The annual report summarizes the fiscal year of 2011 for Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital. Financially, the hospital had a successful year achieving a healthy operating margin despite rising healthcare costs. Operationally, the hospital continued applying efficiencies while focusing on high quality patient care. The hospital is grateful for the ongoing support through donations, advocacy, and volunteerism that help carry out its mission of serving over 7,500 children in 2011.
3. We salute our nine decades of serving children and
their families with a look at our wonderful Child
Life staff in Nine Reasons We Love Child Life. These
child development experts help children navigate the
stressful and uncertain waters of being in a hospital
and coping with an illness, injury or disability.
Financially, we have had a successful year, achieving
a healthy fiscal margin in spite of the ongoing rise
in healthcare costs and limits on reimbursements.
We have achieved this strength by continuing to
apply operational efficiencies wherever possible,
while always focusing on the high quality care we
provide to our children.
In closing, we offer our continuing gratitude to you.
Through the years, your devotion to the work of
Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital—through your
philanthropy, advocacy, and volunteerism—contrib-
utes invaluably to the functioning of this institution
and helps us carry out our mission: to maximize the
health and independence of the more than 7,500
children we served in 2011.
Dear Friends,
This has been a special year for Mt. Washington
Pediatric Hospital—not only because of our staff’s
continued dedication to providing premier care to
our young patients, but also because 2011 is a very
big milestone for us: it’s our 90th year as the place
where children go to heal and grow.
In this report, we’ll share some of the growth we
have experienced in our clinical programs—through
the eyes of two of our patients. We’ll also look at the
growth we’ve experienced in the Center for Neonatal
Transitional Care, where we began a major expansion
in 2011 to serve more of our youngest patients. Also,
we’ll tell you about the good work we have been doing
in the Community Advocacy and Injury Prevention
program and profile our two new board leaders.
We’ll introduce you to two inspiring patients, one
just five years old, and the other now a young woman:
Although at different ends of the age spectrum, they
share something in common: a battle against a sud-
den, life-threatening illness. We’ll also tell you about
two new devices that they’ve been using to great
success: devices that we were able to acquire this year
through generous contributions. The incorporation
of devices such as these has enabled Mt. Washington
Pediatric to evolve with the times, yet still provide
the highest quality health care since 1922.
As we continue to advance in meeting the needs of
our region’s children, we see an increasing demand for
services in such areas as our Sleep Clinic, which helps
in the diagnosis of serious but treatable conditions
like sleep apnea, and our Developmental Pediatric
Services, which provide testing and evaluation of
behavioral and psychological conditions such as
attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),
Asperger’s Syndrome, and speech, language and
learning delays, among others.

hospital’s boards and inspiring a new cadre of
hospital supporters. He also wants to build greater
awareness of Mt. Washington’s important role in
the community.
“I have a long association with Mt. Washington
Pediatric Hospital as a practicing pediatrician,” he
says. “And I know the leaders at both the University
of Maryland Medical System and Johns Hopkins
Health System feel strongly about the importance of
this institution.”
We are very fortunate to have an individual of
Dr. Pakula’s experience, talents and conviction
leading Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital.
It seems Dr. Lawrence C. Pakula has been preparing
for his role as chairman of Mt. Washington Pediatric
Hospital’s Board his entire life. As the son of a pe-
diatrician in Kansas City, Dr. Pakula had an early
exposure to medicine. He decided to follow in his
father’s footsteps, serving his internship and residency
in pediatrics at Johns Hopkins.
Upon completion, he was drafted into military service
and served as Chief of Pediatrics at Clark Air Force
Base in the Philippines. During the Vietnam-era
buildup, Dr. Pakula’s patient population grew rapidly,
from two thousand to 10 thousand youngsters.
As he treated the children of military families strug-
gling with the stresses associated with separation,
injuries and deaths, Dr. Pakula became determined
to focus a significant portion of his practice on
treating behavioral and developmental disorders in
addition to general pediatrics.
“I love being a pediatrician,” says Dr. Pakula. “I can’t
imagine being in any other field of medicine.”
Dr. and Mrs. (Sheila) Pakula have a long record of
professional and community service. Dr. Pakula has
been on the pediatric staff at Johns Hopkins, Sinai,
GBMC and St. Joseph Hospitals and is Associate
Professor of Pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins School
of Medicine. He has served in several capacities with
the American Academy of Pediatrics and has testified
before Congress, advocating legislation to improve
access to childhood vaccinations.
As Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital’s Board chair,
Dr. Pakula’s goals include completing construction of
the hospital’s Center for Neonatal Transitional Care,
attracting a new generation of leadership to the

• Prepare children for medical procedures/treatment
and speak to kids in language they understand
• Help children with coping strategies to reduce
anxiety and enhance cooperation with the health

• Coordinate school and community outings to work
on problem-solving, social and life skills, memory,
orientation and accessibility
• Provide recreational therapy to help patients
recover motor function, reasoning abilities,
socialization skills and to build confidence
• Answer family questions about developmental
milestones, coping and adjustment, infant
massage and safe car seat use.
If your son or daughter were ever in the hospital, you
would know how frightening it can be. It’s likely you
were especially thankful for the skills and compassion
of a Child Life and Therapeutic Recreation Specialist.
These child development experts help hospitalized
patients cope by offering education, activities for kids
to express themselves, medical procedure support,
assistance in reaching developmental milestones and
other vital services.
These degreed professionals establish treatment plans
to address a patient’s psychosocial and developmental
needs. Our Child Life staff are on duty seven days a week
at both the W. Rogers Avenue and Prince George’s sites.

