    Beginnings of the Enduring Partnership between Indiana University and Riley Children’s Health, 1916-1924
    (Riley Children's Health, 2020) Schreiner, Richard L.; Stroup, Karen Bruner
    The James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association (now the Riley Children’s Foundation), Indiana University, and the Indiana Child Welfare Association, worked together to advocate for passage of legislation that was passed by the 1921 Indiana General Assembly to appropriate state funds to support the building and operations of the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children. This legislation created the Joint Executive Committee charged with the mission to supervise the building and operations of the hospital. This is the first of four photo displays to be presented through this project.

    Enduring Contributions of Indiana University Presidents and Leaders to the building and growth of Riley Children’s Health through the Riley Children’s Foundation
    (Riley Children's Health, 2020) Schreiner, Richard L.; Stroup, Karen Bruner
    Indiana University Presidents have played significant and consistent leadership roles in the history of the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children. Through involvement in the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association (now the Riley Children’s Foundation) since its beginnings in 1921 to the present day, Indiana University Presidents have been steady, strong, and dedicated voices for building, expanding, and enhancing the hospital’s capabilities to care for children from the Hoosier state and beyond. Through the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association (now the Riley Children’s Foundation), Indiana University Presidents and other university leaders like James W. Fesler (Trustee, 1902-1936 and Board President, 1919-1936) and Indiana University First Lady Laurie Burns McRobbie (2018 appointment, Riley Children’s Foundation Board of Governors) have contributed their knowledge, expertise, resources, and vision to the betterment of the hospital. Indiana University President William Lowe Bryan and President Herman B. Wells set the standard for this enduring leadership. This is the second of four photo displays to be presented through this project.

    A history of the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana, 1980-2004
    (2012) Mize, Christopher S.; Scarpino, Philip V.; Dichtl, John R., 1965-; Morgan, Anita A.
    On October 18, 1982, the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana (RMHI) opened near downtown Indianapolis on the campus of Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI), located within walking distance of the prestigious Riley Children's Hospital. The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) concept represented an almost perfect intersection between philanthropy and families in need. Creating the RMHI offered the opportunity for individuals, corporations, and benevolent organizations to come together and build a "home-away-from-home" for the families of sick children. When the RMH idea arrived in Indianapolis in the late 1970s, a group of collaborators representing the McDonald's corporation and restaurant owners, Riley Hospital, IUPUI, and the Indianapolis community banded together to make it a reality. On October 18, 1982, after nearly three years planning, fundraising, and construction, the RMHI's advocates and their supporters celebrated the successful opening of Indiana's only RMH. After this momentous occasion, the RMHI's board of directors and their community and corporate partners worked throughout the 1980s and 1990s to sustain, operate, and expand the home they created for the families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at Riley.

    James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children: 1924-2024
    (Ruth Lilly Medical Library, 2024-09-11) Schreiner, Richard L.
    Presentation slides for lecture delivered by Richard L. Schreiner, MD (Edwin L. Gresham Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics, Indiana University School of Medicine; retired Chair of Pediatrics and Physician-in-Chief, Riley Hospital for Children) on September 11, 2024. In celebration of Riley Hospital for Children’s centennial anniversary, this talk examines the hospital’s one-hundred year history, from the death of its namesake, Indiana poet James Whitcomb Riley, to the establishment of the hospital and the people who made it possible. Important figures, accomplishments, and details about the hospital’s dramatic growth from the 1920s through the present are discussed.

    Predictors of Disease Severity in Children at Riley Hospital with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C)
    (2021-07-30) Collins, Angela J.; Rao, Megana; Khaitan, Alka K.; Bhumbra, Samina S.
    AUTHORS: Angela J. Collins, MPH, BS(1); Megana Rao, BS(1); Alka K. Khaitan, MD(2); Samina S. Bhumbra, MD(2) AFFILIATIONS: (1) Indiana University School of Medicine. (2) Ryan White Center for Pediatric Infectious Disease and Global Health, Department of Pediatrics, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana. ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is a novel condition temporally associated post-SARS-CoV-2-infection. The associated inflammation injures various organs (mainly cardiac and gastrointestinal) and can cause ventricular dysfunction and/or coronary aneurysms, potentially leading to death. This project assessed how lab trends may predict disease outcomes of MIS-C patients at Riley Hospital for Children (RHC). METHODS: Five lab values (intake procalcitonin, platelet count nadir, absolute lymphocyte count nadir, sodium nadir, troponin-I peak, CRP peak) were assessed as potential predictors of MIS-C severity. Patient demographics (age, sex, race, ethnicity), prior medical history (chronic conditions, obesity), and clinical presentation (days of fever prior to admission) were also assessed as potential predictors of MIS-C severity and lab peaks/nadirs. Indicators of MIS-C severity included PICU admission, length of hospital stay, left ventricular ejection fraction (EF), and abnormal coronary artery findings on echocardiogram. Chi-Square, ANOVA, linear regression, and logistic regression models were completed in SAS9.4 to assess for correlation (α=0.05). RESULTS: 66 MIS-C patients, aged 9 months to 18 years (mean=8.7 years), were admitted to RHC May 2020-April 2021. 61% were male (n=41). All patients presented with fever. Average length of stay at RHC was 5.9 days. 47% (n=31) were admitted directly to the PICU and 15% (n=10) were transferred to the PICU during their hospital course. Race predicted sodium nadir (p=0.0363), ethnicity predicted intake procalcitonin (p=0.0007), and obesity predicted CRP peak (p=0.0055). Age predicted abnormal EF (p=0.0206) and abnormal coronary outcome on echocardiogram (p=0.0365). Sex and obesity also predicted abnormal coronary outcome on echocardiogram (p=0.0182 and p=0.0478, respectively). Troponin-I peak predicted abnormal EF (p=0.0035) and CRP peak predicted days of hospital stay (p=0.0096). CONCLUSION & IMPACT: CRP peak is predictive of days of hospital stay and may inform hospital course. Analysis of additional lab values may reveal additional predictors of disease severity to inform clinical care.

    The Care, Cure, and Education of the Crippled Child: A Study of American Social and Professional Facilities to Care for, Cure, and Educate Crippled Children
    (International Society for Crippled Children, 1924) Abt, Henry Edward
    Pages 24-25, 78, and 95-96 of this report mention the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children. Page 93 discusses the Jesse Spalding Public School for Crippled Children in Chicago (designed by architect Dwight Heald Perkins and which opened in 1908), one of the country’s first day schools exclusively for children with disabilities. The school was named in honor of the father of Jessie Spalding Walker Landon, wife of Hugh McK Landon, first President of the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association. Jesse Spalding was a philanthropist and leader in Chicago’s lumbering industry
