O
n February 22, 2008, members of the WakeMed Foundation Board
listened intently to a proposal delivered by WakeMed Health &
Hospitals President & CEO Dr. Bill Atkinson. He talked about the
obstacles families face when trying to access specialty children’s
services in Wake County and about the “holes” in the availability of
important children’s health care services in our community. He also told us about
WakeMed’s already bursting-at-the-seams pediatric hospital units and the hospital’s
immediate need to expand children’s services and facilities to keep pace with the needs of
our growing region.
Dr. Atkinson and the team who developed the proposal genuinely cared about the health
of area kids. They were pleased to learn that the Foundation Board did, too. The proposal
to raise funds for the construction and expansion of WakeMed Children’s services and
facilities was unanimously accepted by the Board.
The Foundation Board and staff then launched the $20 million Just For Kids Kampaign to
build the first children’s hospital in Wake County and expand children’s services and
programs. It was the first WakeMed project entirely dependent on philanthropic support
from the Foundation and the community. Support from the Foundation and community
was and continues to be critical to WakeMed because, as a private, not-for-profit hospital,
WakeMed is totally self-sustaining. Patient revenue often isn’t enough to cover capital

DEVELOPMENTS
winter 11
From the grand opening festivities last May, to patient move-in on July 8, to today - the staff, administration, pediatric specialists
and volunteers of WakeMed Children’s Hospital continue to focus on positive healing rather than illness or injury. Our newest gem
on the Raleigh Campus continues to attract pediatric patients from our community and beyond.
Thanks to you, our community, the new Children’s Hospital is now a reality. Located on the top floor of the new E Tower, it is the
first and only children’s hospital in Wake County.
This world-class center for children was built without using the health system’s capital dollars. The entire $8.5 million came from
generous individuals, businesses and organizations that understand the ongoing need to grow WakeMed Children’s facilities and
services in order to serve our growing population.
While it is impossible to thank everyone who contributed to the creation of the new Children’s Hospital, we share with you some of
the people and places that represent the WakeMed mission, the spirit of the WakeMed Foundation Just For Kids Kampaign and our
community’s love of children.

Individuals & Families
The people who contributed their time and talents and made financial gifts to the Just For Kids
Kampaign easily surpass 20,000. Their reasons for giving are both thoughtful and personal. We asked a
few of our gracious donors why they chose to support the Just For Kids Kampaign.
The Staff Lounge in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit is
dedicated to the Citizens of the Village of Particelle, Italy,
as a result of a gift from Chuck & Sue Re Corr. Some of the
villagers protected Sue’s father, an escaped British
prisoner of war during World War II. The Re Corrs
discovered Particelle and members of the families who
protected Sue’s father on a trip to Italy and continue to
visit the area each year.

Wes and Janet Chesson’s generous gift in honor of their
dear friends Dr. Jerry & Peg Bernstein led to the creation of
the Jerry C. Bernstein, MD Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in
WakeMed Children’s Hospital. The unit was dedicated on
September 26, 2010.
The Noël family made a gift to the

Large & Small Businesses
WakeMed Foundation Boards Past & Present
From international corporations to one-person shops,
businesses throughout the region made significant
contributions of time, in-kind gifts and dollars to
make WakeMed Children’s Hospital a reality.
Whenever we had a need, an area business was there
to help us, and they continue to enthusiastically lend
their support as we move into the next phase of the
Just For Kids Kampaign. Here are some examples of the
generous and targeted gifts we received from the
business community.

Campaign 2011 – The Next Level
Created in 2004 by forward-thinking friends of the Foundation, Campaign 2011 – The Next Level is a fundraising initiative to help
ensure WakeMed can meet the medical needs of adults and children in our community today and tomorrow. Half of the campaign
dollars support WakeMed’s capital projects such as new cardiac care facilities, Cary Hospital and Emergency Services expansions, and
the construction of WakeMed Children’s Hospital. The remaining funds will boost the Foundation’s endowment to bolster WakeMed’s
future financial strength.

