2012 report to donors
Dear Friends,
It’s hard to believe that American Family Children’s Hospital turns five years old this summer. Many of you
may remember our grand opening like it was yesterday. Yet in just five years, we have made monumental
strides on behalf of the needs of acutely ill children and their families. For example:
• We were named a “Top 50” children’s hospital by U.S. News & World Report in seven different
pediatric specialties.
• We have recruited scores of pediatric specialists and surgeons from across the nation, resulting in the
advancement of pediatric care for the patients and families we serve.
• We have expanded and added a number of services to improve the care of children.
• We have cared for children from all over Wisconsin and from 49 of the 50 United States. • Our new patient- and family-centered care practices continue to enhance the entire experience
that children and families have during their stay.
In everything we do, we understand that children are not just small adults; they require specialized care
from a team of professionals. We have excelled at providing this care, and along with that success we have
seen an increase in the number of children needing our care. We now need the hospital to grow with our
success. On the following pages, you will learn more about our new capital campaign – Sick Kids Can’t

• Provide life-saving care for acutely ill babies by creating a 14-bed, Surgical/High Acuity,
Level IIIC Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
This unit will provide the most advanced medical and
surgical care possible for the very sickest infants,
giving them a new chance at life. This Surgical/
High Acuity NICU is uniquely designed with all
private rooms and family space, allowing parents
the opportunity to nurture, feed and bond with their
newborn.
the increasing demand. Accordingly, American
medical centers.

Big Dreams for Little Patients
Please visit uwhealthkids.org to learn more about Sick Kids Can’t Wait, view our new television commercials or make
an online gift to support the campaign. Your gift is greatly needed and deeply appreciated.
Once our surgical NICU is complete, more babies like Max
from Madison will be treated with highly advanced neonatal
intensive care.
Families need to know that there will always be room
at American Family Children’s Hospital for their child or
grandchild if they are faced with a medical challenge.
Moreover, they want the convenience of having the
most advanced level of care provided in a supportive
environment located close to home.
The following steps are needed to accommodate
the growing demand and provide the highest level of
medical and surgical care:
• Expand our capacity to care for the sickest
children by adding 12 Pediatric Intensive Care
Unit (PICU) beds (yielding 33 PICU beds in total).
This project will create highly advanced, private,
spacious rooms staffed by specialty-trained pediatric
critical-care physicians, nurses, pharmacists and
respiratory therapists. For maximum flexibility during
periods of high volume, these 12 rooms will easily
adjust for any level of care: intensive, intermediate or
general.
• Support further development of a world-class
Pediatric Heart Program by constructing a
Pediatric Hybrid Cardiac Catheterization/Operating
Room/Interventional Radiology Laboratory. This
project will ensure that children needing invasive
heart and radiological procedures now performed
at the adult UW Hospital, will instead have them
performed in the Children’s Hospital in a unit specially
designed and dedicated to pediatric care. The Hybrid
Catheterization Lab, supported by pediatric-trained
staff, will provide state-of-the-art care currently
available in only a handful of centers in the Midwest.
• Provide a dedicated Pediatric Imaging Suite
where children will receive X-ray/imaging procedures
with low-dose radiation technology. This will be a fullservice imaging suite for children requiring MRI, CT,
ultrasound and fluoroscopy services.
• Meet the growing demand for pediatric
surgeries and minimally invasive surgical
interventions by equipping the final two pediatric
operating rooms. Pediatric surgery volume has
increased by 35 percent since 2007 and is projected
to continue growing rapidly.
The Time to Act Is Now
In 2007, Wisconsin celebrated the grand
opening of a world-class pediatric health care
facility unlike any other. On the day we opened
the doors of American Family Children’s
Hospital, we knew the need was great.
Today, that need has grown much faster than
expected, and we must respond.
Simply put, sick kids can’t wait.
Wisconsin has never shied away from a
challenge, especially one that champions the
needs of its most vulnerable members – our
children and grandchildren. We hope you will
join us in taking the dream of this magnificent
children’s hospital to the next exciting stage.

They Are So Brave
President and CEO Donna Katen-Bahensky is always deeply moved
by visits with our young patients
You see the courage and fight in their eyes. These
vulnerable children, who come from across the
nation, can’t help but steal your heart. UW Hospital
and Clinics President and CEO Donna KatenBahensky knows this first-hand, and is always
deeply moved whenever she visits these brave
patients, be they infants, toddlers, tweens or teens.
“I am a mom, myself,” says Katen-Bahensky.
“When I visit kids in the Children’s Hospital who
are battling a very serious illness, I can’t help but
notice the frightened look in the eyes of every
mother and father. Fortunately, that look tends to
soften with time as the families come to know our
Katen-Bahensky’s passion for expanding
American Family Children’s Hospital was further
enhanced after her personal visits with families.
Katen-Bahensky looks forward to the anticipated
grand opening in 2014 of 26 new acute-care
beds where critically ill babies and children will
be treated in beautiful child- and family-friendly
rooms furnished with the latest pediatric medical
equipment.
“When our beds are full at the Children’s Hospital,
we have to admit patients to a pediatric overflow
unit located at the adult UW Hospital. While
the care these patients receive is excellent,
the environment is not the same as that in the
Children’s Hospital. We want to be sure every
family has the best experience possible.”
“The addition of these 26 critical-care beds
will relieve the pressure we face every day to
accommodate each child who needs us,” she
says. “With enough private support from those
who share our passion to improve the lives of
children, our new fundraising campaign - Sick
Kids Can’t Wait - will make this dream a reality.”

right place.”

