Texas Children’s Marketing team created a beautifully designed website commemorating the five-year anniversary of the opening of Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women.

A few months prior to the hospital’s 5-year milestone, the Marketing team – Internal Communications, Public Relations and Web – collaborated with the Pavilion for Women Administration team to develop the content for the website.

“To celebrate the hospital’s first-year anniversary, we featured Molly Struzik posing with her first birthday cake,” Marketing Specialist Emily Lamport said. “Leveraging on this concept, we decided to feature Molly again to show just how much she has grown in five years to parallel the 5-year growth and success achieved at the Pavilion for Women.”

The 5-year anniversary website contains other commemorative elements:

  • Five-year timeline spotlighting Pavilion for Women key milestones
  • By the Numbers
  • Photo gallery
  • Video reflections of what the Pavilion for Women means today

The successful completion of this project would not have been possible without the collaboration from our talented Creative Services team, who meticulously designed the website, and our photographers who provided the compelling imagery for the website.

“As part of our Pavilion for Women 5-year anniversary marketing campaign, we used multiple vehicles to drive traffic to the website including print ads and social media posts,” said Lisa Yelenick, director of Service Line, Community and Brand Marketing.

Dr. Melissa Carbajal, Neonatology faculty (center), congratulates third-year fellows Drs. Shweta Parmekar (from left) and Sarah Coors, as the 22nd annual Arnold J. Rudolph Memorial Grand Rounds award recipients. The award recognizes third-year fellows in neonatal-perinatal medicine for outstanding teaching, patient care, scientific inquiry and professional integrity. Dr. Steven Block (right), professor emeritus of pediatrics, Wake Forest School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was this year’s visiting professor and invited speaker at the grand rounds.

The Arnold J. Rudolph Memorial Grand Rounds was established in 1996 by the Section of Neonatology, in the Department of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine, in memory of its late Section Chief, Dr. Arnold J. Rudolph, who died in 1995. Dr. Rudolph was a well-respected clinician and educator, recognized internationally as a leader of neonatology.

The Baylor College of Medicine Department of Pediatrics and Texas Children’s Hospital hosted the 2017 Pediatric Fellows’ Research Symposium on March 21 at the Pavilion for Women Conference Center.

Dr. Huda Zoghbi, director of the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute, provided the keynote research presentation, “Protein Levels and Neurological Diseases: Insights and Opportunities.” Besides advancing our understanding of the genetic causes of spinocerebellar ataxia and Rett syndrome, she has been instrumental in other important neurological medical breakthroughs including her recent discovery of how lowering toxic levels of tau in the brain could potentially lead to new therapies to reverse or prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

Dr. Will Parsons, director for the Center for Precision Oncology at Texas Children’s Cancer Center, followed with the keynote scholarship presentation, “Precision Oncology: Deconvoluting One Trainee’s Path from the Bench to the Clinic.”

This year’s research symposium included more than 135 poster presentations from pediatric fellows and included an awards presentation featuring the top four abstracts submitted this year:

  • Bile duct ligation induces ATZ globule clearance in a mouse model Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

Dr. Zahida Khan

  • Respiratory severity score on day of life 15 is higher in premature infants requiring mechanical ventilation at day of life 60

Dr. Matthew Maruna

  • Pharmacogenomic association with neurotoxicity in Hispanic children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)

Dr. Claire McClain

  • Inflammatory regulation promotes angiogenesis in chronic renal diseases models

Dr. Xinyi Wang

A fellows’ workshop session was offered as well. Dr. Eric Williams, associate professor of Critical Care at Baylor and Texas Children’s chief medical information officer, led the session on Innovation.

The symposium is an important forum for sharing research results and achievements, as well as for networking and establishing new collaborations. The symposium provides a venue to address topics that may be relevant to the trainee’s career development as they transition to more advanced or faculty positions.
