110 Years of Coordinated Care and Prevention Our Mission since 1899 is to heal, to discover, and to educate as a preeminent healthcare institution.
We serve by providing the best integrated and innovative care for patients and their families; by understanding and finding cures for the diseases we research; and by educating and training the next generation of healthcare professionals to be leaders in medicine and science.

Coordinated Care Finds Solutions for Lilac’s Asthma

In June 2009 National Jewish Health received the single a leading cause of missed school days and emergency largest gift in its 110-year history. Fantasy author David room visits among children, and kills thousands of Eddings, left one-third of his estate, approximately $10 people in the US each year. million, to National Jewish Health for the diagnosis and National Jewish Health is one of the leading centers for treatment of childhood asthma. research and treatment of pediatric and adult asthma.

8 9 Small Gifts Add Up The $10 million bequest from author David Eddings is worthy of great celebration. But the same reason that it is so outstanding — it has occurred only once in 110 years — also highlights the importance of the many individuals who year-in and year-out remember National Jewish Health in their estate plans In an average year, more than 150 individuals collectively leave National Jewish Health about the same amount as David Eddings did, $10 million. It would be impossible for National Jewish Health to continue providing the first-class treatment, research and education without their generous support. Top: Fantasy author David Eddings’ $10 million gift will go to the diagnosis and treatment of childhood asthma.

The condition was the food-allergy unit. “Maybe more importantly, they have rare and poorly understood.

National Jewish Health Reaches Out to the World The influence of National Jewish Health extends well beyond the borders of our country. Every year, dozens of faculty travel to foreign countries, sharing their expertise at medical conferences, providing care for the underserved, training physicians and more. Below are a few examples of faculty who have reached out to those in need around the world.

Together, they forged and are testing a hypothesis that Successful collaborations produce enough preliminary data systemic inflammation associated with obesity may to earn larger funding from outside institutions. impair macrophage’s ability to recycle dying cells in Cell suicide, obesity and asthma the airways, thus promoting more inflammation, airway Inside a single human, billions of cells can develop and hyperresponsiveness and asthma. Their research could die in a single day. In most cases, the dying cells are uncover the mechanism that connects asthma and obesity, efficiently absorbed and “recycled” by nearby cells. and suggest potential therapeutic strategies for preventing If those dying cells are not absorbed, however, they fall and fighting asthma among the overweight.
20 21 Where Does the Damage Begin in Emphysema? Conventional wisdom holds that cigarette smoke causes emphysema by attacking epithelial cells lining the air sacs in the lungs. This leads to tissue destruction, which is the hallmark of emphysema. But when Assistant Professor of Medicine William Janssen, MD, examined lung tissue from emphysema patients, he was struck by the complete absence of blood vessels in the damaged portions of the lungs.
So, when Assistant Professor of Pediatrics Aftab Ahmad, PhD, approached Dr. Janssen about a possible research collaboration, Janssen had an idea. The two researchers decided to see if the tissue damage in emphysema might originate in the blood vessels rather than the air sacs.
Using blood donated from Dr. Janssen’s emphysema patients, the two researchers are studying endothelial progenitor cells. In addition to maturing into endothelial cells, these cells also play a role in maintenance and growth of blood vessels. The researchers are studying if emphysema patients have fewer of these cells, if the cells are somehow less able to migrate to areas of vessel damage, and if they express genes associated with the growth of blood vessels. If their hypothesis is correct, it could lead to new targets for treatment and prevention of emphysema.
Above: Clinician Rand Sutherland, MD, and basic scientist Donna Bratton, MD, looked at the problem of obesity in asthma from very different perspectives, and came up with a new hypothesis they are now testing.
Right: Drs. Bratton and Sutherland believe scavenger cells in obese asthmatics fail to recognize the “eat me” signals displayed by dying cells (red, green and yellow at right), which leads to worsening inflammation and more severe asthma. Genes and Environment Interact to Shape Human Health

But May the discovery of a gene associated with familial in recent years, it has also become increasingly clear pulmonary fibrosis, MUC5AC and are pursuing this that genes are not enough.

Drs. Schwartz, Since then, Dr. Schwartz and Assistant Professor of Yang and Assistant Professor of Medicine Gregory Medicine Ivana Yang, PhD, have moved rapidly to hire Cosgrove, MD, are now pursuing this line of research staff, purchase equipment, obtain funding, and begin by closely studying asthma and epigenetic changes in scientific investigations. a group of well studied European individuals whose various dietary and environmental exposures have been “They have made phenomenal progress,” said Greg closely documented.

Due to the ongoing success of the Quitline programs, Health Initiatives revenues increased more than 40 percent. Research revenues increased 17 Sincerely, percent during the year. National Jewish Health was very successful in its pursuit of grant funding from the federal stimulus program. We have received grant awards totaling more than $10.2 million under this program. These awards will advance our research efforts over the next two years.
Thanks to our loyal donors from around the country, who Larry Silverstein continued to support us in spite of losses in their own Treasurer portfolios, Development raised $25.6 million. Included in this total is a very generous bequest from the estate of Mr. David Eddings, which totaled almost $10 million. Statement of Activities

36 37 Auxiliary Chapters
Everyday, somewhere in the United States, our auxilians do something to help National Jewish Health.
Over 500 individuals, belonging to 8 chapters in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland and New York, help raise funds and secure national recognition for National Jewish and its services. In 81 years of existence, the auxiliary chapters have not only raised more than $10 million for National Jewish Health, but also provided education and public relations to communities around the country.
If you or someone you know would like information on auxiliary chapters in your area, please call Terrie Baros, 1-800-423-8891, extension 1064. If there is not a chapter in your community, we would be delighted to work with you to establish an auxiliary group.
National Volunteer Board 2008 – 2009
An eight member board manages the auxiliary chapters. Its purpose is to render assistance to the chapters and to help establish and implement operating policies and procedures.
