Over the past 20 years, CHF has supported more than 1.6 million health care visits for underserved children and their parents with extraordinarily dedicated doctors and medical teams. Today, the Fund is the largest children’s mobile health provider in the United States and one of the most effective national voices for children. Yet, with nearly 20 million children in America experiencing barrlers to health care, more can be done. Some families lack health insurance to cover their care, and many others face barriers that range from isolated rural poverty to lack of affordable transportation. In 2006, CHF created a five-year strategic plan to increase our capacity. Here’s what we aim to accomplish by the close of 2010: •increase our patient capacity by 25%; •increase the number of projects in the CHF National Network to up to 25; •push for universal access to quality care for all children; •improve CHF’s ability to respond to public health disasters where children may be inordinately affected; and •replace aging mobile medical units in CHF’s fleet. Many of these goals are within sight. Recently, CHF added programs in the Gulf Coast; Harlem, NY; and Memphis, Tennessee. And, we will soon launch a program in Southern Arizona in 2008. The Fund also continues to expand our existing Children’s Health Projects, bringing both primary care providers and subspecialists directly to kids who need them most. This is the enhanced medical home model. The theme for this annual report is growth. We are thankful that with the support of friends—old and new—that CHF can continue to expand the depth of services and number of children we reach. Through your investment and our shared vision, even more children in America will grow up healthy—regardless of their families’ economic or insurance status. Thank you. Irwin Redlener, MD President and Co-Founder Paul Simon Co-Founder 3 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 1987 The squalid conditions of New York City’s infamous welfare hotels inspires Irwin Redlener, MD, and Singer/Songwriter Paul Simon to take action. The Children’s Health Fund is created with the launch of the New York Children’s Health Project (NYCHP), a “big blue van,” designed by Karen Redlener, that delivers medical care directly to the City’s shelters, where 11,000 children were sleeping each night. 1992 Hurricane Andrew, one of the most destructive hurricanes in U.S. history, makes landfall. The Fund responds and then launches the South Florida Children’s Health Project, which today serves more than 2,500 patients a year. 1993 CHF opens the South Bronx Health Center for Children and Families, its first fixed-site clinic, providing residents of this blighted neighborhood with its first medical program in 20 years. 1988 CHF becomes one of the nation’s pioneers in introducing electronic health record systems, allowing NYCHP providers to maintain patient records on mobile medical units where paper file storage is not possible. 1987 1988 1989 1991 1992 1993 1991 The Fund holds its first Corporate Council for America’s children meeting with Senator Jay Rockefeller as the honorary Chair. Its policy team partners with business leaders to improve children’s access to health care. 1989 The New Jersey Children’s Health Project hits the road, marking CHF’s first replication and the start of CHF’s National Network. Shortly after, CHF expands to rural communities with the launch of the Mississippi Children’s Health Project. 1994 1997 1997 The newly developed Childhood Asthma Initiative treats and manages asthma in under served communities, where children are six times more likely to suffer from the illness. Other CHF special health initiatives address obesity, mental health and referral management. 1994 CHF Advisory Council Member Garry Trudeau helps launch CHF’s Kids First, Kids Now! public education and advocacy campaign, dedicating a week of his daily comic strip, Doonesbury, to highlight child health access issues. Kids First, Kids Now! inaugurates a series of national and regional child health summits. The first 20 years… 4 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 2003 CHF partners with the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University in the creation of a new National Center for Disaster Preparedness, and Irwin Redlener, MD, is named, as its first director. 2000 With the introduction of the Los Angeles Children’s Health Project, CHF’s National Network now includes 11 medical programs. 1998 2000 1998 Medical Directors from CHF’s National Network make their first visit to local representatives in Congress, bringing stories of children’s health care needs to the nation’s top decision makers. 2001 2004 CHF’s National Network provides its 1,000,000th health care visit to a child in need. 2007 CHF celebrates its 20th Anniversary of serving children. Starting in 2008, the National Network will now provide care through 22 programs in 13 states and the District of Columbia. 2003 2004 2005 2001 CHF forms a Crisis Response Program in the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks. The Program provides counseling to and trains professionals who work with children throughout New York City. In addition, CHF and the Marist Institute for Public Opinion track the long-term emotional effects of the September 11 attacks on children and their families through a series of polls. 2006 2007 2006 CHF embarks on a 5-year strategic plan and a $106,000,000 campaign to increase the organization’s capacity to serve more children. 