The Diagnostic Evaluation Clinic in the Division of
Pediatric Psychology has expanded capacity, working
with more families of children to help determine the
nature of their behavioral, emotional or school con-
cerns. Referrals consist of evaluation for diagnoses
including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,
Autism Spectrum Disorder, Depression, Anxiety,
Learning Disability, Mood Regulation Disorder and
related conditions.
Each family meets with a psychologist to discuss
their child’s test results, diagnoses, and appropriate
recommendations. Recommendations are tailored
to the specific needs of each child and assist parents,
pediatricians, educators and other mental health
practitioners in the appropriate treatment.

sensors detect shifts in weight and measure balance.
“One of the best things is, you can use it for objective
evaluation and treatment,” says Garner.
No other hospital in Maryland is using it for pedi-
atrics. Children with cerebral palsy, coordination
disorders, and traumatic brain injuries are good
candidates for NeuroCom. “It really distinguishes us
at Mt. Washington,” Garner says.
It reminds some patients like Demi of the Wii FitTM
game. “I like it,” she says, slowly forming a smile.
In fact, her smile was what tipped off mom something
was wrong. Around her birthday, Friedel pleaded for a
photo: “Real smile. Come on, Demi.” But her daugh-
ter’s face seemed droopy. Yet, the little girl insisted:
“I’m doing it, Mom.” Within days, Demi was at Johns
Hopkins. Doctors discovered bleeding in her brain stem.
Her case was handled by renowned brain surgeons
Drs. Ben Carson and George Jallo—Dr. Jallo performed
the surgery and successfully removed the clot.
“It was amazing,” says Gina. “In no time, she was
back to her old self, joking.” After Hopkins, Demi
began therapy at Mt. Washington.
Therapists are working to strengthen Demi’s left-
side and right-side motor skills. Her balance is much
improved. She comes to Mt. Washington only twice
a week now. “It takes time,” says Gina Friedel. “But
we’re very, very optimistic.”
For Balance Clinic information, call 410-578-5224.
To schedule an appointment, call 410-367-2222.
In a three-sided booth, Demi Friedel is surrounded
by a mountain scene. On a computer screen, a figure
skater moves side to side. “Get that skater in there,”
says physical therapist Christy Garner. “It’s tricky be-
cause the walls and floor are moving. Yes, you did it!”
Just a month before, the 5-year-old Perry Hall girl
fell down numerous times during this exercise. Since
then, staff have seen much progress and are using
measurable results to back them up.

In addition, the expanded endowment will provide
income to fund new patient care initiatives, such as

provides specialty skills in pediatric nursing. It will
also be used to purchase state-of-the-art equipment for
treating inpatients with many medical issues, as well
as help outpatients in the Diabetes Clinic, the Feeding

Caring for premature babies. Advanced training for

needs. That’s what the Building for the Future of Every
Child: the Campaign for Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital
is all about.
As of June 30, 2011, more than $8.2 million has been
raised. The campaign’s $9.2 million goal comes with
two objectives: renovating and expanding the Center
for Neonatal Transitional Care (CNTC) and building
the hospital’s endowment.
When completed, the neonatal unit will serve an
additional 100 premature infants and other babies
with serious medical conditions each year. It means a
total of 600 babies will be able to come here each year
and receive the best specialty care possible. Also, the
increased capacity will enable us to meet one of our
region’s growing critical service needs, by bridging
the gap from the intensive care unit to a place where
families can see their babies grow strong and then

Cierra Foxx: An Inspiration to All
Instead, Cierra was transferred to Mt. Washington
Pediatric Hospital for a lengthy rehabilitation.
“Initially, Cierra was unable to use her right side
to write, dress herself, and walk,” says Long Clark,
Senior Occupational Therapist. “Anyone would have
compassion for her.”
Cierra received inpatient therapy six times a week,
using various splints, electrical stimulation,
rigorous exercise, and small hand manipulations
for dexterity. It was hard work, but she was dedicated
to getting stronger.
She now works with the Bioness®
system to improve
walking, balance and lower extremity strength. It
was purchased through a $12,500 Christopher and
Dana Reeve Foundation Quality of Life grant.
“Cierra is one of our most inspiring patients,” says
Kathy Gray, OT and Clinical Specialist in Acquired
Brain Injury.“She can accomplish anything she puts
her mind to.” Gray even helped Cierra find a driving
rehabilitation course. She passed with flying colors.
“Overall, I feel there’s nothing I can’t accomplish,”
Cierra says. “Mt. Washington and everyone who’s
helped along the way are my saviors. I’m very optimistic.”
“She has really persevered,” says physiatrist Stephen
Nichols, M.D. “I admire her determination to get
stronger and more independent—Cierra has a bright
future.” In fact, Cierra received her Associate’s
Degree and has been accepted at Towson University.
She plans to help others with medical conditions, so
they too can accomplish their goals.

