INTRODUCTION

MESSAGE FROM CHAIRPERSON Dr. Honorine Ward

Dear Friends, Greetings on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Vellore CMC Foundation. This has been a historic and momentous year for Christian Medical College (CMC)! On August 12, 1918, Ida S. Scudder started the first medical college for women in India. We at the Foundation are thrilled to join in celebrating this Centenary year with CMC, which was once again recognized as the best private medical college in India. We honor the women who have made CMC what it is today, starting with its founder, Ida S. Scudder. On June 19th the Foundation celebrated the Centenary year with a musical evening at the Aicon Gallery in New York. CMC’s new director, Dr. JV Peter, his wife Dr. Jayanthi Peter, and associate director and ex officio Board member, Dr. Vikram Mathews, were the chief guests at the event. Dr. Peter, a talented pianist, his wife Dr. Jayanthi Peter, a gifted vocalist, and Ms. Sue Sobolewski, an accomplished professional pianist, delighted us with their musical performances. CMC and the Foundation continued the celebration of the Centenary year with the 7th Annual Ida S. Scudder Oration in Vellore on August 9th. The oration was delivered by Dr. Robert Fish, the closest living relative of Ida S. Scudder, in honor of his Aunt, Ida B. Scudder, who devoted much of her life to CMC. Dr. Fish has been a long-time supporter of the Low-Cost

Effective Care Unit and the Shalom dental clinics in Vellore, which he helped establish. In September this year, we welcomed John Riehl, our new Executive Director of the Foundation. John’s first major fundraising event at the Foundation is the culmination of the Centenary year, a Centennial Gala on December 13th. Chelsea Clinton and Dr. Anna Pulimood, current CMC Principal (Dean) and alumna, will be honored. Chelsea Clinton’s recent book, She Persisted Around the World, features 13 notable women, one of whom is CMC alumna Mary Verghese, founder of the Rehabilitation Institute at CMC. Everything we do is made possible because of your generosity, enthusiasm and dedication – thank you! Please continue to support the wonderful work at CMC, and together, we can make the next 100 years even better. Warmest regards,


MESSAGE FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR John Riehl

Dear Friends, It is with extreme pleasure that I share with you the 2018 Annual Report for the Vellore Christian Medical College Foundation. The remarkable dedication and collective efforts of the Foundation’s Board of Directors, the Friends of Vellore and the leadership team at the Christian Medical College in Vellore, have resulted in a year marked by significant advancements in academic opportunity, research in medical science and – most importantly – access to quality healthcare for the population of South India. During this centennial anniversary of Dr. Ida S. Scudder’s founding of the Christian Medical College (CMC), the Foundation has energized its donors (most notably, the Reform Church in America and the Scudder Association Foundation), to raise funds in support of CMC’s Department of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine. By doing so, we recognize the legacy of Dr. Mary Verghese, a notable alumna whose ability to overcome life’s most challenging obstacles and whose compassion for the physically-disabled were a reflection of her formal training at CMC under the tutelage of Dr. Scudder. The Foundation has also been hard at work with its donors and partners to ensure the success of other key initiatives in Vellore, India including: (1) the Low-Cost Effective Care Unit, (2) the Model Villages Tribal Program in Jawadhi Hills, and (3) the Level I Trauma Center in Kannigapuram.

While we are very proud of the progress made through the Foundation’s efforts, we remain ever mindful of the challenges and goals that lie ahead. As always, we will be responsible stewards of the financial resources with which we have been entrusted. The audited financial statements for 2017, presented within, are intended to provide you with a clear and accurate picture of our ongoing efforts to carry out that stewardship. Throughout 2018, we began laying the groundwork for a progressive and transformative future, setting the Vellore CMC Foundation on a course of greater collaboration and cohesiveness with its partners within the faith-based community, the North American CMC alumni association, the global Friends of Vellore and the Scudder family. As in the past, our ultimate objective is to support CMC Vellore in all of its endeavors as it “seeks to be a witness to the healing ministry of Christ, through excellence in education, service and research.” On behalf of the Foundation, its Board, and ever-growing network of partners, thank you for your continued support as we deliver on our commitment to ensure the ongoing success of CMC Vellore and the lasting legacy of Ida Scudder. Sincerely,

