— 1987-2012 — COMING TOGETHER for America’s

2011 Children Annual Report

Twenty-five years ago we saw the plight of homeless children in City who needed medical care but couldn’t get to a doctor, and we came together to find an innovative solution that would help children living in poverty not

only here, but all Along the way, thousands have joined us. Extraordinary health care professionals work with our affiliate institutions across the country. across the nation. Committed corporations and visionary foundations provide critical funding. Government leaders partner with us to tackle barriers to care. Citizen activists step up time and again to provide vital resources and to be the voice of children in need. Today, together, they are all the strength of Children’s Health Fund. In the following pages, we hope you see yourself among these individuals, joining in the spirit of contribution that brings hope, opportunity and promise to so many young lives. We are proud of what we have accomplished together, and grateful to you and the many others who have made the health and well-being of America’s children a priority. We appreciate that you share our determination to finish what we started. Every child in every neighborhood deserves access to a doctor and the comprehensive health care that will allow them to thrive. Because kids can’t wait. Their needs are now. Recently, when Hurricane Sandy left neighborhoods in ruins, the public saw just how difficult lives in the neediest communities can be. Just as we did in the Gulf after Katrina, we mobilized quickly in New York and New Jersey, providing urgent medical care. And we intend to remain on the scene for the long work of recovery. But the fact is, children all across the country struggle every day— with untreated asthma, with lack of proper nutrition and exercise, with emotional trauma. Without access to quality preventive and primary health care, the cards are stacked against these kids. So there is much more to be done. And we will be out there every day, working for a day when every child in America is healthy, ready to learn, and able to be a part of our nation’s vibrant future.

6 I DON’T GIVE UP on kids

Dr. Seth Ammerman MEDICAL DIRECTOR, SAN FRANCISCO The streets of San Francisco tell tough stories—especially for homeless teens. No one knows this better than Dr. Seth Ammerman, Medical Director of Children’s Health Fund’s project in San Francisco for 16 years. Every day Dr. Amermman sees teens who have suffered from abuse, neglect, poverty, and homelessness—and all of the physical and emotional health problems that accompany those conditions. Often the medical issues pile up, so by the time they walk up the stairs into the mobile clinic, these youths need help for numerous conditions. The Children’s Health Fund’s Medical Home Model is designed to meet these complex challenges by providing comprehensive and continuous medical care to young people in need. “Consistent care over time can really turn things around,” Dr. Ammerman says. “I’ve seen it over and over again.” Under his care—and that of his dedicated team of health care professionals—once hopeless young people get the chance to write bright new chapters in their lives.

Dr. Isabel Pino MEDICAL DIRECTOR, WEST VIRGINIA After 20 years bringing health care to children of rural West Virginia, Dr. Isabel Pino is a familiar sight to the kids—and their parents—when she rolls up in the mobile clinic. All week long Dr. Pino travels to hard-to-reach Appalachian communities, pulling into the parking lots of rural elementary and middle schools that host the mobile clinic on a regular schedule. She attributes the effectiveness of her work to that continuity of care. It is not unusual for the parents to be her former patients, so she is trusted and often knows the family health history of the children she treats. Without Dr. Pino and the mobile clinic, getting health care would mean a long trip for these families, and the price of gas is just too high for many of them to afford. So Dr. Pino does it all: physicals, lead screenings, developmental screening, and the ongoing management of chronic illness like asthma, which is highly prevalent in these communities. Dr. Pino provides care that these children can count on, so many kids in West Virginia can breathe easier.

