  1. Would be awesome if Riley would pay their nurses and support staff better wages. They are 100% understaffed and many are leaving for other local healthcare providers due to poor working conditions and low pay. Plenty of money to donate to IU and top managment, but not support staff. Totally ridiculous.

    1. Riley Children’s Foundation is an independent organization from Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health. The latter is who decides upon compensation of nurses and other health professionals who work at Riley Hospital.

      As an employee of neither, and a Indy parent of a child with a chronic illness, I am so glad to see this underfunded area of research receive support! And, I wholeheartedly agree with you that employee compensation is important. The two must each move forward.

  2. “The idea is to shine a light on the role of nutrition in children’s health,” Dr. Christina Ricks said in written remarks. “Optimal nutrition is needed for growth and development, as well as long term overall health and wellbeing. Nutrition certainly impacts many conditions, from anxiety and depression to chronic diseases. This is such an exciting area of investigation that extends from the bench research of the microbiome to the social science of behavior change.”
    Really….u are kidding me right. So money is donated and it is to research something we already know…and high light it. Lilly needs to think through these things instead of making themselves feel better about what they are doing. That model and motivation is exactly what has gotten us, or not solved the problems giving rise to the issue. We don’t need to know another damn thing about the impact of poor nutrition. And we certainty don’t need to “highlight it”. All we will get is another study that says everything, concludes everything about the REASONS for poor nutrition except the real reason. I have seen it over and over and over again. It’s one of the curses of having lived as long as i have. We all dance around it, pretend it is not there, spend inordinate amount of money not saying it…in every facet of life…business, education, health care it doesn’t stop. I still remember the study in which they concluded a strong correlation, almost direct correlation, between lung cancer and coffee consumption. Not cigarette smoking, coffee consumption. The thought of determining how many cigarette smokers also consume coffee never occurred to them. And we are about to get another “highlighted” program or study. Come on Lilly, have some guts, all you are doing is funding your feelings and some unemployed scientist. You are doing nothing to move the needle. Sleep well.
