Description

In 1886, the state of the art surgery room of Truman W. Miller, MD, in Chicago’s first children’s hospital had no electric lights, no antibiotics, limited equipment, and only probably the most rudimentary anesthesia. This renowned surgeon served on a voluntary basis as president of an all-volunteer medical personnel from 1882 to 1900. The hospital opened in 1882 as an eight-bed cottage in Lincoln Park, when pediatrics was once in its infancy. It was once at the leading edge then, and it is still a number of the country’s highest. For over a century, it was once referred to as Children’s Memorial Hospital, and it was once renamed Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago in 2012, when it moved to a 288-bed facility within the heart of the city. The hospital’s history reflects the steady advances in pediatrics, propelled by visionary individuals, pioneering clinicians, and the community―all dedicated to the care and well-being of children.
