Dear Friends,
Thank you for being an important part of our Children’s Hospital of Michigan donor family.
The generosity of donors like you is unparalleled. It’s kindness such as yours that makes a
difference in the lives of the children from our community and around the world.
In the spring issue of the magazine, we shared the details of an exciting new opportunity that
the Detroit Medical Center has fostered through Vanguard Health Systems, an investor-owned
hospital company. Later this summer, all legal approvals involving the deal should be in place and the
Children’s Hospital of Michigan will become the first pediatric hospital owned by Vanguard
Health Systems. This new relationship will result in Children’s Hospital receiving an immediate
infusion of more than $208 million in capital investment, enabling the hospital to realize its
vision of expanding its physical plant to improve services provided to our young patients.
Vanguard’s investment will allow the hospital to shift the focus of future fundraising from
capital initiatives to securing funds through the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Foundation
which was designed to support
progressive and compassionate
pediatric health care. Our hope
is that fundraising will center on
research, education, and community
pediatric outreach programs.
Details of this new chapter in our
history are still being developed but
we do look forward to providing
you with updates in the days ahead.
We are counting on your
continued support now more than
ever as we embark upon this
new adventure. Worldwide, families know they can rely on the Children’s Hospital of Michigan
for exceptional pediatric medical care. This wonderful opportunity to work alongside the
team at Vanguard Health Systems has the potential to enable the hospital to continue to grow
and expand our pediatric programs for the children of our community for many generations
to come.
We appreciate your past support and look forward to a continued partnership with you as
we strive to improve the lives of children battling illness and injury.
Sincerely,

Hertzlers’ 50-plus years of commitment to
Children’s Hospital a special gift
T
he Children’s Hospital of
Michigan has been the foundation and center of Jack and
Dorthie Hertzler’s life for more
than 50 years. Jack continues to keep
apprised of the hospital’s plans and accomplishments even though he retired as
chairman of surgical services in 1985.
Jack and his wife of 66 years, Dorthie,
a long-time member of the Children’s
Hospital of Michigan Auxiliary, share the
same sentiment: The camaraderie of the
staff and the fraternity of friends the couple
had there remains in their hearts.
Jack, born
and raised in
Burlington, Iowa,
completed
medical school at
the University of
Iowa, where he
met Dorthie.
His decision
to become a
physician was
greatly influenced
by helping care
for his father,
who suffered
through years
of pulmonary
disease. He
also was greatly
impressed by a
friend’s mother
who was a nurse

to know how to handle neighborhood
children who became ill or injured.
While in medical school, his attempt
to join the U.S. Navy during World
War II was never realized due to a health
condition. Soon after, in 1944, he and
Dorthie came to Detroit for Jack’s internship at Harper Hospital.
The post required he rotate through
Children’s Hospital. During his senior
residency, in 1947, he gained even more
exposure to Children’s Hospital and
surgical services. Many of Harper’s surgeons
were overseas in military service so surgeons
were scarce at both hospitals providing
Jack with many opportunities.
“During this time, I found I liked the
people and atmosphere at Children’s, which
then was primarily a charitable institution
treating the city’s poor,” he says.
Jack was encouraged to pursue thoracic
(chest) surgery and joined the Children’s
Hospital staff as a thoracic surgeon in 1952.
“Soon I discovered I was doing more pediatric surgery – general and thoracic, elective
and emergency – than adult surgery and
enjoying it more.”
He opened a solo practice of general
and thoracic pediatric surgery in 1955 – a
daring move since he was the first to limit
his practice exclusively to children in the
state of Michigan. “I learned that the people
dedicated to the care of children have a
selflessness and devotion to their patients
and were a pleasure to work with,” he says.
“Soon it became apparent that children
are true and honest patients. When ill,
Dorthie and
Jack Hertzler
there is little question about it, and when
well, it becomes quickly, overtly evident.
As such, children are ideal patients.”
Given this philosophy, Jack embraced
his work finding it challenging and rewarding. During his 30 years with Children’s
Hospital, many conditions of childhood,
thought to be untreatable, were corrected
through surgery. These procedures, which
evolved during Jack’s career, form a modern
history of pediatric surgery.
Among Jack’s accomplishments was the
first successful surgery for children with
esophageal atresia, a birth defect in which
a newborn has an abnormal opening between
the trachea and the esophagus. Today the
treatment is routine in pediatric surgery
centers. He was a pioneer in performing
surgery for the birth defect Hirschsprung’s
disease, a chronically obstructed colon.
He also did the first partial lung resection,
colon transplant and extensive skin graft
from relatives to a severely burned child.
John Foren, 49, of Haslett, Mich., says
Jack saved his life when he was four. The
former editor of the Flint Journal and an
instructor in Michigan State University’s
journalism school says, “My parents talk
about him like he’s a god. In our house, his
name was spoken with reverence.”
Jack operated on Foren to correct a chest
wall birth defect. He also invented a sort of
metal cage for Foren to wear temporarily to
protect his ribs. When Foren met Jack a few
years back, Jack still had the cage and mailed
it to him.
Jack also co-founded the American
Pediatric Surgical Association, now based in
Deerfield, Ill., and helped start the Ronald
McDonald House at Children’s Hospital.
Dorthie made her own considerable
contributions to the hospital. Once the
Hertzlers’ five children were in school,
Dorthie began dedicating dozens of hours
a month running blood work to the pathology laboratory and helping in the hospital’s
operating waiting room. “With Jack working
70 hours a week, it was the only way to see
him,” she says half joking.
Retirement has allowed the couple to
travel, focus on their seven grand and 10
great grandchildren, and partake in varied
projects at their Franklin home and the
hospital. Back in 1972, the couple rescued
a red sandstone medallion and some other
carvings from the old Children’s Hospital
building. The historic medallion embellishes
the Carls Ambulatory Building lobby today.
Jack Baker, M.D., chairman of Children’s
Hospital, and his wife, Susie, a longtime
hospital supporter and member of the
hospital’s Auxiliary, say the Hertzlers are role
models. “They are our guides in terms of
how as a dedicated team they contribute to
Children’s Hospital,” Baker says.

