letter from the executive director<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
‘Family’ is a word that carries a lot of weight at <strong>Akron</strong><br />
Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong>.<br />
It drives the way we approach patient care, and it<br />
guides the way we structure our facilities – from<br />
patient rooms to respite centers.<br />
As a contributor to <strong>Akron</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong>, you are<br />
a part of our hospital family. In 2012, your support<br />
helped us grow in ways we never imagined. We ended the year<br />
with more than $20 million raised through individual contributions,<br />
fundraisers, grants, our “Building on the Promise” campaign and<br />
more. It was one of the most monumental years we’ve experienced.<br />
As we grow regionally, so does our donor family.<br />
In this issue of Children’s Progress, you’ll read stories that reflect an<br />
expanding family of people who want to support our mission. Read<br />
about the achievements of recent events like the Handel’s Koins<br />
for Kids campaign and our annual “Have a Heart, Do Your Part”<br />
radiothon. Plan to attend one of our upcoming events, such as the<br />
annual Diamond Classic for Kids and the first-ever Flash-A-Thon<br />
dance marathon. And learn about the latest developments taking<br />
place at our hospital.<br />
It’s a privilege to be a part of <strong>Akron</strong> Children’s – and to have the<br />
support of people like you, who are just as committed to ensuring<br />
that world-class pediatric care thrives in northeast Ohio.<br />
Just like any family grows over time, so does our hospital.<br />
One of the ways we grow is by establishing new divisions, programs<br />
and services, like the NeuroDevelopmental Science Center. In 2012,<br />
the center’s physicians performed our first-ever epilepsy surgery.<br />
In these pages you’ll read how it gave hope and a second chance<br />
to one local boy. New opportunities like this help us provide the<br />
best possible care to the children of our hospital communities and<br />
beyond, allowing us to expand our regional presence.<br />
