THE CHILDREN’S MIRACLE NETWORK TELETHON 1986 The Children’s Miracle Network Telethon didn’t just promise miracles in 1986; it made them hap- pen! In a 22-hour live television broadcast, the University Children’s Hospital at Hermann (UCHH) raised $623,360. Included in that total was $250,000 contribution from the Hermann Hospital Estate, which was specifically designated for charity care. A telethon finance committee made up of medical directors, hospital administrators, telethon directors, executive committee members, and board of trustee representatives considered many alternatives before deciding where best to spend these important dollars. Although the money went to different areas of UCHH, each project shared one common goal: to help children of all ages live happy, normal lives under difficult and seemingly abnormal cir- cumstances. Special playground equipment was designed for the Children’s Terrace on the third 28 Features floor of the Jones Pavilion and is particularly designed for handicapped children with ramps and wide walkways so that children in wheelchairs can climb aboard as well. Some of the telethon money went to helping send many children to a special hemophilia camp so that these children can learn how to play safely. Other programs also saw some of the telethon money. An elemental diets program received funds so that those children requiring special diets may continue them after discharge. Telethon money helped to furnish three rooms for parents to use to sleep over and be with their children. Literature for parents on home care for their children as well as information on their child’s illness also received funding. Telethon money has also provided for funding of fellowships in neonatology as well as a multi- volume children’s library located on 3 Jones Pavilion. 22 VCISILV a) drewe, ‘spite versity Hous