2005 Hurricane Katrina strikes and CHF responds. Given that the organization also provided support to South Florida after Hurricane Andrew and in New York City after September 11th, CHF decides to officially incorporate crisis response into its mission. and growing 5 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 CHF’S MOBILE PEDIATRIC CLINICS… BRINGING CARE TO KIDS SINCE 1987 zEvery CHF mobile pediatric clinic is associated with a local health care institution. zMobile pediatric clinics can be specially designed for delivery of primary, dental, mental health or emergency response services. zMobile pediatric clinics can accommodate 15 to 20 patient visits daily. zMobile pediatric clinics operate on a regular schedule, visiting sites such as schools, homeless shelters and public housing complexes. zCHF mobile pediatric clinics are designed to support internet connections and electronic health record systems, putting more technology on wheels. 6 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 “We know that there are too many children in the world who aren’t receiving needed health care services. Identifying the problem is the easy part. Finding the resources and putting together the talented staff to address unmet health care needs is what CHF does best. We now have 39 mobile pediatric clinics across the country. There is great diversity among CHF’s National Network, but also many similarities. At every Children’s Health Fund Project, you will find effective and compassionate medical teams. My job is to make sure that CHF keeps growing and is accountable to our mission and to our supporters.” Karen Redlener, MS Executive Director, Children’s Health Fund Patients 0 1987-88 7 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 1997 65,000 18,000 100,000 72,785 150,000 50,000 Health Care Visits 195,108 200,000 5,024 20,095 20 Years of Growth Reaching More Children Than Ever 250,000 2007 20 Million Children in America Don’t Have the Health Care They Need 8 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 12% of children in America do not have health insurance. 30% of poor children in the United States did not see a dentist last year. 20% of children, ages 9-17, have a mental, emotional, or behavioral disorder. More than 70% of these youth will not receive care. 9 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 One Mission: Twenty Two Solutions The CHF National Network Because the health care crisis affects children across the United States, CHF has developed a National Network of pediatric medical programs. Today, the Fund has 22 children’s health projects using 39 mobile pediatric clinics in 13 states and the District of Columbia. And it is growing. CHF’s projects are linked by a common mission: to provide high-quality health care services to low-income and homeless children. In Texas, Florida, Arizona – every community where CHF mobile medical clinics provide essential care to underserved children – the medical teams are dedicated, culturally sensitive and responsive to the needs of children and their families. Consistent with this approach, each children’s health project is affiliated with either an acclaimed academic medical center or community-based federally-qualified health center. Some of CHF’s medical affiliates are the Children’s National Medical Center, Lucile Salter Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford University, Montefiore Medical Center, and New York-Presbyterian Health Care System. “The Children’s Hospital at Montefiore is proud of our history with the Children’s Health Fund. Our partnership links the expertise and technology of a world-class hospital with a team of dedicated specialists in all areas of pediatrics - with an outstanding family-centered, community-based health center and a mobile medical program. This innovative collaboration is making significant difference in the lives of children and families we serve.” NFC Flagships/Montefiore Steven Safyer, MD President and Chief Executive Officer, Montefiore Medical Center 10 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 The medical affiliates bring essential resources to the children’s health projects. They have a proven commitment to and knowledge of their local communities and provide low-income children with access to specialty services and the latest medical advances. In partnership with the medical affiliates, CHF ensures that every children’s health project maintains: o a clinical director who provides culturally competent primary care; o a dedicated medical team; o referral partners that can help meet diverse patient needs; o low-literacy and culturally relevant health education materials and services that help families better understand and engage in their health care treatment; and o 24/7 call availability—ensuring that patients are never more than a phone call away from a doctor. This comprehensive, timely and coordinated model is known as a medical home – the gold standard for optimal care of children. Many CHF Projects offer an even broader range of services, such as mental health counseling, psychiatric consults, dental care, referral management and nutritional services, and utilize electronic health record systems. 2007 18 new positions were added to the National Network, including pediatricians, social workers, psychologists, dental professionals and health educators. 11 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 12 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 The National Network Philadelphia, PA San Francisco Peninsula, CA Los Angeles, CA Idaho Grand Junction, CO Arkansas Montrose, CO Chicago, IL CHF National Office, NY New York City Programs Long Island, NY New Jersey Washington D.C.

In addition to operating mobile pediatric clinics, the Dallas Children’s Health Project offers a program for low-birthweight babies at a clinic connected to the Dallas County Department of Health. And, the Austin Children’s Health Project’s bilingual (English/Spanish) medical team delivers comprehensive care to poor children at local schools. In a state in which 20% of children lack insurance—the highest uninsured rate in the nation—CHF’s mobile pediatric clinics are a welcome resource.

