Scope and content
After years of striving, the Tacoma Orthopedic Guild's dream of a children's hospital in Tacoma was finally being realized. The cornerstone of a $900,000 hospital was laid on June 9, 1954. Representing the many workers of the project were: (l-r) Mrs. Michael Yuscko, Mrs. Roscoe Smith, Mrs. Roy Elstrom and Mrs. C.H. Kane. Funding for the hospital came from the Orthopedic Guild, the estate of Dr. A.W. Bridge, and interest on the Rust trust.
