dear friends
Momentum continues to build at Children’s Memorial Hospital, both in our
work at hand, and as we anticipate the 2012 opening of Ann & Robert H. Lurie
Children’s Hospital of Chicago. The gleaming new building is bustling with
activity on each of its 23 floors as the interior spaces take shape. Physicians,
nurses, employees, patients and families, and donors like you continue to work
together to keep this historic project on time and on budget.
Even as the construction of Lurie Children’s progresses, momentum is building
in all areas of our mission: patient care, research, education, child advocacy and
community outreach. What we do today will herald a new era in pediatric care.
Once again we achieved high marks in key specialty areas cited by U.S. News
& World Report. The American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Magnet
Recognition Program® for excellence in nursing services re-designated
Children’s Memorial Hospital as a Magnet hospital for a third time. Our
reputation as a workplace of choice continued to grow as evidenced by the
prominent inclusion of Children’s Memorial in the “Top Workplaces” list
in the Chicago Tribune.
In 2010, Children’s Memorial Research Center finished the year with a
record breaking $40.3 million in extramural awards. The research center had
372 papers published in peer-reviewed journals and 581 proposals submitted,
including 75 proposals submitted for funding through the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Community health remains a major area of focus. In 2010, we invested
$100 million in community benefit programs dedicated to such important
issues as battling childhood obesity, violence, illiteracy and improving access
to pediatric healthcare, especially in underserved areas of our city.
As you read about the accomplishments of the year, please know how
grateful we are for your support. Together, we’re building momentum
toward a healthier future for Chicago’s children.

Liz Barnett recalls the joyous moment when she and her husband Troy
welcomed their baby boy, William, into the world.
But something appeared to be wrong.
“His cry wasn’t strong, and we could see
that the people in the room just weren’t
comfortable,” she says. “After some testing, they told us that he would have to
go immediately to Children’s. We were
shocked and really scared.” William was
diagnosed with TAPVR—total anomalous
pulmonary venous return—a congenital
heart disease in which none of the four
veins that take blood from the lungs to
the heart is attached to the left atrium
(left upper chamber of the heart). In
TAPVR, oxygenated blood returns from
the lungs back to the right atrium or right
ventricle— instead of the left side of the
heart. The blood simply circles to and from
the lungs and never gets out to the body.
Troy accompanied William in the
ambulance for the three-mile transport to
Children’s Memorial while Liz remained
behind in recovery at Northwestern
Memorial’s Prentice Women’s Hospital.
“It was very hard being separated from him
and to feel like I wasn’t part of his care.
All I could do was wait for phone calls.”
Surgery was done that same day, and
amazingly, William went home a week later.
“He was truly a superstar,” says his mother.

Incredibly, two years later, William’s little
brother Owen was born with TAPVR.
“The chances of that were miniscule,”
says Liz, “and Owen’s case was much
more complicated.”
Owen spent two months in the hospital
following his surgeries. Today, both William,
4, and Owen, 3, are active and healthy.
They require visits to the cardiologist just
once a year.
Says Liz, “We couldn’t be more grateful for
the kind of care the boys received and that
we received as a family.”

among the reasons that the Barnetts
received such excellent care at
Children’s Memorial are the depth
and breadth of cardiac services and
the nursing expertise—hallmarks of
pediatric academic medicine. Nowhere
is this more evident than in the Cardiac
Intensive Care Unit.
In preparation to transition to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s
Hospital of Chicago in 2012, Children’s Memorial has developed
a prototype that includes nine beds specifically designated
to the care of children with cardiac disease. Here, cardiac
intensive care physicians, cardiovascular-thoracic surgeons,
cardiologists, advanced practice nurses, as well as RNs with
expertise in pediatric heart disease, collaborate closely to
provide exceptional care to children with heart disease. The
team incorporates the use of special cardiac imaging, advanced
cardiac catheterization and surgical techniques, as well as
cutting-edge research into treating all forms of congenital and
acquired heart diseases, arrhythmias and heart failure that can
lead to heart transplantation.

william and owen barnett.
In anticipation of the expansion of the unit in 2012, Children’s
Memorial is now recruiting physicians who are dually trained in
both critical care and cardiology. The team is also focused on
developing highly trained nurses from specialty areas such as
critical care, neonatology and cardiology.

The Director of Cardiac Nursing, who
has overseen the development of the
current unit and is preparing staff for the
transition to Lurie Children’s, is Elizabeth
Preze, RN, MSN. “If your child has been
diagnosed with a cardiac problem, this is
where you want to be,” she says. “We truly
have incredibly experienced surgeons,
cardiologists, bedside nurses and
advanced practice nurses. We even have
developed a special pain task force for
children with heart problems undergoing
painful procedures.”

