Mission
Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota
champions the special health needs of children
and their families. We are committed to improving
children’s health by providing high-quality, familycentered pediatric services. We advance these efforts
through research and education.
Vision
Children’s will be a national leader in advancing
the health of children, innovating and delivering
family-centered care of exceptional quality.
Raymond L. Barton and Alan L. Goldbloom, MD
2011 was a year of change and challenges, but also a year of hope and opportunity at Children’s Hospitals
and Clinics of Minnesota. Fewer children in Minnesota were hospitalized for serious illness or injury than
any time in the past decade, which is good news. However, of the young people in the Twin Cities needing
hospitalization, a higher percentage than ever before chose Children’s. Even with current health care hurdles,
we continue to grow and be recognized as a leader in children’s care.
This year’s annual report shares the stories and highlights of our remarkable year, from expanded programs
and new construction to the little things that make a family’s health care experience unlike any other.
You’ll read about some of our new units and programs; the research and work we’re doing in the community
to advance kids’ health; St. Paul’s new emergency department, funded by a generous gift from the Peter
J. King Family Foundation; and our new neuroscience center and partnerships that are improving the
continuity of care across the region.
It’s no secret that health care is one of the most challenging, and exciting, places to work right now. As
federal and state resources continue to tighten, rest assured that the quality of care delivered at Children’s
continues to improve through your commitment. Your ongoing generosity will bring hope and healing to
thousands of children every year.
Will, 4-years-old, and a
former Children’s patient.

experience
The
little
&things
big
From surgeries big and small,
to cancer care and innovative
pain management techniques,
nobody treats kids like we do.
And it’s your generosity that
helps make it all possible.
1.
What sets Children’s of Minnesota apart from other
hospitals? In short, everything – from the cutting edge
surgery suites, to special pediatric pain protocols,
to the music and bubbles and popsicles that remind
our patients to be kids and provide much needed
distraction. Everything we are and everything we do is
100 percent kid-focused.
Suzanne Ullom of Bozeman, MT, knows all about the
big and little things that make Children’s different.
Her daughter Shelby was born at 23 weeks in a
hospital that wasn’t equipped to handle a seriously
premature baby. Her doctors recommended a
transfer to Children’s, and understandably, Suzanne
was anxious. But then her neonatologist told her,
“Children’s is the best there is. If Shelby were my
daughter, that’s where we would be.”
From the moment Shelby arrived at Children’s,
she was ushered into a world of care specifically
designed for kids. The Ullom family’s
experience at Children’s was so
profound that they sold their
home in Montana and moved
to Minneapolis, a distance
of almost 1,000 miles, so
Shelby could get the best
care and experience.
Two years later, Shelby’s
condition still requires
frequent visits to
Children’s. “Shelby likes
to do everything that
other kids her age like
to do,” says Suzanne.
“Children’s lets her be
just that…a kid.”
Suzanne Ullom shares a
tender moment with her
now two-year-old daughter
Shelby, who was born at just
23 weeks and cared for at
Children’s neonatal intensive
care unit.

3. Star Studio
CBS’s The Early Show learned about Children’s
Pets Assisting With Healing (PAWH) program
and spread the word about what a difference
these volunteers are making in the lives of
children and their families. Established in
2004, Children’s PAWH program now includes
more than 25 dog teams and two bunnies that
visit patients in the hospital and work with kids
during appointments. PAWH fulfills requests
across all Children’s campuses.
At Children’s, we take pride in offering a
patient experience unlike any other. That’s
why we use super-fast, needle-free numbing
agents before starting an IV. Or pull children
in a red wagon from one appointment to the
next. Or keep a ready supply of popsicles
on hand. It’s these little things that mean
so much to kids. After all, children are the
reason we’re here – and the reason you
support us so generously.
Three decades ago, Children’s Star Studio
began with a security camera, a puppet
and lots of creativity. Today, Star Studio has
evolved into our own in-house TV channel
that brightens the day for kids and makes a
difference in their experience at Children’s.
It’s all part of our belief that arts are integral
in a patient’s healing journey. And, one more
thing that sets us apart from other hospitals.
4. Emergency care
5. Child life
We know that kids experiencing a traumatic
event do better at a dedicated children’s
hospital. Thanks to community support,
trauma capabilities at Children’s have
dramatically increased. Pediatric emergency
medicine physicians plus new pediatric
orthopedic care coverage are available at
both designated Level III pediatric trauma
centers. In Minneapolis, a new helipad and
pediatric surgeon in house 24/7 provide
children more rapid access to critical care
and surgery. The best emergency care and
the best emergency experts – all dedicated
exclusively to kids.
No hospital stay is without its share of worry
and stress. That’s why Children’s certified
child life specialists are there for children –
and their families – throughout the hospital
stay. Their presence can help decrease the
anxiety kids may feel while in the hospital
or visiting the clinics, emergency rooms,
radiology or surgery areas. They play with
the patients, talk to their siblings and
answer questions. Quite often, they can
make the biggest impact on a family while
their child is in the hospital. And, this
program – 100 percent donor supported – is
only available thanks to your generosity.

