Dear Friends,
This issue is a tribute to you and the
thousands of donors who have supported the
Children’s Hospital of Michigan over the years.
Since its inception more than 120 years ago, the
physicians and staff at the Children’s Hospital
of Michigan have stood by the children of our
region and advocated for them. This could only
have been possible because of the thoughtful
contributions from donors like you.
Your support is always appreciated and
welcomed, but never has it been more
important than it is right now. Our country
is experiencing one of the most trying times
in our history. Many in our community have
had to make difficult decisions like putting
food on the table for their family or paying
their mortgage.
However, children will continue to need
medical care regardless of the economic
conditions and they cannot wait for treatment.
It is through the continued support of many
friends like you that the Children’s Hospital
of Michigan is able to fulfill its mission of taking
care of the most vulnerable in our community. With your assistance, we are able to prevent, treat
and work towards eliminating pediatric disease and injury.
Author and poet Maya Angelou once said, “How important it is for us to recognize and
celebrate our heroes and she-roes!”
At the Children’s Hospital of Michigan heroes and she-roes exist everywhere you look, but
the most important one is you. You, and the countless others who make up our compassionate
donor family, allow us to deliver the very best health care to our young patients. This institution
is proof positive of how we can make a difference in the community with your help.
On behalf of the patients and families we serve, please accept my most sincere appreciation for
your generosity. We are grateful for your kindness.
Sincerely,
Herman B. Gray, M.D., M.B.A.
President, Children’s Hospital of Michigan

party for more than 25 years.
The Ann Arbor auto dealer remembers his
late mother, Ruth Rock, being on the organizing committee.
That was back when the NAIAS was
not yet international, and when the Boy’s
Club of Detroit was the only beneficiary
of an event that now funds a dozen

worthy non-profits. As a co-chair of the
2009 NAIAS, Fox was thrilled that the
Charity Preview party added the Children’s
Hospital of Michigan to the slate of charities
the event supports.
“We couldn’t be happier that Children’s
By Marcy Hayes
Hospital of Michigan has become our 12th
charity. We have a strict policy that all the
beneficiaries are child-focused not-forprofits, and I can tell you that the positive
remarks made by our staff about Children’s
Hospital’s staff have been unprecedented,”
Fox said. “They continuously came to us
and asked how they could help, selling
tickets, getting more involved and taking
it to the next level.”
More than 200 Charity Preview patrons
extended the auto industry’s biggest
night at a special afterglow hosted by
the Children’s Hospital of Michigan at
Motor City Casino’s DTour Spa. Kicking
off their shoes and sinking into a pair of
complimentary slippers, guests explored
the spa enjoying mini-services and dining
at a variety of food stations.
“It is an honor for the Children’s Hospital
of Michigan to be included as one of the
12 charities to benefit from the Charity
Preview,” said Herman B. Gray, M.D.,
president of Children’s Hospital.
Three areas of the hospital will benefit
from funds raised at the Charity Preview.
The unique Best Upon Request program for
the hospital’s families offers everything from
information about event opportunities and
suggestions for holiday celebrating to special
concierge services. The Tourette Syndrome
fund provides financial support for clinical
diagnosis and treatment of the neurological
disorder and The Autism School is being
designed specifically to treat children with
Autism.
Grant helps Children’s Hospital make mental
health care more convenient, accessible
S
ocial workers and doctors at the
Children’s Hospital of Michigan’s
Adolescent Medicine Clinic had
no trouble spotting teenagers in
need of mental health services.
But they couldn’t deliver the care on site.
Too often, that prevented young patients
from receiving help until their problems
ballooned into serious psychiatric issues.
Now, a new partnership aims to break
down the barriers to providing teens with
mental health care. The Flinn Foundation
recently awarded Children’s Hospital a
three-year, $375,000 grant as part of its
Integrated Care Initiative to expand
mental health services in primary
care settings throughout southeast
Michigan.
The Adolescent Clinic will
use the grant to hire a full-time
social worker and a full-time
psychologist to provide enhanced
screening, motivational interviewing and on-site mental health care
for its patients.
“We were very aware of the issues
and problems the kids have,” said
Mary Mueller, manager of social
work. “But for a variety of reasons,
it was very challenging to assist kids in getting the help they need.”
Common hurdles included insurance
and transportation issues as well as a social
stigma attached to seeking mental health
care, Mueller said.
“It can get overwhelming for patients
and their families and often they just give
By Todd Schulz
up,” she said. “We’re trying to make care as
convenient and accessible as possible. When
they’re in the clinic, they’ll be able to walk
across the room and talk to a counselor.”
Founded in 1976 by siblings Ethel
and James Flinn, the Detroit-based Flinn
Foundation is committed to improving
the scope, quality and care of services for
individuals with mental illness.
Children’s Hospital was one of eight sites
to win a grant from the Flinn Foundation’s
Integrated Care Initiative, a $3.4-million
effort to help identify and treat the
symptoms of mental illness before they
develop into disabling disorders.
“The Adolescent Clinic was a perfect fit
because it’s on the front lines,” said Andrea
Cole, the foundation’s executive director and
CEO. “People can receive the care they need
in a setting where they are comfortable and
that helps reduce the stigma.”

