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