Cierra Foxx first noticed something felt strange at the
bus stop, when her right arm and leg went to sleep.
Hours later, she was limping. Her grandmother also
noticed she was “talking funny” and called 911. An
ambulance took Cierra to University of Maryland
Medical Center in Baltimore. She had suffered a
stroke. She was only 17 years old.
The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that
three children in 100,000 suffer a stroke each year.
“At first I was in denial. I thought I would be the
athletic person I was,” Cierra says.

and transitional apartment for families. MWPH becomes
jointly affiliated with University of Maryland Medical
System and Johns Hopkins Health System.
MWPH: Why are you involved
with Mt. Washington Pediatric
Hospital?
FW: The kids! I’ve been in-
volved with Mt. Washington
since 1976 and I have seen this
institution change a great deal.
It’s more sophisticated and
complex, but treating children
with chronic conditions and
helping them to go home
healthier has remained a
constant focus.
MWPH: What makes this
hospital different from other
healthcare organizations?
FW: Mt. Washington has some-
thing exceptional about it—it’s
the emotional warmth that
permeates the institution. You
feel it when you walk through
the halls and speak with the
staff. It’s very different from
other hospitals. Mt. Washing-
ton has a nurturing environment that everyone, but
especially the kids, responds to. The hospital board
is very aware of this unique quality and wants to
maintain it even as we grow and change.
MWPH: How has Mt. Washington changed over the years?
FW: The hospital has evolved from a long-term care
facility to a place where the focus is on getting
children well enough to go home. When I first came,
patients were here for months or sometimes years at a
Fred Wolf III: Board Chair, MWPH Foundation
time. Now, the average stay
is only about a month.
Today, our focus is on
getting children back with
their families.
MWPH: As the new board
chairman, what do you see as
the Foundation’s role in relation
to the hospital?
FW: The Foundation plays
an important role by
participating in and leading
the fundraising effort for
Mt. Washington. It also
provides seed money for
launching and supporting
new programs until they
can be funded by the
hospital’s budget.
MWPH: What do you look
for when you are seeking new
Foundation board members?
FW: We seek members with
an interest in children, of course. And we want them
to understand what’s happening at the hospital and
what issues drive its operations and future, although
the foundation board does not engage in medical
discussions. And we like to bring on people with
contacts in the community for fundraising.
To find out about how you can help the
Mt. Washington Pediatric Foundation,
contact Brigid Kernan, at 410-578-5315.
15. Since our earliest days, Mt. Washington Pediatric
Hospital has taken on an active role in the community,
providing education and programs to assist families
and agencies catering to the needs of children. We also
actively engage in advocacy in both the national and
state legislative arenas.
Community Advocacy
Program
In 2011, we saw major
headway in our Commu-
nity Advocacy and Injury
Prevention Program.
Through this program,
Mt. Washington has made an impact on nearly five
thousand Baltimore area families, providing education
and tools to live a healthier life. Goals include lead
poisoning prevention, nutrition, infant care and
parenting skills. Also, in affiliation with UMMS, we
took part in health fairs such as Spring into Good Health
and Fall Back into Health.
Mt. Washington clinicians and experts continued to
reach out to the community in 2011, offering knowl-
edge and skills to help families stay healthy and safe.
Precious Cargo
Child Safety Seat Check
At MWPH, we take car
seat installation seriously.
Experts agree that child
safety seats save thou-
sands of lives every year,
but only if installed correctly. That’s why we host the
Child Safety Seat Check every year, and why our certi-
fied technicians participate in more than two dozen
others. We team up with area child safety experts to
90 Years of Service to the Community
inspect dozens of vehicles for correct installation. We
also provide Spanish-speaking technicians.
SibShops of Maryland
We are proud to serve as the lead agency for SibShops
of Maryland. This interagency effort offers counseling
and support to brothers and sisters of children with
special needs. Sessions are a way for kids with similar
family backgrounds to connect.
Camp NOAH
Baltimore city high school
students attended a
week-long program called
Camp NOAH (Nursing
and Other Allied Health).
Participants are students
ages 15-18 interested in
pursuing a health care career. Students observe care
practices while working directly with nurses, respira-
tory therapists, child life specialists and other health
care professionals.
MWPH Goes to Washington
In May, we joined dozens
of other hospitals in
Washington DC to
advocate on behalf of
children’s health care
programs. Helping us to
make our case was the
Pelovitz family of Severn, MD. 6-year-old Nadiya
lives with a complicated seizure disorder and global
disabilities, and comes to MWPH for treatment.
We thank the Pelovitz family for helping spread the
word that the needs of children should not be forgot-
ten in the health care debate.