Physicians & Practices
No matter the cause, individual physicians and area practices have always generously supported WakeMed services and people
through WakeMed Foundation efforts. The Just For Kids Kampaign is no exception. Physicians and their staff continue to
contribute to the Just For Kids Kampaign in special, personal ways. From memorializing a colleague to designating funds for a
particular piece of equipment, providers create their own unique ways of giving. Here are several examples of the types of gifts
made to our ongoing campaign by doctors throughout our community.
Memorial Scholarships
During her lifetime, Dr. Marilyn Hicks, a pediatric emergency
medicine physician and past president of Wake Emergency
Physicians PA (WEPPA), was a true champion and advocate
for sick and injured children. With the help of the
Foundation, Dr. Hicks’ colleagues and friends established
the Marilyn Hicks Memorial Fund to support and assist
present and future pediatric emergency medicine fellows in
their quest to become experts in their field. WEPPA
continues to remember Dr. Hicks with their ongoing support
of the Just For Kids Kampaign. As a result, the WakeMed
Children’s Hospital Conference Room is named in her honor.
Support from
Non-pediatric Providers
Generosity for the Just For Kids
Kampaign also comes from specialists
who are not directly involved in
children’s health care issues such as
Cary Cardiology PA and Carolina
Cardiovascular Surgical Associates.
Technology Designations
A first-hand look at the new
Children’s Hospital motivated the
Raleigh Pediatric Associates staff to
further advance the technology
available for kids and providers. They
raised funds to purchase an iPad and
two iPods for the hospital.

Foundations & Organizations
Many philanthropic entities and organizations from our city, region and
state continue to support the WakeMed Children’s and the Foundation’s
mission to build bright, healthy futures for area kids. We realize that the
Just For Kids Kampaign is just one of their many suitors, and we are
privileged to receive their gifts. PICTURED: In addition to their highly anticipated visits
to pediatric patients at WakeMed, the Carolina Hurricanes Kids ‘N Community Foundation
made a gift to the Just For Kids Kampaign to fund a special game for the Children’s
Emergency Department at the Raleigh Campus. The EyeStep interactive, virtual game system
entertains kids and frees parents to focus their attention on their sick or injured child. It was

volunteers to consider a gift to the Just For Kids Kampaign, they generously
responded. The WakeMed Foundation thanks The Volunteers of WakeMed
Raleigh Campus for their $50,000 pledge and the The Volunteers of Cary
Hospital for their $20,000 pledge to the Just For Kids Kampaign.This money

50 miles away and cannot see your child for two months.
Unfortunately, it’s a reality for many U.S. families.”
The most significant ways U.S. families feel the shortage of
pediatric health care providers relate to distance and time.
The National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related
Institutions (NACHRI) recently studied the pediatric specialist
shortage issue. Its researchers found critical shortages in
multiple specialties, including pediatric surgery,
gastroenterology and pulmonology. In at least 16 states, there
are actually no physicians who represent certain subspecialties.
In these states, families must travel long distances to receive
care. For example, children with neuro-developmental
disabilities travel an average of 73 miles to see a subspecialist.
A treatment room means children can have necessary treatments in the
hospital without leaving the floor. This also helps to maintain a child’s
patient room as a “safe place,” free of uncomfortable procedures.

The pediatric subspecialty shortage is not only inconvenient for families. It may also
negatively impact a child’s ability to receive timely care. “The prevailing benchmark in
children’s hospitals for wait times to schedule appointments is two weeks,” according to
NACHRI. “However, for certain pediatric subspecialties experiencing physician
shortages, the wait time far exceeds this standard.” Children can wait up to 10 weeks for
an appointment with specialists such as endocrinologists and gastroenterologists. Even
children in Raleigh and the rest of the Triangle face some of these barriers to care.