My daughter has three sons, all very young, and they were all sick. Her husband works full time, and was recently given the opportunity to purchase insurance. They couldn’t afford it. My daughter always had insurance growing up, and now as an adult starting out with a young family finds herself in a situation where she needed the care you provide. All three boys were sick with pinkeye, two ear infections, and two respiratory illnesses. They made three appointments, and she walked away with samples, prescriptions, and a feeling that her boys were cared for by someone who not only was knowledgeable, but so very kind. As the grandmother of these most precious babies, I want to thank you for providing this fantastic service for families who are caught in the insurance nightmare. Sincerely, Mrs. M. 19 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Our Nation’s Capital Washington, DC is a very important site for the Fund. It has an outstanding program there that reaches children in the Anacostia community, one of the nation’s poorest. D.C. is also where CHF delivers a strong children’s advocacy message to influential policy makers and elected officials. Children’s Health Project of the District of Columbia (CHPDC) n Affiliated with Children’s National Medical Center and Medical School n Rhonique Shields-Harris, MD, Medical Director n CHPDC’s two mobile pediatric clinics, one mobile dental clinic and two fixed site clinics serve Anacostia and other impoverished neighborhoods in southeast Washington, D.C. The Project is also the city’s medical provider for children in foster care. n Plays a leadership role in a local coalition to reduce asthma severities in the District. “The physician-advocate offers quality clinical care and a perspective on health care policy from the vantage point of a front-line provider. As Chief Medical Officer of CHF, I have found that one of our great successes has been developing a cadre of compassionate, effective physician/ advocates. Our collective voice resonates in Congressional offices, where decisions on policies affecting underserved children and access to health care are made.” Arturo Brito, MD, MPH Chief Medical Officer, Executive Vice President Children’s Health Fund 20 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 21 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Southeast Region CHF expanded its reach in 1992, starting Children’s Health Projects in West Virginia and South Florida. West Virginia Children’s Heath Project (WVCHP) n Affiliated with Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine at Marshall University n Isabel Pino, MD, Medical Director These programs were developed in response to two very different health care crises. In West Virginia, too many Appalachian families were unable to access health care services for their children. In South Florida, Hurricane Andrew had wreaked havoc on a health care system that was already failing many of the area’s poor. n WVCHP’s mobile pediatric clinic serves rural communities in the Wayne, Lincoln and Cabell counties of southwestern West Virginia South Florida Children’s Health Project (SFCHP) n Affiliated with University of Miami School of Medicine n Mavara Mirza-Agrawal, MD, Medical Director n SFCHP’s mobile pediatric clinics serves communities of Hispanic and Haitian immigrant families, many of whom are uninsured, in South Florida’s Miami-Dade County Orlando Children’s Health Project (OCHP) n Affiliated with Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Women n Vinny Chulani, MD, Medical Director n OCHP’s mobile pediatric clinics serves homeless and low income adolescents from urban communities in Florida’s Orange County. Project staff also works several days a week in school-based health centers “You have to see the person as a whole--to address whatever the medical complaint is–but also to consider the social and physical environment they live in, their family background. Working with CHF, we’ve been able to provide the best possible medical care to individual children in some of West Virginia’s most remote, rural communities.” Isabel Pino, MD Medical Director, WVCHP 22 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 23 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Mississippi Delta Region In a region marked by limited resources, CHF maximizes its impact by coordinating activities among its three local projects. The Memphis Regional Children’s Health Project’s Medical Director, Dr. John Knepper, can be reached whenever needed by the Arkansas Children’s Health Project’s nurse practitioner for medical consultation. Mississippi Children’s Health Project (MCHP) n Affiliated with Aaron E.

