Home care was the first in a list of firsts for St. Mary’s. Through our pioneering efforts, St. Mary’s was the first in New york to develop In recent years, we have seen an increasing need for the programs a certified Traumatic Brain Injury and Coma Recovery unit, a and services we provide.

But being first in itself is not enough. St. Mary’s prides itself on being the best. In addition to numerous awards and accolades, validation comes from the fact that many of our programs have been modeled by other organizations around the country, As you review this Annual Report, you will read the stories of four recognizing both the strength of our services and our exceptional of St. Mary’s children. Their journeys are full of emotion, challenge, staff. Our extraordinary team is bound in our common mission and triumph. But unlike me, they did not choose their path to St. to improve the health and quality of life for children with special Mary’s. Their course was steered by circumstance. My job, as well needs and their families. We are only limited by our own as those of all of us at St. Mary’s, is to walk beside them and help innovation and imagination. them thrive. Throughout the years, we have worked to continuously meet the My journey began when I first walked through the doors of current and emerging needs of our children and their families.

But times had changed. Regulatory agencies, the advent of Medicaid, and more complex medical needs put greater satellite locations, and academic affiliations are the results of our collaborative spirit. Our services are based on the concept of family-centered care, keeping the family involved in every aspect of their child’s care. demands on the Hospital. With generosity of spirit and a desire On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Healthcare System and to help, they handed me the reins and we embarked on a new Foundation, our staff, as well as the children and families of St. era for St. Mary’s Hospital for Children. Mary’s, I thank you for walking beside us and helping us thrive. St. Mary’s at that time was a diamond in the rough. There was abundant opportunity, but little in the way of vision, programming, or strategic planning. One of the biggest challenges in getting programs off the ground was that as a pediatric long-term care provider, we were ineligible for most programs simply because Burton Grebin, MD our patients were children. President and Chief Executive Officer In my first few years, I spent a great deal of time in Albany fighting to change that. St. Mary’s fought to include children in New york S T .

When she was introduced to St. Mary’s in 1992, Cindy immediately embraced our mission and graciously donned yet another. She joined the Board of Directors of The Friedman Rehabilitation Institute, which was later renamed St. Mary’s Rehabilitation Center for Children. Cindy put her passion and leadership skills to the task for the children and staff. In 2000 when St. Mary’s Healthcare System for Children was formed to unify our multi-faceted organization, Cindy gladly joined the new Board of the fledgling System. Cindy has been instrumental in building awareness of St. Mary’s in the business, political, and philanthropic communities. Her loyalty, talent, and generosity have earned her the respect and admiration of fellow Board members, staff, and friends of St. Mary’s. In 2004 Cindy was elected Chair of the Board of Directors of St. Mary’s Healthcare System for Children. S tephen B rent W ells , C hairman S T. M A R Y ’ S F O U N D AT I O N F O R C H I L D R E N STephen Brent Wells was a young lawyer at Cadwalader Wickersham and Taft when he was introduced to St. Mary’s in the mid 1970s. At the time, St. Mary’s was a small and very caring local facility that focused mostly on asthmatic children. The Sisters of St. Mary’s charged Steve with establishing a medical advisory board to affiliate with an acute care teaching hospital and to recruit the Hospital’s first medical director. The medical director selected was Burton Grebin, MD and the rest is history. But Steve’s history with St. Mary’s didn’t end there. For the past 35 years, Steve has been firmly committed to St. Mary’s total family approach to helping families and their children with special needs. He has continually strived to do all that he can to help each child realize his or her potential. Steve established the Amy Wells Unlimited Possibilities Fund in memory of his daughter to use recreational therapy to help achieve this goal for St. Mary’s children. He joined the Board of Directors of St. Mary’s more than 25 years ago, providing the personal perspective and extraordinary financial and legal talents to help the organization grow and thrive. In 2004 Steve was elected Chairman of St. Mary’s Foundation for Children; he continues to sit on the Board of Directors of the Healthcare System; and he regularly seeks to find ways to help St. Mary’s children unlock their unlimited possibilities. 2 | S T.

