At the Forefront of Change EVOLVING TO MEET OUR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE NEEDS

FY19 ANNUAL REPORT So every kid can. Dear Friends,

John D. Nash, FACHE President and CEO, Franciscan Children’s

For over 70 years, Franciscan Children’s has evolved to meet the greatest needs facing children and their families in the region. From our humble beginnings treating kids with polio who could not safely live at home, to our over two decade partnership with McLean Hospital that helps us serve an unprecedented number of children in need of inpatient mental health care, we continue to grow and proactively address the most pressing trends affecting children today. As one of only four organizations in the country that provides pediatric medical rehabilitation, mental health, and special educational services in-house, we are uniquely positioned to respond to the: • youth mental health crisis and the underlying causes of mental illness, • growing number of children born with medical complexity, who require long-term and specialized care in and out of the hospital, and • need to increase access to pediatric care that treats both the body and mind.

Thankfully, Franciscan Children’s is at the forefront of change and making a difference. Over the past year, our organization made proactive and crucial decisions about how to best serve the children and families who can only rely on us for their care. Franciscan Children’s made the difficult decision to close our outpatient pediatrics unit, given the changing primary care reimbursement landscape, and to strengthen the service lines that no other institution in the Northeast can provide. Now more than ever, we are poised to continue growing and help fill the gap in services our kids desperately need. As you will read in the following report, we have taken steps over the past year to expand our campus, programs, and reach, including the following initiatives. • The New Balance Foundation Park at Franciscan Children’s, one of the only fully-inclusive recreation areas in Massachusetts, opened in July 2019, and has already helped our patients and students grow stronger through the power of play.

• The Medical Bed Expansion Project, which opened in April 2020, allows us to immediately treat more patients with medical complexity who are currently on waitlists and in need of our medical and pulmonary rehabilitation.

• We are also laying the foundation to expand our inpatient, outpatient, school, and community-based mental health programs to serve more kids in settings that are convenient and conducive to healing. Thanks to the generosity of many individual, corporate, and foundation donors, Franciscan Children’s is able to remain flexible, respond to opportunities, invest in capital enhancements, and grow our most in- demand services. Providing our patients, students, and their families with the best care possible is at the heart of Franciscan Children’s. Our progress would not be possible without the inspiring individuals who place their trust in us each and every day. Thank you for believing in the possibilities, so every kid can. Sincerely,

John D. Nash, FACHE President and Chief Executive Officer

05 A Growing Population CHILDREN WITH MEDICAL COMPLEXITY

Dawayne, a former patient of Franciscan Children’s Pulmonary Rehabilitation Unit.

06 As the largest pediatric post-acute hospital in New England, Franciscan Children’s has led the way in caring for the most fragile babies, kids, and teens. Characterized as children with medical complexity (CMC), many of our young patients have multiple and chronic diagnoses, and often rely on sophisticated technology to survive and thrive. Today, they are one of the fastest growing pediatric populations — and few institutions are equipped to meet their healthcare needs.

07 Integrating Wellness INTO PEDIATRIC CARE

Reminiscing about childhood may spark memories of being outside, meeting new friends, and even playing the latest video game. The patients at Franciscan Children’s often require extensive inpatient care — away from their home, school, and community for weeks, months, or even years.

To ensure that our patients experience the joys of being a kid, even when in the hospital, Franciscan Children’s treats the entire child — body and mind. As part of a growing national trend in healthcare, we not only provide the medical and mental health services our kids need today, but also integrate wellness practices that are proven to support healthier futures.

08 This past year, we launched three new resources that encourage our kids to be kids as they grow stronger in our care.

09 Innovation THROUGH THE YEARS

The evolution of care at Franciscan Children’s has always mirrored the greatest needs of children in our region. We are proud to continually adapt our programs and specialties to provide the critical care that no one else can or will.

10 In the early 1950s, Franciscan Children’s was at the forefront of addressing one of the world’s largest epidemics — the polio virus. As more and more children experienced paralysis and lost the ability to breathe on their own, Franciscan Children’s, then the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Memorial Hospital, immediately responded. We cared for these young patients who required specialized equipment, like the iron lung, and also offered a second home able to meet their needs.

A Continued Commitment to Mental Health Sidney R. Baer, Jr. Foundation’s Lasting Legacy

Established 14 years ago, the Children’s Wellness Initiative (CWI) has firmly cemented itself as a driving force in increasing access to mental health treatment in Boston Public Schools. Currently in nine schools, Franciscan Children’s CWI program brings critical services directly into the classroom, erasing barriers to care that many children in the Boston area face. Thanks to a generous leadership gift from the Sidney R. Baer, Jr. Foundation, CWI moved forward with key program enhancements over the past year that allowed us to serve more children than ever before and continue making a tangible impact in the field of mental health. Part of the Sidney R. Baer, Jr. Foundation’s mission is to diminish isolation of those with mental illness, ensuring that no individual has to face any aspect of their disease alone. By bringing mental health care into our partner schools, we are able to involve parents, teachers, school staff, and peers, which greatly decreases stigma surrounding treatment. By integrating care into the school day, kids who may have felt isolated or ashamed to receive mental health counseling now see it as just another subject, fostering a sense of belonging that was once hard to come by.

“Mental health is seriously and chronically underfunded. I have to be sure that the extraordinary resources that Sidney contributed are allocated to programs that can do something innovative for patients and achieve results, and I know that Franciscan Children’s CWI program does just that.”

George B. Handran, Esq., Co-Trustee of the Sidney R. Baer, Jr. Foundation

By allowing children to become active participants in their own recovery and the recovery of others, our CWI program is helping kids build confidence, friendship, and life skills — all things that are critically important for children with mental health issues. We are incredibly grateful to the Sidney R. Baer, Jr. Foundation for their belief in the CWI program and their generosity in support of our growth.

Amelia Peabody Charitable Fund Helping More Kids Receive the Care They Need

As an organization dedicated to supporting underserved children and families, Franciscan Children’s has long been aware of the generosity, kindness, and philanthropic legacy of Amelia Peabody and the Amelia Peabody Charitable Fund. This past year, we began construction of four additional private patient rooms on our medical floors, and we were grateful that this project aligned with the Amelia Peabody Charitable Fund’s interests. The Fund’s deep roots in supporting medical projects that provide comprehensive care to the most vulnerable members of our community will have a direct and lasting impact on the children and families we treat each year. From our humble beginnings, Franciscan Children’s has always been dedicated to providing care for children that nobody else can or will. 70% of our medical inpatients are on Medicaid, and we anticipate this number will continue to grow as more children are born with complex medical conditions. While we are the largest solely post-acute rehabilitation facility in the Northeast, there are still children at acute hospitals in the area waiting for a bed to open up at Franciscan Children’s. Franciscan Children’s has seen a steady growth in referrals from Boston and Northeast-area hospitals over the past ten years as the demand for our services continues to increase. Our four new patient rooms will allow for smoother and quicker patient transitions from these hospitals, allowing children and families to continue the next steps in their care journey. We are immensely grateful for the Amelia Peabody Charitable Fund’s support of this vital expansion. Like the Amelia Peabody Charitable Fund, Franciscan Children’s has long been dedicated to supporting at-risk children and families, and through their generosity we will continue serving as a place of hope and healing for many years to come.