programs & services
A new
collaboration
We understand that the needs of a child’s body often
make injury treatment more complex. In orthopedics,
for example, a fracture in a growing child’s bone needs
specialized attention.
A new collaboration with Gillette Children’s Specialty
Healthcare means that Children’s of Minnesota
patients now have access to the best pediatric
orthopedists in the region – within the walls of our
two hospitals. These fellowship-trained experts offer
round-the-clock emergency room coverage, weekday
inpatient consultations, and follow-up care. In most
cases, clinic appointments can be made the same day.
Health care is a constantly changing
field, with new and exciting
developments happening every
day. That’s why we at Children’s
continually expand our programs
and services to care for every child
who needs our help.
%
3
of U.S.
adolescents
are affected by an eating
disorder, but most do not
receive treatment for their
specific eating condition.*
Eating disorders can present a complicated array of physical and
emotional challenges. Simultaneously addressing these challenges with a
caring team of multi-disciplinary professionals is the best way to lead our
patients on the path to healthy choices. In 2011, Children’s launched the
Center for the Treatment of Eating Disorders to provide the first pediatric
hospital-based program of its kind in the Twin Cities. The center offers
immediate access to medical stabilization along with a cooperative focus on
family needs and referring physicians for continued treatment.
*According to an NIMH-funded study published online ahead of print March 7, 2011, in the
Archives of General Psychiatry.
This partnership allows each health care system to
benefit from the other’s expertise and resources.
While Children’s will focus on emergency care
and general orthopedics, Gillette will continue
to treat those with lifelong disabilities like
cerebral palsy and spina bifida as well as
conditions that affect the spine.
Patients like Zach – who came in
for an elbow injury – benefit from
the combined expertise that
Children’s physicians, including
Jamie Engels, MD, and Gillette
bring through the new
orthopedic partnership.
Children’s now has partnership
agreements with some of the finest
pediatric clinics in the area – Metro
Pediatrics, PACE Pediatric and Adolescent
Care of Minnesota, and Northeast
Pediatrics. There are also cooperative
agreements with regional hospitals to
provide services such as cancer and
blood disorder treatment at St. Cloud
Hospital and Hudson Hospital & Clinics.
This unique web of Children’s health
care providers and partnerships means
that families can receive seamless care
closer to home, minimizing the costs and
stresses of travel.
New concussion clinic
Neurosurgery program growth
Innovations in neurology and neurosurgery have greatly improved the quality
of life for children with neurological conditions, from concussions and epilepsy
to brain tumors. The addition of Joseph Petronio, MD, to the neurosurgery
department is one example of how Children’s is in constant pursuit of
improving programs to meet patient needs. Under his leadership, the
neurosurgery department is enhancing programs and expanding capabilities
to help more children than ever.
8
Care closer to home
Startling new research has drawn
attention to the dangers of concussion in
people of all ages, but especially those
in children. In 2011, Children’s created
its concussion clinic to address the
increased need for comprehensive medical
evaluation for concussion patients. The
clinic offers a full battery of tests and
provides individual treatment plans with
follow-up care and symptom management.
The demand has been so high, Children’s
hopes to grow the program through
additional donor support.

capital campaign
Thanks to
1.
gifts & grants
Your generosity is why Children’s
can offer the comprehensive services,
world-class facilities and a unique
healing environment that meets the
needs of our region’s young people.
Through recent and upcoming capital
projects, we are continuing to build
facilities that rightly match the level
of care we provide.
The neuroscience center will benefit
patients and families such as Lyla
and her parents Masud and Emily.
Diagnosed with a brain tumor at age
2, today Lyla is cancer free, following
treatment at Children’s of Minnesota.
10
Brain-related conditions are often the most complex
and frightening of patient diagnoses. Concussions,
epilepsy, brain tumors and other neurological
conditions can require a team of various medical
professionals, making treatment plans complex
and challenging for the whole family. The new
neuroscience center at Children’s – St. Paul, the only
one of its kind in the region, will provide a centralized
diagnosis and treatment hub to benefit everyone from
patient and parent to doctor and therapist.
The design of the neuroscience center includes
private patient rooms with additional space for family
members. Plus, new labs, play and relaxation areas,
and treatment rooms mean that one floor can meet
every need. Families will no longer have to shuttle
from one location to another to see various specialists.
Everyone they need to see will be readily accessible.
The neuroscience center shell is built, but needs
to be fully funded before work on the interior can
begin. It is our hope that the center and other
Children’s – St. Paul capital improvements can
be completed in 2012, but we need your help to
make it a reality.

