New Website The Rodman Ride for Kids 1 Letter from the President Dear Friends, To fulfill Boston Medical Center’s mission of exceptional care, without exception, our entire hospital community—caregivers and administrative staff alike—often extend themselves beyond their job descriptions to become confidants, advocates and pioneers for the patients we serve. Behind each story in this issue you will find a team of people that went above and beyond to ensure that the exceptional care that BMC promised was delivered. These extraordinary measures taken by our extraordinary hospital community can manifest in a multitude of ways, but each example is uniquely inspiring: The collaboration and vigilance of our NICU team that gave a gravely-ill newborn a hopeful future (Page 1); a duo of thoracic surgeons who are pioneering robotic therapies to provide more life-saving options to lung cancer patients in New England (Page 2); and the outreach and coordination of our cancer care team to provide free cancer screenings and empower our Boston area residents to take charge of their health (Page 6). As you flip through the pages of this issue, you will also discover that our dedicated hospital community extends far beyond our South End campus. The many donors, corporations and foundations, who determinedly and passionately support our mission are our greatest champions. Read how one family came to their decision to support BMC’s Autism Clinic (Page 6) and review the hundreds of BMC supporters in our FY 2010 Donor Report (Pages 9–15). Thanks to our donors’ incredible contributions, BMC can write patient prescriptions to our onsite food pantry, provide legal advocacy to the underserved and even offer a ride to the hospital for those who would otherwise go without medical care. I extend my deepest gratitude to the extraordinary community of people that breathes life into BMC’s mission every day. Our unique model of care would not be possible without your passion, teamwork and continued support. Thank you. Sincerely, Kathleen E. Walsh President & CEO Boston Medical Center BMC First in New England for Pioneering Lung Cancer Surgery A new minimally invasive robotic procedure provides an alternative to some lung cancer patients, who are not candidates for traditional surgery. dard operations for lung cancer. BMC is the first hospital in New England to perform robotic operations for thoracic diseases such as lung cancer. the complex movement of the hand and wrist. Additionally, these movements occur directly inside the chest cavity rather than at the ribs.” Although surgeons have been performing lung cancer resections using video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for more than a decade, using a robot for the procedure is a relatively new development. During the procedure, surgeons use a computer-controlled device that moves, positions and manipulates surgical tools based on his or her movements. The computer console provides a three-dimensional view of the patient’s chest that is magnified 10 times greater than normal vision. The surgeon’s hands control the robotic arms to perform the procedure. The robotic approach minimizes pressure on the nerves that run along each rib and may result in decreased post-operative pain. “Traditional video-assisted thoracic surgery instruments allow only up and down movements and some limited oston Medical Center’s thoracic rotation,” explains Michael Ebright, surgeons are now offering MD, co-director of BMC’s Lung patients a new minimally invasive Cancer Cyberknife Program and an procedure for lung cancer.

At BMC, 55% of our patients are minorities, so we are in a unique position to broaden the spectrum of specimens that are currently available for research,” said Daniel Remick, MD, chief of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at BMC. Collection and organization of such a comprehensive library of specimens requires hospital-wide coordination. According to NCI, the lack of standardized, high-quality biospecimens has been recognized as a significant roadblock to the progress of cancer research. BMC has been chosen by NCI as a pilot site to collect and store biospecimens based on best practices. B oston Medical Center, in partnership with Boston University School of Medicine, is pioneering a new initiative as part of the hospital’s Biospecimen Archive Research Core, an extensive library of patient specimens collected and housed at the hospital. BMC was recently selected by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to be one of eight pilot sites across the country to archive tissue samples based on NCI’s new guidelines for collection and storage. This initiative promises to promote and facilitate cancer research nationwide. Researchers rely heavily on blood and tissue samples from cancer patients to further their studies and, although biospecimen banks exist across the country, many harbor specimens that have not been properly collected, prepared and stored for research. The goal of NCI’s new pilot project is not only to provide researchers with pristine, high-quality study samples but also to provide additional access to patient information. With full, informed patient consent, researchers will have access to patient biospecimens, histories, radiology studies and additional treatment information, providing a full picture of an individual’s disease. BMC’s standing as a leading academic medical center and New England’s largest safety-net hospital puts the institution in a unique position to expand genomic cancer research. “The bulk of study specimens available today are from Caucasian “Becoming an NCI pilot site takes advantage of our Cancer Care Center’s newly enhanced operational structure, where there is intense focus on integration, communication and collaboration between our medical, surgical and radiation oncology specialties,” said Chris Andry, MPhil, PhD, executive director of Cancer Care Services at BMC and principal investigator for the pilot study. “Without the incredible support and strong collaboration of our clinical, technical and administrative colleagues across campus, putting the program together would not have been possible,” Dr. Andry added. BMC’s Biospecimen Archive Research Core currently houses 2,000 specimens that are available to qualified researchers. BMC’s Cancer Care Center is among the best, most advanced and most integrated cancer care facilities in all of New England. The center provides individuals with a collaborative, personalized care plan that includes advanced diagnostics, sophisticated treatment options, clinical research protocols, individual and family counseling, patient navigation, nutrition, social services and other support services.