OVERVIEW

100 TH ANNIVERSARY It has been 100 years since Dr. Ida S. Scudder bravely and boldly started the Vellore Christian Medical College – the first all-women medical school in all of India. As CMC celebrates this historic milestone, it pays homage to the many faculty, alumni and students whose lives and work reflect CMC’s selfless motto, ‘Not to be ministered unto, but to minister.’ A CENTURY OF DISTINCTION: CMC’S DOMESTIC & GLOBAL REACH With more than 2.5 million patients visiting the institute annually, CMC has become one of the most favored destinations in India for those seeking high quality medical attention, as well as medical education. Since its founding, CMC has trained more than 3,800 doctors, 9,583 nurses and 2,700 postgraduates and super specialists; and it continues to be one of the top-ranked educational, healthcare and research institutes in the country. Globally, CMC is recognized for its unique model of delivering world-class treatment at the lowest possible cost, and its medical professionals are sought-after in some of the most eminent medical institutions in the United States, Europe and Asia. CMC offers an extensive range of undergraduate, postgraduate and higher specialty courses in medicine, nursing, allied health sciences and related disciplines. Its network of primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary care teaching hospitals is spread across six campuses in and around its main campus in Vellore. The combined 3,000bed multi-specialty medical institution has become synonymous with excellence and has received international fame. Not surprisingly, the institution is consistently ranked among the top Indian medical colleges by independent, as well as governmental agencies.

see beyond ethnic and religious differences, beyond prescribed protocols, beyond money, statistics or diseases – they see and care for people. For 100 years, a spirit of compassionate care has been fostered, one that sees each person as unique and treats patients from all walks of life with the same mindfulness, respect and love.

PRESERVING THE LEGACY OF DR. IDA S. SCUDDER: GOING BEYOND EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE CMC offers students a world-class education, but its training goes beyond academic rigor. Medical education at CMC instills resourcefulness, holistic assessment and out-of-the-box problem solving; a sense of empathy that admits and embraces the very human side of medicine; and wisdom that has been passed down over a hundred years – wisdom that sees the larger meaning in little things and serves tirelessly with grace and humility. CMC’s faculty, staff and students

India’s President, Ram Nath Kovind, who formally inaugurated the yearlong Centenary celebration of medical education at CMC in May 2018, praised these attributes. “Doctors need a sharp mind – but much more than that, they need a warm heart. CMC Vellore must continue to train doctors and nurses with warm hearts,” the President lauded. “Your institution and its achievements are a matter of pride for the entire country.” THE NEXT CENTURY OF EDUCATION AND SERVICE As CMC looks forward to the next century of education and service, Dr. Ida S. Scudder’s memory and mission will continue to be front and center. CMC will continue to train world-class medical professionals, engage in cutting edge

research, and collaborate with hospitals and universities throughout the world. The new Kannigapuram Hospital and Trauma Center, set to open in 2019, will provide life-saving care in a state-of-the-art facility, and CMC’s outreach and commitment to the poor will remain steadfast in fulfilling Dr. Scudder’s legacy – to leverage the gifts of knowledge, compassion and creativity, to care for all, every day.

DR. IDA S. SCUDDER, A WOMAN OF VISION Over the past 100 years, millions of patients and their families have benefited from Dr. Ida S. Scudder’s calling to serve. Her early vision was a simple one – to provide compassionate, quality care for all women regardless of religion or social standing. It was in these early moments that her life-long pursuit of service began, and where both her influence and legacy remain.