Children’s Tourette Syndrome team
tackling brain’s biggest mysteries
R
esearchers at the Children’s
Hospital of Michigan are using
cutting-edge technology to unlock
the mysteries of Tourette
Syndrome. Led by Harry Chugani, M.D.,
the team has treated and studied roughly
100 children and adults to learn more about
Tourette Syndrome. They hope their work
helps improve treatments and eventually
contributes to a cure for the disorder.
“We’re trying
to understand the
basic underlying
cause of Tourette
Syndrome,” said
Chugani, chief of
pediatric neurology,
director of the PET
Center, and the
Rosalie and Bruce
Rosen Family
Endowed Chair for Tourette Syndrome and
Related Neurological Disorders Research.
“We are using a multi-disciplinary approach
to tackling the clinical as well as the
research perspectives of the disease.”
Tourette Syndrome is a neurological
disorder characterized by multiple tics,
which are abrupt, purposeless and involuntary vocal sounds or jerks. Tourette
Syndrome is often accompanied by
attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder,
obsessive-compulsive disorder or both.
Symptoms usually start between the ages
of 5 and 10 years old.
Children’s Hospital researchers are

contributing to the global effort to locate
the gene or genes responsible for Tourette
Syndrome, though an answer may still be
years away. In addition to Chugani, the
research team, which includes neuropsychologist Michael Behen, Ph.D., research
coordinator Cathie Germain, and many
medical students, is also using imaging
technology such as PET (Positron Emission
Tomography) scans and advanced MRI
exams, to study the function and structure
of the brain. A.H.M. Huq, M.D., a
neurogeneticist in the division of neurology
at Children’s Hospital, collaborates in the
genetics research.
One key finding: patients with Tourette
Syndrome seem to have an abnormal
connection between two regions of the brain,
the frontal cortex and the basal ganglia.
“The tracks are not laid down the way
they ought to be possibly because the genes
responsible for that are mutated,” Chugani
said. “As a result, we get the abnormal
interactions and the tics.”
Generously supported by Rosalie and
Bruce Rosen, the research also includes a
battery of neuropsychological tests to
help predict the symptoms of Tourette
Syndrome and determine the best
treatment methods for various subtypes
of the disorder, Behen said.

Personal Giving
Etkin family supports specialty clinic
in memory of late father, husband
T
oby Etkin knows her late husband,
Alex, would be proud of the recently
opened Children’s Hospital of
Michigan Alex J. Etkin Specialty
Center in Southfield.
But Etkin also guesses he’d be pleasantly
perturbed about having the facility named
in his honor.
“Having his name on
something was not the
way Alex liked to go,” Toby
Etkin said with a chuckle.
“He would not be happy
about that. He would have
grumbled about it. But in
this case, he would understand the value of having
the name on the building
and gone ahead with it
because, hopefully, it will
give other people ideas
about doing the same thing.
The idea is to inspire others
to follow suit.”
Alex Etkin certainly inspired his son,
Doug, who spearheaded the project in
memory of his father, who passed away
in 2000. The specialty clinic was made
possible by a significant naming gift
from Toby Etkin, Doug Etkin and his
wife, Judith.
The 10,000-square-foot facility houses
a range of outpatient pediatric specialties,
including adolescent medicine, endocrinology, ENT/otolaryngology, gastroenterology, neurology, neurosurgery, speech
By Todd Schulz
pathology and audiology, and a
diabetes clinic. Located at Franklin
Road and Northwestern Highway, the
facility replaces the hospital’s prior site in
Southfield located on Lahser Road.
The new facility, which opened in March,
provides a greater convenience for patients
in Southfield and
surrounding cities
in Oakland County.
Nearly 146,000
outpatient visits
occurred at the
Children’s Hospital
of Michigan last year.
“We believe that
every family should
have convenient access
to first-class pediatric
specialty care and
are appreciative of
the Etkins’ support
for this project,” says
Alex J. Etkin
Children’s Hospital of
Michigan President Herman B. Gray, M.D.
The goal of the clinic is simple: to make
high-quality, specialized health-care more
accessible for children and their families.
“We’re bringing the facilities and care
to them,” said Doug Etkin, 56, one of the
principals of Etkin Equities, a commercial
real estate firm. “It’s a convenience and
familiarity issue. They’re getting care at a
child-friendly medical building before they
may have to go to the main hospital. We’re
very pleased and proud to have our father’s
Children’s Hospital of Michigan childrensdmc.org 5