She is clearly excited about the
momentum that is building in her specialty
and the fact that the new facility will allow
more children to receive superior cardiac
care. Her colorful floor plan of the new unit
at Lurie Children’s hints at what lies ahead.

As momentum builds
toward the opening of
Lurie Children’s and the
Regenstein Cardiac Care
Unit, a highlight of 2010
was the arrival of John
M. Costello, MD, MPH, as
the medical director of
the new unit, which will
expand from the current
nine beds at Children’s
Memorial to 36.
Upon its opening in 2012, an entire floor
of Lurie Children’s will be devoted to the
acuity-adaptable unit, where cardiology
and cardiovascular-thoracic surgery
patients will remain on the same unit from
admission to discharge which contributes
to improved continuity of care and better
outcomes. Providing the expertise,
technology and the comprehensive
resources necessary to treat a broad
range of complex heart conditions from
infancy through young adulthood, it will
be one of the few pediatric units of its
kind in the nation and the only such unit in
Chicago. A bridge joining Lurie Children’s
to Northwestern Memorial’s Prentice
Women’s Hospital will enable both
parents to be at their child’s bedside
and will facilitate care
for newborns with serious heart defects
who need urgent cardiac stabilization and
intervention.
Dr. Costello, Associate Professor of
Pediatrics of Northwestern University
Feinberg School of Medicine, says,
“The new unit will be a tremendous
improvement for our patients, their
families and our team. The acuityadaptable beds in the new unit and our
staffing model have both been designed
such that technology and expertise will
be brought to the patients, rather than
requiring them to move about the hospital
to receive care.”

Dr. Costello is a graduate of the Feinberg
School of Medicine and went on to complete
both his residency and his fellowship at
Children’s Memorial Hospital.
He then served on the faculty at Children’s
Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School
for seven years before being recruited back
to Children’s Memorial in the summer of 2010.
Dr. Costello’s recruitment was supported by
Eloise and Warren Batts and other generous
donors. The Regenstein Cardiac Care Unit was
named in honor of a generous gift from the
Regenstein Foundation.

A YEAR OF exceptional
HIGHLIGHTS
Strategic Planning
for Research
Children’s Memorial continues its strategic
planning process for research in the
transition to the campus of Northwestern
University Feinberg School of Medicine
upon the opening of Ann & Robert H.
Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. This
involves a process to determine which
research programs would best align with
the synergies on the Feinberg School
campus. Criteria will be developed to
evaluate and identify priority programs
with respect to factors such as alignment
with clinical priorities, National Institutes
of Health growth areas and performance
metrics.
Healthy Hospital
The design process for Lurie Children’s
includes recommendations from the
Healthy Hospital Committee, which
conducted research to determine the
most important elements needed to
create a health-promoting environment
for patients, families and staff. Turning its
attention to operations at the new facility,
the committee will continue to identify and
evaluate initiatives toward a healthy and
safe environment within the hospital walls
and beyond. They will consider wideranging topics such as safe medication
disposal, sustainable furnishings, “green”
product use, and optimal health and selfcare promotion for staff and patient families.
International Recognition
for ECMO Program
Children’s Memorial’s extracorporeal
membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
program was named a recipient of the
Excellence in Life Support Award from the
Extracorporeal Life Support Organization
(ELSO). With this award, ELSO recognizes
ECMO programs internationally that
reach the highest level of performance,
innovation, satisfaction and quality.
Physician Education
In fiscal year 2010, Children’s Memorial
received 772 applications—over 50 percent
of all U.S. applications (1,711) to pediatric
residency programs nationwide. The
hospital interviewed 239 applicants for
31 pediatric residency positions.
Our new facility, Lurie Children’s, will include a host of innovations when it opens in June 2012 >

