Since 1882, Children's Memorial Hospital has been the place where kids come first. That was the year Julia Porter transformed the loss of her 13-year-old son Maurice into a gift for other sick children, and turned an eight-bed cottage at Chicago's Halsted Street and Belden Avenue into the Maurice Porter Memorial Hospital.

Dedicated to the free care and treatment of children, the hospital soon saw local demand outweigh available space. Mrs. Porter's next move was to arrange for construction of a second building at Lincoln and Orchard Avenues that added 20 new beds. By 1890, the hospital's 68 patients were cared for by a professional staff of six, and the reputation of an experienced facility focusing on the complete care of children and their families continued to grow.

Today, in its second century, Children's Memorial has expanded into a multi-building campus and provides care at 13 Chicago-area locations.
