THE 2012-13 FLORIDA FORUM
A “TOUR DE FORCE”
ollowing Dr. Condoleezza Rice’s final lecture of the superbly successful 2011-12 Florida
Forum season, The Women’s Board President Jackie Bargas and incoming Florida Forum
Chairs Martha Baker and Sharon Lucie announced the speakers for the coming year.
The 2012-13 Florida Forum opens October 2 with Walter Isaacson, whose exclusive
biography of Steve Jobs has remained on the New York Times and Publisher’s Weekly bestseller
lists since its release in October 2011. He is currently president and CEO of the Aspen Institute
WALTER ISAACSON
and chairman of the board of Teach for America, and he has served as CEO of CNN and editor

of Time magazine. He also wrote the acclaimed Benjamin Franklin: An American Life, Kissinger:
A Biography and Einstein: His Life and Universe.
On February 2, 2013, The Women’s Board welcomes former Secretary of Defense and
former CIA Director Dr. Robert M. Gates. Considered “The Soldier’s Secretary” for his
commitment to placing men and women in uniform as his top priority, Gates made significant
advances in soldier safety, including replacing vehicles in the field that reduced roadside bomb
attacks and fatalities by almost 90 percent. Further successes include reshaping U.S. nuclear
weapons policies, the removal of troops from Iraq and the resurgence of troops in Afghanistan.
He is the only career officer in the CIA’s history to rise from entry level employee to director
and has served a total of eight presidents. He currently serves as chancellor of The College of
William and Mary.
The Florida Forum season concludes on March 4, 2013, with famed cyclist, cancer

stardom in the process of becoming the first and only professional cyclist to win the Tour de
France seven times. Driven by his personal struggle with and triumph over cancer, Armstrong
continues to be a leader and activist on behalf of cancer survivors around the world. His
partnership with Nike to develop the LIVESTRONG brand has rapidly become a global
movement and has raised millions of dollars for cancer research.
Proceeds from the 2012-13 Florida Forum will provide funding for programs at Wolfson
Children’s Hospital and will complete the final of a five-year, four million dollar commitment
by The Women’s Board to the Larry J. Freeman Behavioral Health Center. This new state-ofthe-art clinical facility will house an extraordinary team of behavioral health specialists who
will provide mental health services for children facing surgery, chronic and terminal illnesses,
loss and bereavement, and other psychological issues.

A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Dear Friends of Wolfson Children’s Hospital,
O
n May 31st, the 201112 Florida Forum
Chairs Beth Langley
and Connie Phillips, 2011 Art &
Antiques Show Chairs Roxane
Andrade and Grace Sarber, and
Immediate Past President Susan
Smathers presented the board
of Wolfson Children’s Hospital a check in the amount
of $1,139,092.82. I want to take a moment to
congratulate each of these women—their dedication,
sacrifice and hard work has culminated in an
impressive donation to Wolfson Children’s Hospital
by The Women’s Board. This check contributes vital
funds for program and clinical equipment needs and
marks the fourth payment of a five-year, four million
dollar pledge toward the Larry J. Freeman Behavioral
Health Center.
I extend congratulations to Wolfson Children’s
Hospital as well, for its recent recognition by U.S.
News & World Report for excellence in the following
specialty areas: urology, pulmonology, neurology/
neurosurgery, diabetes/endocrinology, cardiology/
heart surgery and cancer.
Looking ahead, the new leadership team in place
for the 2012 Art & Antiques Show, Josie Duncan,
Benham Purcell and Linda Street, are celebrating all
things Scottish at this year’s gleefully-themed
“Highland Fling.” Changes are afoot for the 2012
Show, including new Show management for a fresh
take and direction, new features and highlights, and—
due to its immense popularity—a new venue and date
for our beloved Children’s Fashion Show, which will
be held independently on Saturday, November 3rd at
UNF’s Lazzara Performance Hall.
Meanwhile, 2012-13 Florida Forum Chairs Martha
Baker and Sharon Lucie have assembled a “Tour de
Force” for the upcoming season. On October 2nd, the
multifaceted Walter Isaacson will speak, followed by
the highly decorated Dr. Robert Gates on February
2nd and concluding March 4th with famed cyclist
Lance Armstrong.
Aesop is attributed with the saying: “No act of
kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” With
this in mind, I thank you for all you do for the children’s
hospital, from buying tickets to purchasing corporate
sponsorships to sponsoring a child in the fashion
show, from providing in-kind services to donating
your valuable—and highly valued—time. Your
generosity contributes to this magnificent hospital we
are so fortunate to have in our community. Thank you
so much for supporting Wolfson Children’s Hospital.
I look forward to seeing you on October 2nd when
we welcome Walter Isaacson to Jacksonville.
Sincerely,
Jacqueline Bargas

honor two people whose example has inspired us all not just in the way
we serve The Women’s Board and the hospital, but in the way we live our lives...
You started something 35 years ago that has touched all our lives in extraordinary
ways, and that has changed the lives of thousands upon thousands of people. Your
vision, example, leadership, service, heart, faith and 'Sweet Spirits' are foundations
on which we continue to build The Women’s Board.” 

year four of a five-year commitment
to raise $4 million for the new Larry J.

health patient.
Wolfson Children’s Hospital. This
cutting-edge facility, to be unveiled in 2012, will transform the
outdated nine-bed clinic and separate Daystay program into a
state-of-the-art behavioral health unit. Below is a description of
the new center, as described by Dr. Michael De La Hunt, a much
beloved Wolfson doctor who heads the behavioral health unit.
Integrating family-centered care and greatly expanding
the number of available beds, including the number of private
rooms, the new Larry J. Freeman Behavioral Health Center
will pull together care space, programs and offices that
currently are spread across the downtown campus. The
greatest aspect of the new unit will be the combining of the
inpatient unit and the Daystay program into one location,
allowing patients to transition more easily from one unit to
the other.
In addition, several upgrades will be integrated, including
a modernized, multipurpose kitchen, art therapy room,
activities room, playroom, dayroom and outside courtyard
area, as well as engaging new furniture and decor. A further

enhancement will be an observation room with a one-way
window from which parents or trainees can observe childadult interaction, behavioral modification techniques and
interviewing skills.
New office space will be designated for staff, and a private
exam room and therapy rooms for clinical providers will be
included, allowing staff members a private space to complete
administrative and clinical duties while allowing them to
be directly available. These new spaces also offer a quiet place
to interact with patients and their families in an appropriate
setting, contrasting sharply with the makeshift use of space in
the current unit.
In addition to these significant space improvements,
services also will be modernized with an effort to provide
family-centered and holistic care programs that will provide
greater likelihood for lasting change in the patients and
families served.
The new unit will provide a brighter, more cheerful and
pleasant surrounding for children and their families going
through difficult personal crises. A joining of currently
disparate programs into an innovative and cutting-edge
environment, the new Larry J. Freeman Behavioral Health
Center symbolizes a unification of support for the patients by
Wolfson’s healthcare “family” in a hopeful, safe and private
place to heal.
We eagerly look forward to our new home for healing. 
NEW MEMBERS WELCOMED
