When Vanderbilt University Hospital embedded a children's hospital within its new medical building in 1980, it represented a victory for those who had fought to establish a world-class children's hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. It took the combined efforts of the Junior League of Nashville, the Council of Jewish Women, other community leaders, parents, dedicated medical professionals, and even a state Supreme Court case more than half a century to make Vanderbilt Children's Hospital a reality.
Along with disease and pain, the hospital's advocates battled racism, religious differences, politicians, academics, lawsuits, and hospital administration to ensure that children in middle Tennessee were served by a medical facility dedicated to them.
Engagingly written and rich in historic detail, More Than a Place traces the development of the children's hospital from its genesis as the Junior League Home for Crippled Children to its establishment as a premiere children's hospital. Along the way, champions emerged forerunners like Dr. George Holcomb, who crusaded for a separate children's facility; visionaries like Dr. David Karzon, who made the dream come true with his hospital-within-a-hospital; and advocates like the Friends of Children's Hospital, who tirelessly insisted that hospital administrators tailor the medical facility to the needs of children and their families.
Today, the successor to that first children's hospital, the top-ranked Monroe Carell Jr. Children s Hospital at Vanderbilt, continues the dedication to children and their families started so long ago. More than bricks, more than hospital beds, and more than the legacy of one institution or individual, Vanderbilt's Children s Hospital has a heritage and future rooted in More Than a Place.
