Our History

This collection highlights some of the names and faces of those who helped make Children's Mercy into what it is today. The collection begins with the Berry Sisters and grows as Mercy grew to take on the care of more and more children. Caring for children is a group endeavor and requires efforts from various levels of staff. This collection includes medical and nursing staff, members of the Central Governing Board, hospital administrators, and more.

This curated collection in no way highlights everyone who has made an impact on Children's Mercy. This collection will be a living collection with new names and faces added continually. If you have a recommendation for this collection, please email Children's Mercy Library Services.
