ONE OF THE SUBSPECIALTY DEPARTMENTS, THE HEART CENTER, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED IN MAY 2001, HAS SEEN NUMEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS SINCE ITS INCEPTION. OF GREATEST IMPORTANCE IS THE ESTABLISHMENT AND MATURATION OF AN INTEGRATED, SERVICE-LINE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE.

FOR INFANTS, CHILDREN AND TEENS SUFFERING FROM RENAL FAILURE, WE OFFER A DIALYIS AND RENAL CARE CENTER. DIALYSIS IS ALSO AVAILABLE TO TREAT PATIENTS WHO NEED RENAL SUPPORT WHILE THEY RECOVER FROM BURNS, POISONINGS OR OTHER SERIOUS ILLNESS OR INJURY. COMPREHENSIVE CARE FOR KIDNEY PATIENTS IS ASSURED BY THE USE OF A TEAM APPROACH UTILIZING THE SKILLS OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, DIETICIANS, AND SOCIAL WORKERS. OUR PEDIATRIC NEPHROLOGY SERVICES ARE RANKED AMONG THE BEST BY U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT. CARE IS PROVIDED AT OUR AKRON CAMPUS, AS WELL AS OUTPATIENT CLINICS IN BOARDMAN AND MEDINA. IN 1987, CHILDREN'S ESTABLISHED THE CHILDREN AT RISK EVALUATION (C.A.R.E) CENTER TO BETTER EVALUATE AND INITIATE TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN OF SUSPECTED PHYSICAL OR SEXUAL ABUSE AND NEGLECT. AT THE CENTER, A TEAM OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, AND SOCIAL WORKERS SEE SCHEDULED PATIENTS REFERRED BY PRIVATE PHYSICIANS (LOCAL AND REGIONAL), POLICE DEPARTMENTS, JUVENILE DETECTIVES, THE CHILDREN'S SERVICES BOARD (SUMMIT AND OTHER COUNTIES) AND OTHER COMMUNITY AGENCIES. LOCATED NEAR EMERGENCY SERVICES, THE CENTER ACCOMODATES THESE CHILDREN BY PROVIDING A QUIET STRUCTURE AND UNHURRIED ATMOSPHERE FOR EXAMINATION AND INTERVIEW. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING FORENSIC INTERVIEWS AND EXAMINATIONS TO BE USED PRIOR TO AND DURING COURT PROCEEDINGS, THE CENTER CAN VIDEOTAPE A CHILD'S TESTIMONY TO AVOID REPEATED AND OFTEN PAINFUL INTERVIEWS. THE C.A.R.E. TEAM ALSO PROVIDES CONSULTATION WHEN ABUSE IS SUSPECTED FOR A CHILD ON AN INPATIENT UNIT. IN 2007, CHILDREN'S EXPANDED SERVICES FOR ABUSED CHILDREN AND TEENS IN THE MAHONING VALLEY BY PURCHASING THE TRI-COUNTY CHILD ADVOCACY CENTER. THE CENTER NOT ONLY PROVIDES MEDICAL AND FORENSIC EVALUATIONS FOR CHILDREN SUSPECTED OF BEING PHYSICALLY OR SEXUALLY ABUSED, BUT IT ALSO PROVIDES MEDICAL EVALUATIONS FOR KIDS IN FOSTER CARE. IN OCTOBER, 2009, CHILDREN'S RECEIVED FEDERAL AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT (AARA) GRANT FUNDING OF 882,550 FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE C.A.R.E. CENTER SERVICES TO INCLUDE TRAUMA INTERVENTION SERVICES ("TIS") FOR CHILD CARE VICTIMS. THE PROJECT EXPANDED THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF C.A.R.E. TO INCLUDE TIS, THROUGH THE HIRING AND TRAINING OF ADDITIONAL STAFF AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF CRIME AND THEIR FAMILIES. IT ALSO INCREASED THE PARTICIPATION OF VICTIMS IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, AND CONSEQUENTLY, THE PROSECUTION OF CHILD PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL ABUSE. CHILDREN WHO ARE VICTIMS OF PHYSICAL OR SEXUAL ABUSE ARE IDENTIFIED BY REFERRAL FROM OUTSIDE AGENCIES, INCLUDING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, PRIVATE PHYSICIANS, AND CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL AT ANY OF THE FOUR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT LOCATIONS. SERVICES PROVIDED INCLUDE IMMEDIATE TRAUMA-INFORMED, HOME-BASED CRISIS INTERVENTION MANAGEMENT, ADVOCACY THROUGHOUT THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, AND PSYCHOSOCIAL EDUCATIONS FOR FAMILIES REGARDING TRAUMA SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT. THIS PROJECT WAS AN EXPANSION OF A CURRENT SUCCESSFUL EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM MODEL, CHILDREN WHO WITNESS VIOLENCE, WHICH HAS SERVED OVER 2,500 CHILDREN WHO HAVE WITNESSED VIOLENCE AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH HOME-BASED TRAUMA INTERVENTION SERVICES. OHIO'S RATE OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT IS RANKED ELEVENTH IN THE NATION. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT EXPOSURE TO TRAUMA MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN. CHILDREN'S HAS HAD SUCCESSFUL AND EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SERVICES TO PROVIDE TRAUMA FOR CHILDREN EXPOSED TO VIOLENCE; THE EXPANSION OF THE C.A.R.E. CENTER WILL BUILD UPON THIS MODEL. IN LATE 2012, CHILDREN'S RECEIVED A 1.6M GRANT TO PROVIDE SERVICES AND SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA IN NORTHEAST OHIO. WITH THIS NEW FUNDING, CHILDREN'S WILL DEVELOP THE CENTER FOR THE TREATMENT AND STUDY OF ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EVENTS, WITH THE GOAL OF PROVIDING LEADERSHIP, TRAINING AND CONSULTATION SERVICES IN THE AREA OF CHILDHOOD TRAUMATIC STRESS. ANOTHER GOAL OF THE GRANT IS TO BETTER IDENTIFY CHILDREN WHO NEED THESE SERVICES BY SCREENING THEM DURING PRIMARY CARE, PSYCHIATRIC AND EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS. THE CENTER WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH SCHOOLS TO HELP TEACHERS IDENTIFY AND BE SENSITIVE TO CHILDREN WHO MAY BE TRAUMATIZED. WITH THE GRANT, CHILDREN'S BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL CHILD TRAUMATIC STRESS NETWORK (NCTSN), WHOSE MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY, EFFECTIVENESS AND AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WHO EXPERIENCE TRAUMATIC EVENTS. A COMPONENT OF THE DIVISION OF HEMATOLOGY/ONCOLOGY, THE OHIO REGIONAL VI COORDINATED SICKLE CELL PROGRAM AT CHILDREN'S SERVES ADULTS AND CHILDREN IN SEVERAL NORTHEAST OHIO COUNTIES.

ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	PART 1, LINE 1 AND PART III, LINE 1 THE MISSION OF CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER OF AKRON IS TO PROVIDE QUALITY MEDICAL AND SURGICAL CARE FOR BABIES, CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND BURN VICTIMS OF ALL AGES, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY; MULTI-LEVEL PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS OF MEDICINE, NURSING AND VARIOUS ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS; BASIC AND CLINICAL RESEARCH INTO THE CAUSES, TREATMENT AND CURE OF CHILDHOOD ILLNESS, INJURY AND BURN INJURY; COMMUNITY SERVICE INTENDED TO IMPROVE HEALTH STATUS THROUGH LAY EDUCATION; CHILD AND FAMILY ADVOCACY EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE STATUS OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS IN OUR REGION OF SERVICE. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER OF AKRON (CHILDREN'S) IS AN INDISPENSABLE, INTEGRATED PEDIATRIC HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM SERVING INFANTS, CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND ADULTS IN AKRON AND NORTHEAST OHIO. ESTABLISHED IN 1890 BY THE "KINGS DAUGHTERS," A GROUP OF WOMEN AFFILIATED WITH A LOCAL CHURCH, CHILDREN'S HAS GROWN FROM A TWO-ROOM DAY NURSERY TO A MODERN 253-BED, FULL SERVICE HOSPITAL. IN ITS 122 YEAR HISTORY, CHILDREN'S HAS RECEIVED UNFAILING COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP WHICH HAS RESULTED IN CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT IN PATIENT CARE AND THE