Researcher happy to be back home
contributing to neurosurgery team
N
early 20 years after starting
her research career as an
entry level lab assistant, Alana
Conti, Ph.D., has returned
home – to the Children’s Hospital of
Michigan and Wayne State University,
where she is leading groundbreaking
research in the study of pediatric brain
injuries.
She is happy to be back, and Children’s
Hospital is happy to have her contributing
to the neurosurgery team’s efforts to provide
Michigan with the highest level of pediatric
neurosurgical care.
“Coming back home was extremely important to me,” says Conti, who grew up in
Southfield. “I always knew that if I had a
chance to come back, I would make every
effort to do so. Having the opportunity
to be associated with Detroit’s renown
Children’s Hospital of Michigan and Wayne
State University made my choice easy. I’m
excited to be associated with the team at
Children’s Hospital.”
The department of neurosurgery at
Children’s Hospital specializes in the evaluation and surgical treatment of infants, children and adolescents with neurological
disorders and injuries such as spinal cord,
trauma and brain injuries. It is home to
expert, board-certified, pediatric neurosurgeons, including Michigan’s only pediatric
neurosurgeon specializing in epilepsy surgery.
“Dr. Conti is an accomplished researcher
who has made significant contributions in
the research world, so having her here is a
win-win all the way around,” says Steven
Ham, D.O., chief of neurosurgery at

Children’s Hospital. “We wanted to bring in
someone not directly part of our neurosurgery team. Dr. Conti brings a different skill
set that she can apply to our specialty. She
has a good idea about where we are going in
pediatric neurosurgery and is bringing her
techniques to our problems.”
Conti and her team, which includes postdoctoral fellow Laura Susick and research
technician Jennifer Lowing, are focusing
their research on injuries to the brain as a
result of trauma or hydrocephalus, a condition in which a lack of absorption, blockage
of flow or overproduction of cerebral spinal
fluid causes drastic pressure inside the head.
Before returning to Detroit in July 2009,
Conti was studying fetal alcohol syndrome.
Since starting her new research, she and her
team have discovered that there may be
links in how the young brains react to all
kinds of trauma.
“We are very early in the process, but we
are seeing some generalizations in how
the brain reacts to different injuries,” she
says. “We cannot equate alcohol’s effect on
the brain to an injury’s effect on the brain.
There are differences, of course, but we are
also learning that there are similarities in the
way the brain responds.”
Learning how the brain reacts to these
conditions will go a long way in improving
the way these injuries are treated. Conti’s
work is treading new territory because
there has been little research done to
understand the young brain’s reaction to
different injuries.
“We face numerous unknowns every day,”
she says.
Yet, at Children’s Hospital, she found
a perfect place for her research.
“The things we are doing are not new,
we are just trying to look at them in a
different way,” she says. “At Children’s
Hospital, there’s a long history of trying to understand the cellular response
mechanisms in the brain. I was fortunate
to find a niche here.
“Children’s Hospital has an incredible
patient base and development initiative.
The people here are dedicated to seeing
improvement, and it’s only getting better.”
Conti’s goal is to eventually help
develop a model for treating pediatric
brain injuries. She more than anyone
knows that sorting out all of the mysteries
of the brain will take more than a lifetime.
But for now, she is content to be back in
Detroit, working productively on research
that will find ways to improve the treatment and recovery techniques for children
with brain injuries.
“The brain is a black box – we know we
may never understand it fully,” she says.
“But that is also what keeps us motivated
to learn. We are trying to make small
contributions along the way.
“Our day has been successful if we
know more today than we did yesterday.
By continuing to do that we will make
a difference.”

