In the spring of 1898, a 5-year-old Seattle boy named Willis Clise suffered and eventually died of what was called "inflammatory rheumatism." There was no treatment. Indeed, there was no doctor west of Philadelphia who specialized in any childhood ailments. Willis's sad story was commonplace in an era of less sophisticated medicine and few social services. But Willis's mother, Anna Clise, never forgot her son's suffering. Soon she embarked on a remarkably ambitious mission: to create from scratch an association dedicated to providing surgical and other hospital care to children, regardless of class, race or ability to pay. Anna Clise organized a board of 23 like-minded women from Seattle's most influential families in 1907 and opened an eight-bed treatment and recovery facility called the Fresh Air House the following year. From this modest start, driven by a board that for its first 98 years consisted entirely of determined women, Seattle Children's Hospital grew with the city and the needs of its young patients. It is now a 250-bed regional medical centre, a leader in pediatric medicine research, and is consistently ranked among the top 10 children's hospitals in the nation. This book recounts the history of this remarkable institution, and its impact on Seattle and on the thousands of patients it has served. Seattle historian Walt Crowley was the author of more than a dozen books and a co-founder of HistoryLink.org. David W. Wilma, former HistoryLink.org deputy director, is a freelance writer.