We Dr. Alyson McCain NURTURE and Dr. Denise Sellers RECOVERY PSYCHOLOGISTS, BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA When Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the and growth entire Gulf Coast region, Children’s Health Fund sent mobile medical clinics from across the country to respond to the urgent health care needs of displaced residents there. But in impoverished areas that already had serious shortages of health care professionals, the crisis remained long after the water receded and rebuilding began. Alyson McCain and Denise Sellers—two psychologists with the Baton Rouge Children’s Health Project—quickly realized that the road to emotional recovery would be long and rocky. “A lot of people lost everything,” says Dr. McCain. “And kids experienced major trauma. Some had been stranded on bridges or roofs. Many witnessed dead bodies floating in the flood waters.” With families living in trailer parks and dispersed, parents were no longer a source of stability for their kids. Family structures had broken down and some kids began acting out their trauma with aggression, regression, and other unhealthy behaviors. When the trailer parks closed, the trauma was heightened by uncertainty. “Where do we go now?” the kids would ask their parents. “What are we going to do?” Ever since the tragedy, Dr. McCain and Dr. Sellers have been working with children and families in the Gulf to help them feel empowered and stable again. Every week, along with the mobile medical team, they go to schools in a mobile clinic specially designed for pediatric mental health evaluation and support. “Kids need safety and predictability,” says Dr. Sellers. “That gives the world meaning.” Dr. McCain knows that recovery takes time. But she and Dr. Sellers are in it for the long haul. “One child at a time.” The emergency relief efforts of Children’s Health Fund turned into a sustained commitment to the people of the Gulf. With support from philanthropists like the Irene W. and C.B. Pennington Foundation—and the dedication of caring professionals like Dr. McCain and Dr. Sellers—we can be there for these kids for the long term. I help kids FIND STRENGTH

Verizon Foundation is collaborating with Children’s Health Fund to invent the next generation of mobile health and push the boundaries of technology so that poor children can receive world-class care no matter where they live. This brand new initiative is getting underway with pilot projects across the Children’s Health Fund national network. In South Florida, a pilot telemedicine project connects patients on the mobile medical clinic to specialists located at University of Miami School of Medicine, helping doctors to instantly share information and speed diagnosis. In Detroit, the pilot is exploring how cell phones can become a tool to provide health education in everyday language that families can easily understand. The lessons learned through these and other pilot efforts will help Children’s Health Fund shape the future applications of mHealth and telehealth for disadvantaged children. By developing ways to harness the technology people have in We are their pockets, we are working to put access to good health in everyone’s hands. CONNECTING KIDS to health care

While directly serving some of the nation’s poorest children in New York City, our New York health care programs also have a national impact, providing a testing ground for innovative health care delivery for medically underserved populations. A major aspect of improving access to quality care nationwide comes through the Community Health Centers of Excellence Initiative, which has been supported by United Health Foundation since 2003. This funding expanded services as well as provided for evaluation conducted by George Washington University. The data has revealed that clinical quality measures at our New York programs consistently exceed national averages. This would be impressive for any health care effort, but it is even more so for a program that cares for people in a community with some of the highest rates of poverty and chronic health conditions. “Our programs are reducing health disparities in one of the nation’s poorest communities—the South Bronx,” says We Dr. Alan Shapiro, Senior Medical Director of Children’s Health Fund’s New York Flagship Programs. “With United Health Foun- SUPPORT dation’s support, we are improving quality and demonstrating QUALITY this impact again and again.” of care

Their whole life changes. Working in tandem with Children’s Health Fund mobile medical clinics, our growing fleet of mobile dental clinics park outside schools and homeless shelters in underserved areas. The critical first step is to put a child at ease with patience and gentleness. Because being in a dental chair can be a scary experience for a child, it is essential to build a relationship based on kindness and trust. “That takes time,” says Dr. Keyes, “so we don’t rush. I see kids arrive traumatized by dental phobia—often passed down from their parents. My goal is for them to leave with smiles on their faces. That is the best way to ensure that they will return for follow-up care.” The dentists also work closely with parents to teach them how to support their child’s oral health. “Many parents are poorly educated about what can damage their child’s teeth, like too much juice. We help them understand what they can be doing to support prevention,” says Dr. Kanitkar.

Legal matters, finances, qualifying for assistance, affordable housing, education—these and other issues involve a lot of red tape and take an emotional toll. To address that toll, Miss Yvonne brings these grandparents together in a monthly support group so that they can share their feelings and work on issues together. It’s all part of the family-centered approach of the Children’s Health Fund DC project, based at The Arc, where Ms. Yvonne helps grandparents work through necessary paperwork and find the strength to keep their family together. “We help the grand- parents be activists, and we advocate for them,” she says. “And sometimes they just need to vent.