About Children’s

efore 3-year-old Reece MacDonald
began attending the Children’s
Hospital of Michigan Autism
Center last July, he frequently
flapped his hands, made little eye contact,
wanted only to play alone and was not
hitting many of his developmental milestones.
“Less than a year later, he has changed so
much, and I give the Autism Center one
hundred percent of the credit,” says his
mother Alycia
of Wyandotte.
“He now loves
to play with
other kids, he
rolls and throws
a ball, and he
figures things

May in Novi, is

children like
Reece make positive strides through behavioral and drug intervention. With diagnosed
cases of autism rising rapidly, the need for
the center is acute, says director of the center
Diane Chugani, Ph.D.
The center offers a multi-disciplinary
team approach and early intervention, and

is implementing a Parent Empowerment
Program to assist parents in developing
positive coping strategies that will enable
them to effectively manage their child’s
treatment program as well as other life
stressors associated with raising a child
with autism.
The program is a replica of one used
successfully for many years in the hospital’s
hematology department and to support
parents of children with hemophilia and
sickle cell anemia. Comprised of ten
sessions, the program provides an opportunity for parents to better understand
how autism impacts their child and family
and to build skills and relationships that
promote their well-being.
Meanwhile, Chugani is two years into a
five-year clinical trial study to determine if
the drug Buspirone improves the symptoms
of autism. Buspirone is an anti-anxiety
drug that acts like serotonin in the brain.
The study is based on Chugani’s earlier
studies in which positron emission tomography or PET scans showed that young
children with autism had lower rates of
serotonin production in the brain. The
study is made possible through a $5.8 million grant from the National Institutes of
Health’s National Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke.
“Some of the kids are on the drug and
some are on a placebo. So we won’t know
the results of the study until it is finished,”
Chugani says.
Jill Matson, a nurse practitioner at the
center, says autism diagnosis statistics are
staggering. In 2007, one in 150 children was diagnosed
with autism; one in 94 was a boy. In January 2010, one
in 110 kids was diagnosed, and one in 70 was a boy.
Matson says the center was started to assist families
in getting comprehensive diagnosis, evaluation and
treatment. Each child gets a core evaluation with a
pediatric neurologist, a psychologist and a speech and
language therapist. Afterward, the family meets with
her for feedback. “I help the family put an individual
treatment plan in place,” she says.
Autism affects each child differently, but symptoms
such as language and communication impairment,
social and behavioral difficulties, gastrointestinal
problems, sleep and eating issues and seizure disorders
are common.
Matson says Children’s Hospital is on the forefront
of the disorder, and Chugani’s study, which is in
collaboration with other U.S. hospitals, is important
to autism treatment.
Meanwhile, Reece’s 38 hours a week of interaction
and learning from a team of Children’s Hospital
professionals is helping him progress developmentally.
He has grown attached to the therapist and other team
members. They and his family, including dad Dennis
and Reece’s two siblings, now are working on potty
training him. Alycia says their goal for Reece is to get
him mainstreamed into a regular school after two years
at the Autism Center.
Alycia, who gave up her full-time job to work with
her son at the center and at home, says Reece senses
the positive attitudes of his therapists at the center and
responds to them in a positive way. “The therapists at
the center are wonderful. They have become part of
our family,” she adds.

