Historical Note

Children's Orthopedic Hospital was founded in 1907 by Anna Clise and 23 other women who were concerned about the welfare of the city's crippled poor children. This Board of Trustees began with a children's ward in Seattle General Hospital which accepted patients regardless of the ability of parents to pay costs. The original aim was care of orthopedic cases, but the hospital soon extended aid to other medical problems of children. In 1908 they built a "Fresh Air Cottage" on Queen Anne Hill and by 1911 a 40-bed hospital next to the cottage. In 1953 the hospital moved to a new building on its present site near Laurelhurst. In 1963 the Hospital's name was changed to Children's Orthopedic Hospital and Medical Center (CHMC) to reflect all functions of the hospital. In 1986 the name was again changed to Children's Hospital and Medical Center. Today the hospital is a major teaching and research institution affiliated with the University of Washington School of Medicine and other schools. CHMC serves children primarily from Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska and continues to fund free or part pay treatment for children of poor families. The hospital is still governed by an all-woman Board of Trustees. A chairman of the Board is responsible for the Hospital's internal operations and a president oversees the Guilds and all their activities, fundraising, the CHMC shops and all major "all Guild" projects. The Guild Advisory Council is a group of approximately 22 women. The Council acts as liaison between the Guilds and CHMC and deals with matters pertaining to Guild and Auxiliary problems and functions. The Guild Council also plans the monthly Round Table Meetings which are the means by which Presidents of Guilds and Auxiliaries receive reports of Hospital activities and functions and projects of other Guilds.

Jack M. Docter was Medical Chief of Staff at Children's Orthopedic Hospital and Medical Center from 1969 to 1981.