When we examined her we found the child’s first molar was broken and an infection was spreading. This was the first time she was being seen by a dental professional in her life. At this point, we could only arrange for her to be admitted to the hospital where she was treated with intravenous antibiotics. Thankfully, the infection was limited to her tooth and the soft tissues of her face. After her discharge, the Mississippi Children’s Health Project gave her a full dental exam and cleaning. We filled her cavities and the infected tooth was extracted. Soon after, she was smiling again.” Andres Ramgloolam, MD Medical Director, Mississippi Children’s Health Project 25 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Great Lakes Region In 2003, more than one in four children in Chicago lived in a family whose income was below the poverty level. CHF saw an opportunity to make a difference. That year, CHF and Chicago University’s Comer Children’s Hospital partnered to ensure Chicago’s poorest and most medically-underserved children received high quality health care services at their schools. Chicago Children’s Health Project (CCHP) n Affiliated with University of Chicago Hospitals n Icy Cade-Bell, MD, Medical Director n CCHP’s mobile pediatric clinic provides services, including primary care and mental health interventions, to children and adolescents at over 20 schools in Chicago’s South Side “CHF and The University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital share a strong commitment to providing quality health care to vulnerable children. In partnership with CHF, The University of Chicago created a “doctor’s office on wheels” to bring medical resources to children at schools in inner-city Chicago. Our mobile medical program helps to keep children healthy and ready to learn.” Daniel Johnson, MD Vice Chair, Department of Pediatrics, Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital 26 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 27 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Gulf Coast Region In 2005, the nation and the world focused on the plight of thousands of families displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Then the television crews left to cover the next big story and traditional emergency response organizations completed their missions. CHF stayed on. The Fund joined forces with local medical organizations—selecting partners with a reputation for comprehensive care—to create three permanent Children’s Health Fund Projects. Today, each Project operates a mobile medical unit that delivers primary care and a Community Support and Resiliency Unit that brings teams of mental health professionals to schools and community-based sites. The Gulf Coast Projects work together to bring attention to the unmet needs of children and families regionally. And since the children they serve often face similar issues, the Projects’ staffs share information and benefit from joint in-service trainings. Mississippi Gulf Coast Children’s Health Project (MGCCHP) n Affiliated with Coastal Family Health Center, Inc. n Persharon Dixon, MD, MBA, Medical Director n MGCCHP’s mobile units deliver medical and mental health care to children in rural Harrison and Hancock counties “Children are resilient. Yet, it is our responsibility to nurture and protect that resilience. One of the most effective ways to deliver care to children is through integrated medical and mental health services. CHF’s Projects in the Gulf Coast, which have both mobile medical and mental health units, are an excellent example of this. CHF’s primary goal is to provide a medical home for children. My job is to make sure that every CHF Project incorporates mental health services into their outstanding primary care delivery.” Paula Madrid, PsyD CHF Senior Director of Mental Health Services 28 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS RESPONSE: A Partnership with Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health Dealing with the aftermath of major disasters, building resiliency and readiness before future disasters and assessing the impact of catastrophes on high risk, vulnerable children and communities are part of an expanded CHF mission. The Gulf Coast Projects launched in 2005 in response to Hurricane Katrina. Deploying mobile medical teams and establishing permanent projects have demonstrated the effectiveness of a CHF disaster response capacity. In partnership with the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University, CHF now has the ability to document the impact of major disasters, advocate for policies that will protest vulnerable children and provide vitally needed services to affected children immediately after – and in recovery from – large scale disasters. 29 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 New Orleans Children’s Health Project (NOCHP) n Affiliated with Tulane University School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics n Jaya Aysola, MD, Medical Director n NOCHP’s mobile units deliver medical and mental health services to children in New Orleans, including a growing population of recent Hispanic immigrants “Recognizing the difference between medical and mental health issues in children can be difficult. A traumatized child, for example, may fail to speak because of emotional issues. But the deficit may also be related to developmental issues or a combination of both. The same is true of a teen who has difficulty concentrating. These sorts of presentations need medical and mental health providers to work together to address and solve them. That is why our families have access to both services – at the same site. We provide the right care at the right time.” Jaya Aysola, MD Medical Director, New Orleans Children’s Health Project 30 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Baton Rouge Children’s Health Project (BRCHP) n Affiliated with Louisiana State University’s Health Sciences Center School of Medicine n Heidi Sinclair, MD, Medical Director and Stewart Gordon, MD, Project Director n BRCHP’s medical and mental units target families displaced by the hurricane in a FEMA trailer park (closed in June 2008) and at schools in East Baton Rouge 31 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Western Region In San Francisco, CA and Phoenix, AZ, thousands of homeless youth make their way to the CHF’s Project’s medical clinics, safe havens where they can receive health care without judgment. For disadvantaged families in Los Angeles, health care is just one more of the city’s many unaffordable luxuries. Beyond these cities are poor children in rural areas, such as southern Idaho who go without dental and other health care services, because too few local