ome of history’s most creative

Van Gogh, Charles Dickens and
Alfred Nobel – suffered from epilepsy, a debilitating brain disorder caused
by abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

have made those outcomes rare and a team

patients from around the globe.
Epileptic seizures occur when large
numbers of cells in the brain’s cortex
produce an electrical storm that spreads
and damages neighboring tissue. Cases
often have no detectable cause, and the
disease is surprisingly prevalent.
The Epilepsy Foundation estimates that
epilepsy and seizures affect almost 3 million
Americans – nearly 1 percent of the population – at an estimated annual cost, directly
and indirectly, of $15.5 billion. It says
45,000 children aged 14 or younger develop
epilepsy every year.
Even the most conservative estimates
put the number of epilepsy sufferers at
more than 2 million. Some of them outgrow the condition, according to Harry
Chugani, M.D., and some need medication throughout their lives.
Chugani, chief of neurology at
Children’s Hospital, says medication
controls epilepsy in 70 percent of patients.
He and his team – neurosurgeon Sandeep
Sood, M.D., electroneurodiagnostics
medical director Eishi Asano, M.D.,
and staff nurse Sarah Minarik, B.S.N.,
R.N., C.P.N. – are working to offer
viable treatment options for children
with intractable epilepsy, seizures that
don’t respond to medication.
Among the intractable cases, only half
are surgical candidates. Providing that
the focus, the area of the brain where
the seizures originate, is found in only
one hemisphere, surgeons can remove the
damaged tissue. At Children’s Hospital,
doctors use advanced technologies like a
state-of-the-art video monitoring EEG
system to identify the focus. Their surgical
success rate has reached an astonishing 80
to 90 percent and makes the hospital a destination for those in need of the procedure.
“The current focus of research is to
develop methods by which we can localize
the seizure focus in a larger percentage of
patients and offer curative procedures,”
says Sood. Key areas include identifying
biomarkers and chemicals that can
be detected with imaging modalities,
like the PET scan; having a better understanding of how the brain re-organizes in
patients with intractable seizures; and the
effects of surgically removing the focus
on distant parts of the brain.
For patients who are not surgical candidates and whose seizures are not controlled
by medicine, all is not lost.
Most seizures stop after a few minutes
because certain areas of the brain generate
impulses that inhibit them. Some of these
areas can be stimulated by the vagus nerve.
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is designed
to prevent seizures by sending the brain
regular, mild pulses of electrical energy.
Doctors implant a pacemaker-type device
in the patient’s chest, running a wire to
the neck and attaching electrodes to the
vagus nerve. VNS decreases the number
of seizures for approximately two-thirds of
patients. “Options like VNS rarely control
the seizures totally,” explains Chugani,
“and in seeking further treatment options,
deep brain stimulation (DBS) was considered.”
DBS involves implanting pacemaker
electrodes into the brain. A similar process
dealing with the surface of the brain, cortical
stimulation, can also help certain patients
with chronic pain, Sood says.
Chugani recently sat on a panel that
reviewed arguments for and against FDA
approval of DBS. The panel ultimately
suggested approval with certain limitations,
but the request covers patients 18 years and
older, not the children he sees each week.
According to Sood, results among adults
have been convincing, and likely would be
the same for children, though more research
with children is needed. “VNS stimulates
peripheral nerves whereas DBS stimulates
the thalamus in the central nervous system,”
explains Asano. “Epilepsy is a disease of
the central nervous system, therefore DBS
should have more effect on alleviating
epilepsy than VNS.”
As the only facility in the country with
advanced pediatric PET and MRI scans,
Children’s Hospital is uniquely positioned
to offer DBS on a trial basis for children
who don’t respond to other options. Doctors
are hoping to attract the funding that will
advance the research.
Collecting sufficient data to present to the
FDA will bring clinical trials sooner – and
ideally, help clear the way for the Van Goghs
and Nobels of the future.

Ham, D.O. and Sandeep Sood, M.D. strive
daily to uphold Canady’s lofty surgical care
standards and operate in a patient-friendly
manner that would make her proud.
“I feel like a little Canady because she
brought me up,” said Ham, the hospital’s
chief of neurosurgery. “She gave us the
opportunity to learn and shared all of her
knowledge with us. Now, it’s our job to
carry the torch forward.”
At the moment, Ham and Sood – both
of whom trained under and worked alongside Canady, the nation’s first black female
neurosurgeon – are the only surgeons in
a department that performs roughly 1,300
procedures each year. They treat a wide
variety of neurological diseases and conditions including epilepsy, brain tumors,
facial, cranial and spinal abnormalities
and vascular problems such as hemorrhages
and aneurysms. Hydrocephalus is also a
major part of the practice and requires
long term follow up care.
But they don’t do it alone. The department includes 10 physician’s assistants and

provide basic care and work closely with
the surgeons.
“They allow us to be in the operating