in Southfield.
name attached to a facility that serves those
purposes.”
The mission and the location of the clinic
offered the perfect opportunity to honor
Alex, who was a highly successful building
contractor in the metropolitan Detroit area
for many years.
“Alex had very strong feelings about what
you should do in your community and
personal life,” Toby Etkin said. “He felt
that if you were fortunate enough to be able
to give back a portion of what you’d gotten,
you should do that. Not only money, but
it was also important to give your time.
We had the example set by him.”
Doug Etkin has a personal connection to
Children’s Hospital. On Thanksgiving
Day 1982, he took his infant daughter,
Stephanie, to the hospital because of breathing problems. Doctors diagnosed her with
an immature reflux valve and successfully
treated the problem.
Today, Stephanie, 26, is healthy and
recently completed her master’s degree at
the University of Michigan. Though the
health scare turned out to be relatively minor,
it provided Doug Etkin with a glimpse of
the challenges that patients at Children’s
6
About Children’s
Summer 2009
Hospital face – and the top-notch care
they receive.
“Ultimately, my daughter’s condition
was not a big deal,” he said. “But it
created a connection about the importance
of Children’s Hospital as it related to
specialty care and the provision of services
to children in the Detroit area.”
The experience stuck with Doug Etkin
for many years until he was offered a chance
to become a board member at one of the
Detroit Medical Center’s hospitals.
“I said I was only interested in working with one institution – and that was
Children’s,” said Doug Etkin, who has
served as a Children’s Hospital board of
trustees member for 17 years.
“Children’s Hospital provides a degree of
dedicated specialty care for children, and
only children, on an intensive, skillful
basis. If my child had a need for such care,
I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else in
Michigan,” says Etkin.

Hospital is
Jalin’s
“field trip”
By Marti Benedetti
Children’s Hospital of Michigan childrensdmc.org 7
Jalin and Tylin Jones
(pictured on page 7).
J
alin Jones was a perfectly healthy 7-yearold just two years ago. He liked to draw
and play with his little brother Tylin.
But one day while he was sitting in
his second grade classroom, his life took
a dramatic turn.
He suddenly became silent and still,
staring straight ahead, seemingly in another
world. Reacting quickly, school officials and
his parents Pam and Marlin Jones got him
to the Children’s Hospital of Michigan,
where the medical staff determined he
was having a complex partial seizure. The
seizures recur and cause him to space out,
sometimes for up to 10 minutes, says his
mother Pam.
Physicians at Children’s Hospital conduct
ongoing neurological testing and are treating Jalin with medication. While his seizures
occur less frequently, they continue to work
with him to make seizures a thing of the past.
Jalin’s physician Harry Chugani, M.D.,
chief of pediatric neurology, director of
the PET Center, and the Rosalie and
Bruce Rosen Family Endowed Chair
for Tourette Syndrome and Related
Neurological Disorders Research at
Children’s Hospital, says one percent
of the population has epilepsy. Of those,
70 percent are controlled with medication,
leaving 30 percent not controlled.
“Half of those people can be fixed with
surgery,” he says. Surgery is considered if
a patient tries three medications and is still
not controlled. “We want our patients to
be 100 percent controlled.”
Chugani says if Jalin, who is 9, goes two
years without a seizure, he, most likely,
will be weaned off the medication. However,
8

