Gratitude is more than just a word. It’s also a feeling we hope you sense as you read through the pages of this report.Whether you made a monetary donation, or took time to volunteer as a member of the Children’s Hospital Guild, Children’s Hospital Book Market, Teddy Bears’ Picnic, Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba Golf Tournament, Ice Crystal Gala or any of our various committees, thank you for working so hard to advocate for sick and injured children in their greatest hour of need. Through your generous support and community engagement, amazing things have happened.

From purchasing vital sign monitors, portable oxymeters, and wheelchairs, two bedside patient monitors, and surgical equipment to perform complicated ear and airway surgery for children like Lily. You are the cornerstone that allows these important pieces of equipment to be purchased.

From music therapy, to developing a physiotherapy program for babies with plagiocephaly, discovering tools to help parents identify wheezing, CHTV (the Children’s Hospital non-commercial, internal television station), and establishing the Patient Comfort Fund. The care you provide is everything to our children and their families.

From getting to the bottom of asthma, allergies, diabetes, heart disease, breathing, and genetics, researchers at the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba are leading and collaborating across many platforms to create a brighter tomorrow for children in Manitoba, and around the world.

This year saw growth in our major gifts program with the introduction of Innovators. Innovators is an exclusive

group that engages the next generation of philanthropists to aid the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba in funding the areas of most need, such as research, clinical advances, and patient care. Our thanks to board member, Carmyn Aleshka for leading this charge.

Special thanks to the 2017 Champion Child, Logan Quatember and his family for dedicating a year of their lives to be ambassadors for the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba. Logan traveled across Manitoba, Ottawa, and Florida representing over 130,000 sick and injured children that visit Children’s Hospital each year. He spoke at fashion shows, golf tournaments, motivational events, and numerous charity campaigns sharing his story to inspire. In doing so, he also raised over $25,000 to benefit the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Thank you, Logan! Thanks also to Walmart Canada and Air Canada Foundation for their ongoing sponsorship of this program.

When you see the strength, determination, and resilience of a child fighting to get better, it inspires all of us to do everything we can to continuously improve pediatric health care in Manitoba.

We encourage you to visit our website at goodbear.ca to witness inspiring patient stories and to see the ongoing impact of your support.

Lily before surgery

Lily is here because of donors like you.Just before Christmas of 2016, after a critical, life-saving delivery, Ashton and Jordan Kehler’s baby girl, Lily, was born. It would be seven days before their tiny daughter would finally take her first breath on her own, surrounded by the doctors and nurses who saved her life.

An early ultrasound revealed a small mass on Lily’s neck, which grew until it was the size of a large apple, and was ultimately crushing her airway. More than 15 doctors, nurses, and medical professionals helped to deliver Lily by a highly specialized surgical exit procedure.

Thanks to essential equipment and resources that you have provided, the medical team was able to stabilize Lily before she was fully delivered and the umbilical cord was cut. Seven days later, Dr. Darren Leitao operated to remove the mass and get Lily breathing on her own.

“It’s really scary when you hear your tiny baby needs to have surgery, you don’t know what to think,” recalls Ashton. “But the quality of Lily’s care at Children’s Hospital was phenomenal. Dr. Leitao wasn’t just there to do his job; he wanted to give our daughter the best chance to survive.”

It’s hard to imagine the precision and focus a surgeon like Dr. Leitao needs to operate on a tiny newborn baby. It requires sophisticated medical equipment provided by life-saving donors like you.

Ashton has great memories of how the staff went above and beyond the call of duty to make holiday time special for their young family.

“At Christmas they gave us a plaque with Lily’s footprint and a poem. And in February they gave us a Valentine’s card from her. Sweet little things like that made the holidays just a bit easier.”

Those precious moments would not have been possible without your support.

“We don’t know if Lily would be here if we didn’t have these amazing people and specialized equipment,” says Lily’s Mom. “The money donated saved our daughter’s life.”

Thank you for helping to save the lives of children like Lily.

THE WHY

Lily,S STORY


Lily during surgery, and after.


Did you know that Children’s Hospital is home to a Child Health Transport Team that attends to patients as young as 24 weeks gestation, weighing as little as 500 grams?Moving these tiny infants as safely as possible required an upgrade to the T1 Hamilton Ventilator, which utilizes the most cutting edge technology to protect our vulnerable babies, and you made that happen!

“Our previous and current BioMed ventilators have been in use for over 30 years,” says David Ramesar, Nursing Coordinator, Child Health Transport. “While a very reliable and sturdy piece of equipment, we could only ventilate our neonatal patients in a way which did not promote optimal ventilation or prevent complications. New state-of-the-art equipment allows our team to implement the most current ventilation strategies and optimize patient outcomes during transport.”

Servicing all of Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario, the Child Health Transport Team completed 330 trips in 2017, and that number is expected to grow. Safely transporting infants ranging from 24 weeks gestation to six weeks old, requires the most up-to-date equipment to deliver delicate and dedicated care.

“In the most severely premature infants, lung injury can take place in a matter of a few breaths,” says David. “This equipment will allow our team to ventilate our premature infants effectively and minimize lung damage.”

