| Form 990, Part I, Line 1 | DEDICATED TO THE MISSION OF PROVIDING THE BEST POSSIBLE CARE AND SERVICES FOR ALL CHILDREN WHO COME TO US BECAUSE OF SICKNESS AND INJURY. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | For more than six decades, Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters (CHKD) has been the only facility of its kind in Virginia, serving the medical and surgical needs of children throughout the state. Its primary service area encompasses greater Hampton Roads, the Eastern Shore of Virginia, and northeastern North Carolina, a region that is home to approximately 418,000 people under the age of 21. CHKD was established as an 88-bed, not-for-profit hospital in 1961 by The King's Daughters, a women's service organization dedicated to the health and well-being of the community's indigent children. The hospital has always upheld the charitable mission of its founders, and in FY25, 56.1 percent of its inpatient days were covered by Medicaid. Over the past 60 years, CHKD's hospital has grown into an extensive pediatric health care system that offers 266 inpatient beds. Two hundred and six of those beds are in CHKD's acute care facility and sixty are in Children's Pavilion, the organization's new mental health tower. CHKD Health System also offers a variety of outpatient pediatric services at CHKD, Children's Pavilion, and multi-service CHKD Health Centers in Virginia Beach, Newport News, Chesapeake, Hampton, and Suffolk. Its services include everything from wellness and prevention initiatives to primary care, surgery and rehabilitation. Many of CHKD's unique services and programs address pressing public health needs that would otherwise go unmet. As the premier provider of healthcare services to the region's children, CHKD has secured a place in the heart of the community. The Health System is an eager collaborator with other community organizations and institutions that share its concern for the well-being of young people and offers a variety of education, research and health initiatives to improve the health and well-being of children in this community and beyond. The Health System's primary services center on inpatient and outpatient care, community outreach programs and medical education/research. Because the organization's ongoing development of mental health services are so integral to its community benefit, advances of this program are highlighted separately. Section One: Inpatient Care Children with a vast range of medical problems -- including life-threatening illnesses and injuries -- turn to CHKD for inpatient care. In FY25, CHKD had 5,790 admissions resulting in 55,158 patient days. Approximately 56 percent of these days were covered by Medicaid. CHKD's acute care facility has 206 inpatient beds, and almost half of those are for pediatric intensive care. The hospital is home to the region's highest-level Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where critically ill newborns, some as young as 22 weeks gestation, benefit from a unique combination of advanced medical technology, developmental care, family support, and palliative care. CHKD's NICU has 50 private rooms and 10 semi-private rooms to create a more individualized and family-centered approach, giving families more privacy to bond with their babies. There were 505 discharges from the NICU in FY25. The region's largest and most sophisticated Pediatric Intensive Care Unit is at CHKD. In this unit, a full-time staff of board-certified pediatric intensive care physicians, critical care nurses, and respiratory therapists provide extremely sophisticated, technologically advanced care to children with life-threatening injuries and illnesses. Medical care is supplemented with support from child life specialists, social workers and chaplains who have extensive experience helping families through the trauma and stress of a severe illness or injury in a child. There were 1,004 admissions to our PICU in FY25. Many patients are brought from other area hospitals to CHKD by the hospital's neonatal/pediatric transport program, which operates out of four fully equipped mobile intensive care units. Two EMT certified critical care transport teams are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to all area medical facilities that need to send sick or injured children to CHKD. CHKD transport teams are equipped and trained to transport all trauma patients under the age of 15 to Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters for specialized pediatric trauma care. Each critical care transport call is answered by a certified EMT-B neonatal/pediatric critical care nurse, a certified EMT-B registered respiratory therapist and a certified EMT-paramedic trained in neonatal/pediatric care. In FY25, the team transported approximately 1,400 patients. Of those, about 350 were newborns in need of neonatal intensive care. CHKD's transport service is also under contract to the Naval Medical Center, Portsmouth, to provide all critical care neonatal and pediatric military transports in the region. Besides ground transports in our Mobile ICUs or acute care transport, the team can respond via fixed wing aircraft or helicopter transport when medically necessary. CHKD transfer center is staffed with paramedics who operate to ensure appropriate dispatch services to the transport team as well as to deliver assistance and support for referral facilities