The Pediatric Convalescence Hospital

M. Harry Jennison M.D.1

1 Medical Director Stanford Children's Convalescent Hospital 520 Willow Road Palo Alto, California 94304

I was delighted to read Dr. Frederic Burke excellent analysis of the important and unique role of the specialized children hospital designed to meet the complex needs of long-term childhood illness (PEDIATRICS, 43:879, 1969). We operate a similar intermediate-care children hospital facility at Stanford, having a parallel historical origin which has now evolved into a comprehensive program providing inpatient and outpatient care, teaching and training, and research in the chronic diseases of childhood and youth.