1. New spaces in St. Paul
Children’s – St. Paul is experiencing a birth
of its own – there is new life in new spaces,
making the hospital an inviting place of
health and healing. With your support, we
have opened a new surgery center, new
Level II nursery, new pediatric intensive
care unit with all private patient rooms and
a newly expanded emergency department.
Gift opportunities are still available for the
beautiful and therapeutic rooftop garden,
designed to have flowers, walking paths
and play areas.
2. U
nveiling a new
emergency department
Children’s – St. Paul emergency department
has undergone new design and construction
thanks to a generous gift from the Peter J.
King Family Foundation, which supports
“bricks and mortar” improvements in areas
like youth education and health care. It
was a fitting endeavor for this foundation
to provide the funds for Children’s new
emergency department, which aims to
increase efficiency, decrease wait times,
enhance infection control, and create an
emergency experience that is as comforting
and supportive as possible.
3. Fill a Room with Care
Imagine if your child or a loved one needed
critical medical care. Chances are you
would prefer a quiet, private room where
your child and family could gather during
the healing process. Through Fill a Room
with Care, families and corporations are
paying it forward and helping underwrite the
expense of a private room and all it affords,
from greater conveniences for families
and increased infection control, to fewer
patient moves and greater access to special
equipment and medication. Just another
way that your generosity creates a unique
healing experience.
4. Every dollar counts
5. The Mother Baby Center
Last year, Children’s provided more than
$50 million of care not covered by insurance
or Medicaid. And that number will grow as
state and federal dollars for health care
continue to disappear. Children’s has been
and always will be committed to treating
every child who needs it. That’s why no gift
is too small, and why every dollar donated
truly matters.
With your support, we are partnering with
Allina Health to build the best place to
have a baby – and the best place to be
a baby. The Mother Baby Center, located
on Children’s – Minneapolis campus
and connected by skyway to Abbott
Northwestern Hospital, will integrate
Abbott Northwestern’s maternity and
newborn services with Children’s neonatal
intensive care unit.

research & recognition
Leading
National leaders High honors for a job well done
the way
While quality and safety are always
a top priority, we continue to apply
bedside learning to inspire new
and better ways of providing care.
That’s why we’re committed to
ambitious research and scientific
inquiry. This has brought Children’s
numerous awards and accolades,
but more importantly — it gives our
patients hope.
Cancer is one of the most terrifying words a parent
could ever hear. Even though it is the leading cause
of death by disease among children in the United
States, only three percent of federal cancer research
funding addresses cancers impacting kids. That’s why
private funding is so important to the many health
professionals who study childhood cancers.
In 2011, St. Baldrick’s Foundation gave a $330,000
grant to Kris Ann Schultz, MD, a Children’s pediatric
cancer specialist studying rare tumors found in
children and adolescents.
Because of the grant and funding from Hyundai Hope
on Wheels and Children’s annual Pine Tree Tennis
Classic, Dr. Schultz, along with colleagues from
Children’s National Medical Center and Dana Farber
Cancer Institute, established the International Ovarian
and Testicular Stromal Tumor (OTST) Registry – the
first registry of its kind.

Path to Excellence award
Consumer Reports
NRC Picker (NRCP), a division of
National Research Corporation,
selected Children’s Hospitals and
Clinics of Minnesota for its 2011
Path to Excellence award. One of
only three recipients in the country,
Children’s received this award
based on achievement within
categories identified by patients
as most important to the quality of
their care, like physical comfort,
emotional support and coordination
of care.
Children’s pediatric intensive care
units (PICU) received national
attention from an unusual source:
Consumer Reports. The magazine
gathered 2010 data and ranked
92 children’s hospitals across the
country on rates of bloodstream
infection. Children’s – St. Paul
PICU ranked in the very highest
category with zero infections.
Children’s – Minneapolis PICU
earned the second highest rating
having half as many bloodstream
infections as the national average.
This recognition highlights our
outstanding staff members and
their dedication to delivering the
highest quality care.
The OTST Registry allows for collecting clinical and
biological records and continued research focused
on rare tumors found in children and adolescents.
Forming a centralized database will help in
understanding the nature of the tumors and, in
turn, lead to increased survival rates.
Numerous awards
Children’s Anne Harris, (L) clinical
research coordinator, and Kris Ann
Schultz, MD, a pediatric cancer
specialist, helped establish the
International Ovarian and
Testicular Stromal Tumor
Registry – the first of
its kind.