Eileen Navarro CLINICAL SUPERVISOR, ORLANDO, FLORIDA “I love the mobile unit because it really hones in on the kids and families that need help the most,” says Eileen Navarro, the Orlando Children’s Health Project’s energetic nurse practitioner. But while she’s always on the move, it’s the kids that she really wants to point in the right direction. That’s why, after 15 years with the I program, she is focusing increasingly on health literacy. “If kids don’t have the proper education, they will stop help kids getting the care they need when they age out of the program. You want the kids to be able to navigate the MOVE system before they move on,” she says.

We see the faces of KIDS IN Donald Layton CEO, FREDDIE MAC, NEED INDIVIDUAL SUPPORTER In 2007, Donald Layton and his 13-year-old son visited the Harlem Children’s Health Project. “I learned of the Children’s Health Fund when researching a charity with my son, Ross, to support with part of his Bar Mitzvah gifts. That was over five years ago,” he says. Mr. Layton has made poverty a focus of his philanthropic efforts. After seeing Children’s Health Fund’s program first-hand, he made a major five-year commitment. “As I learned more about the mission and operations of Children’s Health Fund, I have personally made contributions over the years and decided to make a multi-year commitment because I know they truly help others.”

Barbara Nassberg INDIVIDUAL SUPPORTER In the days before the internet, Barbara Nassberg happened to hear her singing idol, Paul Simon, giving an interview about his new album. When he mentioned the work he was doing to help impoverished kids in New York City, she immediately called up Children’s Health Fund and got involved. “It really opened my eyes,” she says. “I had no idea how many kids were in need of care in our city alone.” As Children’s Health Fund has expanded across America, Mrs. Nassberg has contributed to its growth. “This is my way of having an impact on this country. Of course, I look forward to the day when Children’s Health Fund is no longer needed. But as long as one child in America needs access to medical care, I will be there to lend my support.”

Dr. Jonathan Melk MEDICAL DIRECTOR, SOUTHERN ARIZONA In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit hard. Dr. Randy Christensen, Medical Director of the Children’s Health Fund’s Project in Phoenix, asked an intrepid young doctor, Jonathan Melk, to join the caravan of care that Children’s Health Fund was mobilizing across its national network. This call came right as Dr. Melk was considering a job at the Chiricahua Community Health Center as the sole pediatrician for some of the poorest, most medically and socially challenged children living on the US/Mexico border. Joining Dr. Christensen as Children’s Health Fund provided care in the Gulf, Dr. Melk was formulating a plan. “I would go to Chiricahua and petition Children’s Health Fund to take us on. I wanted to build a true Medical Home for children in a place that had never seen anything like one before.” Chiricahua became the home of Children’s Health Fund’s 22nd project. “You cannot underestimate the importance of inspiration, the feeling of being connected to a wider network and not just being down here in these borderlands on my own,” he says. “None of it would be possible without Children’s Health Fund.” Home base for the mobile clinic is a new Pediatric Center of Excellence that Dr. Melk and his community have built in record I insist on time over the past few years. Now the children of Chiricahua have first-class pediatric services. BUILDING “It’s what they deserve,” says Dr. Melk. “It’s what EXCELLENCE all children deserve.” We INSPIRE the next generation

Steve Diaz MOBILE CLINIC DRIVER, NEW YORK CITY Steve Diaz keeps his hands on the wheel and his eyes on the road ahead. As the driver of Children’s Health Fund’s first mobile medical unit, he has kept health care for kids rolling for a quarter century. “I’ve been an eyewitness to the incredible care that homeless kids get on the mobile units,” he says. “The members of the medical team really take their time to make families feel comfortable and well taken care of. Over the years, I’ve seen thousands of kids come on board with health problems and then leave feeling better, not just physically but emotionally, too.” He is not what people usually think of as a health care professional, but Steve Diaz knows that he plays a vital role in giving kids in need access to quality care. And he has 25 years of experience to prove it. Mr. Diaz believes that everyone has a part to play I in getting kids the care they deserve. “I get the health care professionals to where they need to be.” See Steve Diaz in action in a video by WeTopia.