Summer 2009
By Marti Benedetti
some patients will relapse when the medication is withdrawn and will need to go back
on medication.
“At present, Jalin’s seizures are controlled,”
he says. “Therefore, we are not considering
surgery. We will continue to work with
him to make sure his seizures are controlled
and to monitor potential side effects of the
medications.”
Jalin began taking Trileptal after his first
seizure, and was symptom-free for a year and
a half. In July 2008, he had another episode,
which led physicians to give him a higher
dose of the medication. Typically, the only
warning Jalin gets before a seizure is a severe
headache. Last October, he had yet another
seizure. Doctors prescribed Keppra along
with Trileptal.
“I noticed over Christmas break that he
would sleep a lot in the morning and he was
often agitated, which is not his personality,”
says Pam, a medical student coordinator
at Sinai Grace Hospital’s Department of
Medicine at the Detroit Medical Center.
“I talked with his teacher who said he was
very drowsy in class and sometimes stared
blankly at her for short periods of time.”
Jalin’s good grades fell, and he often
seemed angry. So Chugani took him off
Keppra and the fourth grader was soon back
to being himself.
Jalin has had MRIs and EEGs as well as
a PET scan. Soon, he will undergo videoEEG monitoring for 23 hours to determine
whether there is a focal point in the brain
from where the seizures are arising.
Seizures in children very often are caused
by a malformation in the brain, Chugani
says. Some types of seizures children
outgrow, but others continue to plague them
into adulthood, requiring them to stay on
medication for life.
Pam says that when Jalin has a seizure,
he must be taken into Children’s Hospital
for resuscitation and sometimes additional
tests. But it doesn’t bother him. In fact, he
relishes it.
“Jalin and Tylin think of Children’s
Hospital as a fun fair or a mall,” Pam says.
“The boys’ response to a trip to the hospital
is ‘yeah, we’re going to Children’s.’ They
know their way around. They act like it
is a field trip – a treat.”
She knows their reaction to the hospital
may sound a bit strange, but she says it is a
reflection of the care and warmth the boys
receive from the Children’s Hospital staff.
Jalin, who loves to draw and write stories,
is a fan of the Avengers and other super hero
comic books, which the hospital’s gift shop
carries. “There is nothing he likes better
than going to the library and book stores,”
Pam says.
“When Jalin gets admitted, he plays with
the games and toys at the hospital and goes
to the gift shop. He gets his own menu and
orders his favorite food. The people there are
terrific,” she adds.

Children’s Hospital first to use brain imaging,
genetics research to treat OCD
T
he Children’s Hospital of
Michigan is the first to use
combined brain imaging and
genetic studies in children with
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and
the result is a new treatment option for
those with the difficult psychiatric illness.
Findings from our study have
suggested glutamate involvement in
OCD,” says David Rosenberg, M.D.,
chief of child psychiatry and psychology and Miriam L. Hamburger Endowed
Chair of Child Psychiatry at Children’s
Hospital of Michigan, and professor at
Wayne State University. “This has led
to testing of new medications for OCD
such as the glutamate modulating agent
Riluzole.” Glutamate is a neurotransmitter
in the brain.
A child or adolescent with OCD has
obsessive thoughts that are unwanted and
related to fears (such as a fear of touching
dirty objects) and uses compulsive rituals
10 About Children’s
Summer 2009
By Marti Benedetti
to control the fears (such as excessive hand
washing – sometimes more than 100
times a day).
Rosenberg says the hospital is doing this
research to improve the diagnosis and
treatment of OCD patients. “We’ve not
been able to say if a child would better
respond to medicine or a type of therapy.
The goal of the study is to detect specific
chemical patterns before treatment that may
predict who is more likely or less likely to
respond to a particular treatment.”
He adds that research is showing that
chemical abnormalities in the brain may
be reversible with the right medication and
cognitive therapy. Cognitive therapy focuses
on helping the child or adolescent identify
and understand their fears and learn new
ways to resolve or reduce those fears more
effectively. OCD in children and adults
has been treated with medications such as
Prozac, Zoloft, Luvox and Anafranil.
The research was the first to identify that
glutamate-related genes may be associated
with OCD. “MRI (Magnetic Resonance
Imaging), genetics and basic neuroscience
studies allow us to measure structure, chemistry and function in the brain and identify
glutamate abnormalities,” Rosenberg says.
This work may also have practical
implications as glutamate-modulating
agents are being used in treatment-resistant
OCD. About a third of OCD patients
do not respond to treatment; two thirds
partially respond.
In the past, the cause of OCD has not
been known. Evidence suggests that
people with OCD have a deficiency of
a chemical in the brain called serotonin.
Without enough serotonin, depression can
develop. Glutamate turns serotonin on or
off so children with OCD are being given
Riluzole, a glutamate-modulating drug.
The National Institute of Mental Health’s
double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of
Riluzole is underway in pediatric OCD
patients.
OCD tends to run in families, suggesting
a strong genetic component. However,
OCD may also develop without a family
history of OCD.
It is a debilitating neuropsychiatric
condition affecting about 1 to 3 percent
of the population and is known to have
a median age of onset of 19 with 21 percent
of the cases having onset by age 10. When
OCD is present, obsessive thoughts cause
distress and compulsive rituals can become
so frequent or intense that they interfere
with activities of daily living and normal
developmental activities.
Other OCD symptoms include repeated
doubts (for example, whether or not the door
is locked); obtrusive thoughts about violence,
hurting, killing someone; spending long
periods of time touching things,
counting, thinking about
numbers and sequences; preoccupation with order, symmetry
or exactness; excessive attention
to detail; and hoarding objects.
In most cases, the activities involved with the disorder
consume more than one hour
each day and cause psychological distress and impaired mental
functioning.
“Two thirds of these patients will develop
clinical depression. It takes over their whole
life,” Rosenberg says.
Further research at Children’s Hospital
has started to explore brain imaging and
genetics as they pertain to other psychiatric
conditions in children such as depression
and bi-polar disorder.
“A fascinating finding in children with
depression is if a child has a family history
of depression (mother or father), their brain
images look entirely different than those
children with no family history,” Rosenberg
says. “That tells us maybe treating all
depression the same way is not good.”