Children and families come to American
Family Children’s Hospital for treatment for
everything from cancer to heart disease to
complex neuromuscular disorders. Moreover,
the children we see, on average, are sicker than
those at all Wisconsin hospitals that care for
pediatric patients.
Both girls pictured at left on this page – Vida
Chute, age 1 (left) and Kirsten Chaignot, 16
(with guitar) – come to Madison from northern
Wisconsin for treatment of cystic fibrosis, a
disease with which patients are living longer, due
in part to advances by University of Wisconsin
pediatric researchers.

Patrick Gerberding, age 2, is held by his
mother, Stefanie, who brings her son to
American Family Children’s Hospital for
treatment of a rare neurological condition,
bilateral schizencephaly. Despite his
diagnosis, Patrick is a happy boy who loves
to laugh and smile. Patrick’s father, Tim, looks
on at his son in the photo on the facing page.

It is not only hard, but also heartbreaking,
to believe that children can get so
incredibly sick. We see precious kids
fighting life-threatening disease and we
cannot stop thinking about how wrong it
all seems. Yet, when a child needs the kind
of medical attention that can only be found
at a comprehensive pediatric academic
medical center, American Family Children’s
Hospital is there like a beacon in the night.

has been battling neuroblastoma since late
2010, and Giselle Bouldin, 2 (below, with
her smiling mother, Gaelle), who received
a bone marrow transplant in late 2011
for sickle cell anemia, have both spent
countless days and nights on our acutecare unit.

American Family Children’s Hospital is
also known for its world-class pediatric
surgery team, with surgical specialists
ranging from cardiothoracic to orthopedic.

Emily Martinez, 8 (below) smiles at
UW Hospital President and CEO Donna
Katen-Bahensky. Although she has many
physical limitations resulting from a
traumatic brain injury at age 2, Emily made
a great impression on the CEO.
“I will never forget the expression of joy
on Emily’s face,” says Katen-Bahensky.
“Even though she cannot speak, Emily
knows how much she is loved by her
family and friends.”
Kathleen Fahey, 14, reflects for a moment
after recovering from neurosurgery related to
lisencephaly, a rare neurological disorder. She

pediatric urologists, pediatric gastroenterologists
and pediatric surgeons.

A History of Giving
A Message From the
Development Partners
Advisory Board
American Family Children’s Hospital traces its roots to the story of Mary
Cornelia Bradley, a little girl born to Dr. Harold Cornelius Bradley, a UW
biochemistry professor and his wife, Mary Josephine (Crane) Bradley, of the
renowned Chicago industrialist Crane family.
Stricken with measles at age 6, Mary died in 1916 from meningitis shortly
before her seventh birthday.

A message from the Co-Chairs of the American Family Children’s Hospital
Development Partners Advisory Board: John Flad (left in photo), President of
Flad Development, and Jack Salzwedel (right in photo), Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of American Family Insurance.
Deeply heartbroken by the loss of their firstborn child, the Bradleys’ loving
tribute to Mary would become a pediatric research and teaching hospital built
in connection with the UW Medical School.

After several moves and expansions over the next nine decades, the
Bradleys’ legacy would emerge in 2007 as the world-class American Family Children’s Hospital.
To ensure that children and families from Wisconsin and beyond continue to receive the very best medical
care, we established The Mary Cornelia Bradley Society. Its purpose is simple: to recognize philanthropy
committed to continued excellence at American Family Children’s Hospital.
The Mary Cornelia Bradley Society recognizes four levels of philanthropic commitment: Legacy (estate
gifts); Legends (one-time or cumulative gifts of $25,000 or more); Guardians (one-time or cumulative gifts of
$10,000 through $24,999); and Ambassadors (gifts of $1,000 or more within a single calendar year).

As every gift designation is a very personal decision, American Family Children’s Hospital development
staff is available for consultation with anyone interested in learning more about joining The Mary Cornelia
Bradley Society. Please call us at (608) 264-KIDS, visit uwhealthkids.org/mcbsociety or e-mail

Dear Friends:
Nothing you do is more noble than helping sick children. Like us, you have
your personal reasons for supporting American Family Children’s Hospital.
Whether or not your child or grandchild has been cared for here, your
generous support has played an instrumental role in our world-class hospital’s
amazing success story that continues to evolve.
With more children filling our beds, the time has come to reach even higher.
With your help, our Sick Kids Can’t Wait campaign will raise the funds needed
to add 26 new critical-care beds and urgently needed clinical spaces to
ensure that no child is ever turned away.
