History

Le Bonheur Childrens Medical Center A History of Excellence

More than 80 years ago a group of women shared a vision that would save the lives of literally tens of thousands of children These women began a sewing circle in 1923 called the Le Bonheur Club to make clothing for Memphiss orphans at the Leath Orphanage As the Le Bonheur Club membership grew so did its commitment to children Soon the Club moved beyond clothing orphaned children to attending their health care needs
By providing transportation to doctors appointments these benevolent ladies became well known to local pediatricians In 1944 when the Pediatric Society dared to dream of a hospital dedicated to children the Le Bonheur Club was called

Raising two million dollars was the challenge these industrious women undertook to build the facility which opened in 1952 as Le Bonheur Childrens Hospital On June 15 of that year the community gathered to open the doors of the hospital and tie the key to the front door to a balloon and let it float awaysymbolizing that our doors would always be open to all children needing medical care

When it opened Le Bonheur was called the most modern of childrens hospitals having the latest equipment by the Daily Press Scimitar That commitment to excellence continued through Le Bonheurs rich history

Now more than 50 years later the hospital has grown in size and scope Still bearing the name of its founders Le Bonheur Childrens Medical Center has grown to be the premier pediatric health care facility for children throughout the region Le Bonheurs clinical excellence continues today with the nations largest surgical brain tumor program and one of the top 10 busiest emergency departments

With a medical staff of more than 550 pediatricians Le Bonheur serves the health care needs of children from 95 counties within six states In addition children come from throughout the United States and the world
