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

4. 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
