A Brief History	On June 25, 1930, two days after founding the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Executive Board met at the University Club in Detroit, MI. After other business, the Executive Board moved that the new President, Dr Isaac Abt, appoint several committees, one of which was the Committee on Hospitals and Dispensaries. The committee was appointed and soon started its work. It delivered its first re-port at the annual meeting of 1931. At that time, it proposed to gather information on hospitals in the United States and recommend ways in which they could improve their care of children. The Commit-tee has continued to function ever since. In 1955 it was renamed the Committee on Hospital Care.