Medical professionals are drawn to work at CMC not only because of its medical education and front-line research, but also because of its ethos. Dr. Ida led by example, and the doctors and nurses at CMC today continue her call to serve with kindness and empathy. So renowned is CMC’s approach that a term has been used to describe it – the humanization of medicine. A recent article in The Hindu illustrates one daughter’s experience at CMC as her mother was being cared for after a tragic car accident. “The head of neurology spoke to me for nearly an hour about what was going on in my mother’s comatose brain. The spine surgeon sounded heartbroken when he told me my mother was no longer moving her fingers. And I saw these brilliant, topnotch doctors at one of India’s leading hospitals extend empathy to everyone alike without discrimination — I had never before encountered empathy as an institutional culture.” Dr. Ida would be proud.

Sometimes we are called to make decisions that could affect the very core of our being as an institution - decisions in situations that have never been faced here before. At those times, the vision of Dr. Ida serves as an inner guide. -Dr. Anna Pulimood

unwavering commitment to her calling, her joy in service, and her strong faith. Mary Verghese, MD (’46), world-renowned hand surgeon at CMC, is one of many.

Gagandeep “Cherry” Kang, MD, PhD (‘81) is a pioneering physician scientist who has made numerous contributions to scientific discovery. Her groundbreaking work in understanding infectious diseases has been recognized with numerous awards and honors. Over two decades, she has built a research program that has conducted key studies to understand enteric infectious diseases in impoverished communities, and her findings have had enormous implications for vaccines and other public health measures to thwart these infections. Currently on sabbatical from CMC, Dr. Kang is serving as the Executive Director of the Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI) in Faridabad, India. She is the only Indian woman to be elected to the American Academy of Microbiology. Dr. Anu Rose, MD (‘90) is a project director within the Community Health and Development Department (CHAD).

CHAD, she directs the Model Villages project in the Jawadhi Hills, a rugged terrain in Tamil Nadu, 37 miles from Vellore. The program provides affordable and accessible healthcare to approximately 80,000 people who have very poor access to medical treatment and other basic amenities due to the difficult terrain and the lack of health professionals willing to work in the hills. The ongoing work aims to improve health through direct medical interventions, support for economic and social development, education and advocacy training for rights. Others who carried Dr. Ida’s torch include Sister Delia Houghton, the first nursing superintendent at CMC, and Sister Vera Putnam, who saw the school of nursing advance into even higher standards. Dr. Kamala Vytilingam, MD the first of Dr. Ida’s students to become a professor at Vellore, served brilliantly as head of cardiology. And, of course, Ida “B.” Scudder, MD bearer of the immortal name, built the Department of Radiology into the finest in India, and always fulfilled the nobility and high purpose associated with the name of her aunt, Dr. Ida S. Scudder. Dr. Ida S. Scudder left a legacy that continues to touch millions of lives every year. She led a life of consecrated purpose, which has and will continue to inspire many for decades to come.

PROJECTS FUNDED IN 2017-2018 Every year, the Foundation and its partners fund numerous projects to advance research, promote academic opportunities, and to provide quality healthcare at the lowest possible cost. During the past year, CMC – through the Foundation’s financial support – also delivered aid to those affected by natural disasters.

KERALA FLOOD RELIEF In August 2018, the state of Kerala suffered the worst floods in decades. The Vellore CMC Foundation partnered with CMC to respond to the crisis and support local relief efforts. Hundreds of people lost their lives, and those who were displaced were housed in relief camps throughout the state. Through the generosity of Foundation contributors, $12,000 was raised for this effort. With these funds, the Emergency Department of CMC organized flood relief and medical aid for victims affected based on the needs conveyed by mission hospitals, as well as alumni. Six teams collected relief materials, including food, water, clothes, toiletries, and medicines, and were delivered to victims in Wayanad, Kottayam, Thrissur

The Vellore CMC Foundation is in lockstep with CMC on all of their initiatives, whether it be disaster related or other types of medical projects. $50,000 ANNUAL GRANT FOR JUNIOR FACULTY AND STUDENT RESEARCH The Foundation Research Committee continues to have a strong interest in giving access to training and opportunities for shared research projects. Beginning in 2016, the Foundation has made three annual grants of $50,000 to support the development and encouragement of research among junior faculty and students. The short-term goal of the grants is for the recipients’ research

