Our History
Thomas McCormally wrote a book describing 120 years of Children's Mercy history, published in 2017.
"For All Children Everywhere" is the story of Children’s Mercy and a story of unending love and persistence on the part of two sisters – Alice Berry Graham, a dentist, and Katharine Berry Richardson, a surgeon - the people who followed them and of the community that took their mission into its heart. Today, 12 decades after its humble start as “The Hospital of the Little People,” Children’s Mercy still brings healing to the poor, but also hope to all children and all families of the city and the region.
Science & Heart: the triumph of psychosocial care in pediatrics by Thomas McCormally and Randall L. O'Donnell (2019) is about the growth of psychosocial care, an advance that leads to healthier children, stronger families and brighter tomorrows.Works from 2001
