History Of Mt Washington Pediatric Hosp
** Our History **
In 1922, a medical social worker named Hortense Kahn Eliasberg sought to open a home where children could recuperate from illness and surgery.
Thanks to her efforts, the Happy Hills Convalescent Home for Children opened later that year in a colonial-style house in northwest Baltimore.
Over the next 80 years, Happy Hills underwent several dramatic changes, including the construction of a modern facility, three name changes, and a marked shift in the types of conditions and patients it treated.
Today, those who work at Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital remain committed to the mission Hortense Kahn Eliasberg established so many years ago - improving the health and well being of all children who are ill, injured, or in need of help.
