Children's Hospital Foundation(formerly known as the Crippled Children's Hospital Foundation)

In 1917 Dr. William Tate Graham, Virginia’s first orthopedic surgeon, opened a free clinic in the basement of his office on East Franklin Street. Here Instructive Visiting Nurses Association (IVNA) nurses brought crippled children, most of whom were victims of the polio epidemic of that era.

By 1920, a group of citizens had organized “a charitable and benevolent” nonprofit corporation under the name of “Crippled Children’s Hospital.” It had no building of its own—only the services of Dr. Graham, the cooperation of the Medical College of Virginia for the use of two wards in Memorial Hospital on Broad Street, and some funds appropriated by the state. In 1928, with the generous $500,000 bequest of Sallie May Dooley, wife of Major James H. Dooley, the hospital on Brook Road was opened and all children who needed the hospital’s services were welcomed through the doors.

Through the years, the hospital continued to grow and by 1980, what began as a free hospital for needy children with orthopedic problems had developed into a multi-specialty hospital open to all children. In 1982, the hospital changed its name from “Crippled Children’s Hospital” to “Children’s Hospital,” reflecting more accurately the scope of services and treatments available.

In 1997, the Richmond Cerebral Palsy Center, founded in 1938 to provide therapy and skills training to children with disabilities, merged with Children’s Hospital to offer a wider variety of services to children and some adults.

In July 2010, Children’s Hospital joined together with Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Children’s Medical Center to create Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR). CHoR is the region’s only full-service children’s hospital, offering a robust continuum of pediatric services, research and education. The hospital provides care to more than 50,000 children and families each year.