Duncan Phillips, MD, and the growing reputation of WakeMed
Children’s as a center of excellence for pediatric surgical care,
more children are coming to WakeMed for procedures.
• Dr. Phillips’ surgical case volume has increased from 690 in
2009 to 900 in 2010 – double the surgical case volume
average among U.S. pediatric surgeons.
These are the reasons why the WakeMed Foundation Just For
Kids Kampaign and the community’s ongoing support is so
critical to area children. WakeMed Children’s needs the
Foundation and our entire community to help ensure current
and future generations have access to the right health care
experts, technology and facilities close to home. Doing this
isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon, and one that is critically
important to run.
• Pediatric surgeries now account for 20 percent of total
surgeries performed at the WakeMed Raleigh Campus.

New tower has a lot of heart
WAKEMED EXPANDS HEART & VASCULAR SERVICES
A
s WakeMed’s reputation as a leading
Heart & Vascular Services provider
continues to grow, so does our need to
expand to meet the needs of the
increasing volume of patients who come
to us for expert cardiovascular care.
To meet that growing demand, WakeMed Heart & Vascular
recently expanded its footprint with the addition of the new E
tower on the Raleigh Campus. Floors two and three of the
tower are strategically designed to
accommodate additional heart and
vascular patients and the advanced
technology and care they require.
The floors boast wide hallways
and very spacious rooms organized
into three zones – one for patients,
one for caregivers and one for
family and loved ones. Each room
has the exact same configuration
Each floor is thoughtfully appointed with comfortable furnishings
and organic elements in keeping with our focus on creating a
healing, restful environment for patients and family members alike.
to further enhance patient safety.
Floor two holds 20 intensive
care beds specifically for Heart & Vascular patients. Additional
space to accommodate more beds is available for future
expansion. Each room is 60 percent larger than the current
intensive care rooms in the main hospital. The beds are
located in the middle of each room and are equipped with
latitude arms that contain all the mechanisms and utilities
necessary for patient care.
Built on the same easy access concept, the nursing
stations are strategically situated so that nurses have a direct
view of patients at all times. The stations are equipped with
the most advanced technology, monitors and supplies so
nurses have what they need right at their fingertips to deliver
outstanding care.
Floor three houses 41 intermediate care beds for Heart &
Vascular patients. Each room is private and is equipped with
its own restroom and shower.
As the busiest heart program in North Carolina, the
WakeMed Heart Center treats more heart patients than
any other hospital in the state. Our outstanding staff of
cardiologists, surgeons, nurses and other specialists use
the latest technology and techniques to perform more
than 28,000 procedures a year.

Love Light Ceremony
A SPECIAL NIGHT
W
akeMed’s annual Love Light Ceremony returned last year with the
rededication of the new Love Light Tree, which now stands in the
courtyard on the Raleigh Campus. The ceremony also included the
dedication of the Ronald McDonald House Family Room, now open in the Children’s
Hospital.
“It was truly a special night, not only for WakeMed, but for the families we serve. We
were honored to combine this wonderful WakeMed tradition with the dedication of our
new Ronald McDonald House Family Room, a much-needed
resource for our pediatric families,” explained Gordon Grubb,
chair, WakeMed Foundation Board.
The Love Light tradition started in 1985 with the generosity of
Dr. Bill and Colleen Lee. Dr. and Mrs. Lee dedicated the first Love
Light Tree to the WakeMed Raleigh Campus in memory of their
son, Matthew William Lee (March 5, 1979 – November 26,
1984). Today, this tradition continues throughout the year as
Love Light Tree donations are made in honor or in memory of
someone special.
Each year, WakeMed invites a family, who has been touched by
the care they received at WakeMed, to help dedicate the Love
Light Tree. The Huebner family – John, Nikki and their son
Lauchlin – were our honored guests. In addition to being our
Love Light family, the Ronald McDonald House Family Room was
dedicated in memory of their daughter Chyler.
“We are truly privileged to begin the partnership with WakeMed – serving families of
sick children. It was also an honor to share the evening with the Huebner family,
dedicating the Family Room in memory of their daughter Chyler,” explained Bill
Donovan, executive director, Ronald McDonald House of Durham.
Following the candlelight ceremony, guests moved inside with their families to join
Twinkle, WakeMed Children’s mascot, and Ronald McDonald, for ornament-making,
holiday goodies and pictures with Santa. Guests also enjoyed live music by the Triangle
Youth Philharmonic Association and Triangle Youth Jazz Ensemble.
We would like to thank these organizations and individuals for their generous contributions to
the Ronald McDonald House Family Room: The Volunteers at WakeMed Raleigh Campus, The
(top) Music by The Triangle Youth
Philharmonic set a wonderful tone for
the evening. (middle) John and Nikki
Huebner share the memory of their

