Hogan, general chairman. Founded 1923 as a 20-bed center in Hermosa Beach, the Rehabilitation Center (then Convalescent Home) was the answer to the care of the cri-cially ill children, heart, arthritis, kidney patients and many more others who needed around-the-clock care and where, for the most part, the parents were unable to provide the essential quint and care. In 1942 the facilites were moved to their present location, just south of Childrens Hospital, to buildings donated by the Junior League of Los Angeles. Here, at the now 26-bed center, approximately 373 children received more than 7,775 hours of care. In accordance with the Center's basic philosophy that the child is "not an illness and malformation but a whole child and more," every effort is made to provide patients with a normal environment.

The facilities include a complete schoolroom with a full time teacher, a therapy room with the most modern equipment, a playroom with dolls, books, trains, toys of all kinds, a play yard with swings to swing on and bars for those who can climb, a screened veranda to beds can be rolled for air and rest; and, last but not least, "the sunshine bus," which transports the Center patients to appointments and on outings, taking just one day a year off to ferry Doll Fair goers fo Marlborough School from their cars.
