Helping Children Thrive A New Professorship in Child Health and Well-being Honors an Extraordinary Legacy of Advocacy, Care, and Research

Deborah A. Frank, MD, BUSM professor of pediatrics, was installed as the first incumbent of a new chair in Child Health and Well-Being in the Department of Pediatrics on May 31. Generous donors, who wish to remain anonymous, established the endowed chair honoring Frank’s many years of service to impoverished children who suffer from hunger and hardship. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 17 million children in the United States lived in food- insecure households in 2009 (the most recent year for which data are available). In a 2010 report, the Feeding America/ Second Harvest emergency food network reported that 37 million Americans, including 14 million children, received food aid, a 46 percent increase over 2006. Compared to chil- dren who live in food-secure households, these children are at a much higher risk of poor health and hospitalization and are more likely to have developmental delays with long-term negative consequences for a healthy maturation.

The Freedom to Choose First Endowed Assistant Professorships Established in Department of Dermatology

When funding became available to endow a teaching position in the Department of Dermatology, Professor and Chair of Dermatology Rhoda Alani, MD, decided that supporting junior faculty was the high- est priority for the department and for BUSM. “Endowing any faculty position allows faculty to have the freedom to choose what they can pursue academically,” says Alani. “For the most part, senior academics already have that freedom, but few junior faculty have the resources or the protected time to cultivate creative and untested ideas early in their careers. Assistant pro- fessorships provide these opportunities.” Alani also stresses that having endowed positions is a tremendous incen- tive to attract new, gifted faculty to the institution: “Benefits accrue to students T.

According to Frank, without the Grow Clinic, many of these children would be hospitalized at great expense and many would relapse after dis- charge without specialized outpatient care. “Some might die of complications.