providers accept Medicaid. Phoenix Children’s Health Project (PCHP) n Affiliated with Phoenix Children’s Hospital in partnership with HomeBase Youth Services n Randy Christensen, MD, Medical Director n PCHP’s mobile pediatric clinics and fixed-site location serve homeless adolescents in Phoenix and Tempe n In 2007, the Project received a new mobile medical unit, which CHF has designated and equipped as a response unit that can be deployed in future crises and emergencies “Our collaboration with the Children’s Health Fund is truly making a difference in the future of health care. Residents, as well as nursing and medical students, are learning about comprehensive and compassionate pediatric care through their rotations with the Phoenix Children’s Health Project. CHF is also helping us to provide high quality health care to young people living on the streets of Phoenix.” Robert L. Meyer President and CEO, Phoenix Children’s Hospital 32 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 33 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Los Angeles Children’s Health Project (LACHP) n Affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA n Arthur Cho, MD, Medical Director n LACHP provides services via mobile pediatric clinics and at fixed-site locations to low-income families, many of whom are undocumented immigrants, in Los Angeles San Francisco Peninsula Children’s Health Project (SFPCHP) n Affiliated with Lucile Salter Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA n Seth Ammerman, MD, Medical Director n SFPCHP’s mobile pediatric clinic provides services to homeless and uninsured adolescents in San Francisco and in nearby San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties 34 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Idaho Children’s Health Project (ICHP) n Affiliated with Family Health Services, Twin Falls, ID; St. Luke’s Hospital, Boise, ID; and University of Utah Health Sciences Center, Salt Lake City, UT n James Schroeder, PA, Clinical Director n ICHP provides dental services via a mobile dental clinic in eight counties in southern Idaho including Twin Falls and surrounding rural communities. This area has seen an influx of Eastern European immigrants and families of migrant seasonal farm workers 2008 Introducing the Southern Arizona Children’s Health Project (SACHP) In 2008, the SACHP will join the National Network. Affiliated with the Chiricahua Community Health Centers Inc., the Project will bring comprehensive pediatric services to children in Cochise County, Arizona – a county near the Mexican border with a large population of children with special health care needs. Jonathan Lee-Melk, MD, SACHP’s Medical Director, is no stranger to CHF. During his pediatric residency at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, he worked with Randy Christensen, MD, Medical Director of the Phoenix Children’s Health Project. 35 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Special Health Initiatives CHF Projects and staff design Special Health Initiatives that help address the most pressing health care issues facing poor and homeless children. Initiatives fall into three categories: preventive and chronic care; overcoming barriers to services; and improving quality of care. Preventive and Chronic Care CHALLENGE: Nearly one-third of youth in America have reached unhealthy weights, and increasing numbers of children are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Starting Right Initiative CHF Solution Results Multi disciplinary teams of providers help families address childhood obesity and its causes. Physicians screen children for overweight and associated health issues. Nutritionists and health educators help families develop healthy, budget-wise menus, learn to cook, and understand the connection between nutrition, movement and well-being. Three-quarters of the children receiving Starting Right’s medical and nutrition services reduced their BMI z-scores. BMI z-scores are a sensitive method for measuring changes in Body Mass Index percentiles. Other outcomes include positive changes in eating and exercise habits. Partner: The Picower Foundation Children’s Health Project Sites: New York City Flagship Programs CHALLENGE: Asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood, and the third-ranking cause of hospitalization among children in the U.S. Childhood Asthma Initiative Results This Initiative combines guidelinesbased clinical care with health education, mental health services, intensive asthma clinics that include allergy-skin testing, and cost-free medications as needed. By ensuring that children with asthma receive appropriate treatment, emergency room use and in-patient hospitalizations are significantly reduced, with an annual average savings to the health care system of $4,525 per asthma patient. Partner: The Picower Foundation Children’s Health Project Sites: New York City Flagship Programs, Washington, D.C. 36 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Overcoming Barriers to Care CHALLENGE: Low-income families typically have difficulty accessing specialty care. When care is delayed existing conditions are allowed to worsen and the likelihood of complications increases. Referral Management Initiative CHF Solution Results The Referral Management Initiative (RMI) ensures that patients receive timely sub-specialty care (cardiology, dermatology, hematology, etc.) by providing support at every step of the referral process. RMI managers arrange appointments and transportation, make reminder calls and facilitate ongoing communication between primary care providers and sub specialists. A CHFdesigned software system called the Transportation and Referral Management System (TRMS) is an essential tool in the referral process. RMI has increased the rate of referral completion for homeless and lowincome families from approximately 7% to nearly 61% - a rate on par with middle-class families. Partner: GlaxoSmithKline Children’s Health Project Sites: New York City Flagship Programs, Washington, D.C., Dallas, South Florida, and Los Angeles. In 2008, RMI was also replicated outside of CHF’s National Network in Philadelphia, PA CHALLENGE: Less than one-half of U.S. children have access to a medical home. Medical Home Initiative (MHI) CHF Solution Results The Medical Home Initiative ensures that – comprehensive, culturally appropriate, coordinated care – is provided to families in isolated areas. MHI also assists participating Children’s Health Projects to enhance their Electronic Health Records capacity, and supports CHF efforts to bring about policies that reduce barriers to a medical home for children living in remote areas. In 2007, MHI provided over 40,000 medical and dental encounters