HISTORY
The 2221 Society was formed by several like-minded folks that wanted to make changes within the Hospital but do so in a new, transformational way. The more things change, the more they stay the same; in 1909, the Hospital made its first transformation, moving from care being administered in tents to converting a former residence at 2221 Downing Street into a "well equipped institution with a capacity of 30 beds," admitting its first patients on February 17, 1910.

With your support, we can help children with a heartbreaking diagnosis and their families navigate treatment, therapy, education and so on