As Serena’s father Joseph L’Herrison recounts, physicians were glancing at the clock to pronounce her time of death, when a nurse called out that she felt a faint pulse in the baby’s foot. Seventeen minutes after her birth, Serena’s heart began beating. BMC’s NICU team knew that only extraordinary measures could save Serena from a lifetime of disability due to the oxygen deprivation that her brain had suffered. The NICU team decided to initiate a Cool Cap protocol, placing a cap-like device on Serena’s head that would rapidly cool her oxygen-deprived brain using flowing water for three days. GRANT HIGHLIGHTS BMC to Lead New NTI Pilot Study Suresh Agarwal, MD, the chief of surgical critical care at Boston Medical Center and an associate professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine, has received a $295,172 grant from the National Trauma Institute (NTI) to identify optimal treatment methods for acute lung injury. BMC will lead the multi-institutional trial, which involves seven Level I trauma centers and includes one military hospital. Dr. Agarwal will study two ventilation therapies that may influence acute lung injury, a significant health care burden for both military and civilian populations that accounts for more than 75,000 deaths annually. Mechanical ventilation techniques remain the only accepted treatment therapy for patients with severe injuries, but these are also associated with segmental lung collapse, increased time on a ventilator and increased incidence of pneumonia. 4 | INSPIRE Baby Serena suffered from multisystem organ failure as a result of oxygen depravation at birth. Nursing her back to health required the diligence and expertise of BMC physicians from many different specialties. “Cooling the brain helps prevent the spread of cell death by slowing a series of biochemical processes that take place following the initial trauma,” explained Alan Fujii, MD, medical director of the NICU. “For “Our long-term goal is to improve the health outcomes of patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome and gain a better understanding of its pathogenesis, prevention and treatment,” said Dr. Agarwal. Covidien Supports BMC’s Birth Sisters The Birth Sisters Program, a network of community women trained to support at-risk expectant mothers and their infants, recently received some special support of their own through a $60,000 grant from Covidien. The global health products leader provided the funds as part of their Partnership for Neighborhood Wellness program. This generous contribution will be used to provide Birth Sisters to 90 mothers and their babies, helping women to adhere to prenatal and postpartum care, improve breastfeeding rates and secure additional social services for their families, as needed. babies facing a very uncertain future, we have seen amazing success using this new technology.” “The Cool Cap is one of the special miracle medical ‘cures’ I have seen Klarman Family Foundation and Jane’s Trust Raise the Bar for Health The Medical-Legal Partnership Boston (MLP | Boston) received $220,000 from the Klarman Family Foundation to help support program staff who administer legal services to vulnerable families across Greater Boston. The foundation has supported MLP | Boston for several years, but this most recent award helped secure additional challenge grant funding for the initiative from Jane’s Trust. The $100,000 challenge grant from Jane’s Trust provided a one-to-one match for funds raised in 2010. The goal of the support is to allow MLP | Boston to expand its capacity and achieve sustainability. Boston’s Most Fragile Children Receive Support from Morgan Stanley Foundation Many of the city’s children who are at risk of developmental delays due in my 40 year career,” added Barry Zuckerman, MD, chair of BMC’s Pediatrics Department. Babies born with moderate to severe oxygen deprivation to the brain can suffer from brain damage, including seizures, developmental disabilities and cerebral palsy. Beyond the concern for her brain, Serena remained in critical condition. She was suffering from multisystem organ failure and seizures and required a huge amount of support and attention from BMC’s pediatric specialists. Her heart, like many of her other organs was severely damaged. “At the very beginning we were really not sure if she was going to make it. We were very worried about her. So we did everything we could possibly think of to improve her chances,” explained Elizabeth Yellen, MD, attending physician in BMC’s to a difficult birth or malnutrition rely on specialized BMC programs to help them thrive. The Morgan Stanley Foundation is providing much-needed support for two such programs through a recent grant of $150,000. Through this grant, Morgan Stanley’s support for the Grow Clinic for Children’s new satellite Brockton location will help hundreds of families in Southeastern Massachusetts who struggled to bring at-risk children to Boston for treatment for failure to thrive. Without this clinic, many malnourished children would never receive urgently needed multidisciplinary services, since the cost and logistics of frequent