and staff throughout the community. CHKD operates the region's only pediatric surgery program, offering young people state-of-the-art treatment in a supportive, non-threatening environment created exclusively to meet their needs. In FY25, surgeons performed 14,279 cases at CHKD facilities for a vast range of problems, from the simplest outpatient procedures to complex Craniofacial, Orthopedic and Chest Wall surgeries. CHKD's cardiac surgery program is part of a regional collaborative between CHKD and the University of Virginia. CHKD and UVA combine the efforts of pediatric cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, cardiac anesthesiologists, intensive care physicians and cardiac support professionals from both institutions with the goal of improving outcomes for children with complex congenital heart defects. (See outpatient services and programs for more information of CHKD's surgery program.) CHKD employs dozens of professionals who provide emotional, recreational, spiritual and practical support to children and families during hospitalizations. The work of these professionals complements our expert medical care to create a unique treatment and healing environment for children and their families. Our chaplaincy services provide emotional support, spiritual care, ethical reflection, bereavement care/resources/follow-up (including parent support groups), spiritual assessment and guidance to patients, families, and staff with in-hospital presence seven days a week and 24 hours a day. Additionally, a chaplain is assigned to Children's Pavilion to provide for patients on our inpatient mental healthcare floors. Chaplains assist with advance directives, advanced care plans and serve on the trauma team as primary providers of family support. The hospital employs a chaplaincy manager, six full-time chaplains, one full-time Family/Staff Support Coordinator and four per-diem chaplains who reflect the diversity of the community. All chaplains are professionally trained to meet the varied spiritual needs of families and staff with respect and compassion. Chaplaincy services has numerous connections with community clergy to ensure most religious needs can be met. The chaplains provide an annual memorial service to remember and celebrate the lives of the children who have passed on during the previous year. The chaplains also facilitate educational and wellness programs for hospital staff and physicians, as well as planning and participating in outreach to the community. The hospital employs 29 integrative care/child life staff members, including two art therapists and two music therapists, who help children adjust and cope during hospitalization. Their goal is to make the child's hospital experience as normal as possible by developing supportive relationships with patients and families, providing age-appropriate preparation for medical procedures and surgeries, coping strategies and play opportunities for children to relieve stress. Ten members of the department, including certified therapeutic recreation specialists, work on our inpatient mental health units. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | There are four popular activity areas, including a teen room, in the main hospital, providing hospitalized children opportunities for socialization and creative play. And child life assistants work with CHKD's volunteer services division to manage the hospital's popular pet therapy program -- the Buddy Brigade -- which brings visits of dog/handler teams to visit patients several times each week. Child life staff members collaborate with other hospital staff to provide support for parents and siblings, offering an annual Teddy Bear clinic, weekly closed-circuit TV bingo, inpatient developmental screenings, and a Kids as Partners Advisory Council. CHKD's Medical Social Work team provides many services, including the following: -Conduct biopsychosocial and behavioral assessments. -Provide support during hospitalization to CHKD patients and families dealing with trauma, chronic illness, and loss. -Refer to CHKD's eligibility workers to complete applications for insurance coverage for medical care, prescriptions, and medical supplies. -Coordinate referrals and ongoing communication to other community resources for assistance with needs such as housing, mental health counseling, educational advocacy, legal assistance, and much more. -Aid in communication with families with the medical treatment teams by coordinating patient care conferences and team meetings. -Evaluate and report suspicion for child abuse/neglect. -Conducts trauma assessments as required for the coordination of care for patients of a Level 1 pediatric trauma center. In July 2021, a grant was awarded to the medical social work team under the Hospital Violence Intervention Program initiative. This program is now identified as "Safer Futures, is managed by an identified licensed eligible coordinator, and one full-time medical social worker who conduct intake assessments, develop individual service plans, do interval check-ins and provide progress notes for patients and family members affected by violence. Additionally, medical social workers facilitate a variety of support groups in the community that assist patients and families in connecting with others who share similar challenges. Some examples include Sibshops, Healthy Mommy Healthy Baby, and Dine