Patient Safety
Medical Records Go Electronic
Children’s Memorial Hospital launched the Pediatric Early Warning
System (PEWS) via the hospital’s electronic medical record. PEWS
is a simple and effective scoring tool that helps clinicians detect
subtle signs of deterioration in a patient’s condition before more
severe symptoms appear. Children’s Memorial has also been
focused on medication safety. In 2010 the goal was to maintain a
rate of less than 1 percent for all potentially harmful events. The
hospital met its goal, achieving a 50 percent decrease compared
to the previous year.
Children’s Memorial joined an elite group of less than 5 percent of
U.S. hospitals that have fully implemented the electronic medical
record (EMR). A five-year process to integrate the EMR into
Children’s Memorial’s operations is now complete and fully in place
for inpatient, outpatient and Emergency Department services. The
benefits to patient care and safety are substantial, as all clinicians
have access to patient records across the continuum of care.
Capsule Endoscopy Program
Capsule endoscopy was introduced this year, a technology that
uses a tiny wireless camera to take pictures of the digestive
tract. The camera is the size of a large capsule and can either
be swallowed or endoscopically placed inside the patient. The
camera takes thousands of pictures, which are downloaded to a
computer for the gastroenterologist to review.
Disaster Relief
Dozens of caregivers from Children’s Memorial traveled to Haiti
to participate in relief efforts following the January earthquake
in Haiti. Shortly after the earthquake, Children’s Memorial was
designated a provider under the National Disaster Medical System
(NDMS), a federally coordinated system that augments the
nation’s emergency medical response capability. Through NDMS,
Children’s Memorial is now eligible to receive patients in the event
of natural disasters, major transportation accidents, technological
disasters, and acts of terrorism.

Food Allergy Research
The National Institutes of Health named
Xiaobin Wang, MD, MPH, ScD, one of two
principal investigators for the Consortium
of Food Allergy Research grant that was
renewed for five more years. With this grant
renewal, the consortium expands its scope
to include research on the genetic causes
underlying food allergies. Wang, who is
the Mary Ann & J. Milburn Smith Research
Professor and Director of the Smith Child
Health Research Program at Children’s
Memorial Research Center, was awarded
$2 million to conduct the genetic studies
for the consortium. Her research receives
support from the Food Allergy Initiative,
Inc. and Dave and Denise Bunning.
Obesity Education
and Prevention
The Consortium to Lower Obesity in
Chicago Children at Children’s Memorial
Hospital received $5.8 million from the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services to partner with the Chicago
Department of Public Health on obesity
prevention. This funding is a portion of
$31 million awarded across the country
to support public health efforts to reduce
obesity and smoking, increase physical
activity and improve nutrition.
Child Abuse Research Leads
to New Policy
With support from The Grainger
Foundation, Mary Clyde Pierce, MD,
Emergency Medicine, is leading a project
on bruising identification as a sign of child
abuse in pre-cruising infants and children
under 4 years of age, which recently
was adopted as a policy resolution by
the Illinois Public Health Association.
The policy urges training through the
Bruising Clinical Decision Rule Web-based
program being developed by Children’s
Memorial Hospital for emergency
medicine physicians, emergency medical
technicians, child protection workers,
police and other professionals in the child
welfare system.
the department of medical imaging
employs state-of-the-art technology
such as the 750 3T MRI.
1000th transplant
Transplant surgeons at the Siragusa Transplantation Center at
Children’s Memorial Hospital performed the hospital’s 1,000th
solid organ transplant, making it one of an estimated 11 children’s
hospital in the country to reach that milestone. This landmark
achievement involved transplantation of a kidney. In addition to
kidney transplants, the Siragusa Transplantation Center performs
liver, heart, intestinal and stem cell transplants (stem cell is not
included in the 1,000 figure because it is not a solid organ).
On average the Center performs 50 solid organ and 60 stem
cell transplants a year.

Medical Imaging Expertise
One-of-a-Kind Neuro-critical care Program
The Division of Medical Imaging at Children’s Memorial has
joined the Image Gently campaign, an initiative of the Alliance for
Radiation Safety in Pediatric Imaging. Image Gently, a coalition of
healthcare organizations dedicated to providing safe, high quality
pediatric imaging nationwide, was created to increase awareness
in the medical imaging community on how children should receive
lower doses of radiation than adults.
With the support of The Davee Foundation, Children’s Memorial
Hospital remains one of only a handful of academic children’s
hospitals in the U.S. who have identified pediatric neuro-critical care
as requiring a separate medical subspecialty. The Neuro-critical
Care Service of the Division of Neurology includes Mark Wainwright,
MD, PhD, pediatric epilepsy specialist Joshua Goldstein, MD,
Charulata Venkatesan, MD, an advanced practice nurse and two
neuro-critical care fellows.

