through generous contributions. The incorporation
of devices such as these has enabled Mt. Washington
Pediatric to evolve with the times, yet still provide
the highest quality health care since 1922.
As we continue to advance in meeting the needs of
our region’s children, we see an increasing demand for
services in such areas as our Sleep Clinic, which helps
in the diagnosis of serious but treatable conditions
like sleep apnea, and our Developmental Pediatric
Services, which provide testing and evaluation of
behavioral and psychological conditions such as
attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),

A Lifelong Love for Pediatrics
    It seems Dr. Lawrence C. Pakula has been preparing
    for his role as chairman of Mt. Washington Pediatric
    Hospital’s Board his entire life. As the son of a pe-
    diatrician in Kansas City, Dr. Pakula had an early
    exposure to medicine. He decided to follow in his
    father’s footsteps, serving his internship and residency
    in pediatrics at Johns Hopkins.

    Upon completion, he was drafted into military service
    and served as Chief of Pediatrics at Clark Air Force
    Base in the Philippines. During the Vietnam-era
    buildup, Dr. Pakula’s patient population grew rapidly,
    from two thousand to 10 thousand youngsters.

    As he treated the children of military families strug-
    gling with the stresses associated with separation,
    injuries and deaths, Dr. Pakula became determined
    to focus a significant portion of his practice on
    treating behavioral and developmental disorders in
    addition to general pediatrics.

    “I love being a pediatrician,” says Dr. Pakula. “I can’t

Upon completion, he was drafted into military service and served as Chief of Pediatrics at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. During the Vietnam-era buildup, Dr. Pakula’s patient population grew rapidly, from two thousand to 10 thousand youngsters. As he treated the children of military families strug- gling with the stresses associated with separation, injuries and deaths, Dr. Pakula became determined to focus a significant portion of his practice on treating behavioral and developmental disorders in addition to general pediatrics. “I love being a pediatrician,” says Dr. Pakula. “I can’t 2 imagine being in any other field of medicine.” hospital’s boards and inspiring a new cadre of Dr. and Mrs. (Sheila) Pakula have a long record of hospital supporters.