Symposium creates greater awareness
to help children of substance abusers
J
Herman B. Gray, M.D., M.B.A.,
Julie Fisher Cummings and
David Rosenberg, M.D.
12 About Children’s
Summer 2009
ulie Fisher Cummings has been
concerned with the well-being of
children for many years. She began her
work with underserved children in
southeast Michigan through the Lovelight
Foundation, which Cummings co-founded
with two other women. Next she became
involved in the field of substance abuse
and its impact on children. Knowing these
children rarely get the help they need,
Cummings is an advocate for the one in four
children in the United
States who live in a
home where there is
substance abuse.
Cummings ultimately
assumed the chairmanship of the board of the
National Association
for Children of
Alcoholics (NACoA) in
Rockville, Md. “I feel
health care professionals should be better
educated in this area since they are the ones
on the front lines and they can have a positive and healing impact on the lives of so
many children,” she says.
Bringing this topic to the forefront of
medical professionals’ minds was the reason
the Peter D. and Julie Fisher Cummings
Family Foundation funded the Fisher
Cummings Substance Abuse Symposium
May 1 at Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
About 250 doctors, physician assistants,
social workers and other professionals
attended.
Presenters included Hoover Adger, Jr.,
M.D., M.P.H., professor of pediatrics
By Marti Benedetti
at Johns Hopkins University School of
Medicine; Robert A. Zucker, Ph.D.,
professor of psychiatry and psychology at
the University of Michigan; Robert F. Anda,
M.D., M.S., scientific consultant, Medicine
and Public Health Policy; and Constance
Weisner, Dr.P.H., L.C.S.W., professor
department of psychiatry at the University
of California in San Francisco.
David Rosenberg, M.D., chief of
child psychiatry and psychology and
Miriam L. Hamburger Endowed Chair
of Child Psychiatry at Children’s Hospital
of Michigan, a professor at Wayne State
University, and the symposium moderator,
agrees the event would not have happened
without the Cummings’ gift.
“This symposium sprang out of their
commitment to Children’s Hospital and
doing more to help the underserved in this
community,” Rosenberg says. “We share
the same passion to educate the families we
serve and the professionals who see these
children and adolescents.”
Children of substance abusers often end
up with their own substance abuse problems, have trouble with relationships, and
face a host of health issues. The Cummings
have sponsored lectures on pediatric/adolescent substance abuse topics for nearly 10
years, but this year they pulled out all the
stops to gather the foremost experts on the
subject.
“Most professionals who see these children
don’t have the training in this area and don’t
ask the right questions, so the problems are
not caught,” Rosenberg says.
Cummings, along with Rosenberg, hopes
a white paper will be created as a result of
the information shared at the symposium.
“We hope to see it published in major
medical journals such as The Journal of
the American Academy of Child and Adolescent
Psychiatry or the journal, Pediatrics,”
Rosenberg says.
Sis Wenger, president and CEO of NACoA,
says the symposium was important not just
for Detroit but nationally. “We began
planning this before all the health care reform
discussion about cost containment and efficiencies began in Washington,” she says.
She adds that it was a most important
step in spreading the message “that children
of addicted parents deserve and need
caring adults to help balance out the chaos
at home.”
Research shows that the chronic emotional
stress of living with an alcoholic or drug
user has an adverse effect on a child’s neurodevelopment. Studies have shown persons
who have grown up with such adverse
childhood experiences die ten years earlier
than their peers, are more often diagnosed
with diabetes, cancer, anxiety disorders or
depression. Having an addicted parent can
have a powerful impact on a child, but it is
worse if the addict is the mother. “It plays
out in the children’s social and emotional
stability,” Wenger says.
“The symposium stressed that every
primary care person needs to understand
that it does damage to do nothing (to help
these children),” Wenger says. “So many
people in the medical field feel they cannot
fix the problem and therefore do not make
an effort to help it surface. On the contrary,
they make an enormous difference just by
simply telling the child there are safe people
to help them, like a teacher or school social
worker or grandparent. Children also need to
be told it is not their fault and they should
ask for help for themselves.”
Wenger adds that research shows that
ignoring the problem places a great burden on
the health care system. Children of alcoholics
and addicts have more accidents and get sick
more often.
“The great myth is most of these kids turn
out alright anyway. But they don’t. They
are at risk for multiple physical and mental
health problems for the rest of their lives.
So many kids get a raw deal and it doesn’t
have to be that way,” Wenger says.