WELCOMES
KEN BURNS
M
ore than 500 friends of the WakeMed
Foundation visited North Ridge Country
Club in November as they welcomed
award-winning documentary filmmaker Ken Burns
during the Society of 1961 Appreciation Gala.
Guests were captivated by Burns as he delivered
a passionate speech, A Treasure House of Nature’s
Superlatives as he reflected on his PBS broadcast,
The National Parks: America's Best Idea. Burns has been
making films for more than 30 years and has directed
and produced some of the most acclaimed historical
documentaries ever made.
Gordon Grubb, chair of the WakeMed Foundation
Board, thanked everyone for their generosity which
helped raise $8.5 million to open the new WakeMed
Children’s Hospital, the first and only for Wake
County. He also encouraged support for the next phase
of the Just for Kids Kampaign – an $8.3 million
initiative to expand and renovate WakeMed’s Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit.
The WakeMed Foundation Society of 1961 was
established to recognize donors who contribute at the
Society Level - $1,350 or above – on an annual basis. It
is named in honor of WakeMed’s founding year, 1961.

Moving Ahead
O
ur efforts to enhance Children’s Services continue as the Foundation staff
and volunteers set their sights on raising funds for a
much-needed expansion of WakeMed’s Level IV Neonatal Intensive
Care Unit (NICU) – the next phase of the Just For Kids Kampaign.
No other hospital in Wake County houses a Level IV NICU. Level IV is the highest designation a
NICU can achieve and likely the reason so many parents and physicians seek our services.
WakeMed needs to expand the NICU for two reasons:
> Capacity – We have 36 NICU isolettes, but our average daily NICU patient
census is 48. We need more room.
> Technology – Technology is now available that can save more premature
babies’ lives and reduce lifelong complications. Children in our area
deserve every fighting chance we can give them.
We’re taking the lead for children in the Triangle and the region because more parents and
providers seek our neonatal specialization and expertise than any other hospital in North
Carolina, and we need to continue to meet their needs. Even the state recognizes our abilities and
status among providers and has already granted our Certificate of Need for the NICU expansion.
Based on projected costs, our goal is to raise $8.3 million for NICU expansion as soon as
possible. The continued generosity of the community for WakeMed Children’s will determine
our ability to expand the NICU – services and enhancements are part of that expansion.
We hope we can count on your continued support of our mission to ensure bright, healthy
futures for area children. For information about the gift and recognition options available to you,
please call the WakeMed Foundation at 919-350-7656 or visit foundation.wakemed.org.

