As we observe our fifthanniversary, we realize that we’revery young as foundations go—but deeply rooted in thecentury-old tradition of caringthat was Saint Luke’s MedicalCenter. Along with the financialresources from the sale of thehospital, we have inherited thecommitment to serve thepeople that Saint Luke’sserved—to foster and enhancetheir communities, their health,and their well-being.

We are proud of the distancewe’ve traveled in those first fiveyears. In addition to awardingmore than $13 million toworthwhile communityprograms and projects, we havelaunched three major initiativesthat are validating Saint Luke’sFoundation (SLF) as truly a"foundation for the future."

We knew that ensuring regularand quality health care for allchildren would not be achievedthrough "quick fixes" so webegan our KidsHealth 2020initiative by convening adistinguished think tank toidentify and respond to the keyquestions in each of six priorityareas, and to define—in a seriesof best practices monographs—the implication of their findingsfor potential SLF-fundedinitiatives. Informed by thesestudies and in consultation with

the community, KidsHealth2020 will launch three modelprograms: early childhoodeducation and school readinessprogramming; a playground anda parent and child resourcecenter; and an asthma detectionand intervention program inpartnership with the ClevelandMunicipal School District. Withthe acquisition of a centrallylocated facility and the help of aprofessional design team toadapt it to our needs, thisinitiative is breaking new groundin promoting the physical,mental, and emotional healthcare of children.

Recognizing that the foundationof health is a strong, vibrantcommunity, we supported the18-month planning effort in Mt.Pleasant and the subsequentcreation of the Collaborativefor Organizing Mt. Pleasant,Inc., a non-profit corporationresponsible for implementing theplan and awarding small grantsto support projects in economicdevelopment, education, physicalenvironment, and communityand family empowerment. TheCollaborative’s first yearresulted in exciting programsthat are truly buildingcommunity from the inside out.

In the two-year-old HealthySmiles Sealant Program, inpartnership with Case Western

Reserve University School ofDentistry, the smiles are on thefaces of everyone involved:children, their parents andteachers, and the dental studentswho are finding new meaning intheir chosen profession. In 2002alone, 43,000 children in 50schools had dental exams, 11,100molars were sealed and anadditional 2,200 childrenreceived referrals for furthercare. More exciting, perhaps, isthe new light in whichyoungsters are viewing dentistsand students are viewing the fieldof public health and communitydentistry.

We invite you to explore theseinitiatives in greater detail in thepages of this annual report—andto visit us, either on our web site(saintlukesfoundation.org) or inour new quarters at 4208Prospect Avenue. We’re excitedabout our new home (which ispictured, in part and in whole,throughout this report)because—like Saint Luke’sFoundation—it has a rich historyand an exciting future.

An independent evaluation ofthe Collaborative and itsaccomplishments is inprogress in order to informthe community on theprogress of its plan and visionfor itself. The evaluation willalso help the organization as itmoves forward to enhance itscommunications efforts,including the creation of aweb site.

Plans for 2003 include furthersupport for Mt. Pleasantbusinesses and economicdevelopment–recruitment offaith-based organizations toencourage parentalinvolvement in theschools–creation of in-schoolcenters for communityeducation and the provision ofsocial services–and promotionof projects that will beautifythe environment.

The Collaborative continues toreach out to communityorganizations, agencies, andindividuals to become a partof Mt. Pleasant’s revitalization.

Saint Luke’s Foundationsupports the Collaborative asa key initiative andunderwrites communitygrantmaking in the convictionthat a healthy community isone that promotes economicdevelopment and educationalexcellence in an attractive, safeenvironment whereneighborhoods and familiesare empowered to envisionand achieve their own futures.

Proposals for funding areinvited for projects thataddress the Collaborative’sfour focus areas and

have potential for significantimpact on the Mt. Pleasantcommunity;

have clear goals, measurableoutcomes, and a plan forevaluating progress;

have community supportand involvement as well asthe organizationalleadership, staff, andinfrastructure to carry outthe project; and

have a reasonable budgetand the potential forcontinuation beyond initialCollaborative support.

