring, dialysis or transplant care
almost every week from age 7 to 22. Today, Lisa is a
popular Detroit radio personality. As the co-host of
“Blaine and Lisa in the Morning” on 96.3 WDVD-FM,
she sometimes talks on air about her experiences at
Children’s Hospital of Michigan. At 38, she’s healthy
and still actively involved with the hospital – helping
with fundraising efforts and encouraging people to
consider organ donation.

In 1967, physicians at Children’s Hospital of Michigan learned that
Danielle Wheatley Gehlert had a Wilms tumor on her kidney.
She was 2 years old. Within 24 hours, surgeons successfully removed
the tumor and her kidney. She returned to Children’s Hospital of
Michigan regularly for check ups until she was 16.
Today, Danielle, 39, is a dentist in St. Clair Shores. She and
her husband, Guy, have three young children and she has fond
memories of Children’s Hospital of Michigan. “Every time I went
there, it was a very special experience for me,” Danielle says.
“I just loved going to the hospital, even though I was getting blood
drawn and having tests done. The doctors and nurses made me
feel so special.”

Denzel and Kiara Canales of Detroit were each
diagnosed with sickle cell anemia when they were
infants. They’ve been frequent patients at Children’s
Hospital of Michigan ever since. But it hasn’t slowed
down these incredible kids! At 13, Denzel is in a
gifted program at school and hopes to attend
Stanford University to study aerospace engineering...
or orthopedic surgery. Not to be outdone, 10-yearold Kiara reads at a seventh-grade level and dreams
of going to Princeton University to become a lawyer.

After his neck was broken in two places during
an auto accident at 13, John J. Hertel spent 10 weeks
at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. But months of
physical therapy – and the support of family, friends,
doctors and nurses – led to a full recovery.
Today, John is a high school English teacher –
running the drama program at his school and
coaching junior varsity football. He and his wife,
Amy, live in Richmond, Mich.

In our winter issue, the headline on page 26 stated: “Gene Therapy Helps Local Family Break Cycle.”
It should have said: “Enzyme Replacement Therapy Helps Local Family Break Cycle.”
Also, patient Ricardo Engel is not the youngest child in the world to have enzyme replacement therapy
(as the Winter 2004 story states). Ricardo is one of the youngest children in the United States to have enzyme
replacement therapy for Fabry Disease.
Finally, on page 26, the story about Dr. Ayesha Ahmad suggests that the Genetic Center of Excellence
at Children’s Hospital of Michigan is set up to treat diseases such as “diabetes, strokes and cleft lip-andpalate.” More accurately, we should have simply stated “the Genetic Center of Excellence is designed to
provide coordinated care for children with genetic and metabolic disorders.”

ENDOWMENTS
Several endowments have been established at Children’s Hospital of Michigan by caring members of
our community who share a commitment to improved child health and progressive pediatric medicine.
The generosity of these benefactors is greatly appreciated and helps to ensure the hospital’s financial
future. Endowment funds are established with a minimum gift of $50,000. A portion of the earned
income provides annual support for programs and services vital to the patients in our care; the remaining
income is reinvested to build the fund, creating a lasting legacy for the benefit of generations to come.

Joy of Giving
As a nurse practitioner in the Endocrinology Division at Children’s
Hospital of Michigan, Joy Sneyd knows that children sometimes have
difficulty managing their diabetes. Some low-income families don’t have
telephones and can’t easily contact a healthcare provider with questions
about diabetes care. So Joy decided to do something about it. Working
with others in the community, she started raising money to provide
pre-paid phone cards to families in need. Today that program has
evolved into a toll-free number so parents can report their child’s
blood sugar level by making free calls to the Endocrinology Medical
Team. Joy’s efforts also provide resources to send kids with diabetes
to summer camp. The Diabetes Educational Fund also provides
families with educational materials at the time of diagnosis.
Thanks, Joy!

In Memory – James Lloyd, M.D.
James R. Lloyd, M.D., a pioneer in the treatment of burn injuries and the former Director of the Burn Center at
Children’s Hospital of Michigan died on December 9, 2004. Dr. Lloyd was a pilot in the United States Army Air Force,
who upon his return from World War II, pursued a degree in medicine. He joined Children’s Hospital of Michigan, Wayne
State University and the Detroit Medical Center in 1959 and was amongst the first of those trained in pediatric surgery.
Working together with Clifford D. Benson, M.D., Dr. Lloyd played a key role in establishing the Children’s Hospital of
Michigan Pediatric Surgery Residency Program. He practiced pediatric surgery and taught until his retirement in 1986.
Dr. Lloyd was responsible for many innovations and advances in pediatric surgery including the treatment of pyloric stenosis
and the pathophysiology of necrotizing enterocolitis. He is remembered most for his contributions to the care of burns.
Dr. Lloyd was the lead investigator in the use of Silver Sulfadiazine therapy, teaching doctors and nurses burn wound care
and application of impregnated Silvadene dressings. Dr. Lloyd was an exemplary physician, surgeon, teacher, mentor, and
human being who will truly be missed by his family, colleagues and friends.

