History
In 1902, Mary Irwin Laughlin established the Memorial Home for Crippled Children in order to care for a six-year-old boy whose legs had been severed in a train accident.Today, the organization she created to care for one child in need has grown into one of the nation's leading pediatric rehabilitation organizations. We are proud of our ever-changing, always meaningful history.
