Gorham Babson was born in Hood River, Oregon in 1912, and entered UOMS in 1932. He opened a private practice in Portland in 1940 in an era without major antibiotics or vaccines. In 1950, he helped set up a premature nursery in Doernbecher Hospital, which became a regional center for neonatal care. He discusses his undergraduate education at Reed College and University of Oregon, as well as his residencies in New York and San Francisco and his specialty in pediatrics. He reviews some unusual cases and types of treatments in the early days of pediatrics, as well as innovations in the field during the 1960s and 1970s; for example, he recalls the development of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in the 1960s, and of advances in transport, collaboration, medical technology, and of his own textbook on the subject. 000003215 540__ $$fCC BY-NC 000003215 542__ $$fIn Copyright - Educational Use Permitted 000003215 610__ $$aDoernbecher Memorial Hospital for Children$$010783 000003215 650__ $$aPediatrics$$023687 000003215 650__ $$aIntensive Care, Neonatal$$028758 000003215 650__ $$aNeonatology$$022748 000003215 691__ $$aOregon Health & Science University.