1962

to be published in a journal within two years, and the long-term goal is to be an established faculty in that area of research in three to five years. FACULTY FELLOWSHIPS The Foundation has made Senior Training Fellowships for faculty a core initiative in recent years, funding four or more grants per year to senior faculty from Medicine, Nursing and Allied Health. During this past year, fellowships totaling $36,000 were offered to CMC doctors, permitting them to spend time at U.S. academic institutions to receive didactic and practical orientation in their medical specialties. Part of these funds were used to prepare CMC surgeons for the new Level I Trauma Center scheduled to open in Kannigapuram in 2019. This year, the recipients included: Dr. Rajinikanth (Plastic Surgery), Dr. Vivek Mathew (Neurology), Dr. Jacob Peedicayil (Pharmacology), Dr. Margaret Nirmala (Nursing), Dr. Joy Sarojini Michael (Microbiology), and Dr. Subramani, (Critical Care). Another recipient was Sister Jeyalindha, a CMC nurse who came to the U.S. for training in trauma care. The Scudder Association Foundation, a partner, Institutional Member and generous funder, has been a regular contributor to CMC’s core initiatives program through their annual gift to the Foundation.

CONSTRUCTION OF EXTENTION FOR THE MARY VERGHESE REHABILITATION INSTITUTE With support from donors going back to the early days of Dr. Mary Verghese, the CMC Foundation in 2018 was able to donate $52,000 for an extension at the rehab institute that will allow CMC to serve more patients, accommodate growing staff needs, and prepare for the increase in demand when the new Trauma Center is scheduled to open in 2019. FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR MODEL VILLAGES PROJECT IN THE JAWADHI HILLS Most of the tribal people who live in the Jawadhi Hills of Tamil Nadu are small-scale subsistence farmers or land laborers. Because of poor conditions, many migrate en masse to

find seasonal farming work in nearby districts, making them vulnerable to numerous health problems. The overall health, literacy and development indicators of the population are poor, and infant and maternal mortality rates are substantially higher than those in the rest of Tamil Nadu. In order to help improve the lives of those living in the Jawadhi Hills, the Model Villages Project was created to provide residents with comprehensive access to healthcare, clean water, hygiene and sanitation education, and social programs to improve their health and socio-economic status. Launched in 2016, the program now reaches approximately 30,000 people in two villages – Koiloor and Vallithathankottai - and has demonstrated improvement

1971

in residents’ feelings of dignity and community mindedness, and improvement in many socio-economic indicators across the spectrum. In order to fund ongoing support for the project, the CMC Foundation provided $35,000 in 2017 and $23,000 in 2018. A portion of these funds were used to support the installation of innovative, ecological and user-friendly toilets, both in homes and in select public spaces. The provision of toilets and clean water is the centerpiece of each Model Village. Demonstrated Success The progress in both villages is encouraging and demonstrates the hard work done by CMC and its partners. In the village of Koiloor, for example, all 100 households now have toilets, and all residents have access to potable water from newly constructed filter systems. Many families who were at the bottom of the economic order are now generating income by selling pigs and other animals. In the village of Vallithathankottai, toilets and wells have been built, farmers are learning organic growing techniques, and nurseries are being developed for organic orchards. Animal husbandry is helping farmers generate income, and social groups have been formed to empower individuals and families to address community concerns and problems.

More people die in road accidents in India than anywhere else in the world. The State of Tamil Nadu, where CMC is located, has the highest rate of road traffic accidents, traumatic injuries and related deaths in all of India. Despite this dubious distinction, there is no trauma center in the state, costing thousands of lives every year. CMC IS RESPONDING TO THIS NEED BY BUILDING A STATE-OFTHE-ART LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER AND 1500-BED SUPER-SPECIALTY HOSPITAL. Situated on its 88-acre campus in nearby Kannigapuram, the Center is part of a major expansion at CMC that addresses the growing need for clinical super-specialties, advanced research, tertiary care and more. Trauma surgeons and nurses have been awarded fellowships to visit the U.S. to train in American best practices, in the finest Level I Centers in the country. Currently, there are only two Level

When it opens in 2019, CMC’s new Center will be the only Level I trauma center in the south, serving more than 253 million people. In addition to providing life-saving care, the new Center will run a prevention and preparedness program that will have powerful safety messages for drivers, pedestrians and families. CMC will also join in the national effort to create a standard curriculum for Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT).