Child Protection Center team
advocates for children
W
e’ve all seen the headlines
and watched shocking
television stories about
children who are abused or
neglected. The cases seem so horrific that
they are hard to believe. But when the stories
are true and children’s lives are in jeopardy,
the team of experts at the Children’s Hospital
of Michigan’s Child Protection Center (CPC)
is ready to provide a full range of critical
services to children and their families.
Children’s Hospital has been a long-time
leader in providing medical treatment, care
and advocacy in the area of child maltreatment. The CPC
was created in
2005 and is
part of the
hospital’s
Helppie
Institute for
Child Health
Advocacy,
named for supporters Richard
and Leslie
Helppie. The
institute
provides
advocacy and
outreach
programs to assist families.
The CPC is led by Medical Director
Dena Nazer, M.D. and Clinical Support
Services Director Shirley Mann Gray,
L.M.S.W., and provides comprehensive
medical evaluations and assessments for

children with all forms of suspected maltreatment including physical abuse, sexual
abuse, and neglect.
“We are trained to evaluate children in a
friendly environment. We also assist parents
in taking steps to protect their children to
prevent further abuse from happening,”
reports Nazer. “Often, the exam process is
therapeutic; leaving the child relieved and
reassured that they are still healthy and
normal after the abuse.”
“After an exam, we refer children to the
appropriate medical, counseling, legal and
other services they may need. In certain
cases abuse is diagnosed and we help
protect a child from an abusive environment. In others, we may diagnose a medical
or congenital condition that mimics abuse
and assist in keeping the child with his or
her family,” she says.
In addition to Nazer, the CPC staff
includes Martha Kerr, L.M.S.W., Deborah
Kennedy, R.N., and Sabrina Biggens. They
help not only families but many others in
the community. The team works with
policy-makers and legislators; collaborates
with Child Protective Services, social
workers and law enforcement personnel;
and when necessary, testifies in court.
Sadly, abuse and neglect exists. But with
the help of the Child Protection Center,
the most vulnerable in southeast Michigan
will be protected.
To learn more about how to support the Child
Protection Center at the Children’s Hospital of
Michigan, please call (313) 745-5373 or visit

Madeline Balice
holds Terri Rouser
in the NICU.
Children’s Hospital employee spends spare time
volunteering at… the hospital!
M
adeline Balice of St. Clair Shores
has logged more than 300
volunteer hours at the
Children’s Hospital of Michigan
over the past three years, mostly on Friday
nights. What makes that remarkable is that
she logs in as a volunteer in the same hospital
where she spends five days a week on the job.
An administrative assistant by day in the
office of the Chair of Pediatrics, Madeline
began her volunteer shifts at the front lobby
information desk. More recently, she’s been
holding and feeding babies in the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Erin O’Mara, the volunteer/community
relations manager, points to Madeline as
one of the reasons the Children’s Hospital of
Michigan is a special place. “We can always
count on her,” O’Mara says. “Madeline is
very calming, and in this environment that’s
really helpful.”
O’Mara remembers when Balice was
volunteering on the fourth floor, where
parents and family of the hospital’s sickest
By Marcy Hayes
children wait for news. The dynamic of the
room changes from hour to hour, but the
recurring theme is stress. Madeline, she
says, made sure the families had what they
needed without interfering. Her calm
demeanor makes her equally adept at
helping the fussiest of babies in the NICU.
When Madeline arrived at Children’s
Hospital, she says, she quickly felt as though
she’d found a home and a purpose. It was just
six months into her day job that she signed up
with Volunteer Services. She became one of
the first friendly smiles visitors encountered
at the information desk and strived to make
each visitor’s path a little less anxious.
“I like being able to help people,” Madeline
says. “Whether it’s showing someone how
to navigate the hospital or comforting a
baby, I get to help people. And that’s a great
feeling,” – a feeling worth holding onto,
even when her workweek is done.
For more information on becoming a volunteer, call

