CHILDREN’S ADVISORY COUNCIL Executive Committee
Sarah Elizabeth Nash The Children’s Advisory Council of NewYork-Presbyterian Chair Hospital was established in 2004 to address priorities and Charlotte M. Ford objectives of the Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital and Stanley Jaffe Peter S. Kalikow the Komansky Center for Children’s Health. The Council is Phyllis Komansky chaired by Sarah Nash and includes NewYork-Presbyterian Ronay Menschel Tom Nides Hospital Trustees, representatives from both Universities, Daniel S. Och Nancy C. Paduano and friends of each site. The Council meets several times Heather Sargent a year with the President and Chief Executive Officer, Mark Schwarz Robert G. Scott Senior Vice President and COO for Women’s, Children’s & Patrick Whalen Community Health, the Chiefs of Pediatrics of NewYork- Full Committee Presbyterian/Columbia and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Zoe Cruz Arthur Samberg Cornell, and other faculty and administrators to discuss issues concerning children and their families.
The principal goals of the Children’s Advisory Council are: to develop leadership for personally contributing to and attracting private support for advancing the care of children; to raise visibility and communicate achievements to a broad external audience; to serve as a sounding board, advise on, advocate for, and participate in plans and programs; and to play a role in educating the public and our communities about the importance of the Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital and the Komansky Center for Children’s Health as a national resource that requires investment in order for children to grow up healthy.
In accordance with its mission, the Council will be focusing efforts in 2006 toward advocacy for children, specifically regarding health-care coverage in the wake of forecasted government reforms to Medicaid on both the national and local levels. The Council is also collaborating with the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI) to implement strategies for working with elected officials and other government candidates. Another area of focus for 2006 is to advance quality of care and patient safety, goals which the hospital has set forth as a priority.

BEATING THE ODDS Jordan Trimarchi
On January 18, 2005, Sadaf Trimarchi gave birth to a seemingly healthy baby boy. But just a few hours before they were to go home, doctors found a tumor growing into the wall of newborn Jordan’s heart. He would need a heart transplant to save his life, and he was transferred to Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of NewYork-Presbyterian. “You can’t even talk about odds, they were so stacked against him,” says Mrs. Trimarchi. At 1 week old, Jordan received his new heart. Says his father, Jeff, “Seeing his smile every day and watching him playing and doing everything a normal baby should be doing is nothing short of miraculous. Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital saved his life, no question about it.”

A HEARTFELT THANKS Bill Clinton
On Labor Day weekend 2004, former President Bill Clinton underwent quadruple coronary bypass surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian. It was the surgery heard ’round the world as the media focused on Mr. Clinton, his doctors, and the Hospital. “We are indebted to all the wonderful doctors, nurses, and staff who have been so helpful to us… We cannot thank them enough for their expert care,” said the Clinton family. This April, Mr. Clinton returned to the Hospital as Honorary Chair of the groundbreaking celebration for the new Vivian and Seymour Milstein Family Heart Center. “Maybe a place like this could only be in New York, a genuinely world city, with all the people, the problems that can be found anywhere in the globe,” said Mr. Clinton. “This is particularly important at a time when our country…is awash in an explosion of obesity…the complications of which include more heart problems…” As he took to the podium that day, Mr. Clinton smiled and said, “I confess I ate a bran muffin this morning, but it was low fat.”

Day-by-day, the staff of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital focus their attention on one goal—delivering the highest quality care and service to our patients. We are able to accomplish this goal because of 15,000 dedicated and hard-working employees, as well as the many friends and donors who believe in our mission and are generous with their time and their support. Each of these individuals contributes to our ability to provide the highest quality care and to preserving the special nature of NewYork-Presbyterian. We are pleased to share news of the past year—appointments of new physicians, highlights in nursing, clinical and community initiatives, and renovations and construction projects. These accomplishments fuel our continuing drive for excellence, and enable us to offer the very best care for all patients who come through our doors.
