At the same time our operations flourished. Clinical revenues grew by almost 24 percent. Our research endeavors continued to grow in spite of flat NIH budgets. Fundraising efforts continued to bear significant fruit, even in this time of economic uncertainty. You can find details of our financial performance on page 58. We are not immune, however, to the prevailing economic winds, as evidenced by the recent decline in value of our investments.

Our current brand is good. We aspire to make it great, a Our Brand Promise national brand that is aligned with our strategic objectives. A brand promise is the articulation of the benefits that we Our name, our brand promise and our logo are three will deliver every time someone comes into contact with our of the most visible embodiments of our new brand. brand. It’s the one central idea that guides our organization. When we started to develop a brand promise, it made sense Our Name to start with science — National Jewish Health has a strong We have changed our name several times in our research and discovery-driven culture.

It’s about science being leveraged to change lives.

6 – 5 2008 Annual Report Our Logo Every element of our new logo was carefully and Science methodically chosen for a specific reason — to trigger a unique and differentiated identification of National Jewish Health. The blue line swirls into one side of a helix shape, to convey our scientific excellence, and also creates part of a healthy human being. Cool blue is the color of stability, credibility and clinical excellence. Orange, a new warm color for us, is taken from the color of fire — representing the flame of knowledge, teaching and learning, and its transformative power. The orange counter-swirl crosses the blue, completing Transforming a stylized helix shape and forming the rest of the body of a human figure. Together, the intertwined blue and orange strokes also subtly convey the multi- disciplinary and collaborative culture we are building. The final stroke of our new logo is the blue head of the person. It completes the logo as a symbol of the human lives that we seek to improve. You’ll notice that the human figure is not standing still, but leaning or moving forward in a healthy, dynamic way, evoking the image of an athlete winning a race, which alludes to our vision Life to win the race for new cures and better health. With a new vision and a new brand, we move forward proudly and confidently. We hope this new excitement will be embraced by all who visit, support, and work with us at National Jewish Health.

Dr. Torres identified several different molecules that trigger the marginal zone B cell’s rapid response. He also found that these B cells produce an antibody that is particularly effective against bacterial and viral infections. Because these antibodies also have other characteristics similar to those produced by the long-lived HIV patients, Dr. Torres believes marginal zone B cells may be the ones mounting an effective defense against HIV. He has recently received a grant from the National Institutes of Health to test that hypothesis. If it proves true, Dr. Torres’s discovery of molecules that stimulate those B cells may prove helpful in developing a successful HIV vaccine.

Genetic Counselor Answers Difficult Questions Janet Talbert helps patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

It can be difficult enough to have a fatal disease such genetic counselor knowledgeable about IPF, as the point as idiopathic pulmonary disease (IPF). But imagine the person to answer questions and provide education. questions that would arise if you learned that you also Most callers fall into one of two main groups. They are have one of the two genes associated with an inherited either people with IPF who wonder if they have passed the form of the disease. Have you passed that gene onto gene onto their children or they are the children of patients your children? Will they get the disease? Should they with IPF who wonder if they carry the gene and will get have children? the disease. These are some of the important and challenging questions “These people are grappling with very important decisions,” that National Jewish Health genetic counselor Janet said Talbert. “I try to explain exactly what positive and Talbert hears every day as she answers the phone calls negative test results mean.” that come into the first genetic counseling program for families affected by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. For instance, if you have the gene, you have only a 50- 50 chance of passing it on to each of your children. If a “People hear about a gene associated with idiopathic child does inherit the gene from a parent, there are no pulmonary fibrosis and they get very worried that they or guarantees the child will develop the disease. Scientists their children are doomed,” said Talbert. “Genetic testing, believe several genes are involved in IPF. So, even if you do however, rarely offers a clear, black-and-white answer.” not have the gene, but have two or more family members The genetic counseling program arose out of discoveries with IPF, you may still face an increased risk of developing reported in 2007 of two genes associated with the familial the disease.

A growing awareness of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis women. Between 1993 and 2002 the death rates increased (IPF) has fueled a surge in research to understand 28 percent among men and 41 percent among women to and treat this fatal and incurable lung disease. A an overall rate of 50.8 per 1,000,000 people, or about 15,000 decade ago, National Jewish Health, one of the people per year in the US. Men, however, still suffer the leading IPF treatment and research centers, was disease more often. participating in one research study aimed at treating National Jewish Health is part of the NIH-sponsored the disease. Today, there are eight ongoing IPF IPF Clinical Research Network, which is currently studies with several others recently completed. conducting two studies of medications (sildenafil and IPF is an uncontrolled and progressive scarring of lung N-acetylcysteine) to treat IPF. Pharmaceutical companies tissue, leading to a nagging, dry cough, and shortness of Novartis and Gilead are also sponsoring trials of two breath.

Dr. Brown added to that growing awareness in late 2007 “In the past decade we have begun to make progress when he and his colleagues published research indicating at understanding the disease and identifying potential that deaths from IPF are on the rise, especially among therapeutic targets,” said Dr. Brown. “We need, however, to redouble our efforts against this devastating disease.”

Increased awareness that idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is more common than previously believed, and becoming even more common, has spurred a surge in research into the incurable and fatal lung disease. Kevin Brown, MD, leads the pulmonary fibrosis program at National Jewish Health. Genetic counselor Janet Talbert operates the nation’s only genetic counseling program for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Generous Donations

Everyday, somewhere in the United States, our auxilians do something to help National Jewish Health. Over 1,000 individuals, belonging to 18 chapters in 7 states, help raise funds and secure national recognition and public awareness for National Jewish Health and its services. These individuals generously give their time, talents and resources to help others they will never know. Some join because they have been helped personally by National Jewish Health. Some participate because a member of their family suffers from chronic illness. Others participate for the joy of it. Although they come from all walks of life and represent diverse religious beliefs, our auxilians have one common goal — to ensure that the expertise of National Jewish Health is made available to all who suffer and seek its help. Over the 80 plus years the auxiliary chapters have been in existence, they have not only served as fundraisers, but have provided education and public relations to communities around the country. Because our auxilians believe so strongly in our mission, many include personal gifts through bequests and trusts. Our chapters would love to have you and others you know join them as members or participate in their special events. Also if there is not a chapter in your community, we would be delighted to work with you in establishing an auxiliary group. 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.
