Ambulatory & Primary Health Care: In March of 1998, the Board of Trustees recognized that Children's Hospital, with its richness of talent and programs and its financial resources, was well positioned to identify and address obstacles to the welfare of children in the community. Therefore, a standing committee of the Board of Trustees has been charged with developing and monitoring all services and benefits provided to the community. The hospital also provides a large array of community-education programs, wellness programs, research activities and special programs for the handicapped and medically underserved. These include, but are not limited to, the following: Kids First provides children in medically underserved areas with convenient access to quality, cost-effective pediatric primary care. Initiated in 1996, Kids First participates in the State of Louisiana KIDMED program for indigent children, which includes medical, vision, hearing and learning screening services. In 2010 there were six pediatric clinics that provided on-call, 24-hour care, seven days a week for children ranging from birth to 21. Of these six, two were open only part-time but still had 24-hour on call. Children's Hospital Outpatient Center of Baton Rouge was immediately established following Hurricane Katrina in order to reach out to patients who relocated to the Baton Rouge area. Clinic space was purchased in order for Children's Hospital's pediatric specialists and pediatricians to see patients on a weekly basis. The clinic is fully staffed to meet the needs of the growing pediatric population in Baton Rouge. Children's Hospital Burdin Riehl Clinic was established in Lafayette in order to meet the needs of those patients who relocated to the area following Hurricane Katrina. Both the Baton Rouge and Lafayette clinics provide care with the same guidelines as the hospital - no child is ever turned away. Doctors at these locations continue to see a large number of patients whose families lost their incomes as a result of Hurricane Katrina. The hospital loses approximately $36,000 per month on these clinics. The Metairie Center is a satellite clinic for pediatric specialists who see patients in the Metairie area. The Children's Healthcare Assistance Plan (CHAP) provides physician and hospital services at no cost to children whose family income is too high to qualify for Medicaid but whose lack of resources limit their access to quality healthcare. Free care provided by the hospital, at established charges, was approximately $18,087,515 for the year-end December 31, 2010. Benefits to the indigent also include charges in excess of government payments for services provided to Medicaid beneficiaries of approximately $346,738,558 for the year-end December 31, 2010. In addition, Children's Hospital had to write-off approximately $3,227,573 of patient care charges that could not be collected from patients. The Parenting Center is a community resource program providing support and education to parents. The goals of the Center are to promote confidence and competence in parents, to encourage optimal child development, and to enhance the well being of the family as a whole. The Parenting Center offers: 1) parent training classes, 2) a free telephone advice line, 895-KIDS, 3) drop-in visits to the Center to offer time with other parents and staff while the children play, 4) community outreach programs, such as lunch bag seminars for working parents, and 5) weekly television segments featuring childrearing tips. Services have been extended to suburban New Orleans with the opening of The Metairie Parenting Center, which also offers classes, support groups, individual counseling and a parent library. SAFE KIDS Louisiana, Inc. is a separate corporation that is partially supported by Children's Hospital as part of its benefits program. As part of SAFE KIDS Worldwide, it is dedicated to reducing the number of unintentional childhood injuries - the number one killer of ch

Patient Care, General/Other: In 2010 Children's Hospital provided care to children from 63 of the 64 parishes in Louisiana, from 48 other states and 3 foreign countries. Patient visits totaled 136,189. Included in these visits were 71,705 physician clinic visits, 48,876 emergency room visits, 6,328 outpatient surgical visits, 2,144 medical visits and 7,136 inpatient admissions or 38,966 patient care days. The Rehabilitation Center treated 52 Rehab patients, and the Acute Care Units treated a total of 6,120 patients. The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit treated 696 patients, the CCU 45 patients, and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit treated 223 infants. The new Psychiatric Unit treated 1,347 patients in 2010. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit continues to be a major referral center for the neonate with complex problems, the majority of which were transferred from other neonatology units whose resources are more limited than those available at Children's. Recognizing the needs of the community, Children's Hospital provides care to patients covered by governmental programs. Seventy percent of the hospital's patients are funded through Medicaid or the state's Children's Special Health Services (CSHS) and other charity programs. Following are some highlights of the hospital's services and growth in 2010: The proceeds from the annual fund drive, in 2010, were dedicated to the purchase of an emergency transport helicopter to transport gravely ill and serious injured children from throughout Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast to our hospital for care. The drive raised $775,529. The 25th annual CMN Telethon netted a total of $1,137,501 in revenue. The broadcast took place on the first weekend in June. Boo at the Zoo, an annual joint fundraiser with the zoo that provides a safe trick-or-treat environment for children up to age 12, was held at the Audubon Zoo on the evenings of October 22, 23, 29, and 30. The event was a sellout all three nights and netted over $133,891 for each organization. There were more than 15,000 attendees over the three-night event. The 29th Annual Sugarplum Ball was held at the hospital's Calhoun Campus in March 2010. The event netted more than $172,232 to support the hospital's Cancer Program. Entercom Broadcasting annual CMN Radiothon in 2010 was held at the hospital on April 9. The amount raised was $45,914. GRANTS Organization Description: In 1988, the Bureau of Maternal and Child Health awarded a grant to Children's Hospital in New Orleans to establish the program now known as the Family Advocacy, Care and Education Services program, or FACES. In twenty-two years, the Part D program has grown from a single-site case management and HIV education demonstration project, to a multi-site, multi-service, comprehensive program with sub-recipients in five regions of the state. The New Orleans and Baton Rouge programs are the largest in terms of its Part D services and are supported by Ryan White Parts A and D. The Part D network partner organizations statewide receive CDC, HOPWA, SAMHSA, and Ryan White Parts A, B, and/or C funds. This application requests $1,952,811 to support the network of Louisiana Ryan White Part D Program providers. Profile of Services and Client Base: The target population is HIV-infected women, their partners, children, youth and their families in five distinct geographic areas in Louisiana. As reflected by the epidemic in Louisiana, the majority of Part D funds and number of network partner sites are located in New Orleans and Baton Rouge (mostly urban and suburban), with the remaining support to providers in southwestern, northwestern, and northeastern Louisiana (largely rural areas). Among all sites in 2009, 1,501 clients received Part D services. The majority of clients served by the project (92%) were racial/ethnic minorities, 82% were female, and 15% were youth. Among the clients served were 127 HIV-positive pregnant women and 139 HIV-exposed infants. In FY 2011, the project anticipat