Ham said. “We work as a team and that
allows us to be very efficient.”
Ham and Sood both pride themselves on
providing the personal touch for patients.
Not surprisingly, it’s a lesson they learned
from Canady.
“She was here from 7 a.m. until late at
night every day thinking about her patients,”
said Sood, who came to Children’s Hospital
as a fellow in 1991. “She influenced
everything about me, including how I
am with patients, how I think about
decisions and how I operate. I got the
very best training. Everything Dr. Canady
did was remarkable.”
Canady also taught Ham and Sood
the value of working closely as friends
and partners.
“Dr. Sood and I have a great friendship
and we work well together,” said Ham, who
started at the hospital as a resident in 1983.
“If one needs the other’s help, he comes
right away. It doesn’t matter what time

Serra has helped craft the Healing Arts

Children’s Hospital of Michigan being at
the forefront of hospital arts programs,
and is working to develop a Volunteer

that goal.
Fittingly, she has asked longtime
Children’s Hospital supporter Janis

Wetsman credits exposure
to a wide variety of art in her
youth for opening doors to
cultures and people and giving
her a wealth of knowledge she
would never otherwise have
experienced. Her tastes remain
varied. “I have quite a few
loves,” she says. “Right now I’m
really enjoying Southeast Asian
textiles, because they tell you
about the civilization’s historical journey.”
As a member of the
Volunteer Art Advisory Committee,
Wetsman looks forward to introducing
Children’s Hospital’s patients, staff and visitors to different cultures through their art.
She also agrees that art can help in the
healing process. “It can give you a resting
place, an oasis,” she says. “People can enjoy
art on whatever level they want. Every piece
speaks to a person differently.”
Studies show that patients heal faster,
experience less pain and respond to care
better where art is present. There is evidence
that people feel better when surrounded
by nature, for instance, and viewing nature
scenes helps reduce stress and thus improve
clinical outcomes.
A T-shirt once popular in museum shops
reads, “Art never hurt anybody.” Sometimes, it even
helps.

Kidneys for Kids holds first fundraiser
W
hen you’re a kid with kidney
failure, you and your family
don’t lead a normal life. You
spend most of your time on
some type of dialysis; either in the hospital
15 - 20 hours a week or at home every night.
You follow strict diets, take a lot of medications, and don’t get to do the kinds of things
most other kids take for granted; things like
sleepovers or family vacations without a lot of
advance planning. A kidney transplant allows
a child to live a more “normal” life.
That’s why Christina Bartow, R.N., B.S.N.,
C.P.N, and Veronica Bastian, R.N., M.S.N.,
C.P.N.P. , kidney transplant coordinators at
the Children’s Hospital of Michigan, started

Fundraiser. About 100 bowlers participated
and raised more than $5,000 to support
pre- and posttransplant patients
and their families.
“We believe the
best care and outcomes happen as a
result of families
working together
with the transplant
team,” said Bartow.
“The Kidneys for Kids fundraiser was a
fantastic experience. It allowed staff, patients
and families the opportunity to get to
know each other in a setting away from
the hospital. It was great to see the kids
being kids.”

