Programs

Staffed with top pediatric specialists and award-winning nurses, we are Illinois' only freestanding hospital exclusively for kids. We offer the newest technologies, provide kid-focused experiences and dedicate ourselves to the health and well-being of all children. With 1,100 pediatric specialists focusing on 70 specialties in multiple locations, Children's Memorial routinely provides more care to more young people than any other Chicago-area hospital or medical center. We're accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. We're also consistently ranked as Illinois' top pediatric hospital and one of the nation's best by U.S News & World Report. Staffed with top pediatric specialists and award-winning nurses, we are Illinois' only freestanding hospital exclusively for kids. Licensed for 270 beds, Children's Memorial cares for the most critically ill kids. We work to facilitate care following patient hospital stays. Through our licensed home care agency, Children's Memorial Home Health, LLC, we provide cost-effective, quality home care and when possible, prevent hospitalization. We also are home to Children's Memorial Research Center, one of the nation's premier centers for pediatric research, investing more dollars and resources in pediatric research than any other area hospital. We have one of the country's most sought-after pediatric residency programs, serving as the primary pediatric teaching hospital of Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. Through our advocacy programs, we focus on violent injury prevention, unintentional injury prevention, HIV/AIDS, chronic illnesses, parenting education, youth mentoring and access to care. To support hospitalized children and their families emotionally, socially and developmentally, Children's Memorial's Family Services offers a wide range of creative and educational programs, activities and resources, many of which are supported by philanthropy. Inside the hospital, the Janice and Kimberly Brown Family Life Center offers inpatients and their families a quiet refuge to be together outside the patient's room and benefit from the healing powers of family love. The center offers age-appropriate activities and resources for people of all ages, including a business center for parents and the Liz and Jules Stiffel Atrium Play Area. Beneath a large domed skylight, this play area creates a "medical free zone" inside the hospital. One dedicated toll-free telephone number (1.800.KIDS DOC) is staffed by pediatric nurses who help parents find an appropriate physician, schedule appointments, get directions and learn more about hospital programs, services and specialties. KIDS DOC also offers toll-free access to our Parent Advice Line, a pre-recorded directory of more than 1,100 pediatric health topics ranging from bee stings and nosebleeds to child discipline. Our Volunteer Resources Department provides mutually rewarding hospital and community support. About 1,200 volunteers in more than 100 assignments provided patients, their families and employees with more than 70,000 hours of service in fiscal year 2002. Philanthropic support is crucial in sustaining hospital's quality excellence and leadership in meeting needs of children/families. In fiscal year 2002, 32,000 donors contributed $29.6 million to support hospital programs and services. Charity care totaled $24 million

Balance Sheet: Fiscal Year Ending August 31, 2008

Note: The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot long survive, but the types of assets and liabilities also must be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