EXPANSION OF MEDICAL SERVICES. CHILDREN'S IS THE LARGEST PEDIATRIC HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN NORTHEAST OHIO, OPERATING TWO FREESTANDING PEDIATRIC HOSPITALS, FOUR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT LOCATIONS, 30 PEDIATRIC SPECIALTY CLINICS, AND OFFERING SERVICES AT ABOUT 80 LOCATIONS ACROSS THE REGION. IN 2012, CHILDREN'S SERVED OVER 650,000 PATIENTS THROUGH ALL OF ITS PROGRAMS. CHILDREN'S ALSO OPERATES A PEDIATRIC PRIMARY CARE NETWORK WITH 20 OFFICES IN NINE COUNTIES. CHILDREN'S IS DESIGNATED AS A MAGNET HOSPITAL BY THE AMERICAN NURSES CREDENTIALING CENTER. MAGNET DESIGNATION REPRESENTS EXCELLENCE IN NURSING CARE AND A SUPPORTIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT LEADING TO QUALITY PATIENT OUTCOMES AND DEMONSTRATES TO OUR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE THAT THE NURSING CARE AT CHILDREN'S IS OF THE HIGHEST CALIBER NATIONWIDE. CHILDREN'S REGIONAL BURN CENTER WAS VERIFIED BY THE AMERICAN BURN ASSOCIATION AND AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. LAST VERIFICATION WAS DATED NOVEMBER 2011. IT IS REQUIRED EVERY 3 YEARS, THEREFORE REVERIFICATION WILL OCCUR AGAIN IN 2014. CHILDREN'S IS A LEVEL II TRAUMA CENTER DESIGNATION. CHILDREN'S ALSO HAS A PEDIATRIC TEACHING CENTER DESIGNATION (1 OF 14 IN THE UNITED STATES). CHILDREN'S LABORATORY HAS FULL ACCREDITATION BY THE COLLEGE OF AMERICAN PATHOLOGISTS (CAP). THE CHILDREN'S PALLIATIVE CARE LEADERSHIP CENTER IS ONE OF TWO PEDIATRIC CENTERS IN THE UNITED STATES. THE HASLINGER FAMILY PEDIATRIC PALLIATIVE CARE CENTER CELEBRATED ITS 10TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2012 AND RECEIVED THE CIRCLE OF LIFE AWARD FROM THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION. CHILDREN'S IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT FACILITY WHICH OPERATES TWENTY-FOUR(24) HOURS A DAY, SEVEN(7) DAYS A WEEK. CHILDREN'S ACCEPTS ALL PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012, TOTAL UNCOMPENSATED CARE (INCLUDING CHARITY CARE, ALLOWANCES AND CONTRACT ADJUSTMENTS) WAS 470,856,565. CHILDREN'S QUALIFIES AS A DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE HOSPITAL PER ODJFS OHIO DEPARTMENT OF JOBS AND FAMILY SERVICES. DURING 2012, PARTNERS FOR KIDS (PFK), NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND AKRON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL WERE AWARDED A 13M HEALTH CARE INNOVATION GRANT FROM THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES (CMS). WITH THE SUPPORT FROM THE STATE OF OHIO, THESE PARTNERS WILL EXPAND THE PFK MODEL TO COVER A TOTAL OF 517,0000 MEDICAID ENROLLED CHILDREN IN 46 OF OHIO'S 88 COUNTIES. THE EXPANSION OF THE PFK MODEL OF HEALTH CARE DELIVERY REPRESENTS A NEW NATIONAL INNOVATION, A MODEL NOT BEING TESTED ANYWHERE ELSE BY THE CMS. PFK IS THE LARGEST AND OLDEST ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATION FOCUSED SOLELY ON MEDICAID-ENROLLED CHILDREN IN THE NATION. PFK CONTRACTS WITH AREA MEDICAID MANAGED CARE PLANS, WHICH RECEIVE A SET AMOUNT OF MONEY EACH MONTH FROM THE STATE OF OHIO FOR THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF EACH CHILD COVERED. PFK BECOMES RESPONSIBLE FOR COVERING ALL THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF EACH CHILD, REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY RECEIVE CARE. BY RECEIVING A SET AMOUNT OF FUNDS FOR ALL THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF A CHILD, THE PFK PROGRAM INCENTIVIZED QUALITY OUTCOMES AND PREVENTION. TO DATE, PFK HAS REDUCED NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT LENGTH OF STAY, REDUCED THE PREMATURE BIRTH RATE, DECREASED EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS AND INCREASED IMMUNIZATIONS FOR HIGH RISK CHILDREN. THE HEALTH CARE INNOVATION AWARD HAS 3 GOALS: 1. LOWER THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE 2. IMPROVE CARE OUTCOMES 3. BETTER THE POPULATION HEALTH