to children and their family members. Partner: sanofi-aventis Children’s Health Project Sites: Arkansas, Mississippi, West Virginia, Idaho, and New Jersey in 2009 37 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 CHALLENGE: More than three million children each year miss a scheduled doctor’s appointment due to lack of transportation; approximately one-third of these children will later seek care in an emergency room. The Child Health Transportation Initiative (CHTI) CHF Solution Results CHTI combines research, public education and advocacy to draw attention to transportation as a barrier to health care and its consequences. Through public-private partnerships, CHTI is launching and will be evaluating local pilot projects to improve access to transportation for health care services, including shuttles from rural areas to health care services. Partner: The W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Federal Transit Administration Children’s Health Project Sites: Mississippi, Mississippi Gulf Coast, Arkansas and Memphis Regional. Also replicated outside the National Network in Nashville, TN and Colorado CHALLENGE: Access to health services in urban areas is too often compromised by inadequate transportation services; a shortage of medical providers in poor communities; and linguistic and cultural differences. Urban Health Initiative (UHI) CHF Solution Results Through the Urban Health Initiative, CHF Projects bring teams of medical providers to children and youth in many high-risk, urban neighborhoods. UHI supports comprehensive care at both fixed-site health centers and on mobile medical units. In 2007, projects supported by the Urban Health Initiative provided 73,545 medical encounters to more than 23,190 children and family members living in low-income urban communities.In addition, in 2007, the Urban Health Initiative helped to place a mobile medical team on the road in Newark, New Jersey. Partner: Wyeth Children’s Health Project Sites: New York City Flagship Programs, Chicago, New Jersey, Washington, D.C., South Florida, Orlando, Dallas, Austin, Los Angeles, San Francisco Peninsula, Phoenix, and Long Island Homeless Teen Finds Help on the Streets Living on the streets for more than a year, seventeen-year-old David had lost nearly 40 pounds and was beginning to experience acute vision changes. When he finally sought care in an emergency room, he was diagnosed with diabetes. Upon discharge, David didn’t have money to pay for insulin or diabetes supplies. Then he heard about the Phoenix Children’s Health Project. Through CHF’s Urban Health Initiative, designed to reach at-risk children and youth in 14 American cities, David found the care he needed. On the Project’s mobile medical unit, he received insulin, a glucose monitor, testing strips, supplies, diabetic education, and nutritious food. He also found a medical team that listened to him and respected his needs. Wyeth has been a long-time friend to CHF. By supporting the Urban Health Initiative, Wyeth is helping to provide care to children and youth in inner-city America; many of whom would otherwise go without services. 38 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Improving Quality of Care CHALLENGE: Low-income families often have limited access to high quality health care services, resulting in higher rates of preventable diseases. Community-based Centers of Excellence CHF Solution Results Through Community-based Centers of Excellence, CHF, the New York Children’s Health Project and the South Bronx Health Center for Children and Families (SBHCCF) expand efforts that address common clinical challenges, by piloting creative interventions, increasing access to care, enhancing and training staff, conducting program evaluation, and measuring outcomes. A research team from The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services established an evaluation model to determine the effectiveness of the Initiative’s interventions. In 9 out of the 10 clinical measures, SBHCCF outperformed local, state and national averages. For example, 100% of children with persistent asthma at the SBHCCF are on controller medications, 98% of women receiving pre-natal care at the Center were screened for HIV at their first or second pre-natal visit and 90% of all adult women patients were screened for cervical cancer within a three-year period. Partner: United Health Foundation Children’s Health Project Sites: New York City Flagship Programs HEALTH PUBLICATIONS The Children’s Health Fund has become a major resource for high quality health information that helps families understand the conditions and concerns which affect the health and well being of their children. This is particularly crucial for medically underserved children and economically disadvantaged families. CHF’s award-winning, low-literacy health education materials make it easy for physicians and educators to provide low-income English and Spanish speaking families with information on many health-related topics including asthma, obesity and exercise, and pregnancy. These booklets, brochures, and other resources help families adopt healthier behaviors, understand stages of development, prevent disease and manage chronic illness. 2007 With the support of the MetLife Foundation, CHF introduced in 2007 its newest health education series: Think Healthy! These bilingual brochures help young readers and their parents to understand the connection between food and mood. 39 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Responding to public Health Crises In each of these circumstances, the local authorities required outside assistance to attend to the immediate and long-term medical and/or mental health needs of impacted children. In 2006, the Children’s Health Fund expanded its mission to include response to public health crises. This was a natural progression for the Fund, which had responded to a number of disasters, including Hurricane Andrew in South Florida, the events of September 11, 2001 and Hurricane Katrina. “The Children’s Health Fund is where the rubber meets the road—literally. Within five days of Hurricane Katrina, CHF was in the Gulf Coast providing care.” Jane Pauley CHF Board Member 2007 CHF’s mobile medical model makes the Fund particularly adept at crisis response. Mobile medical units allow medical and other professionals to reach inaccessible areas, provide on-the-spot care, and map the scale of need. Mobile units alone are not sufficient to address catastrophic events; success also requires skilled and prepared health care teams. Working with the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, CHF trains its National Network in emergency preparedness, documents the impact of major disasters, develops