When Saint Luke’s Foundation, incollaboration with CaseWestern Reserve University,launched this strategic initiative,it was clear that it would takemore than the traditional waysof delivering care to improvethe region’s child health status,which consistently rankedamong the nation’s lowest.Recognizing that there wouldbe no quick fixes here,KidsHealth 2020 convened amulti-disciplinary task force todefine best practices and develop a plan based on whatworks and what the communitywants. A product of their workis a six-volume series of mono-

graphs on the key elements ofcomprehensive child healthcare: 1) Child Primary Healthcare; 2) Chronic HealthConditions of Childhood;

3) Developmental Delay andSchool Readiness; 4) Mental,Emotional, and BehavioralHealth Issues; 5) HealthInsurance; and 6) SupportingInner City African AmericanFamilies.

These studies, which wereshared with the GreaterCleveland health and humanservices community, informedthe planning for KidsHealthinterventions in six target

areas:

early childhood developmentand school readiness,

chronic health conditions of childhood,

safe play and recreation,

mental, emotional, and behavioral health,

health insurance, and

family education and support.

Model programs are beinglaunched in the first threeareas:

To enhance school readinessand access to services, anearly childhood developmentand school readiness programis being developed to servechildren from birth to age 3.This program, based on cut-ting edge research in earlychildhood education, will helpto provide a firm foundationfor school readiness in veryyoung children.

To provide a safe play andrecreation area, a playgroundand parent and child resourcecenter is being designed toserve also as a gateway toother family services.Consultants with expertise inthe design of children’s playand learning areas areworking with the architect tocomplete plans for renovatingthe Carpenter Hall facility at135th and Kinsman. Thisfacility, leased on a long-termbasis from Mt. Pleasant NOW,will house this initiative, theEarly Head Start Program, andthe KidsHealth 2020 staff.

To improve access to servicesfor children with chronicasthma, an asthma detectionand intervention program,conducted in collaborationwith the Cleveland MunicipalSchool District and Mt.Pleasant elementary schools,begins this year withclassroom screenings andeducational programs atCharles Dickens ElementarySchool. Eventually all childrenbetween the ages of 5 and 10will be screened and, ifneeded, referred for

treatment.

Plans are underway to identify, incooperation with the com-munity, additional initiatives toaddress the other three targetareas: mental, emotional, andbehavioral health–health insur-ance coverage and utilization–and family and social support.

Other milestones for KidsHealthare its incorporation as an inde-pendent non-profit organizationand the recruitment of anExecutive Director, CarltonMoreland, who was formerlydirector of the Mt. PleasantNeighborhood Family ServiceCenter.

As KidsHealth 2020 designs andpilots new programs, it is notonly enhancing the health ofMt. Pleasant children—and theadults they will one daybecome—but also developingmodels of success that can bereplicated in similar communi-ties across the country.

HEALTHY SMILES

In this strategic initiative, the"healthy smiles" were sup-posed to be on the faces ofthe children receiving dentalexams and sealant, but in factthe smiles are evident oneveryone associated with theprogram—dental students,teachers, parents, and chil-dren. While it promotes bet-ter health for youngsters, theprogram is also opening newcareer paths for the partici-pating Case Western ReserveUniversity students. One,

Page 8: BUILT ON THE TRADITION OF CARING ANNUAL · COMMUNITY ON LOCAL ASSETS THROUGH COORDINATION, COLLABORATION, AND PLANNING Economic stability,educational resources,an attractive environment,and

who now plans to pursue amaster’s degree in publichealth after dental school,observed, "The experiencechanged my perspective onhow to practice dentistry. . . .Our care to the childrenwas not in applying sealants;it was demonstrating ourcompassion, support, andempathy."

Now in its second year, theHealthy Smiles Sealant Programhas sealed 11,100 molars(teeth that most often decay)–provided dental exams to4,300 children–and referredanother 2,200 for moreaggressive treatment. First-year students in a four-weekpracticum, along with second-,third- and fourth-year dentalstudents see children in theirschools throughout the year.In its first year, it reached 50schools, this year 75, and nextyear the program will operatein all 101 Cleveland elementaryand middle schools.

