History
Our History
A Glimpse of the Past

Bradley Hospital was the nations first neuropsychiatric hospital for children The hospital was named for George and Helen Bradleys only child Emma Pendleton Bradley who was born in 1879

Emma was stricken with encephalitis at the age of seven The disease left her with multiple disabilities including epilepsy mental retardation and cerebral palsy This tragedy sparked the Bradleys to conduct a worldwide search for a cure or a treatment for Emmas condition Because psychiatry and neurology were in their infancy hospitals were solely for adults and pediatric services were not yet available the Bradleys arranged aroundtheclock medical care for Emma at their summer home in Pomfret Connecticut

After eighteen years of treatment Emma showed no improvement George and Helen began to accept their daughters fate but wanted to ensure that other families would not share their familys struggle In their wills both George and Helen Bradley requested that the Baton House the familys Providence estate be converted into a treatment facility for children The board of trustees decided that more space and a less urban setting were necessary for the institution and so the beautiful home on Eaton Street was sold and 35 acres of wooded land was purchased on the Barrington Parkway The ground was broken in 1929 and two years later the institution opened its doors

The Emma Pendleton Bradley Home was officially dedicated on April 81931 during a ceremony in the hospitals Pine Room In accordance with the terms of George Bradleys will the facility gave first preference to poor needy children from Rhode Island Families were only billed if they had the means to pay And so 25 years after George Bradleys death the Bradleys dream was realized It is clear today that the dream was only the beginning