and Discover for NICU families. The Medical Social Work team manages the Halo, Butterfly Blessings, and Sam's Warriors Funds, monetary funds designated to assist patients/families encountering barriers such as transportation needs, meal and medication/prescription assistance, and other discharge-related costs. These donated funds may also be used in emergency situations to assist with special healthcare challenges, lost money due to parent's inability to work during child's inpatient stay, and partial or one-time payments for utilities or rent fees post discharge. The medical social work team is part of CHKD's mental health program, which is covered in more detail in the next section. The cultural/language services department at Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters (CHKD) meets the needs of patients and families with limited English proficiency by coordinating access to language interpretation via face-to-face, over the phone, and video remote interpretation throughout the health system. The program's goal is to improve customer service, consistency of care, and patient safety. We recognize that it is critical to have access to interpreters and caregivers who can provide culturally sensitive and accurate information so they can understand and participate in the child's treatment and discharge process and help prevent potential medical errors. It also contributes to overall family satisfaction, which is vitally important. We meet this goal through the activities described below: CHKD provided interpretation services in 43 different languages for our limited English population through 25,225 outpatient visits during FY25. To meet the needs of these families, hospital staff used Over the Phone Interpretation, Video Remote Interpretation, and 3.83 FTE Spanish medical interpreters in the Language Services department who cover the main hospital and the General Academic Pediatrics (GAP) clinic. Additionally, the CHKD system had 29 dual role bilingual staff who were available to provide medical interpretation in their assigned areas. For written document translation (Spanish), language services staffing relied on the assistance of 2.2 Language Services Spanish interpreters in the department. All CHKD Language Services interpreters assisting with Spanish document translation must have National Certification as Healthcare Interpreters at a minimum. During FY25 the CHKD Language Services department assisted with in person and over the phone interpretation for 12,235 patient encounters at the main hospital and at the GAP clinic, translated 339 documents from English to Spanish, and conducted 22 language proficiency assessments. Language proficiency assessments are conducted by the Language Services Department to ensure bilingual staff throughout the CHKD health system have the skills necessary to communicate effectively with patients and families in Spanish, or before they are allowed to provide medical interpretation in Spanish. As the regional provider of pediatric care, CHKD is an integral part of the community's natural or man-made disaster planning efforts. CHKDHS recognizes the importance of a National Incident Management System (NIMS) community-integrated, all-hazard emergency operations plan. This plan is prepared, exercised and shared internally and externally with community, State and Federal emergency response agents. Section Two: Outpatient Services and Programs CHKD Health System also offers the community many important pediatric services on an outpatient basis. In FY25, children made approximately 659,979 outpatient visits to CHKD pediatricians, surgeons, and subspecialty clinics. They made 376,312 visits to the primary care pediatricians of CHKD's Medical Group, which offers care in 19 practices in 31 offices throughout our service area. CHKD's Surgical Specialty Group makes the services of the region's only pediatric general, urological, cardiac, neurosurgical, plastic, oral maxillofacial, and orthopedic surgeons available to thousands of children who might otherwise have to travel outside of the area for surgery. Children made 50,876 visits to the surgical group practices in FY25. The surgeons performed 5,891 surgical cases. The hospital also provides care to children facing health conditions such as cancer, genetic disorders, obesity, heart problems, developmental disabilities, asthma/allergies, and diabetes through more than 34 outpatient specialty clinics offering specialized pediatric care. In FY25, children made 232,791 visits to our outpatient clinics. Children's Hospital was founded on the premise that all children deserve equal access to quality pediatric care. As our population grew and settled into the far corners of our bridge- and tunnel-laced region, travel to CHKD's main facility in Norfolk became more of a hardship for families. To ease that burden and improve children's access to care in every corner of our service area, CHKD has established multi-service health centers in strategic locations. These include, but are not limited to, the following: * The CHKD Health and Surgery Center at Oyster Point offers families who live north of the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel a wealth of important services in a convenient location. The center is home to the region's first pediatric ambulatory surgery center. Other services offered at the site include primary, surgical, and