The tremendous support of donors like you has made these vital upgrades possible.

“Without donor support, we would not have the resources necessary for the ongoing care provided by Children’s Hospital-HSC Winnipeg and the Child Health Transport Team,” says Todd Mortimer, Registered Respiratory Therapist, Pediatric Transport Coordinator. “The support given to our team and the difference made by donors is nothing short of remarkable. Thank you!”

Because of you, our sick babies in need of transport have access to the most advanced equipment available, delivering the best outcomes for our tiniest patients.

THE WHY

Life Saving Medical Equipment


13-year-old Morgan Walker was having up to 10 seizures a day. He had them so often that the paramedics knew him by name.Morgan’s mother Meredith Walker said three years ago they started down the path for her son to have brain surgery, because no other treatments were helping.

“At that point, it was either going to British Columbia or Toronto for the surgery, there was nothing here,” she said.

Plans changed when Michael Schlater, Chief Executive Officer, Domino’s Pizza of Canada Ltd., and his wife Lilibeth presented a $2-million donation to the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba to create an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit for kids like Morgan.

Not only was this a donation of record proportion, but this would allow families to receive epilepsy treatments in their home province.

“After thirty-five years with Domino’s Pizza Canada, it gives us great pride to be able to pay back our success in the city where everything started. Knowing we had a special part in helping Manitoban children and their families to remain here is heartwarming,” he said.

Schlater too has epilepsy, and has been seizure free for six years since undergoing surgery.

In October, the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit was opened. The unit has two patient beds, a special monitoring unit, a separate room for patients to get and review EEGs, and two portable EEG machines. Not only was this unit made possible, but the program has allowed for two pediatric neurologists to be recruited and additional training provided to the health professionals that work in this area. The most important difference is that the Schlater’s donation allowed for more children to be seen, including Morgan, who was one of the first children to have surgery to treat his epilepsy.

Since then, Morgan has only had three minor seizures.

THE WHY

Making a difference Locally

Thank you to the Schlater family for helping care stay local so more sick children can be at home surrounded by loved ones.


THE WHY

Research

Thanks to your donations, ground breaking research is taking place right here in Manitoba that will have a huge impact on future generations.Manitoba has a high rate of asthma and allergy sufferers, which makes it the perfect place to house the revolutionary CHILD study.

The CHILD (Canadian Healthy Infant Longitudinal Development) study is providing a greater understanding of the root causes of allergies and asthma.

Over 3500 families with children born in 2010-2012 have been recruited from Manitoba (urban and rural sites), Vancouver, Edmonton and Toronto. The largest percent of participants are from Manitoba. The children and their families are monitored through frequent, extensive questionnaires. Children attend regular clinic visits for allergy testing, growth measurements, and cognitive assessment.

The CHILD study research team includes Meghan Azad, PhD, Canada Research Chair in Developmental Origins of Chronic Disease, Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba (CHRIM).

“Having been a study participant myself many years ago, I have always been interested in improving child

health through research,” says Dr. Azad. “The CHILD study provides an incredible opportunity to do this. It is unique in the world, allowing us to study multiple aspects of health and development. It’s fascinating and exciting to be at the forefront of this ground-breaking research!”

Studies have shown that in Canada 50% of children with asthma do not have good control of their asthma. Poorly controlled asthma can have a significant impact on a child's and family’s quality of life including; poor sleep due to coughing at night, the inability to concentrate at school leading to poor grades, missing school or other activities, and more emergency room/doctor visits.

Poorly controlled asthma in childhood can lead to chronic severe asthma and permanent changes in the lungs.

Because of your support, things are changing. Figuring out how triggers happen brings us one step closer to solving this chronic condition.

“Our families are incredibly dedicated to this longitudinal study, thanks in large part to the friendly staff and atmosphere at CHRIM, which is the CHILD Study’s home,” says Dr. Azad. “We couldn’t do it without the support of our amazing donors.”

Thanks to donors like you, critical, innovative research is helping to shed light on chronic conditions affecting a large portion of Manitoba’s children.


Change was needed to alter the way physiotherapy services were being delivered for babies with plagiocephaly and torticollis.

Because of your generous donations, the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba awards grants that are making a difference in the lives of children.

Last year one such grant was presented for the development and evaluation of changes to the way physiotherapy services are delivered for babies with plagiocephaly and torticollis.

Plagiocephaly is a flattening of the back/side of the skull, and torticollis is when neck muscle imbalances lead to a head tilt or rotation. Physiotherapists work with families on various ways to improve neck range of motion, strength and development.

This important project promises better outcomes with utmost efficiency.

“Prevention has an important role to play, but for infants referred to physiotherapy, earlier treatment leads to better outcomes,” says Kristy Wittmeier, BMRPT PhD, Physiotherapist, Child Health. “With rising referral rates, we need to understand how to provide quality physiotherapy services in the most efficient way. We also want to ensure that children referred to physiotherapy for other conditions are waiting as little as possible for services.”

In the past, the pediatric physiotherapy department treated about 50 infants per year for these conditions, but that number has ballooned to nearly 500. With your support, these babies will receive earlier intervention with the goal of avoiding long-term effects.

