Rady Children’s Hospital - San Diego

Acerca de

On August 19, 1954, Rady Children's officially opened to receive its first 12 patients. Caring for a dozen patients may not seem that momentous, but in a town badly affected by the polio epidemic, Rady Children's was considered a godsend. Since then, nearly 2 million sick and injured children have been treated here. Plans for our Hospital began in 1951 when the Board of the San Diego Society for Crippled Children initiated construction plans for a new children's hospital. In 1953, Rady Children's Hospital Auxiliary was formed and, later that year, groundbreaking took place. Rady Children's will continue to grow and change with our community -- rising to even higher levels of excellence. And we do this for the best reason of all -- because it's the right thing to do for children.