This year’s funding for the new Level I Trauma Center began with a gift of $40,000 from Dr. Jitendra Sisodia (‘51). This generous donation launched the Foundations Matching Gift Campaign and helped to raise an additional $38,000. Dr. Sisodia, former Director of Emergency Services & Trauma at Kingston Hospital in New York, was inspired by CMC’s Founder Dr. Ida S. Scudder. “The inspiration and motivation she ignited in me have been constant companions throughout my professional career.” His donation, given in memory of his late children, Sanjeev and Aroti Sisodia, inspired many CMC donors to follow his lead and give generously to the Campaign.

CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF MEDICAL EDUCATION In 1918, Dr. Ida S. Scudder established the Medical School for Women LMP (Licentiate Diploma in Medical Practice) at CMC with 18 young women. A hundred years have passed since then, and CMC looks back with gratitude, and looks ahead with hope and expectation. Countless students have trained in the portals of the Institution, carrying with them more than mere knowledge of radiology or pathology, optometry or oncology. Countless teachers have imbibed students with a sense of medicine as a calling. To commemorate this landmark occasion, CMC organized a series of meaningful events throughout the year. many other dignitaries accompanied the President. CMC Principal, Dr. Anna Pulimood, gave a moving address to those in attendance, giving thanks to God for His countless blessings over the past one hundred years. She highlighted the countless

ways in which the faculty and students of CMC have contributed to society, but stressed that CMC is not content with its rich heritage. “There is a constant striving to seek better ways to serve, to care and to teach.” ON JUNE 19, 2018 supporters of the Vellore CMC Foundation gathered in New York City to remember and honor the many teachers and pioneers who shaped the lives of generations of students. Vice Chair George Varughese welcomed CMC Director, Dr. J.V. Peter, Dr. Jayanthi Peter, and Associate Director Dr. Vikram Mathews. Dr. J.V. Peter, an accomplished pianist, played pieces that illustrated the impact of his musical pursuits throughout his life. Dr. Jayanthi Peter sang a beautiful devotional song in Tamil, accompanied by Dr. Peter on piano. CMC

ON AUGUST 9, 2018 the Seventh Dr. Ida Sophia Scudder Humanitarian Oration was delivered at CMC by Dr. Robert H. Fish, DMD, the closest living relative of Dr. Ida S. Scudder. A retired American dentist, Dr. Fish practiced for more than forty-three years and continues to use his professional expertise to serve the homeless and disadvantaged. In his Oration, he honored Dr. Ida Belle Scudder, the niece of Ida Sophia Scudder, and Dr. Fish’s aunt, with whom he was very close. He gave a moving account of her life and immense contribution in many fields at CMC. After delivering his oration, Dr. Fish announced the release

of a new book, One Step at a Time - the Birth of the Christian Medical College Vellore, written by Dr. Reena M. George (’85), alumna and professor of Palliative Care at CMC. ON MARCH 3, 2018 a concert by Chennai-based group, Themes and Variations, was held at CMC to support the Centenary Scholarship Fund. The Fund, one of the various initiatives undertaken this year to mark 100 years of medical education at CMC, has been set up to help promising young women from disadvantaged backgrounds in Vellore to pursue health-related courses. ON DECEMBER 13, 2018 the culmination of the centenary year of celebration will take place in New York City. Both Chelsea Clinton and Dr. Anna Pulimood will be honored at this special event organized to raised funds to support the ongoing success of the Mary Verghese Institute of Rehabilitation. The significance of these Centenary events, and many others planned throughout the year, is profound; one hundred years since a fearless Dr. Ida S. Scudder started the medical school with an opening enrollment of just 18 young women; a hundred years of service and education, enabling CMC to become the premier training and treatment institution in all of Asia.
