1 THE JUNIOR BOARD OF CHILDREN S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION requests your support for Written in the Stars The 2018 Children s Hospital Foundation Ball NOVEMBER 2, 2018 CHILDREN S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION is dedicated to funding and advocating for pediatric initiatives that improve the status of health care and the quality of life for children in our region. The Foundation provides support for the programs of Children s Hospital of Richmond at VCU and the children it serves each year.

2 This year s Ball will support the relocation of a pediatric dental clinic to Children s Hospital of Richmond at VCU s (CHoR) Children s Pavilion. The future of integrated pediatric health care includes the incorporation of dental care as an important component of the overall health and well-being of children. By relocating the dental clinic to the Pavilion, where all pediatric outpatient services are located, parents will be able to easily coordinate multiple visits to physicians and their child s dentist in one central location. The need for primary dental health care in Virginia is significant. Only 53% of Virginia children on Medicaid, ages 1 to 20, have received preventive dental services, which equates to 233,000 eligible children in need of, at a minimum, preventive dental care. Funds from the 2018 Ball will be used to purchase new dental exam chairs, equipment and supplies needed for the clinic to be fully functional. Dental clinic visits are expected to increase by 20% following the move. Thanks to your support, more children will have the opportunity to receive regular, convenient, preventive care and learn about the value of oral health in their lives.

6 Jackson Thompson Six-year-old Jackson Thompson used to get so upset when he saw someone wearing a white coat or hospital scrubs that medical appointments were stressful for him, his parents and his medical providers. Adopted from China in 2015, Jackson had multiple medical needs including cleft lip and palate when he came home to Richmond. His parents, Keith and Susan, who also have a 7-year-old son with cleft lip and palate who is followed through Children s Hospital of Richmond at VCU s (CHoR) Center for Craniofacial Care, brought Jackson to the Center s multispecialty clinic soon after returning to Richmond. Jackson became more stressed every time he met a new specialist until he met William O. Dahlke, Jr, DMD, Chair, Department of Pediatric Dentistry, and Associate Professor, Department of Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Dahlke just looked like a dad, Susan recalled of how he was dressed in a shirt and tie. He did whatever Jackson needed to feel comfortable including playing music and giving him more time for the exam. One of the specialists on the Center for Craniofacial Care s Cleft Lip and Palate Team, Dr. Dahlke initially provided routine dental care to Jackson, who is also autistic and has feeding difficulties, in the operating room under general anesthesia because of Jackson s fears. Within six months, Jackson was able to receive care outside of the operating room through the dental clinic on CHoR's MCV Campus. The key to working with Jackson is to adapt to whatever behaviors will work best for him and make him the most comfortable, said Dr. Dahlke. I always avoid wearing scrubs or a white coat and will do my exam in any location that he is willing to let me. That may be in the dental chair, sitting in his mother s lap or even sitting on the floor. Jackson is an energetic kindergartener who loves to run in his family s Hanover County yard, paint and play with magnetic blocks. He enjoys snuggling with his older sister, Grace (pictured above with Jackson), uses sign language to communicate and flashes a bright smile when asked how he feels about Dr. Dahlke. Over the years, Jackson has received dental sealants and routine cleanings at CHoR. He hasn t had any cavities, but if he does, Dr. Dahlke will be ready Brook Rd Richmond, VA (804)
