On behalf of the Blank Children's Hospital family of physicians, staff and volunteers, we are proud to present to you our 2011 Impact Report. The report details how we live our mission of providing family-centered healing, caring and teaching for patients, families and healthcare professionals across the state.

One of our biggest accomplishments in 2011 was the opening of our Developmental Center, which is located next to Blank Children's Hospital in our renovated Anna Blank Building. This was a dream many years in the making, made possible by philanthropic support from our community. Children who may need the services of the Developmental Center include children with autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, cerebral palsy, genetic disorders, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, and other developmental disorders. Babies born prematurely and toddlers with gait abnormalities may also receive diagnosis and treatment at the Developmental Center.

We thank you for your continued support of Blank Children's Hospital. Your support allows us to continue to grow our programs and services in order to help meet the unique health needs of children across the state.


Sincerely,
David Stark - President and COO
