Van Leuven Browne Hospital School for Crippled Children
The Van Leuven Browne Hospital School for Crippled Children series (0.7 linear feet) includes materials related to Browne's work with the Hospital School. These materials highlight her passionate advocacy for children with physical disabilities. They also reflect on the personal and religious values by which she strove to live.
Of interest are two Record Books that contain lesson notes, nurses' notes, an essay on the School's history, and administrative information. Also found here are scrapbooks and photographs, and a patient register. In addition, the series contains materials that illustrate Browne's experiences as a young woman in St. Luke's Hospital in Chicago where she spent five years undergoing treatments for a spinal curvature she developed from a case of childhood polio.