“There are different thoughts about what long term effects might be linked with plagiocephaly and torticollis,” says Corinne Sheffield, Physiotherapist and Project Team Member. “Some concerns are primarily cosmetic (head shape, potential facial asymmetry) which can affect the fit of eye glasses or sports helmets down the road. As part of treatment, some infants may go on to use custom-made helmets designed specifically for head shaping. With torticollis, a small number of more severe cases may eventually receive surgery to help fix the muscle imbalances.”

Because of you, this research, originating in Manitoba, is having an impact far beyond provincial borders.

“In mid-March, we had the opportunity to present a webinar on the work we have done so far,” says Dr. Wittmeier. “This was well-attended locally, and included 36 other sites from across Canada. We have learned so much from our Canadian colleagues and from international research on this topic, and yet there is still more work to be done.”

This life-changing work can only continue because of donors like you.“A huge thank you to the donors on behalf of our team,” says Dr. Wittmeier. “This grant has allowed us to reach out to colleagues from across Canada and learn from what others are doing. It has also provided support to more fully involve local parents in defining what changes make the most sense for our population. Finally, funding has allowed our busy clinicians to be very involved in this project. Combined, these factors will give us the best chances for positive and lasting change. Thank you!”

Your support means brighter futures for children in Manitoba and beyond!

Imagine if your perfect two-week-old newborn suddenly started to have seizures. Baby Karrma was rushed to Children’s Hospital-HSC Winnipeg, and a few hours later was transferred to the St. Boniface Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for children. It was quickly discovered that Karrma had contracted a virus which turned into viral meningitis. After a week in ICU, Karrma was admitted to Children’s Hospital-HSC Winnipeg to receive treatment for meningitis.

“Karrma and I lived at Children’s for five weeks,” remembers Mom Raelynn. “Karrma being sick was the worst experience I’ve ever gone through, but the nurses and doctors were amazing and made it the best possible environment for the both of us.”Meningitis attacked little Karrma’s brain causing not only seizures, but also brain damage. The extent of the damage would not be known until she recovered. Raelynn was prepared for the worst, including the potential inability to walk, talk, or hear.

Thanks to your donations to the Children’s Miracle Network, the outcome wasn’t so dire.

“I’m happy to say that although Karrma has some daily struggles with speech and behaviour, she is walking and running and very social,” reports Raelynn. “If it wasn’t for the amazing nurses and doctors at Children’s Hospital, I honestly don’t know where Karrma would be today. I owe so much to them and am so very grateful for everything they have done for me and my daughter.”

As a Dairy Queen employee, Raelynn always looked forward to Miracle Treat Day knowing that every blizzard she sold on that day would benefit a child in hospital. Since her daughter’s illness, the impact of the day has become immeasurable.

“It’s one thing knowing you’re helping sick children,” says Raelynn. “But it really hits home when you realize without Miracle Treat Day, maybe all of the things that helped your child get better might not have been possible. It’s important for people to realize that the more we help and donate, the better it will be for sick children and their families going through what is already a life-changing experience. I feel proud to be part of a business like Dairy Queen that really puts forth an effort to help kids in any way they can.”

Because of your support of the Children’s Miracle Network and their fundraising initiatives, kids like Karrma can look forward to bright, healthy futures.

Thank you Children’s Hospital Guild – over $100,000 raised! The Children’s Hospital Guild has always been the backbone of fundraising for the Children’s Hospital. Started in 1909 with the St. Agnes Guild and Alexandra Guild, followed by the St. John’s Guild in 1915, and the Earl Kitchener Guild in 1917, the Guilds made a substantial contribution to the needs of the Hospital.

Fast forward many years and the Guilds expanded and became one strong force to make a difference in the lives of sick and injured children in our province. The Nearly New Shop, the Children’s Hospital Gift Shop, Sew-4-Kids, Bear Essentials Fashion Show, Bake & Trinket sales and so many more activities are thanks to volunteers who continue to work tirelessly to support the children.

Thank you all!

CHILDREN,S HOSPITAL BOOK MARKET

The Best Book Ever Read The Children’s Hospital Book Market celebrated another successful year raising over $648,000 to support the commercial-free, internal television station, CHTV, the Family Information Library, and the Book Corner. Over 400 volunteers work vigorously throughout the year to make sure each sale is a huge success. If you ever visit their workshop, you see their smiles and dedication knowing that their hard work is providing so much joy to the patients and their families at the hospital.

“When my daughter needed surgery recently a Child Life Specialist told me about the Family Information Library.

The books about preparing my daughter for surgery were so helpful and really the day of her surgery could not have gone better! Thanks so much for all the great work you do!” – Angel

“We are frequent fliers to the hospital with appointments two to three times a month. We always have to coordinate our appointments around CHTV. We are grateful to CHTV as it provides him something to look forward to – a great distraction to what is going on in his little life.” – Chantel

Special thanks to St. Vital Centre, Dufresne Furniture & Appliances, City of Winnipeg Fire Halls, all the incredible volunteers, and you for supporting!