sub-specialty pediatrics; lab and radiology services (including ultrasound and MRI); audiology testing; and occupational, speech, and physical therapy. Aquatic therapy and child abuse program services are also available there. * The CHKD Health Center and Urgent Care at Tech Center is home to the Peninsula's only pediatric urgent care as well as the Center for Pediatric Sleep Medicine, lab and radiology services, physical medicine and rehabilitation, rheumatology, sports medicine primary care, sports medicine physical therapy, mental health, neurology, and performance training. * The CHKD Health Center at Oakbrooke serves families in Chesapeake and northeastern North Carolina. It is home to a primary care pediatric practice; physical, occupational, and speech therapy; lab and radiology services (including ultrasound); a sports medicine gym; sleep studies unit; audiology testing; therapy pool; and clinic space for a variety of pediatric specialists and surgeons providing evaluation, treatment, and follow-up. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | * The CHKD Health and Surgery Center at Concert Drive serves the growing medical needs of families in Virginia Beach. The center is home to Virginia Beach's first ambulatory surgery center exclusively for children. Families can also find primary care pediatricians and in-house lab and radiology services - including MRI - at the center, along with child life specialists. Other services include specialty care pediatrics for help with chronic problems such as diabetes. A third operating room at this location supports the pediatric dental needs of the community. It was built and designed according to input from community dentists. * The CHKD Health Center at Landstown is located just down the road from Concert Drive and offers dedicated Virginia Beach space for specialty services such as sports medicine, dermatology, and gynecology. * The CHKD Health Center and Urgent Care at Loehmann's Plaza serves the northern and middle Virginia Beach region and is home to CHKD Urgent Care; sports medicine (primary care) and therapy; sports performance training; and physical, occupational, and speech therapy. * The CHKD Health Center at Harbour View offers specialized pediatric care to families in Suffolk. The site offers appointments in pediatric dermatology, allergy, gastroenterology, cardiology, gynecology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, lab and radiology services (including ultrasound), nephrology, and developmental pediatrics. * CHKD Sports Medicine & Therapy Services offers sports medicine and therapy services in Suffolk, conveniently located next to the CHKD Health Center at Harbour View. * The CHKD Health Center at Lightfoot offers families in the northern corner of our service area appointments in pediatric cardiology, nephrology, gynecology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, rehabilitative therapies, plastic and oral maxillofacial surgery, sports medicine, and urology. It is also home to the Children's Diagnostic Center. * The CHKD Health Center at Fort Norfolk is located in the Fort Norfolk Plaza building and is home to specialty services including allergy and asthma, adolescent medicine, ophthalmology, and the Cleft and Craniofacial Center. * The CHKD Health Center at Kempsville provides families in Norfolk and Virginia Beach pediatric primary care and orthopedics and sports medicine. * The CHKD Health Center, South Campus is home to CHKD's Neuroscience Center and is located just across Brambleton Avenue to the south of the main hospital. This site offers appointments in mental health, neurology, sleep medicine, and physical medicine and rehabilitation. Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters operates the region's only pediatric urgent care. Parents of children with urgent, but not emergent medical needs, now have access to quality medical care just for kids after-hours, on weekends and holidays. In FY25, children made 98,068 visits to CHKD Urgent Care Centers in Chesapeake, Virginia Beach and Newport News. CHKD's Child Advocacy Center (CAC) coordinates the region's efforts to accurately identify, treat, and support children who are suspected victims of abuse or neglect. In addition to the main program in Norfolk, services are available at CHKD's outpatient centers in Virginia Beach and Newport News. The CAC provides comprehensive assessment, evaluation, and treatment services, including case management and advocacy, an array of evidence-based mental health services, forensic interviewing, forensic medical examinations, and consultations, which include 24/7 coverage of acute sexual assaults of children. The CAC also coordinates efforts among investigative agencies involved in the investigation and prosecution of child maltreatment and facilitates collaboration across 12 multidisciplinary teams (MDTs). These teams discuss each child referred to the program to ensure the best possible outcomes. With strong community support, CHKD's Child Advocacy Center served 2,621 children and families in FY2025 across southeastern Virginia. For over 27 years, investigative agencies across southeastern Virginia have relied on this specialized program for assessment and treatment services when a child is suspected of experiencing any form of maltreatment. In FY2025, the center provided nearly 900 forensic interviews, over 3,800 mental