ONE OF THE SUBSPECIALTY DEPARTMENTS, THE HEART CENTER, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED IN MAY 2001, HAS SEEN NUMEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS SINCE ITS INCEPTION. OF GREATEST IMPORTANCE IS THE ESTABLISHMENT AND MATURATION OF AN INTEGRATED, SERVICE-LINE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE. THIS HAS INFLUENCED ALL OTHER HEART CENTER INITIATIVES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS INCLUDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE FOLLOWING SERVICES: -- CARDIAC SURGICAL SERVICES -- INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY -- MATERNAL FETAL CARDIOLOGY -- ADULT CONGENITAL CARDIOLOGY -- ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY CARDIOLOGY -- ADVANCED CARDIOLOGY IMAGERY -- OUTREACH CARDIOLOGY SERVICES -- CLINICAL CARDIOLOGY SERVICES (ECHO, EKG,STRESS TESTING) -- PREVENTIVE CARDIOLOGY THE HEART CENTER HAS ICAEL ACCREDITATION IN THE FOLLOWING: -- PEDIATRIC ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY -- PEDIATRIC TRANSTHORACIC ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY -- PEDIATRIC TRANESOPHAGEAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY -- FETAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY STATISTICS FOR THE HEART CENTER ARE AS FOLLOWS: 2012 2011 ------ ------ OUTPATIENT VISITS 22,236 13,935 CARDIAC PROCEDURES: CATH 305 263 SURGERY 159 120 ANOTHER SUBSPECIALTY IS THE DEPARTMENT OF NEPHROLOGY WHICH PROVIDES COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC SERVICES FOR INFANTS, CHILDREN AND TEENS WITH KIDNEY AND KIDNEY-RELATED DISEASES. FOR INFANTS, CHILDREN AND TEENS SUFFERING FROM RENAL FAILURE, WE OFFER A DIALYIS AND RENAL CARE CENTER. DIALYSIS IS ALSO AVAILABLE TO TREAT PATIENTS WHO NEED RENAL SUPPORT WHILE THEY RECOVER FROM BURNS, POISONINGS OR OTHER SERIOUS ILLNESS OR INJURY. COMPREHENSIVE CARE FOR KIDNEY PATIENTS IS ASSURED BY THE USE OF A TEAM APPROACH UTILIZING THE SKILLS OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, DIETICIANS, AND SOCIAL WORKERS. OUR PEDIATRIC NEPHROLOGY SERVICES ARE RANKED AMONG THE BEST BY U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT. CARE IS PROVIDED AT OUR AKRON CAMPUS, AS WELL AS OUTPATIENT CLINICS IN BOARDMAN AND MEDINA. IN 1987, CHILDREN'S ESTABLISHED THE CHILDREN AT RISK EVALUATION (C.A.R.E) CENTER TO BETTER EVALUATE AND INITIATE TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN OF SUSPECTED PHYSICAL OR SEXUAL ABUSE AND NEGLECT. AT THE CENTER, A TEAM OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, AND SOCIAL WORKERS SEE SCHEDULED PATIENTS REFERRED BY PRIVATE PHYSICIANS (LOCAL AND REGIONAL), POLICE DEPARTMENTS, JUVENILE DETECTIVES, THE CHILDREN'S SERVICES BOARD (SUMMIT AND OTHER COUNTIES) AND OTHER COMMUNITY AGENCIES. LOCATED NEAR EMERGENCY SERVICES, THE CENTER ACCOMODATES THESE CHILDREN BY PROVIDING A QUIET STRUCTURE AND UNHURRIED ATMOSPHERE FOR EXAMINATION AND INTERVIEW. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING FORENSIC INTERVIEWS AND EXAMINATIONS TO BE USED PRIOR TO AND DURING COURT PROCEEDINGS, THE CENTER CAN VIDEOTAPE A CHILD'S TESTIMONY TO AVOID REPEATED AND OFTEN PAINFUL INTERVIEWS. THE C.A.R.E. TEAM ALSO PROVIDES CONSULTATION WHEN ABUSE IS SUSPECTED FOR A CHILD ON AN INPATIENT UNIT. IN 2007, CHILDREN'S EXPANDED SERVICES FOR ABUSED CHILDREN AND TEENS IN THE MAHONING VALLEY BY PURCHASING THE TRI-COUNTY CHILD ADVOCACY CENTER. THE CENTER NOT ONLY PROVIDES MEDICAL AND FORENSIC EVALUATIONS FOR CHILDREN SUSPECTED OF BEING PHYSICALLY OR SEXUALLY ABUSED, BUT IT ALSO PROVIDES MEDICAL EVALUATIONS FOR KIDS IN FOSTER CARE. IN OCTOBER, 2009, CHILDREN'S RECEIVED FEDERAL AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT (AARA) GRANT FUNDING OF 882,550 FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE C.A.R.E. CENTER SERVICES TO INCLUDE TRAUMA INTERVENTION SERVICES ("TIS") FOR CHILD CARE VICTIMS. THE PROJECT EXPANDED THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF C.A.R.E. TO INCLUDE TIS, THROUGH THE HIRING AND TRAINING OF ADDITIONAL STAFF AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF CRIME AND THEIR FAMILIES. IT ALSO INCREASED THE PARTICIPATION OF VICTIMS IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, AND CONSEQUENTLY, THE PROSECUTION OF CHILD PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL ABUSE. CHILDREN WHO ARE VICTIMS OF PHYSICAL OR SEXUAL ABUSE ARE IDENTIFIED BY REFERRAL FROM OUTSIDE AGENCIES, INCLUDING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, PRIVATE PHYSICIANS, AND CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL AT ANY OF THE FOUR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT LOCATIONS. SERVICES PROVIDED INCLUDE IMMEDIATE TRAUMA-INFORMED, HOME-BASED CRISIS INTERVENTION MANAGEMENT, ADVOCACY THROUGHOUT THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, AND PSYCHOSOCIAL EDUCATIONS FOR FAMILIES REGARDING TRAUMA SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT. THIS PROJECT WAS AN EXPANSION OF A CURRENT SUCCESSFUL EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM MODEL, CHILDREN WHO WITNESS VIOLENCE, WHICH HAS SERVED OVER 2,500 CHILDREN WHO HAVE WITNESSED VIOLENCE AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH HOME-BASED TRAUMA INTERVENTION SERVICES. OHIO'S RATE OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT IS RANKED ELEVENTH IN THE NATION. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT EXPOSURE TO TRAUMA MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN. CHILDREN'S HAS HAD SUCCESSFUL AND EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SERVICES TO PROVIDE TRAUMA FOR CHILDREN EXPOSED TO VIOLENCE; THE EXPANSION OF THE C.A.R.E. CENTER WILL BUILD UPON THIS MODEL. IN LATE 2012, CHILDREN'S RECEIVED A 1.6M GRANT TO PROVIDE SERVICES AND SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA IN NORTHEAST OHIO. WITH THIS NEW FUNDING, CHILDREN'S WILL DEVELOP THE CENTER FOR THE TREATMENT AND STUDY OF ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EVENTS, WITH THE GOAL OF PROVIDING LEADERSHIP, TRAINING AND CONSULTATION SERVICES IN THE AREA OF CHILDHOOD TRAUMATIC STRESS. ANOTHER GOAL OF THE GRANT IS TO BETTER IDENTIFY CHILDREN WHO NEED THESE SERVICES BY SCREENING THEM DURING PRIMARY CARE, PSYCHIATRIC AND EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS. THE CENTER WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH SCHOOLS TO HELP TEACHERS IDENTIFY AND BE SENSITIVE TO CHILDREN WHO MAY BE TRAUMATIZED. WITH THE GRANT, CHILDREN'S BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL CHILD TRAUMATIC STRESS NETWORK (NCTSN), WHOSE MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY, EFFECTIVENESS AND AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WHO EXPERIENCE TRAUMATIC EVENTS. A COMPONENT OF THE DIVISION OF HEMATOLOGY/ONCOLOGY, THE OHIO REGIONAL VI COORDINATED SICKLE CELL PROGRAM AT CHILDREN'S SERVES ADULTS AND CHILDREN IN SEVERAL NORTHEAST OHIO COUNTIES.