Research and clinical
trials at a glance
Children’s clinical investigators
are searching for treatments, cures
and patient protocols that will help
pediatric patients here and around
the world. In 2011, we received more
than $12 million of generous support
from foundations, individuals and
other organizations that enabled us to
continue our research work. We boast
an impressive slate of 403 active
research and sponsored programs,
with 204 clinical trials and 70
additional peer-reviewed publications
in 2011 alone.
When we’re not providing advanced care to our patients, our doctors, nurses and support
personnel continue to learn and lead, garnering numerous awards for their work. Among them:
The Minnesota Chapter
of the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation honored John
McNamara, MD, medical
director of Children’s cystic
fibrosis program, with the
Angela Warner Friend
of The Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation Award.
Patsy Stinchfield, MS,
RN, CNP, director of
infectious disease services
at Children’s, earned
the American Nurses
Association (ANA)
Immunity Award, which
recognizes nurses’ roles
in increasing vaccination
rates and reducing
incidence of vaccinepreventable diseases.
Sharon Berry, PhD,
a Children’s clinical
psychologist specializing
in child and pediatric
services, received the
2011 Outstanding Service
Award from the Minnesota
Association for Children’s
Mental Health, for her work
in the children’s mental
health arena.
S tefan J. Friedrichsdorf,MD,
medical director of the
department of pain
medicine, palliative care
and integrative medicine
at Children’s, received a
2011 Cunniff-Dixon Award
for innovative symptom
management of pediatric
patients, compassion and
family-centered care.

community
A combined
effort
Children’s presence reaches
beyond our hospital walls. It’s felt
in the community through health
screenings, disaster response,
health education and counseling,
often benefiting families with few
resources. It’s this ripple effect of
your generosity that impacts our
entire region.
With the widespread use of the measles vaccine, this
painful and life-threatening disease is practically
eradicated – but not entirely. In the spring of 2011, a
reported case of measles in Hennepin County caused
an outbreak. Fortunately, Children’s was ready.
The first steps included tracing the child’s
whereabouts during the incubation period. Each
person risking exposure received detailed counseling
about how to minimize the spread of measles, and
which vaccine or preventive medication would be
right for them. Next, state and local authorities
worked closely with Children’s staff to establish triage
procedures and treatment protocols. In addition,
Children’s staff went out into the community to spread
the word about immunizations and dispel recent
myths about vaccine complications.
Children’s saw the vast majority of infected
patients, and hospitalized 13 of those with
complications. Through a combined effort, the
outbreak was contained and no lives were lost.
Even after the initial crisis was over, the Children’s
team continued to address the underlying
cause of the outbreak. By joining a Minnesota
Department of Health task force, Children’s
health professionals are helping to educate
the public on the importance and facts of
vaccination.
Three-year-old twins Madison and Mylee –
once preemies at Children’s – are all smiles
after recently receiving their vaccinations.

1. Easier access to
WIC services
The USDA’s Women, Infant and Children (WIC)
program was designed to help pregnant
women, babies and children under the age of
five get the nutrition they need. While most
WIC programs are housed in government
buildings, Children’s WIC clinic is located on
the Minneapolis hospital campus. WIC clients
can get the counseling, food and support
they need in the same place where they are
getting check-ups and treatment. Making WIC
services easily accessible ensures that help is
getting to the people who need it most.
2. Protecting kids at home
3. Making safe simple
Health care for children is about more
than just annual shots and treating sports
injuries. Sometimes it involves taking care of
emotional and physical damage from the one
place all kids should feel protected: inside
the home. The Midwest Children’s Resource
Center (MCRC) is called whenever a health
care staff member suspects child abuse.
Through careful analysis and treatment, a
specially trained staff of physicians, social
workers and nurses manage every case’s
unique needs. MCRC also conducts trainings
and outreach with law enforcement and
local government officials to ensure that the
public safety and health care community
is knowledgeable and educated on best
practices and treatments. Since more than
60 percent of these cases involve children
on Medicaid, donated funds help pay for the
critical services that can help these children
on the path to a better life.
Partnering with UnitedHealthcare, Children’s
is educating the broader community on
child safety and injury prevention. A host
of public service announcements, web
resources and participation in community
events are helping us get the word out
about “making safe simple.” The key to
this program’s effectiveness is clear, direct
messaging on things like car seats, helmet
safety, dangerous household situations and
ATV safety – in partnership with Polaris
Industries. Having a presence at events like
the Minnesota State Fair, and providing free
car seat clinics and ATV safety training,
helps us connect with people in a fun and
educational way.

