16. It was the rst major milestone
for Duke Children’s Hospital,
but only the beginning
of our in uential story.
17. In the 1960s, Dr. Madison Spach
performed one of the rst pediatric
cardiac catheterizations.
18. In the 1970’s Dr. Thomas
Kinney initiated a program
to screen babies for sickle
cell anemia.
The program has since
been implemented across
the United States.
19. By the 1980s and 1990s, Duke Children’s was
making a di erence around the world.
20. Dr. Robert DeLong designed a clever way to
add iodine to irrigation water in rural China.
21. His work has spared thousands of children
from the dangers of iodine de ciency.
22. Dr. Rebecca Buckley pioneered
the use of marrow transplants
to give SCIDS patients
a healthy, functioning
immune system.
23. Researchers at Duke have developed new
methods to protect the brain, heart and
lungs of infants undergoing heart surgery.
24. These are now standard procedures
at most pediatric heart surgery centers.
25. Dr. Catherine Wilfert led the
trial that demonstrated AZT
prevents HIV transmission
from mothers to babies.
26. Thanks to her work,
HIV transmission from
mother to child has
plummeted worldwide.
29. We continue to invest in leading
research programs focused on:
Infectious Diseases
Childhood Cancers
Birth Defects
Brain Tumors
Childhood Obesity
Food Allergies
Childhood Diabetes
30. Thanks to a procedure developed by Dr. Louise
Markert the diagnosis of DiGeorge Syndrome
is no longer a death sentence.
34. Dr. Y.T. Chen and Dr. Priya
Kishnani have developed an
enzyme therapy treatment
for Pompe disease.
Before treatment existed,
these babies didn’t live to
see their rst birthday.
35. In 2003 Duke Children’s established
the Duke Food Allergy Initiative (DFAI)
36. Dr. Wesley Burks and his team have made strides
toward developing a peanut allergy vaccine.
46. Demand for our services is increasing.
Each day is a balancing act to accommodate
as many families as we can.
47. Duke Children’s needs to grow
in order to advance research on children’s
health and provide hope to children in our
community and around the world.
48. While this is our story,
it’s far from the whole story.
49. Our story is just one part of
millions of much bigger stories.
50. The stories of brave
children and families
whose lives we touch.
