Martha Eliot was a pioneer in maternal and child health, a leading pediatrician, and an important architect of programs for maternal and child health. She is widely recognized for her contributions in developing services and preventive measures on behalf of children's health. Eliot was a member of the Yale Pediatric faculty from 1921 to 1935. We honor her as a champion of children's health and our Martha Eliot Champions stand in line with her commitment to help and enhance the health and well being of children.

Eli Ives Healing Society - $500 to $999

Today it is difficult to imagine health care without seeing pediatric medicine as its own specialty for the care of children. Eli Ives (1778 - 1861) pioneered the teaching of pediatrics in the United States. He was the first academic pediatrician in the U.S. and served as the Yale Professor of Diseases of Children. We honor his legacy to develop and train physicians to see the care of children in its own right. Members of the Eli Ives Healing Society are among a group of friends supporting the care and cure of our most vulnerable population: infants, children, and adolescents.

1921 Foundation Society - Up to $499

Pediatric care has a long and rich history at Yale extending back to the early 1800s. It was in 1921 that the Department of Pediatrics at Yale was organized on a full-time basis and began its far-reaching effect on the understanding of children and their diseases. We welcome our friends into the 1921 Foundation Society, which serves to sustain our commitment to provide outstanding care and advance our knowledge of diseases afflicting children.