or Jim Carr, fundraising for Children’s Hospital of Michigan
is a family tradition.
The 45-year-old has been a member of the Children’s
Hospital of Michigan Foundation Board of Directors since 2004, but his
involvement with the hospital dates back to the early 1960s. That’s when
his older brother, David, was a patient at the old Children’s Hospital.
“David had leukemia. As a boy, I remember going down to the hospital
with him and my mom for his treatments,” Jim says. “My mother saw the
work they were doing in the hematology clinic and she wanted to help.”
Jim’s mother – Joanne Cline Carr – was a long time
volunteer in the hematology-oncology clinic and established
the Child Research Center League (the predecessor of the
Children’s Research Center of Michigan at Children’s Hospital)
to raise money for research into leukemia and other diseases
affecting children. Sadly, David died in 1964 at the age of 7, but
his mother continued her fundraising work. While it was too
late to help her son, she still wanted to help other children.
“At the time David was diagnosed, there was less than a 10
percent survival rate for his type of leukemia. But my mom knew
there were promising things on the horizon. I think that’s one of
the reasons she was so interested in raising funds for research. I
think she hoped it would help save David. Unfortunately, time
was not on her side.”
But her fundraising efforts – and Jim’s later efforts – did
help. The type of leukemia that took David’s life in 1964 now
has a more than 75 percent survival rate.
“So it’s true that research – much of it conducted at
Children’s Hospital of Michigan – did exactly what my mom
had hoped for. It just took longer than she wanted.”
Today, Jim is an investment counselor and he and his wife,
Diane, live in Okemos, Michigan and have two sons: Colin, 17,
and David, 13.
While Joanne Carr passed away in 1998, Jim remembers her
daily with his service to Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
“I serve on the board to honor my mother and my brother,”
Carr says. “It’s a small way I can continue the work my mother
started all those years ago.”
Three generations of the Carr family.

Get Involved?
Get involved with the
Children’s Hospital of
Michigan Auxiliary by
volunteering in the gift
shop, selling holiday cards
or helping with special
events and other
fundraising projects.
“If anyone has a great
idea for a fundraising activity,
we’d love to hear about it,”
says Sharna Epstein.

Hospital of Michigan Auxiliary

oliday cards. The Something Special Gift Shop. Special events.
Over the years, the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Auxiliary
has found dozens of ways to raise money for the hospital. Over
and over again they’ve shown their commitment to the young patients.
Since it was founded in 1949, the Auxiliary has raised over $3.9 million
for Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
According to Sharna Epstein, president of the Auxiliary, most of the
money now comes from gift shop sales.
“The gift shop is the largest single source of income that we give back to
the hospital,” Sharna says. “And it’s really the people who shop and work in
the gift shop who make that possible. The staff there is always very customer
oriented. Over time, a lot of warm relationships have developed between
patients, families and the staff of the gift shop.”
Another major fundraiser for the Auxiliary is designing, printing
and selling Children’s Hospital of Michigan holiday cards. In 2004, the
Auxiliary sold more holiday cards than ever before – selling out of its
entire stock.
Funds raised by the Auxiliary go to support many different projects at
Children’s Hospital of Michigan. The group will fund three major projects
this year, including: 1) purchasing SNUG-CP cotton Lycra® suits that help
stabilize the movements of children with cerebral palsy, allowing them to
achieve higher levels of mobility and control, 2) purchasing new lab equipment that will enable the hospital to be the only center in the state to test
infants for a group of inherited medical conditions, which if not diagnosed
and treated early in life will
result in severe health difficulties
and 3) supporting the purchase
of a new cutting edge cardiac
cryoablation machine which will
allow doctors to perform even
more precise and less invasive
surgeries on children’s hearts.
In addition, the Auxiliary
will support dozens of other
smaller projects in 2005. “We do
everything from funding projects
that provide for the comfort of
patients and families to purchasing equipment that provides
direct patient care,” Epstein says.
This is a listing of fundraising events benefiting Children’s
Hospital of Michigan. For additional details call the contact