Delivering Next
Generation Care
Campaign donors
Children’s vision is to provide the very best in pediatric health care for our
region’s children – today and into the future. The Delivering Next Generation
Care Campaign is helping us to realize that vision through spectacular campus
renovations and dynamic program expansions.
The overwhelming commitment and generosity of the donor community has
made these efforts possible, and for that we are truly grateful. We are pleased
to recognize the many philanthropic supporters who are helping us to deliver
next generation care. This list acknowledges campaign donors who have
pledged or made an outright gift of $10,000 or more from January 1, 2007
through December 31, 2011.
Theresa Pesch, RN
David Miller
It is time, once again, to reflect on the amazing developments at Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of
Minnesota. First and foremost, we must thank our generous donors who made 2011 a banner year in
Children’s history. You helped us raise $25.3 million in 2011 – quite a significant accomplishment.
Between health care reform and the economy, we’re ever reliant on the community’s support. We depend
upon your continuing generosity, which allows us to grow programs, build and expand essential units,
perform research, and improve our services – all which make a vital difference to our patients and
families. The truth is, without the generous support of our donors, Children’s, and ultimately our patients,
would suffer.
Fortunately, generous people like you continue to rise to the occasion and help us meet the needs
of our children, while continuing to make Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota the charity
of choice in our area.
Every day, we are reminded that when it comes to providing the very best for our children, there is no
finish line. As we look toward the rest of 2012, we have set ambitious goals, including funding The Mother
Baby Center and the neuroscience center. Your help in supporting Children’s and these programs ensures
that we will never turn away a child who needs us. That’s why we’re called Children’s.

The Children’s
Association — Minneapolis
Children’s Hospital
Association (CHA)
Continuing on its vision of providing well-funded
programs in the community to support the health care
needs of children and their families, Children’s Hospital
Association (CHA) contributed $700,000 to Children’s
in 2011. This included a $200,000 payment on CHA’s
$1 million capital campaign pledge to the hospital. CHA
also announced a capital campaign pledge of $500,000
for the rooftop healing garden in St. Paul that will begin
construction in 2012.
Through the dedicated work of its members, The
Children’s Association – Minneapolis gifted $345,704
to Children’s in 2011. Included in this donation figure
is the first of a $50,000-per-year, 10-year pledge to the
Star Studio. In August 2011, Children’s dedicated Star
Studio in honor of the Association. The Association also
allocated funds to the family resource center, child life
services, family needs funds, pain and palliative care and
the pediatric clinic.
“We are so proud of the hard work our members do
for the hospital and for the children and families it
serves,” says Carol Evans, president of the Association,
a fundraising and service organization to help support
projects and programs at Children’s of Minnesota. (The
Association’s 200 members are organized into
eight chapters.)
The Association sponsors a variety of fundraising events
including golf tournaments, luncheons, dinners, silent
auctions, plant sales, garage sales and more. Donations
are often made to the Association in honor or memory
of families and friends. All proceeds from the Storybook
Gift Shop, a volunteer staffed and operated shop located
at Children’s – Minneapolis, are donated to Children’s
through the Association.
In addition to its fundraising efforts, Association members
give of their time and talents to create many items for
Children’s patients and families including special sleepers
for the NICU, hats, booties, Wee Welcome kits, holiday
stockings, lactation bags, baptismal napkins and crossstitch kits. The Association also sponsors the Clothes
Closet that gives hospital staff access to new clothing
for patients in need and many chapters make and serve
meals at the Ronald McDonald House.
“We are continually driven by the
courage we see in these families when
their child is sick and we are dedicated
to doing what we can to help them
receive the very best care possible.”
“All of our members have a passion for helping children,”
says Sharyn Duce, president of CHA. “When we hear the
stories of hope and encouragement that our donations
make possible, we are energized to do more.”

board members and 375 members in 16 guilds, has
pledged more than $18 million, making it the largest
cumulative donor to Children’s Hospitals and Clinics
of Minnesota.
CHA’s dedicated volunteers give generously of their
time and talent to ensure the success of its events
and initiatives. Its signature annual fundraisers are
the Storyland Ball, held the last Saturday in October,
and Table Talk, held the first Wednesday of August. In
addition, each guild hosts various fundraisers throughout
the year, and, proceeds from the volunteer-run Peter
Pan Gift Shop also benefit the hospital.