Children’s Hospital Allergy Clinic helps
two Detroit teens control asthma, realize
college dreams
L
Right: Curley Fletcher
is grateful for the
treatment his
daughters received at
Children’s Hospital.
The Fletcher family
(from left to right): Dujan,
Shirletta, Chantel, Curley.
20 About Children’s
Summer 2010
ike all fathers, Curley Fletcher
had big hopes and dreams for his
two young daughters, Shirletta
and Chantel.
But not so long ago, it was difficult – if
not impossible – for Fletcher to see those
aspirations coming true. He was a single
father trying to raise three children and
his two daughters were constantly fighting
health problems related to their chronic
asthma.
Fletcher was supporting his family by
laying carpet and tile. But his work was
interrupted almost every day by a call
from the elementary school, where one
of his daughters was experiencing breathing
problems.
The nights were usually worse. Fletcher
routinely awoke to find one of his daughters
having an asthma attack that their nebulizer
could not control. He’d rush them to the
local emergency room, where they were
treated and then often admitted to the
hospital for several days.
But the fix was always temporary. The
seemingly never-ending cycle of health
problems prevented the girls from
performing well academically.
“We missed so much school,” Chantel
Fletcher said. “We were always behind,
always trying to catch up. It was just
overwhelming.”
Meanwhile, Curley Fletcher was weary
and frustrated.
“It was a scary, rough learning experience,” said Fletcher who also is asthmatic.
By Todd Schulz
“It took me a while to get answers on these
attacks and why they were so severe.”
Eventually, however, Fletcher found help
at the Allergy & Immunology Clinic at the
Children’s Hospital of Michigan, where
doctors successfully diagnosed his daughters’
allergies and created a therapy plan.
Just over a decade later, Shirletta, 18,
and Chantel Fletcher, 17, are healthy teenagers who’ve turned their lives around in
astonishing fashion. Both girls graduated
from Detroit’s Cass Technical High School
this spring with 4.0 grade-point averages and
were preparing to start their college careers at
Wayne State and Johns Hopkins universities,
respectively.
Shirletta – who was held back as a first
grader because of her health problems –
earned a Presidential Scholarship while
Chantel won a Bill Gates Millennium
Scholarship.
The Fletchers credit a large part of the
girls’ success to the treatment that finally
brought their extreme, allergy-related
asthma problems under control.
“The Allergy Clinic staff at Children’s
Hospital turned their lives around,” Curley
Fletcher said. “With their physical condition as young girls, I was just hoping to get
them to graduate high school – period,”
Fletcher said. “They struggled so much. I
just wanted them to get a diploma. I never
thought they’d excel like they did.
“You’re talking to a proud father and
words can’t express how grateful I am to
Children’s Hospital.”
Children’s Hospital of Michigan childrensdmc.org 21
The Fletchers
know anything
is possible.
Pictured above
are Dujan,
Curley, Shirletta
and Chantel.
The first step to helping the Fletcher
girls was determining what was triggering
their asthma attacks. The search for answers
was long and difficult, but Curley Fletcher
offered one clue: whenever the family
returned to their eastside Detroit home
after visiting Belle Isle, a favorite spot for
picnics and day outings, his daughters
would develop severe breathing problems.
Turns out, dad was on to something.
A series of skin tests revealed that both
Shirletta and Chantel were allergic to grass
and weeds, both of which could trigger
their terrible attacks.
The clinic at Children’s Hospital then
started allergen immunotherapy. That
meant a series of shots to help the girls
modify their immune systems’ response to
the allergen and build a tolerance that
would help control the asthma.
“It’s really helped,” Chantel Fletcher said.
“I wasn’t in the emergency room that much.
I could roll with my friends. I got to focus
more on my education. I’m very grateful
to Children’s Hospital. If it wasn’t for (the
doctors) I’d probably be taking a nebulizer
treatment right now!”
Both girls excelled academically after
their breathing problems were in check.
“The better I felt, the better I did in
school,” Shirletta said. “It motivated me to
do my work and to do better. I realized I
22 About Children’s
Summer 2010
was just as smart as everyone else.”
Since 2004, Dr. Milind Pansare, a
pediatric allergist, has treated both Shirletta
and Chantel. The Fletcher family deserves
the credit for a successful outcome because
they followed through faithfully on the
treatment plan doctors designed, he said.
“They are an exceptional family,” Pansare
said. “These girls are smart and motivated
and their father is very supportive. In spite
of all the adversity they faced, they were
determined to meet their goals. It makes
you feel proud of them.”
The Fletcher girls initially received allergy
shots every one to two weeks. But for
roughly the past five years, they’ve only
needed treatments every four to six weeks.
Their condition has improved so much,
Pansare said, both girls may be able to
stop allergen immunotherapy when they
start college.
Next fall, Curley Fletcher’s dreams will
come true as Shirletta and Chantel head
off to college to study psychology and
public health, respectively.
“It was huge turnaround,” said Fletcher,
who also has a 16-year-old son, Dujuan,
attending Frederick Douglas Academy
in Detroit. “They’re doing a great job at
Children’s Hospital. The people we deal
with there are so dedicated – and it makes
a difference.”

Why we give?
We contribute to Children’s Hospital of Michigan based on the quality
care provided to both our daughter Kathryn and our nephew Paul by
Drs. Arcari and Arciniegas in the early �80s. It’s reassuring to know that
the service levels afforded the kids in the past are still practiced at the
highest level possible by the best healthcare professionals in Michigan.