The Chase Away Foundation gives

Vice President Brendan
Brosnan, President and
Founder Brenda Brosnan,
Advisory Board Member
Mike Babcock, and
Event and Media Chair
Kathy Jaroslawski.
16 About Children’s
Summer 2009
renda and Brendan Brosnan and
their son Chase know firsthand
the discomfort and boredom that
goes with a long-term illness. Chase
was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, which is
a form of cancer, and opsoclonus-myoclonus
syndrome (OMS), a rare autoimmune disorder
that attacks the brain and all motor function.
Chase was treated at the Children’s Hospital of
Michigan for six years before the cancer and
OMS were in remission.
To show their gratitude to Children’s
Hospital and to help other children undergoing long-term treatment, the Brosnans
founded The Chase Away Foundation and
recently made a $50,000 donation to the
hospital’s 6 West Treatment Room and its
Hematology/Oncology Clinic.
The 6 West Treatment Room, where
Chase was treated eight years ago, is getting
a $20,000 renovation so that children feel
more relaxed and comfortable while receiving
invasive treatments. It will be renamed
the Chase Away Treatment Room. The
remaining balance along with funds
from other generous donors goes toward
By Marti Benedetti
remodeling the Hematology/Oncology
Clinic’s patient rooms, hallway, infusion
room, lighting and equipment.
Brenda says while Chase, who is now 9,
was a patient, she and Brendan donated a
large, flat-screen television and bought several
“poke” toys, such as LEGOs, Webkinz and
DVDs, for the Hematology/Oncology Clinic.
“Kids come in and out of there everyday and,
like Chase, they get lots of (needle) pokes.
These toys take their mind off the treatment,”
she adds.
“We felt other children did not have the
luxuries our child had, so we wanted to give
back,” she says.
Next on the agenda for the foundation is
a September 24 fundraiser “An Evening with
Mike Babcock,” the Detroit Red Wings Head
Coach, who is a supporter and advisory board
member of the foundation.
“Our goal for 2009 is to raise enough funds
to buy new flat screen televisions and DVD
players for every bed on the oncology floor,”
Brenda says.

Foundation, visit www.chaseaway.org.
Comfort Bears are a source of reassurance
I
f you’ve ever been hospitalized and
required an IV placed as part of your
treatment, you know that finding a vein
can be difficult. Often pokes can be
painful and stressful and are one of the most
common fears and experiences for hospitalized
children. Fortunately, the Children’s Hospital
of Michigan IV Team specializes in making
the experience as easy for patients and families
as possible through their exceptional skills and
Comfort Bears.
A new program at the hospital, Comfort
Bears are given to children exclusively by the
IV Team to cuddle as a distraction or a reward
for an IV start. The six-inch tall bears are available in many colors. Comfort Bears are the
creation of jeweler Gary Wachler of David
Wachler & Sons in Birmingham, Michigan,
who was inspired by his childhood memory of
spending the night at Children’s Hospital in
a large ward with several other children.
“It was boring and lonely,” recalls
Wachler. “Fortunately, my mother
had left behind four or five puppets
for me to play with. The other kids
and I ended up entertaining ourselves by putting on a puppet
show, kind of like Kukla,
By Sheila M. Edwards
Fran and Ollie, which was popular at the
time,” said Wachler.
Comforting others who are hospitalized
or who are in need is part of the Wachler
family tradition.
“My mom, Eileene, used to have us spend
time doing projects and making things
that we would take to hospitals and other
organizations, especially during holidays,”
said Wachler. They continue the tradition
today through the non-profit Comfort
Bears for Kids.
The bears are $5.00 each and donations can
be made by visiting www.comfortbearsforkids.org,
or the Comfort Bears for Kids Cause page on
Facebook. The donor may earmark the donations for the Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
“Someone who has been here and knows
what it is like really understands what is needed.
Gary knows first-hand what can
make a difference for a patient,”
said Kelly Landis, special events
officer at Children’s Hospital.
Gary Wachler and his
Comfort Bears help kids get
through a difficult experience
with smiles instead of tears.

Children’s Health Night funds safety net
for needy families
I
magine not having enough money to
purchase the necessary prescriptions for
your child after being discharged from
the hospital. Or imagine not being able
to get home from the hospital because you
don’t have bus fare. Unfortunately, these are
very real problems that some parents face.
Kelsey Peregord pals around
with Paws at the 2008
Children’s Health Night.
18 About Children’s
Summer 2009
Fortunately, a safety net is in place to help
those in need. Children’s Health Night, an
annual event held during a Detroit Tigers
game helps raise money for the Children’s
Hospital of Michigan’s family assistance
fund. The fund, administered by the
hospital’s social work department, provides
emergency support for patients and their
families.
Sometimes patients and their families
need help to pay for parking, meals,
By Sheila M. Edwards
transportation or medication, especially
when a child is hospitalized unexpectedly.
“These are emergency situations that may
not be covered by insurance that are funded
through the social work family assistance
fund,” explains Mary Mueller, manager of
social work at Children’s Hospital.
Money from the family assistance fund
also helps patients and their families when
regular sources of support cannot. Mueller
listed several examples of one-time necessities that the family assistance fund has
provided for in the past, such as the building
of a wheelchair ramp, the funeral of a child
whose family is financially distressed, and
support for families who lose their jobs
due to the illness of their child.
“We even purchased a room air conditioner for a young patient who had skin
wounds that would not heal without a
special bed/mattress that generated a lot of
heat. Because it was mid-summer, the heat
would have been unbearable and he would
not have been able to leave the hospital.
The room air conditioner allowed him to
go home to heal,” she said.
“The social work department gets
involved whenever a non-medical issue is
identified,” said Mueller. “We assess the
issues, determine what resources are
needed and provide support in all types
of situations.”
This year’s Children’s Health Night will be
held on Wednesday, August 5 at 7:05 p.m.
when the Tigers play the Baltimore Orioles.
Tickets are $22 each and may be purchased by
contacting Saudia Twine at (313) 993-8816
or [email protected].
Toys, games and books
T
By Rosemary Tokatlian
oys and games are essential to
providing children with a much
needed distraction while they
are in the hospital. They also
serve an important therapeutic function
by helping to make the hospital environment more normal.
You can help the patients at the Children’s
Hospital of Michigan throughout the year by
donating new toys, stuffed animals, books,
DVDs, games, and arts and craft supplies.
It’s important that these items are new to
protect the health of all patients. Latex-free
band-aids with child friendly patterns
are also needed. A wish list is available
on the hospital’s Web site by visiting
www.childrensdmc.org and clicking on
the pink “To Donate” button. Donations
may be delivered to the Development Office
at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan.

