Our history
Prior to the opening of the Convalescent and Services Pavilion in 1973, many services were scattered all over the Cincinnati area. Some of these services already had auxiliaries devoted to supporting and aiding their organization. As these institutions merged into the medical center’s family, they brought their auxiliaries with them.
The Cooperative Society and the Jr. Co-Operative Society were actively working for Cincinnati Children’s; the Association of Volunteers supported the Convalescent Hospital for Children, the Capital United Cerebral Palsy Women’s Committee aided United Cerebral Palsy, and the auxiliaries to the Children’s Dental Care Foundation and Adolescent Health Center supported their groups.