visits to Boston for care would exclude many families in great need. The foundation’s support to BMC’s Baby Steps Program for Healthy Infant Development provides evaluation and therapy for infants released from BMC’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, who are at high risk of having future developmental, growth, failure to thrive and other health problems. Pediatric Cardiology Department. Continued from cover page After many weeks of painstaking care in the NICU, quite amazingly, Serena began to get better. Her organs slowly recovered, her heart function improved and her seizures were controlled. After months of recovery and a guarded prognosis, today, Serena is by all accounts a normal, healthy toddler. New Shapiro Center Opens at BOSTON MEDICAL CENTER “Serena came in just a little after a year of age and she was running up and down the halls, she was babbling, and you could look in her eyes and know there is somebody home. It is really quite exciting,” exclaimed Dr. Fujii. Serena will continue to require follow up care from BMC staff to track her development and any health issues that arise as a result of her traumatic birth. Although most parents would deem their babies miracles, Serena’s parents have special reason to believe that their daughter is a gift from God, but they also don’t discount the role of BMC’s devoted doctors and nurses. “The medical staff was very, very wonderful. I love them. I love them very much,” said Joseph. n Extraordinary Measures Video View a video of Serena’s story and three other inspiring patient stories by scanning this QR code with your smart phone device. BMC has experienced a 30 percent growth in outpatient volume since 2004. The new building, which was approved by the BMC Board of Trustees in 2006, replaces the smaller, 43-year-old Doctors Office Building, which would have cost $80 million to renovate without yielding needed additional patient care capacity. The Shapiro Center allows for the substantial consolidation of BMC’s outpatient services at its Albany Street location and also helps launch a final phase of clinical service consolidation in the Yawkey Ambulatory Care Center and the Preston Family Building. “The Shapiro Center replaces an outdated facility that doesn’t serve our patients’ needs well. Ambulatory care is a key and increasingly important component of the services BMC provides. This new facility allows us to operate more efficiently, is integral to the medical center’s future, and, most important, is a wonderful environment in which to give—and receive—exceptional care, without exception,” said BMC President and CEO Kate Walsh. The 250,000 square-foot building, which is the size of 4.5 football fields, was designed by Tsoi/ Kobus & Associates. It sets a new standard for sustainable design with energy-efficient and water-conserving features for mechanical, electrical and architectural systems. The building is registered as a pilot project with the Green Guide for Healthcare, with a targeted U.S. Green Building Council LEED silver rating equivalent. n 5 Goodman Family Gift Helps Fill Void for Kids with Autism W hen it came time to decide on giving a charitable gift, the Goodman Family—Penny, Larry and their two children Jon and Jeff— believed no place was more deserving than Boston Medical Center. “I was introduced to BMC through a friend, and she brought me to a Friends of Women’s Health meeting. I was just amazed to learn about the work being done here. I grew up in the Boston area, and I didn’t realize what BMC had become,” recounted Penny. Her husband Larry was equally enthralled with BMC’s mission after taking a campus tour and felt the family could help support the hospital’s critical work during a difficult economic climate. Penny and Larry, who both passionately believe in giving back to the community, used the opportunity to do so as a teaching moment for their children. When it came time to decide on how best to support BMC through a generous pledge of $100,000, Larry and Penny gave a list of programs to their children, Jon, age 16, and Jeff, age 21, and asked them to pick their top three. When the family reconvened to discuss their decisions, it was clear that BMC’s Autism Clinic was the top choice. “For the kids, I think they could relate to the disorder having seen it firsthand with schoolmates in the Newton school system,” explained Larry. For Penny it was also a clear choice. “I’ve seen how difficult it is for people with means to deal with a child with autism. My personal feeling was that children without means are totally lost,” she said. BMC’s reputation for clinical excellence and involvement in important research in autism spectrum disorders 6 | INSPIRE has drawn families from around the region for diagnosis and treatment at the hospital’s autism clinic. However, what continues to set BMC apart from other institutions is its focus on addressing the needs of vulnerable families in Boston to help parents navigate the challenges of a difficult diagnosis. As New England’s largest safety-net hospital, BMC serves some of the region’s poorest families, many of whom are unprepared to meet the