Josh was cared for at Connecticut Children’s for an extremely rare form of staph infection. After spending six weeks at the Medical Center, he is now home with his family and continues to receive outpatient treatment from a multi-disciplinary team of caregivers at Connecticut Children’s. Right: Making sure that every child’s visit to Connecticut Children’s is a positive one is a personal commitment of every employee at the Medical Center. Above, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Wendy Warring, dressed as the Wizard of Oz’s Glinda the good witch, visits with Dantae Olabisi, 2, of Bristol, CT during this season’s Halloween celebration. If children were just little adults, it would be no problem to treat them at any hospital. But it’s not that simple. In fact, children’s medical and psychological needs are often more complicated. That’s why kids feel better – and heal better – at a place designed just for them. Connecticut Children’s is the only academic medical center in Connecticut exclusively dedicated to children. Whether we treat a child for a sprained ankle or complex reconstructive surgery, they are cared for by medical professionals who are trained in the latest techniques in pediatric medicine. It’s the kind of care you’ll only find in one place. 2009 Annual Report 1 We see kids differently. Letter from Martin J.

We never forget that a child who arrives at our hospital is already suffering and our primary objective is to ease that suffering without delay. The more comfortable we can make a child, the better the treatment will go, and the quicker the healing will be. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is fundamental to the long-term health and comfort of a child. For instance, says pediatric surgeon Mark Lee, “Numerous patients present at Connecticut Our diagnostics and treatments are Children’s with ostensibly ‘normal’ routinely modified for the individual hip x-rays.