health service visits, more than 1,300 medical service encounters, and almost 14,000 victim and family advocacy encounters to children and families across Hampton Roads. A specialty program within the CAC helps accurately identify and provide assistance and treatment to commercially sexually exploited children (CSEC). Since launching this program and CSEC MDT, the program has seen a sharp increase in the need for these services. The Child Advocacy Center assisted 297 children through the CSEC program this year - a 5% increase from the previous year. The team frequently collaborates with federal and local investigators, as well as juvenile court services, and medical and mental health providers, to best meet the unique needs of each child. The CAC's mental health team recently completed a year-long training to implement the Problematic Sexualized Behavior Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - Young Children (PSB-CBT) treatment modality. Currently unavailable elsewhere in our region, this needed treatment expands our mental health services to address these problematic behaviors. In FY25, our mental health team provided treatment for 29 children who were identified as having problematic sexual behaviors with PSB-CBT or Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior therapy with PSB components added. The CAC is also the backbone agency for the Hampton Roads Trauma Informed Community Network (HRTICN), which exists to promote an understanding of how trauma affects individuals and communities, and to advocate practices that help all people reach their full potential. HRTICN worked with the Virginia chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics this year to train pediatricians on approaches to screening, referral, and follow-up for maternal depression, social determinants of health and social-emotional development during well-child visits. Approximately 14% of children served at our CAC have a military affiliation, supported by a dedicated case manager who is also a decorated veteran. In addition to nine city MTD case review teams, this program also facilitates three multidisciplinary case review teams, covering all military branches, and is focused on meeting the unique needs of these families, linking them to military resources, and providing educational opportunities to our MDT partners. The epidemic of childhood obesity continues to be a concern and focus area for CHKD. To address this critical issue, CHKD offers a comprehensive program called Healthy You for Life that is offered to children ages 3 through 21. Healthy You for Life offers a multidisciplinary team approach that provides clinical and psychological evaluation and treatment planning for individuals either in person or by telemedicine visits. The program's clinical staff includes a physician, nurse practitioner, registered dieticians, a licensed clinical social worker, medical assistants, and an exercise physiologist. The Healthy You for Life program also offers individual counseling sessions. In the 2025 fiscal year, the team conducted 1,502 visits. Moving into the new fiscal year, the team is continuing to use telemedicine to ensure access to all providers, including behavioral health counselor to address psycho-social stressors many patients experience. Middle school and high school group therapy sessions continues via telehealth to help pre-teen and teenagers feel connected and supported. Personal training is also offered for interested patients and group fitness classes resumed with parent and patient enthusiasm. Pursuant to recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the use of pharmacotherapy has been considered as an additional treatment in conjunction with diet, exercise and lifestyle changes for those children and adolescents at high risk for developing life-threatening comorbidities. Healthy You continues to partner with various community organizations to educate and encourage healthy lifestyles for chronically obese children and their families in Hampton Roads. Our providers also partner with neighboring universities as preceptors, guest lecturers and consultants in nutrition and wellness. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | CHKD's diabetes education program helps approximately 1,600 local children who live with the chronic disease. Three certified diabetes educators, a social worker, a registered dietitian and office coordinator help patients and families at the onset of the disease and until adulthood. The Diabetes Center provides inpatient and outpatient clinical management, diabetes education, support groups, and professional and community education programs. A transition program helps the older teens and young adults begin transferring care to adult providers in the community. Children made 646 visits to the Diabetes Center in FY25. The Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center provides care to young people with cancer, sickle cell disease, bleeding and other blood disorders through treatment programs that encompass children's physical, emotional and educational needs and incorporates the whole family. Patients made 8,541 visits to the center in FY25. CHKD is the only Emergency Department and Level 1 Trauma Center exclusively serving children and their families in the southeast region of Virginia. In FY25, children made 60,256 visits to our Emergency Department.