A collaborative venture withCase Western ReserveUniversity’s Department ofCommunity Dentistry, theprogram was hailed by the NewYork Times1 “as a model for‘town/gown’ relationships—asymbol of engagement with thecity, helping students both tounderstand the needs in poorcommunities and to help fillthat need." School officials,according to the Times, say theprogram is "a godsend."

Parents agree. One motherconfided that she hadvolunteered with the programbecause she wanted herdaughter, who was terrified ofthe dentist, to "have this gift."The dental student reassuredthe child, and when thetreatment was over, the littlegirl said, "That wasn’t bad at all.Thank you!"

To date, 140 students havecompleted the course inOutreach Preventive Dentistry,and many admit that theirexperiences in the schools haveopened their minds—both tothe problems in poorcommunities and to thechallenge of public healthdentistry. " Often I would askchildren when they had lastvisited a dentist," one studentrecalls. “ Most times, the answerwas ‘never.’ What reallytouched me was thatsometimes they knew they hada cavity and would even point itout to me."

"The sealant program gave methe real-life privilege of seeingthat the skill I am learning isnot only needed but in veryshort supply to many morepeople than I had thought," astudent observed. "The

program opened my eyes tothese people who need help. Ifelt, ‘Look how much I can be apart of, look at all the people Ican help, and look at all the funI can have doing it!’"

The Healthy Smiles SealantProgram grew out of two pilotprograms funded by Saint Luke’sFoundation to bring dentalservices into the schools. Thesuccess of the pilots led to theexpansion of the effort into astrategic initiative. Its long-term goal, in Dr. Lalumandier’swords, is to ensure that everyCleveland child has a ‘dentalhome’ and the same oral healthbenefits as a suburban child."Only then,” he says,“will ourwork be done.”

1Lewin,Tama. Universities learnvalue of neighborliness. NewYork Times. March 12, 2002.

“In this country, says Dr. James Lalumandier, chairman of community dentistry at CWRU and creator of the Healthy SmilesSealant Program, "80 percent of dental disease is in 20 percent of the children—and the children we see are the 20 percent.We hope to increase access for that 20 percent by encouraging more students to pursue careers in underserved areas, andfor some, the Healthy Smiles experience is doing just that."

Our new home, like Saint Luke’sFoundation, has a rich history and avibrant future.

Recently restored to its original ele-gance, the three-story Italianatestyle Kies Murfey House, now theheadquarters of Saint Luke’sFoundation of Cleveland, Ohio,reflects Cleveland’s own history ofgrowth and rebirth. Built in 1874, itrecalls the prestige of ProspectAvenue in the years following theCivil War when the streetcar line,detoured from Euclid Avenue,attracted scores of middle classfamilies to this quiet side street.Thehomes they built—like the KiesMurfey House—were among thefinest examples of 19th centuryarchitecture. Despite the impact ofthe industrial revolution, whichbrought plate glass windows andmass-produced woodwork to homeconstruction, the Kies MurfeyHouse still displays the intricatecraftsmanship of an earlier era inthe grand walnut staircase, thehand-carved sandstone lintels, hand-tooled foundation, marble fire-places, and plaster cornices.

The first owner, Lewis G. Kies, was aleading railroad man and served aswestern superintendent of theEmpire line, which was headquar-tered in Cleveland. When he diedin 1904, his funeral was held in thehouse. The second owner, Lewis A.Murfey, who purchased it in 1910,was considered a "dean ofCleveland banking." He became vicepresident of the Guardian TrustCompany.

By 1929, as the economy and theneighborhood declined, No. 4208became a rooming house. Twodecades later, a commercial store-front was added, and the buildingbecame a bakery and, later, a coffeeshop. With its purchase by MichaelChesler, who has rehabilitatedother nearby homes, the KiesMurfey House embarked on itsrebirth. The restoration, based onphotographs and architectural doc-uments, is now complete, and itsnewest occupants, Saint Luke’sFoundation, Gilberti StudiosInternational, Inc., and Living inCleveland, Inc., revel in a shared his-tory in Cleveland’s past and apromising role in its future.
