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 OTHER MAJOR 2011 ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE HEART CENTER ARE: -- ADDED PEDIATRIC CARDIAC CLINICS, CARDIAC SURGERY AND FETAL ECHO CLINIC AT METROHEALTH HOSPITAL -- 2% GROWTH IN MAHONING VALLEY AT HEART CENTER BOARDMAN -- 6% OVERALL GROWTH IN HEART CENTER CLINIC VISITS 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: 2011 2010 ------ ------ OUTPATIENT VISITS 13,935 10,732 CARDIAC PROCEDURES: CATH 263 271 SURGERY 120 150 ANOTHER SUBSPECIALTY IS THE PEDIATRIC DIALYSIS RENAL CARE CENTER, WHICH OPENED IN 1985. THIS IS THE ONLY FACILITY IN THE CHILDREN'S SERVICE AREA EQUIPPED TO TREAT BABIES, CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC OR ACUTE KIDNEY FAILURE. STATE-OF-THE-ART KIDNEY DIALYSIS IS PERFORMED AT CHILDREN'S. 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. 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 2,200 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. 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. THE GRANT FUNDED PROGRAM PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN IMPROVING THE TREATMENT AND EDUCATION OF PERSONS WITH THE SICKLE CELL TRAIT IN THE REGION.

THIS IS THE ONLY FACILITY IN THE CHILDREN'S SERVICE AREA EQUIPPED TO TREAT BABIES, CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC OR ACUTE KIDNEY FAILURE. STATE-OF-THE-ART KIDNEY DIALYSIS IS PERFORMED AT CHILDREN'S. 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. 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.

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 2,200 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.