A perfect little boy— the first child in a perfect new family. All was well until little Shadat tried to cry for the first time. He turned blue. born with a congenital heart condition and paralyzed vocal cords, Shadat underwent surgery at just 11 days old to repair the tiny blood vessels from his heart to his lungs. At two months old, Shadat was brought to St. Mary’s Hospital for children with a tracheostomy in his throat to help him breathe and a feeding tube to help him eat. for baby Shadat, St. Mary’s has been a home away from home for the past year. His complex medical condition has required advanced pediatric care far more complicated than his loving parents can provide at home. While at St. Mary’s, he receives around-the-clock medical care to make his heart stronger and physical, occupational, and speech therapies to help him meet all of his early childhood milestones. ▼ ▼ 1873 1900 TWO HOUSES WERE RENTED ON WEST 34TH STREET AND A TRAINING SCHOOL FOR REGISTERED NURSES WAS OPENED.

St. Mary’s is one of the largest EI providers approved by New York State, with contracts in New York City, Nassau and Suffolk counties. We evaluate hundreds of children each year at the Hospital or at home. In 2006, we provided Early Intervention services to more than 1,700 children under the age of three. 6 | ▼ ▼ 1951 1960 ST.

When he’s not hugging his favorite barney stuffed animal, Shadat can be found playing in the physical therapy gym or clapping his hands when he is excited to see his family. Recently, little Shadat took his first steps, with his extended “family” of nurses, therapists, caregivers, and his parents proudly watching. Shadat’s parents are delighted with his progress and are grateful to the doctors, nurses and therapists for their guidance. baby Shadat will be leaving St. Mary’s soon, but his stay here has made a lasting impression on his family. His parents’ wish for his future is “for Shadat to become a doctor so that he can help others as he was helped at St. Mary’s.” ▼ ▼ 1975 1976 ST. MARY’S ASTHMA DIVISION WAS ESTABLISHED.

Performing this daily morning ritual might seem the norm for most five-year-olds, but for Max and his family, this is a major accomplishment. You see, for most of Max’s young life prior to coming to St. Mary’s, he relied on a feeding tube for nourishment. born prematurely at just 29 weeks, Max weighed less than three pounds. He spent the first three months of life in a neonatal intensive care unit where he was also treated for a life-threatening heart condition. Placed on a ventilator not once, but twice in his first year, Max’s tiny lungs sustained damage. There was concern he might permanently remain on a ventilator. Life for Max and his family was like a runaway train—never knowing what was around the next corner. Max’s parents watched as other families grew up around them while Max remained in the hospital. doctors were eventually able to stabilize his heart and lung condition, but new complications set in after he came home. Little Max lacked the ability to eat—a condition all too common in preemies—and required a feeding tube to receive nutrition. 8 | ▼ ▼ 1983 1984 ST.

The little food he could tolerate— yogurt, cheese puffs, and formula from a bottle—were rarely, if ever, kept down. Max’s parents aggressively searched for help for their young son. He had beaten the odds before and they were determined to do it again. He was admitted to St. Mary’s center for Pediatric feeding disorders, the first and only program of its kind in New York. Max was evaluated by an interdisciplinary team, including a gastrointestinal physician, nutritionist, psychologist, nurse practitioner, and a speech language pathologist. A plan was formulated and an intensive course of action was put in place. According to his mother, Max made more progress in his nine weeks in the feeding Program than he ▼ ▼ 1987 1987 ST.

And because St. Mary’s included her as part of the team, she was an active participant in his care and recovery. Today Max is an outgoing, charismatic, and resilient child who is growing by leaps and bounds. Now a preschooler in St. Mary’s institute for child development, Max continues to be monitored by the feeding Program to make sure he stays on track. While life may still not be “normal” at Max’s house, he’s come a long way from the days of ventilators, oxygen tanks, and extended hospital stays. As Max’s dad explains, “NicUs get the glory of saving lives, but places like St. Mary’s help put lives back together.” His parents are grateful for his progress and appreciate the little things in life. Little things like eating french toast for breakfast. ▼ ▼ 1993 1994 ST. MARY’S LONG TERM HOME HEALTH CARE PROGRAM OPENED AN ST.