Our collaborative team includes pediatric board-certified emergency physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, ED techs, nursing care partners, behavioral health techs, pharmacists, social workers, child life specialists, chaplains, respiratory therapists and more. Children's Hospital offers the only pediatric renal dialysis service in the area. Dialysis is a time-consuming process and children appreciate the chance to have the service in a setting where they can meet with friends their own ages as well as hospital support staff. During FY25, children made 6,045 visits to the renal clinic. CHKD is a stand-alone pediatric transplant hospital. Since 2005, CHKD has performed more than 100 kidney transplants from living donors as well as deceased donors. Living donation options include a partnership with Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and the National Kidney Registry (nationwide living donor paired-exchange program). One mark of CHKD's distinctive pediatric care has always been child-centered diagnostic services, such as radiology and laboratory. Over the past several years, CHKD has worked hard to make these unique services more accessible to families throughout our service region. In addition to the lab at the main hospital, CHKD now offers lab services at its Oyster Point, Harbour View, Concert Drive, Oakbrook, Loehmann's and Tech Center locations as well as the Volvo Urgent Care Center. The laboratory also operates a courier service that facilitates quick turnaround of specimens. Of the 832,875 lab tests performed in FY25, 558,296 were from outpatients. CHKD radiology services are also available to families at our CHKD facilities in Newport News, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Hampton, Norfolk and Virginia Beach. The radiology department is a fully integrated digital imaging center that allows diagnostic images and reports to be transmitted and viewed electronically. In FY25, 129,448 diagnostic exams were performed including X-rays, fluoroscopic tests, urodynamics and bone density tests, CT, MRI scans, ultrasound, PVL, PET scans, and nuclear medicine studies. Approximately 80 percent were outpatient based. CHKD's rehabilitative therapy services are offered in locations throughout the community, including Norfolk, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Newport News, and Williamsburg. In FY 25, CHKD provided 33,965 inpatient and 191,551 outpatient therapy units, which included highly specialized pediatric physical, occupational and speech therapy, as well as: * Aquatic Therapy - Physical and occupational therapists work with children in the water to help relax tight musculature, increase range of motion and improve strength, balance and endurance. * Assistive Technology/Augmentative Program - Services provided for children who are unable to communicate verbally or through gestures due to various medical conditions, thereby allowing them an alternative way to increase their participation and inclusion in daily activities. * Car Seat Program - Specially trained therapists offer car seat safety restraint evaluations for patients with special needs. * Wheelchair Clinic - Certified therapists complete a comprehensive evaluation to determine and prescribe the appropriate wheelchair and seating system. Section Three: Mental Health Services Since 2013, CHKD's Community Health Needs Assessments have indicated that the region's number one need in the children's health arena was improved access to pediatric mental health services. In response, CHKD formally expanded its mission to incorporate children's mental health services and began building a program to answer our children's most pressing mental health needs. Children's Pavilion, a 14-story pediatric psychiatric hospital and outpatient center that comprises 60 of CHKD's 266 licensed inpatient beds, is the hub of CHKD's growing mental health program. Since the launch of the program, CHKD has developed the essential framework of a comprehensive pediatric mental health network, with the goal of providing care in the least restrictive environment possible. Elements of this plan include the following: * Inpatient psychiatric care (1,237 discharges in FY25) * Emergency psychiatric care (3,027 visits to CHKD's Emergency Department were for mental health care in FY25) * Medical-psychiatric care. (682 discharges in FY25) * Partial hospitalization program (2,481 patient days in FY25) * Intensive outpatient program (1,297 patient days in FY25) * Outpatient mental health (48,000 visits in FY25) * Child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship Section Four: Community Outreach CHKD reached 26,316 families through parent education, school-based programs, social media, and publications focused on mental wellness, injury prevention, and family support. Partnering with community organizations, the Community Outreach & Engagement (CORE) program conducted 238 outreach events for 21,770 families. Online resources (blogs, podcasts, and webinars on demand) and I&R contacts reached an additional 4,546 families, covering topics such as mental health, trauma, and social-emotional learning. Community partners supported marketing and collaboration to deliver timely presentations and resources for parents, professionals, and children/students. CHKD is a site of the national "Reach Out and Read" literacy program, which encourages