Bio: Daughter of prominent Dayton, Ohio capitalist Eugene Judson Barney, Anna Barney Gorman was the founder of what would become the Dayton Children's Hospital. This is written about her on the hospital's history web page (www.childrensdayton.org)
"America was ending World War I, but in Dayton, Ohio a new beginning was underway. Annae Barney Gorman, a philanthropist and community activist, had purchased a building on Chapel Street and was making plans for a community center to offer health services, education and recreation for North Dayton residents. Within a year, Annae Barney Gorman opened the Barney Community Center, which provided neighborhood residents free clinics, occupational therapy classes, a milk station and lunch program. Throughout her life, Mrs. Gorman continued to be active and interested in the progress of the community center and lived to see it develop into the only convalescent hospital in the area designed to care for polio victims. To reflect the center's expanded mission, the name was changed to the Barney Convalescent Hospital in 1947."
The hospital's focus and scope would continue to expand into the first-rate medical facility that it is today.