Still, she lived life to its fullest in her native dominican Republic. That all changed when carla was nine and suffered her first stroke. A second stroke the next year left her unable to walk, use her right arm or say more than a few poorly pronounced words. carla was homebound in her small house, only going out when carried by her mother. Just before her 12th birthday, carla had yet another stroke. Her mother brought the family to the U.S., where she found help. carla underwent life-saving brain surgery and then intensive rehabilitation at St. Mary’s Traumatic brain injury Unit (Tbi). The Tbi team worked with carla to break her silence and resistance to move. communication was difficult at first, but collaboration among St. Mary’s specialists led to a medication intervention that accelerated her response to therapy. despite months of rehabilitation, carla wasn’t using her right arm outside of therapy.

St. Mary’s staff continually looked for new ways to motivate carla. They found the answer. Knowing her so well, the women who worked with her recognized that, like many 12-year-old girls, carla loved to go to the beauty salon. Now, carla earns “beauty bucks” for her progress in therapy, which she redeems for a visit to the local beauty parlor accompanied by her favorite nursing assistant. St. Mary’s Hospital for Children has an on-site New York City public school for children between the age of 5 -18. This enables our children to have a continuity of education while in the Hospital as well as when they transition back home. ▼ ▼ 1997 1997 ST.

She is speaking again in both English and Spanish, and using her right hand more often in daily activities. carla’s recovery also includes participation in social and educational activities, which were abruptly curtailed by her strokes. busy making up for lost time, she is making friends, attending on-campus public school and enjoying off-campus activities. No longer on the sidelines, carla can be found joining in the fun on St. Mary’s playground. And, thanks to “beauty bucks,” this delightful girl is working hard and looking her best. St. Mary’s Traumatic Brain Injury and Coma Recovery Program (TBI) is highly acclaimed for its leading-edge programs that treat children with cognitive and physical disabilities related to an injury to the brain—from accident, illness, infection, cancer, or stroke. St. Mary’s pioneered the first pediatric program of its kind in the New York metropolitan area. St. Mary’s TBI services can be provided to patients at the Hospital, at home, or through community-based services. ▼ ▼ 1997 1998 THE FRIEDMAN REHABILITATION INSTITUTE FOR CHILDREN WAS RENAMED TITLE I RYAN WHITE FUNDING ENABLED ST.

Young John Henry was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was shot in the head and rushed to an acute care hospital for extensive brain surgery. He lost his eye and was rendered partially paralyzed, a condition that was thought to be permanent. John Henry’s prognosis was grim. He was placed on a ventilator and put into a medically-induced coma to keep him from pulling out life-sustaining tubes and equipment. After two weeks in the hospital, it was still touch and go. His parents were told he would never be the same child again. That’s when John Henry came to St. Mary’s for intensive rehabilitation. His parents had never heard of St. Mary’s, but their trusted neurosurgeon at a renowned pediatric acute care hospital highly recommended the facility for its innovative techniques and excellent track record in treating children with brain injuries. ▼ 1998 18 | John H ▼ 2001 ST.

A highly skilled team of healthcare professionals met with his family to establish goals for his rehabilitation and recovery. Results came fast and within one week he moved his neck and started to speak. On his birthday two weeks later, John Henry lifted his leg for the first time. Each goal was met with positive results. Within a few more weeks, John Henry was able to sit up on his own and then walk with an assistive device. He used this opportunity to walk the halls of St. Mary’s with his therapists and nurses, getting to know the staff and patients and giving everything he saw a unique John Henry nickname. His progress was remarkable. Physical therapy (PT), or as John Henry would jokingly say, “pain and torture,” along with other therapies at St. Mary’s, was significantly changing the bleak future that had been predicted. After five months of aggressive physical, occupational, speech, and behavioral therapies, John Henry achieved his family’s ultimate goal. He walked out of St. Mary’s on his own. “They work miracles,” exclaimed John Henry’s mother of his rehabilitation. ▼ ▼ 2004 2004 ST. MARY’S RESEARCH INSTITUTE WAS ESTABLISHED. ST.

The impact of his injuries had taken its toll on the family. Weeks and months of fear and anxieties, of progress and set backs, had put their life in turmoil. St. Mary’s family-centered approach to care treated the whole family, not just John Henry. Mom and dad were counseled on how to cope and adjust to each new situation. They were helped to understand that things were going to get better. “We were falling apart and they gave us our life back,” credits John Henry’s mother. Today, John Henry is back home and attending school. While much has changed for this brave young man, he still enjoys playing with his cousin, video games, and just goofing around. John Henry continues to receive ongoing therapies at home through St. Mary’s Home care program. ST.