a cadre of qualified pediatric disaster care responders, and advocates for policies that will protect vulnerable children and ensure needed services to families immediately after— and in the recovery from—large scale disasters. In 2007 CHF, in collaboration with the National Center for Disaster Preparedness, published two white papers to draw attention to the ongoing crisis: o Released in February, The Recovery Divide: Poverty and the Widening Gap among Mississippi Children and Families Affected by Hurricane Katrina, indicated that Mississippi children displaced by the disaster were showing signs of depression, anxiety and and behavioral problems, with many lacking any health insurance. o In December, CHF issued a study - The Legacy of Katrina’s Children: Estimating the Numbers of Hurricane-Related At-Risk Children in the Gulf Coast States of Louisiana & Mississippi - which estimated that approximately 50,000 children remain displaced nearly three years after Katrina. These young people are at risk for a host of serious educational, medical and mental health issues. The Children’s Health Fund invested in two new mobile medical units equipped for emergency response—one on each coast—which can be deployed quickly to catastrophic events that impact vulnerable families. 40 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Technology & Training The Fund employs multiple strategies to reach health care professionals and organizations that are not directly connected to its National Network. Through linkages with top medical schools, CHF Projects train the next generation of doctors. Students and residents learn best practices for caring for disadvantaged children and youth aboard our mobile pediatric clinics and at several fixed–site health centers operated by CHF Projects. The Fund makes customized software systems available to Projects within the National Network and beyond, including the Transportation and Referral Management System (TRMS) that supports coordination of specialist appointments. CHF is also working with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to develop pediatric components of an electronic health record system, utilized by the City’s community-based health centers and CHF Projects. For organizations that would like to create a “medical home” for low-income children, CHF can offer a range of tools, including training, technology assistance, and program development. Should the circumstances warrant it, CHF will enable organizations to utilize components of our special health initiatives. The goal, however, is not to create cookie cutter images of CHF’s Projects, but rather to replicate their successful results. 41 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Advocacy/Policy: A VOICE FOR CHILDREN Nearly 9 million children in the United States are uninsured The State Children’s Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP) fills the gap for millions of low-income working families ineligible for Medicaid but for whom private insurance is unaffordable. Given the importance of this public initiative, CHF placed S-CHIP’s re-authorization at the forefront of its 2007 policy agenda. Throughout the year, CHF played a leadership role in events to support legislative re-authorization efforts that would increase the scope and reach of S-CHIP. These included a town hall meeting in New York; a rally in Washington D.C.; congressional offices visits on Capitol Hill organized by CHF Executive Vice President, Dennis Johnson; and a press conference where Paul Simon and Dr. Irwin Redlener joined House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other health care advocates. By signing up for CHF’s Advocacy E-Alerts at www.advocacy.childrens healthfund.org, you can receive regular updates on S-CHIP and other legislation that affects children and easily compose a message to your local elected officials. “CHF spends time on Capitol Hill because that’s where decisions are made, where priorities are set that will affect the ability of kids to get the medical care they need. We go there to speak to the people who have the power and resources to really ensure the well-being of our kids.” Dennis Johnson, MPA Executive Vice President, Government Affairs, Children’s Health Fund 42 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 A Prescription for the Neglected Children of the Gulf Coast In the Gulf Coast region, CHF helped keep policy makers’ attention focused on the unmet needs of children impacted by Hurricanes Karina and Rita, many of whom were still living in FEMA trailer parks and temporary housing units in 2007. The Fund, along with its partner at the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health conducted research on the continuing public health crisis in the Gulf; convened a regional coalition of stakeholders in housing, education and healthcare to develop a shared understanding of the issues facing displaced children; and was joined by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to announce the coalition’s prescription to help heal the tens of thousands of displaced children still reeling from the Hurricanes’ impact. Sharing Information with the Health Care Community In 2007, CHF disseminated its research to health professionals through publications in peer-reviewed journals. Articles included the Health Status of Homeless Children Revisited, published in Advances in Pediatrics; Asthma Among Homeless Children in NYC: An Update, published in American Journal of Public Health; and A Mobile Medical Care Approach Targeting Underserved Populations in post-Hurricane Katrina Mississippi, published in Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved. 2007 CHF presented 24 papers at national conferences for these and other professional groups: o National Hispanic Medical Association o National Rural Health Association o American Association of Behavioral & Social Sciences o Pediatric Academic Societies o National Initiative for Children’s Healthcare Quality o AcademyHealth o American Public Health Association o National Assembly on School-Based Health Care Copies of abstracts, posters, presentations and health education materials can be found in the Publications section of CHF’s website at www.childrenshealthfund.org/ publications/index.php. 43 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 CHF IN THE NEWS Media Highlights In 2007, attention was drawn to CHF’s work on children’s health issues through over 150 media placements in national outlets that included the Associated Press, CBS Evening News, CNN, The New York Times, NPR, Reuters, the Today Show and USA Today. CHF Projects also made news locally in locations such as Arkansas, Idaho, Mississippi, New Jersey and Phoenix.