special needs of an autistic child. Three months after giving their gift, the Goodmans visited BMC’s Autism Clinic to meet with staff and to hear about the work firsthand. “After spending some time at the clinic, it was clear that the staff are some of the most wonderful, caring people. It was just incredible to hear the stories about how they assist families in need,” said Larry. “We’d like to think our gift is helping to make a difference.” The Goodman’s generosity is already being translated into care for children and families. Because of their support, the program has been able to expand and add a second autism resource/ education specialist, Lindsey Flaxer, MSW, who joined the team in late May 2011. Her addition will enable the clinic to serve and support additional families every week. “The Goodman’s commitment is making a difference in children’s lives and education every day,” said Marilyn Augustyn, MD, division director of BMC’s Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. Penny is continuing to deepen her commitment to BMC by becoming a new co-chair for Friends of Women’s Health, a group dedicated to supporting women’s health programs at BMC. Free Cancer Screening Day Draws a Crowd B oston Medical Center staff were on call the morning of April 2nd to provide cancer screenings and education free of charge to the Boston community. The “Take Charge of Your Health Event” brought 240 community members through the Moakley Building’s atrium for breast, prostate, skin, thyroid and head and neck cancer screenings. Health educators were also on hand to provide information on prostate cancer, colon cancer, women’s cancers, nutrition and tips for healthy living. BJ’s Charitable Foundation sponsored the event, the seventh of its kind to be held at the hospital. “These events really aim to encourage and empower individuals to find answers to their health questions. Early detection provides the best chance for successful treatment of cancer so we are providing a lifesaving opportunity for people who might otherwise not seek care,” said Liz Pottier, coordinator of BMC’s Cancer Education and Early Detection Community Outreach Program. n “I am really excited to help with the engagement process. I want others to learn about the great work being done here and fall in love with the place,” she said. n Annual Gala Raises Record $2.5M for BMC Programs Lewis Solomont, and pay tribute to the hospital’s service to the Greater Boston community. BMC honored Alan and Susan Solomont during the 15th annual gala and announced the hospital’s new clinical simulation and nursing education center will be named on their behalf. B oston Medical Center’s 15th annual Gala held at the Seaport World Trade Center on Saturday, May 7, raised $2.5 million for the hospital, setting a new record for the signature fundraising event. More than 1,000 guests were in attendance to honor long-time BMC supporters U.S. Ambassador to Spain and Andorra Alan Solomont and his wife, Susan Sponsor Highlights Finagle a Bagel Makes Change for BMC’s Kids Fund Finagle a Bagel recently partnered with Boston Medical Center to “The overwhelming success of the event is credit to the generosity of our many supporters, who understand BMC’s vital mission and admire the commitment of Alan and Susan Solomont, who have worked tirelessly on behalf of the hospital throughout the years,” said BMC’s Vice President for Development Norman Stein. Alan and Susan Solomont have actively served BMC through leadership roles on the Board of Trustees, Friends of Women’s Health, the Grow Clinic for Children and the hospital’s Preventive Food Pantry that serves hungry children and their families. In addition, Alan Solomont co-led BMC’s first capital campaign to build a patient-centered cancer care center in the Moakley Building. to its neediest pediatric patients. During a visit to the hospital, Finagle presidents Laura Trust and Alan Litchman and managers from each of its store locations presented a $25,000 check to BMC President and CEO Kate Walsh. Talk about change you can see! Thanks Finagle for all the support! Ocean State Job Lot Breaks $1 Million for Cancer Care support the hospital’s Kids Fund. The franchise placed change boxes in all their store locations for their customers to contribute to BMC’s initiative to provide basic necessities Now in its seventh year, Ocean State Job Lot’s Compassionate Cancer Care for Everyone program offers Ocean State customers the opportunity to buy a $1 red gift box pinup to support BMC between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of all those in attendance, BMC President and CEO Kate Walsh was able to make a special announcement that BMC’s new state-of-the-art simulation center will be named in honor of the Solomonts. The Alan and Susan Lewis Solomont Clinical Simulation and Nursing Education Center will be an essential training tool for the hospital’s health care providers and a fitting tribute to the Solomont’s commitment to ensure high-quality health care to everyone, regardless of their status or ability to pay. Gala guests enjoyed performances by the Tufts University Beelzebubs and a