Cincinnati Children’s was led by women, such as Mrs. Henry (Julia Amanda) Probasco, president from 1894 to 1904, from its inception until 1921.
In acknowledgment of their lack of training in a field growing ever more scientific, the Board of Lady Managers of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio relinquish their shared governing role to the hospital’s Board of Trustees.
In 1921 the Episcopal Church passed the reins to the Board of Trustees, which was presided over by William Cooper Procter, former president of Procter & Gamble, progressive, philanthropist and pioneer of labor relations.
The institution’s name is changed to “Children’s Hospital.” Even a century back, the merger of compassion and innovation at the heart of Cincinnati Children’s is clear.
