The hospital admitted 38 children in its first year, and Episcopal bishop Thomas Jaggar, president of the board of trustees, reported that it offered its young patients "the best medical and surgical treatment" as well as "the tenderest care"--a description as true today as it was 125 years ago.

Download or read book The Children s Hospital of Philadelphia written by Madeline Bell and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia started thanks to a heroic doctor's inspiration, was the first of its kind and still impacts children's lives today. The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia opened its doors in 1855 amidst a turbulent time in the city. Dr. Francis West Lewis, a prominent Philadelphia physician, was deeply disturbed by the appallingly high mortality rate among infants and children in his city, a result of the poor sanitary conditions in the urban slums that arose in great numbers during the Industrial Revolution. After visiting London for the opening of Great Ormond Street Hospital, Dr. Lewis was inspired to open the first children's hospital in the United States in Philadelphia and advertised in the Public Ledger, "Reception of children suffering from acute diseases and accidents will be received free of charge." The Children's Hospital continued to prosper and lead the advancement of children's health by creating many of the nation's first pediatric training programs and leading in the discovery of vaccines, lifesaving medical equipment, and pioneering treatments. Today, the hospital enjoys international recognition and continues to contribute to the advancement of children's health through a three-part mission of patient care, education, and research.

Download or read book Healing Children written by Kurt Newman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A groundbreaking medical memoir by one of our nation's leading pediatric surgeons - the visionary head of Children's National - for fans of Jerome Groopman and Atul Gwande. Anyone who has seen a child recover from a deep wound or a broken bone knows that kids are made to heal. Their bodies are more resilient, more adaptive, and far more able to withstand acute stress than adults. And yet children are often treated as an afterthought by the medical establishment and shunted off to doctors who specialize in treating adults. Will an anesthesiologist accustomed to treating older patients know how best to handle a toddler going under for the first time? If your soccer-playing daughter suffers a concussion, should you take her to the nearest ER--or drive further to seek out doctors who specialize in treating kids? In this deeply inspiring memoir Dr. Kurt Newman draws from his long experience as a pediatric surgeon working at one of our nation's top children's hospitals to make the case that children are more than miniature adults. Through the story of his own career and deeply moving accounts of the brave kids he has treated over the years (and their equally brave and determined parents) he reveals the revolution that is taking place in pediatric medicine"--

Book excerpt: When Vanderbilt University Hospital embedded a children's hospital within its new medical building in 1980, it represented a victory for those who had fought to establish a world-class children's hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. It took the combined efforts of the Junior League of Nashville, the Council of Jewish Women, other community leaders, parents, dedicated medical professionals, and even a state Supreme Court case more than half a century to make Vanderbilt Children's Hospital a reality. Along with disease and pain, the hospital's advocates battled racism, religious differences, politicians, academics, lawsuits, and hospital administration to ensure that children in middle Tennessee were served by a medical facility dedicated to them. Engagingly written and rich in historic detail, 'More Than a Place' traces the development of the children's hospital from its genesis as the Junior League Home for Crippled Children to its establishment as a premiere children's hospital.