reading by distributing free books to children at their well child visits to their pediatricians. Through the donor-funded program, CHKD primary care pediatricians gave approximately 77,000 books to children in FY25. CHKD also has a "Reach Out and Read" program in our NICU, where 1,838 books were distributed in FY25. In FY25, CHKD's website, www.chkd.org, underwent a major transformation, migrating to new, open-source platform that is easier to manage and navigate. They also streamlined back-end content management and third-party integrations (e.g. scheduling, patient portals, donation tools), reducing maintenance overhead and improving data flow. Post-launch, the new platform delivered measurable gains: search and "provider-finder" tools significantly improved, user engagement rose, and visits to high-value pages (like Find a Provider, Urgent Care, billing, etc.) increased year over year. The site's updated design and info architecture enhanced navigation, making it easier for families and medical professionals to find essential information. Overall, the migration gave CHKD a scalable, secure, and flexible foundation - improving both the patient-facing experience and the internal content management workflow. CHKD continues to utilize social media outlets such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram to increase direct interaction with our patients and their families. The website continues to be a resource for our services and health information. |

Section Five: Medical Education and Research CHKD invests in the present and future health of our children through a variety of research programs and educational activities. Children's Hospital is home to Eastern Virginia Medical School's Department of Pediatrics and its pediatric residency program, where new physicians become specialists in the field of pediatrics. Many of our residents elect to stay and practice pediatrics in this community or in the state of Virginia. CHKD also serves as the exclusive pediatric teaching site for physician assistants and residents in family medicine, emergency medicine, obstetrics-gynecology, ENT, plastic surgery, and general surgery. CHKD participates in the education of all EVMS medical students and is the exclusive site for some 150 third-year medical school students for their six-week pediatric clerkship rotation. CHKD provides a setting for many clinical research trials. Highlights of the basic science research include new gene therapy for neuromuscular disorders, breakthroughs in treatment of cystic fibrosis, innovative therapies in sports medicine, advanced growth hormone treatments, and interventions for disordered sleep. In addition, research includes new medications and other therapies, clinical outcomes analyses, and epidemiological studies sanctioned by the Institutional Review Board of EVMS, part of the Macon and Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at ODU. There were 214 IRB-approved active funded studies in FY25. Topics of study included hematology/oncology, allergy/asthma, infectious disease, neurology, pediatric surgery, cardiology, otolaryngology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, child abuse, endocrinology, dermatology, neonatology and mental health. Many of these studies are phase three clinical trials that bring cutting-edge treatments to CHKD patients years before they are available to the public. This fiscal year there were also new phase one trials opened, which allowed our patients the earliest possible access to novel therapies. There is an increased focus on registry studies across all disciplines. Data collected in these registries is intended to standardize optimal levels of care and lead to improved patient outcomes. The Nuss Procedure for the correction of pectus excavatum, developed at CHKD more than 30 years ago, continues to draw national attention from both patients and surgeons. The Children's Surgical Special Group surgeons continue to refine treatment techniques, publish research and outcomes and present their work at national meetings to strengthen the care and understanding of chest wall anomalies world-wide. In addition to surgery, innovative therapies offered through CHKD's Nuss Center include non-surgical, non-invasive modalities such as state-of-the-art bracing for pectus carinatum and vacuum therapy for pectus excavatum. CHKD is a member of Children's Oncology Group, an international research group that conducts clinical trials for children with cancer. As a member, CHKD has access to the latest protocols for treatment of childhood cancer, providing the community and region with the best practices and treatment results from more than 225 COG-member hospitals in North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Saudi Arabia. Our primary goal is to increase participation in clinical trials which we feel will advance the field of pediatric oncology. In FY25, CHKD had approximately 90 COG studies including LTF studies open to enrollment or undergoing data analysis. In all, approximately 200 CHKD patients participated in either open or follow-up COG studies in FY25. The hematology/oncology division had 18 research studies open that were not COG studies. In FY25 CHKD hosted seven continuing medical education events in various locations throughout the region, helping child health experts in our region keep up with their skills and their accreditation. |