our commitment to supporting the mission of
the Children’s Hospital of Michigan and the
Children’s Hospital of Michigan Foundation is a
true gesture of community leadership that enables
the hospital to provide the highest quality care to thousands
of children each year. Philanthropy allows us to perform
cutting-edge research aimed at improving child health while
educating medical professionals in the art of caring for young
people. Your gifts are deeply appreciated and directly impact
the lives of children who benefit from pediatric focused
health programs.
Several endowments have been established for the benefit
of Children’s Hospital. Endowment funds are created with
a minimum gift of $50,000 and are acknowledged at the
giving level of the donor who initiated the fund or the value
of the principal of the fund, whichever is greater. A portion
of the earned income provides annual support for programs
and services vital to the patients in our care; the remaining
income is reinvested to build the principal, creating a lasting
legacy for the benefit of generations to come.
On behalf of our young patients, their families and our
medical staff, thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Hospital of Michigan Board of Trustees
We donate to Children’s Hospital for multiple reasons. First, we
believe that no region can achieve excellence without first-rate
health care facilities. Children’s health is paramount, as it helps
build the future of our community. Also, as the parents of two
young children, my wife, Jodi, and I feel very fortunate that their
childhood has included only routine illnesses. We want to help
situations when other parents – people just like us – need the
highest level of care to help their children become healthy.

Clinical Physical Therapy Specialist,
Children’s Hospital of Michigan
I give to Children’s Hospital to support my department so that the children
I treat can get better equipment and have adequate access to therapy. I
choose to donate to Children’s Hospital rather than other charities because
I am able to give from my vacation bank which I don’t typically use. I have
had a special connection with Children’s Hospital ever since I started as a
volunteer in 1994. I then worked as a student physical therapist and I now
have been employed by the hospital for 10 years as a physical therapist.

Staff Intensivist and Associate Director, PICU,
Children’s Hospital of Michigan
My wife, Laura Clark, M.D., and I support Children’s Hospital because
there is no other place around like it. It is the safety net for primary care for
thousands of children in and around Detroit. In addition, it is a source of
outstanding subspecialty care that benefits not only children and families in
this area, but regionally, nationally and internationally.
All of our pediatric training, including medical school clerkship, pediatric
residency and subspecialty training occurred at Children’s Hospital. We feel
fortunate to have the opportunity to train in and work at an institution that
focuses solely on taking the best care of children. We have only been parents
of a patient once, but it was enough to remind us how lucky we are both
personally and professionally to have Children’s Hospital as part of our
community. As child advocates and as parents, we feel it is important to
support Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
Children’s Hospital of Michigan childrensdmc.org 47
Advocacy
Dear Friends,
Children’s Hospital of Michigan was founded in 1886 by Dr. Charles Devendorf and
a group of prominent Detroit women in response to a little girl who died of diphtheria.
They provided the initial funds to begin this great institution that has helped so many
children live healthier and happier lives for 123 years.
Throughout our history, there has been one common denominator that has allowed
us to continue to offer the very best health care to the children of our community – our
caring donor family. Without donors like you, we would not be able to find cures for the
most complex of childhood diseases, develop pioneering new treatments, perform
lifesaving surgeries and provide compassionate family-centered care. It is through your
help that we are able to advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves.
Please accept my most sincere appreciation for your continued commitment and
dedication to the children of our community, state and world.
Sincerely,
John D. Baker, M.D.
Chairman of the Board
