School of Medicine and Dentistry founded as the first medical school whose curriculum was developed utilizing the principles recommended by the 1912 Flexner Report on Medical
Education. Dr. Samuel W. Clausen (Johns Hopkins), well known for his research on vitamin A metabolism, appointed as the first Chair of the Department of Pediatrics. Strong Memorial Hospital opens with one full-time faculty member (Dr. Clausen) and three pediatric house officers; Dr. William L. Bradford was the first Chief Resident in Pediatrics. Dr. William L. Bradford (Washington University) later became the Department's second Chair. He made important contributions to our knowledge of the causes and treatment of pertussis Dr. Robert J. Haggerty (Cornell) became the third Chair of the Department of Pediatrics. Dr. Haggerty had been at Boston's Children Hospital. He is known for his contributions to community health care, the recognition of the new morbidities in children and their families, and the institution of health services research in pediatric practice. The new Strong Memorial Hospital opens Dr. David H. Smith (Rochester) became the fourth Chair of the Department of Pediatrics and returned to Rochester from Boston's Children's Hospital. His research led to the development of the Hemophilus influenzae, type b, vaccine, which has virtually eradicated the morbidity related to infections caused by this organism. The Strong Children's Research Center was established to bring together all University of Rochester faculty engaged in research directed to the causes, prevention and treatment of diseases of infants, children and adolescents to collaborate in their research and in the training of future physician scientists The Children's and Adolescent Ambulatory Health Care Center opens in the Strong Memorial Hospital's $83 million Ambulatory Care Facility; the Pediatric Service at Strong Memorial Hospital becomes Golisano Children's Hospital (a children's hospital within a hospital). Children's Hospital at Strong has embarked on a multi-million dollar 5-year strategic plan to enhance all aspects of our academic programs: faculty recruitment, and renovation of clinical, research, and teaching space. We shall recruit 20 new pediatric faculty, build a 22-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit/Cardiac 
Care Unit and a state-of-the-art Surgical Suite; we are, also, renovating all inpatient floors and will be expanding our ambulatory space. Research enhancements include centers of excellence in several areas: neonatal and pulmonary biology; genetics, cardiovascular disease; infectious diseases and vaccine biology; and child health services research.