The latest news from WakeMed
A Message from the President & CEO
William K. Atkinson, PhD, MPH
This year, we have much to be
thankful for, particularly the
outstanding community support we
continue to receive for our Children’s
Hospital. Since opening our doors in
June, our beds have remained full -proof of the significant need we are
meeting for the families we serve.
WakeMed recently completed its
fiscal year in an exceptionally strong position. We cared for
more patients than ever in the history of our organization,
having seen patients from all 100 North Carolina counties and
beyond – with nearly one million patient encounters.
These patients and their providers choose us for everything
from primary and emergency care, to the highest level of
critical care, surgery and physical rehabilitation. WakeMed has
always been an organization where the most difficult cases are
handled with a level of expertise and compassion that
demonstrate the exceptional services we provide to this
community. We have established ourselves as the top provider
in Wake County for trauma, comprehensive disaster
preparedness and response, cardiovascular care, neonatal
intensive care, high risk maternal care, comprehensive
rehabilitation medicine, neuro intensive care and more. This
is our commitment to the communities we are fortunate to
serve.
Financially, WakeMed is equally strong and our team
continues to prepare for the changing future of health care. As
a private, not-for-profit organization based in Wake County,
we are here, and our mission remains to serve all the people of
our community. And, we do so without any tax support other
than the limited payments for services we receive from
government-funded Medicare and Medicaid programs. While
WakeMed continues to care for the vast majority of the
uninsured and medically underserved in Wake County, our
organization ended the year with a robust bottom line of more
than $43 million and a 2.26 percent operating margin.
2011 marks the 50th anniversary of our founding. As we
enter the next 50 years, our size, complexity, partnerships
with physicians, and comprehensive scope of critical care
services will serve the community well. But it is you – the
members of our community who have and will continue to
make the biggest difference of all. Together, we have built a
strong, highly valuable asset in WakeMed – one that will have
a significant impact on generations to come.
This year, we will take time to celebrate our successes and
important history, but more importantly, our focus will remain
on our continued strength so WakeMed can continue to serve
the community for the next 50 years. On behalf of the
employees, physicians, volunteers and administration of
WakeMed Health & Hospitals, thank you for your continued
support.
WakeMed Celebrates 50 Years
WakeMed physicians, administrators, employees and
volunteers as well as the community will have opportunities to
participate in WakeMed’s 50th anniversary events throughout
2011. Watch for details, and thank you in advance to all the
Foundation members who
help with historic and other
details as we bring
WakeMed’s past to present
generations.
New COO
In June, Tom Gettinger joined
WakeMed Health & Hospitals as
Executive Vice President & Chief
Operating Officer. He most recently
served as Executive Vice President for
the Moses Cone Health System and
President of Moses Cone Memorial
Hospital in Greensboro, NC. At
WakeMed, he is responsible for the
planning, financial and operational performance of all health
system facilities.
Physicians, Practices Join WakeMed
WakeMed recently welcomed several additions to its growing
Physician Practices division. They include Wake Specialty
Physicians – City Center Medical Group, WakeMed Faculty
Physicians – Raleigh Cardiology and WakeMed Faculty
Physicians – Carolina Cardiology.
33
In late November 2010, City Center Medical Group,
downtown Raleigh’s first internal medicine practice, opened
with a single provider – Mary Forbes, MD. Two additional
physicians – Theresa Amerson, MD, and Susan Weaver, MD –
joined in January. Joining the practice on a part-time basis,
Dr. Weaver is also the senior vice president of Medical Affairs
and WakeMed Physician Practices.
Last fall, Raleigh Cardiology joined WakeMed Physician
Practices, and the practice’s providers recently welcomed Jack
Newman, MD, formerly with North Wake Cardiovascular
Center, to their team. WakeMed Physician Practices cardiology
providers will continue to expand with the addition of Carolina
Cardiology and its three offices (Raleigh, North Raleigh and
Garner) in March.
WakeMed to Expand
Presence in Brier Creek
WakeMed purchased 12.5 acres of land in Brier Creek at the
southwest corner of TW Alexander Drive and ACC Boulevard
for our next healthplex facility. Having broken ground, the new
healthplex will include a stand-alone emergency department
with 12 beds, which will be complemented by laboratory and
imaging services. The facility may also include medical office
space. Anticipated to be completed late fall 2011, this facility
will allow us to serve the emergency health care needs of this
growing community.