Berklee College of Music flamenco ensemble, featuring pianist Ariadna Castellanos Pliego. In addition to funding the clinical simulation and nursing education center, the money raised during the event will provide much-needed resources to help sustain many programmatic endeavors at BMC. n This year the program surpassed the $1 million mark in support for the hospital’s cancer support services. “We’re thrilled to have reached this milestone, but we also look forward to watching that number continue to grow over time,” says Marc Perlman, CEO of Ocean State. “It’s a testament to the generosity of our customers, and proof you can accomplish a lot when you’re committed to a cause.” Thanks to the incredible commitment of Ocean State Job Lot, BMC’s cancer patients will receive a full array of cancer support services including access to support groups, enhanced educational materials and assistance addressing obstacles that may be barriers to the intense treatment regimens they require. n 7 Continued from page 2 for patients undergoing lung cancer surgery,” adds Hiran Fernando, MBBS, FRCS, director of BMC’s Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery Program as well as director of the Center for Minimally Invasive Esophageal Therapies. Traditionally lung cancer resections have been done via an open incision or thoracotomy. This incision can be painful because it involves cutting through muscle and spreading the ribs. According to the surgeons, if pain following surgery is not adequately managed, patients may face an increased risk of developing pneumonia as they can find it difficult to cough and clear their lungs of secretions. BMC’s comprehensive lung cancer program has earned an international reputation with physicians who are distinguished as national leaders, researchers and experts in care of patients at all stages of the disease. The hospital’s patient-centered, multidisciplinary approach assures each patient benefits from the collaborative expertise of physicians uniquely focused on their individual needs. For more information, visit www.bmc. org/thoracicsurgery-lung. n In addition to using a robotic approach to remove lung cancer, BMC surgeons are also treating some esophageal and mediastinal diseases. BMC Midwife Brings Support to Pregnant Women, Families W hen it came time for Susanne Kistin to decide where to have her first baby, she was confident in choosing Boston Medical Center. Having been a midwife at BMC for four years, she knew that she would receive the care and support that she wanted both during and after her pregnancy. Although Susanne experienced a long labor, she was able to give birth without an epidural. She delivered a healthy baby boy, James, who is now two years old. With support from her midwife at BMC and her pediatrician “Even though I am a midwife, I had never been a mom,” said Susanne. “Just like the women I take care of, I wanted personalized and loving care, privacy and support for the choices I made during my pregnancy.” The Midwives at BMC understand the importance of giving women special attention during their pregnancy. They honor a woman’s choice to give birth with or without pain medications and help her succeed in having the delivery she envisions. As an essential part of the team at one of Boston’s only Baby-Friendly hospitals (an initiative that promotes breastfeeding), they also support women who choose to breastfeed and provide them with the skills and encouragement necessary to achieve success. 8 | INSPIRE When Susanne was deciding on a medical career she found the holistic approach that midwives took when caring for pregnant women and their families very appealing. “I saw the compassion with which midwives worked, and I knew that is exactly what I wanted to do,” she said. at Greater Roslindale Medical and Dental Center, she was able to breastfeed successfully for more than a year. Susanne is part of a team of 14 midwives at BMC that offers services in seven languages: English, Spanish, Cape Verdean Creole, Haitian Creole, Thai, French and Portuguese. Susanne herself speaks fluent Spanish. The Midwives at BMC were the first midwifery practice in Boston and have been delivering care to women in the Boston area for more than 30 years. BMC midwives collaborate with obstetricians, family medicine physicians, anesthesiologists and pediatricians at BMC in a team model to provide safe, family-focused and personalized care. BMC now has a state-of-the-art Mother-Baby Unit, featuring 17 private, single-family suites. Women and their infants can bond and recuperate after delivery with close friends and family.

Last July, Boston’s Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club raised $10,000 for the hospital’s Supporting Parents and Resilient Kids (SPARK) Center, which provides care for children with complex medical issues. The Buffalo Soldiers give to the program through toy and gift collections and an annual motorcycle ride through Boston’s South Shore. Club president Dana Smith says the Buffalo Soldiers have adopted SPARK as family. “We hope to continue to grow in the future and keep putting a spotlight on SPARK,” he said.
