In the years following World War II a polio epidemic affected thousands of children in Louisiana leaving many severely disabled Her love and concern for these children led the late Elizabeth Miller Robin a polio victim herself to establish a rehabilitation hospital exclusively for children With the financial support and leadership of a special group of community activists Crippled Childrens Hospital as it was then called opened in 1955

For the next 20 years the hospital served the community as a convalescent and rehabilitation center for physically handicapped children In 1976 services were added and the hospital expanded to become a fullservice hospital for children It was renamed Childrens Hospital Since that time the hospital has continued to grow to meet the everchanging healthcare needs of the community and to keep pace with advances in pediatric care

Today Childrens Hospital serves as the Gulf Souths leading pediatric medical center and is dedicated to providing the very best healthcare possible in an atmosphere of love and concern for the whole child