A two-year, $7.5 million grant was awarded to CHF, thanks to the generosity of millions of Idol viewers across the country. Idol Gives Back funds will help over 60,000 children throughout CHF’s National Network by allowing Projects to expand services, hire new staff, upgrade mobile medical units and initiate the Southern Arizona Children’s Health Project. A Record-Breaking 20th Anniversary Gala On May 30, 2007, CHF’s annual gala drew a record 1,300 guests and raised $2.3 million for children’s health. Humanitarian Award Honoree President Bill Clinton’s stirring speech underscored the importance of a quality health care system in securing a better future for children. Also honored that night were Robert Essner, Chairman of Wyeth and Christian W.E. Haub, Executive Chairman of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company. The evening ended with an electrifying performance by Marc Anthony, who was introduced to the stage by his wife, Jennifer Lopez. When President Clinton spoke at the gala about the importance of helping others, he could have been referring to the impact that the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund has had on children in the Gulf Coast In 2007, the foundation supported CHF’s Gulf Coast School Health Initiative that provided both medical and mental health services to the youngest victims of the Hurricane at schools in Louisiana and Mississippi. “About all you can do in life is give another person a chance. It’s the greatest gift there is and I thank you for doing it.” President Bill Clinton 45 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 2006 – 2010 The $106 Million Campaign for the Children’s Health Fund CHF recently announced a five-year campaign that is supporting an ambitious but achievable, strategy for growth. Through Summer 2008, CHF has raised more than $69 million towards its $106 million goal. Donors who give to CHF during this campaign will help thousands more children stay healthy – an essential key to their future success and ours. By expanding CHF’s annual operating budget, investing in infrastructure, and growing CHF’s endowment, the Fund will: o Increase patient capacity by more than 25%; o Expand our National Network to up to 25 Children’s Health Projects; o Push for universal access to quality health care for all children; o Improve CHF’s ability to respond quickly to public health disasters where children may be inordinately affected; o Strengthen the New York Flagship Programs’ ability to reach more children and family members by expanding facilities; and o Replace aging mobile medical units in CHF’s fleet. CHF can proudly report that some of this growth has already occurred. Since CHF launched the campaign, the number of Projects in its National Network has increased from 17 to 22, including the Southern Arizona Children’s Health Project that will officially begin services in 2008. The Fund has also provided support to hire additional staff at 14 Projects in the National Network, including pediatricians, mental health professionals and nutritionists to provide even more comprehensive care. 46 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Financials Statement of Revenue & Expenses Year Ending December 31, 2007 Revenues, Gains & Other Support Contributions & Grants 7% 7% **Foundations 6% The Children’s Health Fund 2007 Corporations 2,444,514 Individuals 4,750,500 Government 80% $13,376,542 Net Special Events Revenue 317,863 1,782,264 Interest & Dividends 132,078 Net Gain on Investments 459,052 Total Revenues $23,262,813 Expenses New York City Programs $7,003,312 National Programs 8,237,104 Policy & Education 1,572,193 Disaster Response 2,863,091 Management & General 1,322,426 Fundraising Fundraising 1,566,036 Management & General Total Expenses Clinical & Public Health Programs* Policy & Education *This includes support for CHF’s network of Children’s Health Projects, as well as public health and disaster response initiatives.

Through the Corporate Council, private sector companies have a forum to support the broad objective of CHF to make children’s health care a national priority. The Council also provides a touchstone for CHF to share the progress of ‘on the ground’ projects that bring a lot of value to many families and thus increase awareness and support for this critical activity.” David Pulman, Ph.D. Corporate Council Chair The Children’s Health Fund (CHF) works with major corporations, foundations and government agencies to create cooperative alliances that bring together participants’ strengths and experience. Together these organizations create a unified voice for children under the umbrella of the Children’s Health Fund’s Corporate Council for America’s Children. By joining the Corporate Council, participating companies designate two Delegates, typically the CEO or President and another senior executive, who are invited to participate in the Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., as well as other high-level policy events sponsored by CHF. 60 Children’s Health Fund Annual Report 2007 Contribution levels for Corporate Council membership are as follows: Chair David Pulman, PhD, President, Global Manufacturing & Supply, GlaxoSmithKline Corporate Council Trustee: $1 million within a maximum 4-year period Honorary Chair Honorable John D.
