Direct Connection to Policy Area 1 of The Illinois Commitment St. John’s Children’s Hospital Southern Illinois University - School of Medicine What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? Children’s hospitals promote the health and well-being of children and their families through patient care, education, research, and outreach programs organized around the health needs of children. These hospitals feature physicians trained and experienced in a wide variety of pediatric subspecialties, specialized pediatric nursing and other skilled professionals, and unique programs dedicated to children’s health. Prior to the establishment of the St. John’s Children’s Hospital, no academic medical center-based children’s hospital program existed in the Springfield and southern Illinois area. Description of the effective practice: The St. John’s Children’s Hospital is a collaborative effort of St. John’s Hospital, Springfield, and SIU School of Medicine to expand and improve children’s health care services, education, research, and outreach for the communities of central and southern Illinois. Since its inception in 2004, the Children’s Hospital has attracted pediatric subspecialists in ambulatory pediatrics, neonatology, critical care, cardiology, pulmonary medicine, gastroenterology, neurology, orthopedics, plastic surgery, and hematology/oncology. More subspecialists are being recruited now. Many of these pediatric subspecialists are recognized nationally and internationally for their clinical expertise and research endeavors. Patient care services for children have greatly expanded, and coordination of their care has greatly improved. In addition to improvement in patient care, medical education and research programs have been enhanced. The medical school’s Department of Pediatrics is the academic home of the Children’s Hospital, and SIU’s chair of Pediatrics serves as the medical director of the Children’s Hospital. How does this practice achieve sustainability? St. John’s Hospital and SIU School of Medicine signed a formal Letter of Intent in April 2004 to establish the Children’s Hospital. Both institutions have allocated funds to recruit pediatric subspecialists, and St. John’s Hospital is investing in pediatric clinics, equipment, and programs. The St. John’s Children’s Hospital is now a member of the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions, the national association of pediatric hospitals and health systems. The medical school designated children’s health as one of its “Centers of Excellence” programs, a designation that reflects the importance of this critical program to the University and the region. This program supports Southern at 150: Building Excellence Through Commitment aspirations for service in the region and cooperative ventures supporting development. What are the results/measurable outcomes? Outcome measures include: counts of pediatric patients served, the comprehensiveness of pediatric subspecialty services provided, numbers and varieties of outreach and community programs conducted, and the amount and breadth of research performed by the Children’s Hospital.

Direct Connection to Policy Area 1 of The Illinois Commitment Students In Free Enterprise Fair Market Coffee Project North Central College What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? North Central College is committed to graduating principled and productive citizens and leaders. The SIFE coffee project allows our students to experience the actual operation of a small business in the context of selling a product whose production does not exploit third world workers. Description of the effective practice: Our business was established in January 2004 and has sold over two thousand pounds of coffee. After completing our market research, we determined that there was an untapped market for the product. After two years of selling prepackaged coffee, we now complete all functions of the business. We branded our coffee as “Conscious Bean” and have begun developing name recognition. After our coffee is locally roasted, we weigh, flavor, grind and bag the coffee at our facilities. To gain an understanding of our suppliers and explore potential product expansion, NCC SIFE students traveled to Guatemala. Focus groups have been used to determine the feasibility of importing jewelry, chocolate, and textiles. NCC’s Best is truly an interdisciplinary project that crosses boundaries and attracts individuals from all areas of the campus and community. This project has joined those who are committed to social justice with those who are committed to the free market system to the common grounds. Students and faculty from 15 different disciplines have joined in various aspects of the project. Students majoring in art, political science, and accounting traveled to Guatemala and worked together in a project where business and How does this practice achieve sustainability? The project is a real business and is self-supporting. What are the results/measurable outcomes? We are currently selling over 100 pounds of coffee monthly. The NCC’s Best project has also been the catalyst for campus discussion as faculty reading groups and courses have been developed with this project as the basis.
