A s a pediatric surgeon, I can assure you there is no greater satisfaction than giving a child a renewed chance at a healthy life. The Pediatric Transplant Center at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles is doing just that on a daily basis, with our growing leadership in solid organ transplantation. In this issue of Imagine, you will read about our programs in liver, small bowel, kidney, heart and lung transplantation — including some of the country’s highest pediatric patient survival rates. You also will read about the hospital’s successful programs in cornea transplan- tation and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Transplantation is a lifelong commitment to the patient on the part of an institution. It requires the dedication of tremendous resources, including an expert medical team with surgeons, physicians, coordinators, nurses, social workers, nutritionists, pharmacists and rehabilitation specialists. It is our goal to have the premier program in pediatric transplantation in the United States. We will get there by continuing to focus on excellence. We will get there hand-in-hand with inspired philanthropic partners who want to help children live rewarding lives. Please join us in this noble endeavor. •

outstanding transplant history

For more than four decades, Childrens Hospital Los Angeles has been a force in pediatric transplantation. 1967 In 1967, surgeons performed the hospital’s first kidney transplant — and that organ recipient is still thriv- ing.

The goal: to better enable its expert transplant teams to share knowledge and resources on behalf of children who desperately need care.

Private rooms enhance comfort and safety

Nearly all patient rooms in the 317-bed New Hospital Building now under construction will be private rooms — a reflection of the hospital’s commitment to patient safety and family-centered care. The added privacy will make family visits more enjoyable and aid in all-important infection control. Private rooms also decrease the need to transfer patients to accommodate special needs, giving children a better 2010 chance to recover from serious illness.

Family accommodations: easier overnight stays

In the New Hospital Building, patient rooms have been designed to accommodate families. Comfortable daybeds, complete with a privacy curtain, will make staying overnight or taking a quick nap more feasible for parents. Other homelike features include a desk, a private shower, bathroom facilities and 2010 storage space. Family members with laptops will be able to access the Internet from their child’s room.

precious ramirez [dancer]

For Precious Ramirez, the stage is like a second home. The exuberant seven- year-old dazzles audiences with her tapping heels, contagious smile and color- ful costumes. “I love to dance,” she says. With her folkloric dance team of 14 other girls, she performs traditional Mexican dances at local parades, school assemblies and dance competitions. When not in front of a large audience, she enjoys soccer and putting on a show for her family with her impersonation of singer Miley Cyrus. Her poise is evident, especially when someone asks her why her eyes look different from one another. She simply replies that she has “a special eye.” Precious was born with Peter’s Anomaly, a rare congenital disorder in which the cornea of the eye may be scarred, and cataracts and glaucoma can develop. When she was one week old, she received a corneal transplant on her right eye, thanks to Jonathan Song, MD, director of the Cornea Institute in The Vision Center of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, and assistant professor of clinical ophthalmology and pediatrics at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. “I told Dr. Song, ‘My little girl’s vision is in your hands,’” recalls Angie Perez, Precious’ mom. “We are so grateful.” In turn, Dr. Song — whom Precious looks forward to visiting — is pleased his young patient is thriving. “Our goal was for Precious to be able to use both of her eyes. To see how well she’s doing is just wonderful.” •