High-Tech Therapy for Brain Tumors
New Research Technology
Children’s Memorial’s Falk Brain Tumor Center is now able to
offer children with brain tumors access to an advanced radiation
treatment called “proton beam therapy” through the CDH Proton
Center, A ProCure Center, the first site in Illinois to offer proton
beam therapy, becoming one of only seven such facilities in
the U.S. Compared to standard radiation therapy, proton beam
therapy can target brain tumors with higher precision, which results
in less radiation to normal brain tissue, eyes and the optic nerve.
This is especially important for children, since avoiding damage
to healthy tissue prevents growth and development problems
and preserves cognitive abilities. Through special collaboration,
the hospital’s Brain Tumor Board assesses all pediatric cases with
central nervous system tumors referred for proton beam therapy
at the new center.
The Microscopy and Imaging Facility of the Children’s
Memorial Research Center added a new instrument to
its arsenal of tools. The Zeiss LSM 700 laser scanning
confocal microscope uses new technology to simplify use
yet increase the quality of images. Since the LSM 700 has
an enclosed environmental chamber, complete control
of temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide levels is
possible. This allows long-term imaging of live tissues
and cells, enabling scientists to follow developmental
and disease processes over time under precisely
controlled conditions.
Rodney M. Dale, PhD, of the Developmental Biology Program
of Children’s Memorial Research Center, uses the powerful
Zeiss LSM 700 laser scanning confocal microscope,
acquired through a philanthropic gift.
Investing in research today means hope for tomorrow. Support pediatric research >

Transitioning to Adulthood
The hospital’s Chronic Illness Transitioning Program—which
addresses the progression of medically complex youth from
pediatric to adult care—held a series of educational seminars for
adolescents and families regarding preparation for transitioning,
community support agencies, benefits, guardianship and
special needs trusts. More resources to support independence
in adulthood are also under development. These seminars have
been supported by an advocacy grant from the Department
of Pediatrics.
Community Research
The Office of Child Advocacy has launched a new undertaking in
Community-Engaged Research in Child Advocacy. This initiative
will bridge researchers from the hospital with community-based
organizations to address research issues related to improving
the health and well-being of children. These projects will support
closer affiliation with Northwestern University’s Alliance for
Research in Chicagoland Communities and provide an important
foundation to apply for government and philanthropic grants to
expand on research findings.

FINANCIAL REPORT
FISCAL YEAR 2010
Children’s Memorial Medical Center reported record operating earnings
for the second consecutive year. At the same time, investment markets
recovered from the steep decline experienced in the prior fiscal year.
Both factors contributed to excess of revenues over expenses of
$70.9 million, an increase of $131.2 million. Net assets grew by over
$83 million, up nearly 8 percent from fiscal year 2009.
Children’s Memorial’s faculty physicians, including its two physician
affiliates, Pediatric Faculty Foundation and Children’s Memorial Medical
Group, were essential to the year’s financial success. Faculty physicians led
efforts to improved patient throughput, which allowed volume growth in
a capacity-constrained environment. At the same time, PFF and CMMG
reduced their volume-adjusted costs by 2 percent over prior year.
Children’s Memorial Medical Center’s operating income was $35.2 million,
up from $19.1 million the prior year. The improvement in operations was
driven by four factors:
The improvements in the financial markets combined with strong
operating performance to strengthen the medical center’s balance sheet.
Even with expenditures for Lurie Children’s averaging about $25 million
per month, financial ratios improved over last year. Liquidity, as measured
by days cash on hand, reached 427 days, an increase of 75 days over prior
year. Excluding the cash reserved for Lurie Children’s, days cash on hand
ended the year at 284 days, nearly 100 days higher than “A-rating” levels.
• Growth in admissions, patient days, surgeries and outpatient visits;
• Better reimbursement with a favorable mix of payers;
• Excellent expense control;
• Improved management of personnel and personnel costs.
Children’s Memorial Hospital’s operating earnings of $51.0 million was a
record and was $19 million higher than 2009. Admissions grew 7 percent,
patient days grew 5 percent, surgeries grew 3 percent, and outpatient visits
grew 5 percent at Lincoln Park and 8 percent at outreach sites. High patient
acuity combined with favorable payer mix to drive volume-adjusted revenue
up 2.5 percent. Higher patient volume and better payer mix resulted in
8 percent increase in net patient revenue. Volume-adjusted costs were flat,
helped by lower professional liability and depreciation costs and modest
(2 percent) growth in overall personnel expense. The final factor
contributing to the operating performance was higher productivity, with
a 2 percent improvement in full-time employees per adjusted occupied bed.

We are grateful to the physicians, nurses and staff for their hard work in
making FY2010 such a financial success. We know there will be challenges
in the coming months as we complete our move to Lurie Children’s, and
as we adapt our business model to succeed under healthcare reform.
With two years of strong operating performance and a much-improved
balance sheet, we are very well-positioned to address these and other
challenges we may face.
